An INJURED WIFE.
Her Cruel Husband Would Not Give Her $500
Month Pin Money.

Her Cruel Husband Would Not Give Her $500
Month Pin Money.
Mrs. Minnie Macduff, the wife of Mr..
John S. Macduff, the diamond broker, was
prisoner at jefferson Market, yesterday,
says the New York World of Sept. 10,
charged with malicious mischief.
The couple have not lived together
since Thanksgiving Day, 1884 when Mrs.
Macduff shot Mr.. Macduff. After the bull
let was extricated Mr.. Macduf had it
mounted in gold, and now wears it as a
charm on his watch chain. 1t bears this
inscriptions;
Thanksgiving gift from my devoted
wife, Thanksgiving Day, 1884"
The reason she shot him was because
her husband would not give her $500 a
month pin money. Macdutf left the
country as soon as he could so that he
would not have 80 appear against her.
She was subsequently discharged.
Since then Mr.. Macduf says he learned
that his wife had been married before she
became his wife, to a man named Bosnia,
who IS still alive and at present living in
Arizona. Divorce proceedings were be-
gun by Mr.. Macduff and the papers
served upon Mrs. Macduff, yesterday, by
Counsellor Phil Hathaway, Macduf's
counsel
Upon the 10th of last month Mrs. Bos-
cha, as she is called in the affidavit against
her. in company with her mother, Mrs.
Bollas, it is alleged, visited Mr.. Macduff' s
Office. MIR. Macduff had left the city, and
the Office was in charge of Col. James ID,
Potter and an office boy named Camp
bell Mrs. Macduff, it is alleged, declared
tragicaliy that she was Mrs. Macduf, and
began to wreck the office. Col. Potter
testified that he was in charge of the Of
flee when the two women entered. He
became somewhat alarmed at the demon
STATIONS of the younger of the two wo-
men. who had said she was the wife Of
Mr.. Macduff and had right to be there,
and she could do as she pleased. Mrs.
Macduff then proceeded to tear up all the
oil painting on the walls. Col. Potter
protested and called to her to stop. She
swept the ornaments off the mantels.
Col. Potter told the Office boy TO run for
policeman; the boy went, but did not
return. The bric-a-brac was scattered
from the shelves and shattered upon the
floor
Mrs. Macduf said yesterday, after hear

Office 10 ask him to take my portrait
off the wall The men in the ofise told
me Mr.. Macdutf and his wife were off

trait my mother tried to prevent me and
there was a scuffle."
Mr.. Macduff said he still feared the WON
an would shoot him. Her husband Boscha,
in a letter, Mr.. Macduff said, also alleged
that he was afraid of the woman and did
not wish to see her, as she would shoot
him.
Justice Smith committed Mrs. Macduff
TO the island for six months, in default of
$500 bale to keep the peace. She was
dressed in a suit of thick gray wool cloth
and carried an umbrella with a heavy
solid gold handle. She was taken into
prison.

Flight of the Sparrows.
From the Reading PA. Times

Within the last month or so the Eng
lish sparrows have almost entirely disap-
peared from their haunts III Reading and
vicinity. Where recently thousands of
these little busy, pugnacious, chirping
fellows have congregated there are scarce
ly any to be seen. The yards and gardens
and parks and streets are almost entirely
bare of them. They appear to have taken
umbrage at the hostility manifested
against them by the general public of
late years and at the laws passed by the
Legislature of a number of States. penn
sylyania among the rest for their des-
truction, and to have winged their fight
to sections Of country where they will be
better appreciated. 1t is also a note
worthy fact that since the departure of
the little scavengers the numerous insect
pests that prove so unsightly and destruc-
tive to our fruit trees and shrubbery have
largely increased in their ravages. The
nasty tent caterpillars are appeasing in
myriads, and are weaving their deadly
and unsightly webs in Que groves, or
chards and gardens. Not since the com
ing of English sparrows a score or more
of years ago, have the fruit trees suffer
ed so much damage as they are DONG
within few days or weeks Of their de-
parture.
