How Women Temper Justice.

ut is a singular fact" said Mayors
Clerk McC Cleary, "but nevertheless true,
that nine out of every ten women who
have their husbands arrested, or make
information against them for cruelty,
either withdraw the charge or pay the
fine. Only last week we had acase of
a man who was habitually drunk and
known as wife-beater. The wife
brought the suit and then wanted to
withdraw it, but was not allowed to do
SO, as some of the neighbors told us that
it would be a blessing if the man was
sent to the workhouse. The man was
fined $40 and costs, or thirty days. Now
after that woman and . number of
neighbors had testified to the many acts
Of cruelty the dutiful wife paid the fine.
She had not a cent in the world, but
said when she paid over the money that
she had borrowed it from fourteen Of
her neighbors, in one case getting only
20 cents. There were tears in her eyes,
but don't know what caused them.
They might have been shed on account
of parting with the money, and it might
be she was sorry her husband was GO
ing home with her. There's no telling
what woman will do.
At the Central station few nights
ago a woman had her husband locked
up for beating her. She followed the
officers, and when the iron doors closed
with bang she changed completely,
and begged piteously that he be allowed
to 90 home with her. Her cries were
not needed. At the hearing the next
morning she was present, and the pay
ment of o $40 fine for the man that had
| struck her seemed to please her rs much
as new toy does q child. The police
officers are always very careful about
| arresting man who is complained Of
| by his wife, for the woman will seldom
appear against him. /.
aNever interfere in family quarrel, z
| said an old officer. THE only time
was ever beaten was through trying to
save woman from being beaten by her
husband. 1t was on the South side.
was passing along the street and heard

the rear Of house was a big Irishman
beating his wife. / jumped over the
fence and dragged the man off and
handled him pretty roughly, as he
fought me. As soon as the woman
realized that her husband was in the
clutches Of an officer she came at me,
and between both man and woman

ruined. Never interfere in q family
quarrel until it is reasonably certain
i that one Of the parties is too far gone tc

Once in long while the usual order

named Magee was arrested at the In

BESSIE KITZNIILLER.
Her Father and Other Relatives Speak OF
Her History.

Canton, (0.) Special.
The special dispatch from Danville Ind, of
Friday, detailing the romantic history of little
Bessie Talbot, of that town, who in reality. Is
the daughter of Mr.. Bert Kitzmiller, of Canton,
created great social sensation here. Mr.. Kitz-
miller is young wealthy gentlemen. and be-
longs to one of the foremost families OF Canton.
His wife, who died a few weeks ago, was a
daughter OF Mr.. David Sherrick. one of the old
est and richest farmers of Stark county, who
lives but short distance south of Canton, and
who is an uncle of ex Senator Johnson Sherrick,
of Canton. Mr.. and Mrs Kitzmi,ler were mar
ried in the spring of 1876, since which time they
have lived in elegant style in Canton No chill
dren apparently blessed their union, and the dis
closure that they had an eleven-year-o daugh-
ter living with the Talbot family in Danvile
caused universal hubbub throughout the city,
and has been the town talk all day.
Mr.. Bert Kitzmiller the father of the little
GIRL and Mr.. David Sherrick. the aged father of
the dead mother and wife, were both seer to-day.
They returned Friday night from Danvile,
whittier they had been. accompanied by Mr..
Jacob A kitzmiller, father of Mr.. Bert Kitz-
miller and Mrs. John Sherrick, sster-in-law of
the dead woman. They say that the girl Bessie
was given to the Talbotts to raise, but was never
legally adopted by them. When Mr.. kitzmiller
told Bessie he was her father she refused to be-
ieve him, and clung to Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot
AS it was evident that it would break Bassie's
heart to take her away, the relatives concluded
to allow her to remain with the Talbotts until
she is old enough to fully comprehend the situa
ton, when her father will bring her to Canton
and rear and educate her.
The Talbotts will be literally paid for the care
they have given Bessie. Both her father and
grandfather are wealthy gentlemen, and she is
heir apparent to fully 100000. Mr.. Kitzmiller
contradicts Mrs. Talbott's story, and says it was
always his desire to bring Bessie home. but his
wife objected. The report that the Talbotts
were offered $4,000 to give up the child is en-
tirely unfounded. They have no legal claim on
the little girl except the cost of her maintenance
since childhood. The secret of Bessie's exist
ence was confided only to an intimate lady
friend of Mrs. Kitzmiller, and when the latter
died this lady informed Mrs Kitzmiller's rela-
tives of the fact, whereupon steps were taken to
reclaim the child. resulting as stated
