James Carey SaVageIy Beats His Unfaithful

New YORK. July 14-At 2 o'clock yesterday
morning James Carey baker. of Newark, N.
j., exclaimed: 81 will bet some one is in my
house. and, putting on his coat. started for
home. Carey on entering his house, went at
once to his wife's bedroom. He saw a hat and
coat ON the floor which did not belong to him.
His wife lay still in bed as if asleep. hurried
inspection of the premises convinced him that
the intruder was not in the house. Hurrying
into the yard he found Matthew Purcell. a ba-
ker, in scant apparel, secreted in she'd Carey
made a rush for him, but Purcell nimbly scaled
fence and ran down Crane street. Carey then
entered the house and walked straight to his
wife's bedroom. He locked the door and then
wrenched a rung from chair. Without a word
of warning he walked over to the bed upon
which his wife was lying, and struck her with the
rung on the top of her head. She screamed, and
springing from the bed fell upon her knees
begging him not to murder her. He answered
her only with succession of heavy blows with
the chair rung. Her cries attracted the atten-
ton OF Mrs Lindsey, who lives the floor
above. She ran down stairs, and, finding the
door Of Mrs Careys room locked, she burst it
from its hinges. She weighs nearly two hun
dred pounds. Carey had his wife by the hair
and raining savage blows upon her up
turned face. Mrs. Lindsey rushed at him and
tried to drag him from his victim. In the scuf-
1e which followed, Carey's shirt was torn from
his back and Mrs. Lindsey was thrown in one
corner. The neighbors rushed into the room
and rescued Mrs Carey. who was then insensi
BILE. Carey took Purcells hat and coat into the
street and made a bonfire of them. He then re-
turned to his work Mrs. Carey's right arm,
two ribs and jaw broken; she has thirteen
scalp wounds, and her body is bruised all over.
Her wounds are not necessarily fatal however.

LONDON. Ont, July l4-The International
Molders' Union to-day passed series of rosolu-
tions setting forth belief that the time has ar
rived for union and solid compact between all
of the national and international unions, to
stand by and give financial support to each other
in all efforts for material advancement that,
while this amalgamation should be close enough
to guarantee each the support of all. the internal
management OF each organization should be left
to itself. A committee of three was appointed
to issue call for convention of representatives
of all trades-unons, not later than January next,
to carry out the plan suggested; that the mold
ers union constitution be amended to permit the
use of its funds to assist those of other trades
strike; that the constitution framed at the pro
posed federation convention be submitted to
each local union for ratification, and that the ex
ecutiye officers of the national and international
organization constitute the national federation
