A Murderous Assault in Rutland-The
Criminal Escapes.

RUTLAND, VT, Oct. John Harry
narrowly escaped death at the hands of
his brOther-in law, Jas. G.. Hannah, at
West Rutland this evening. Bad blood
has existed between them for several

Harry in the face. Hannah was arrested
and fined for assault. Hannah swore
vengeance for the arrest and tonight
struck lIarty several blows on the head
with Il carpenters hammer. Harty
was sitting in his yard on wheel
barrow, when his brother-in law
approached him and without saying II
word struck him to the ground with a
blow and followed it up with several
others in quick succession. The skull
was laid bare for three inches IN the TEN
pie, and there is Il terrible wound back Of
his ear. The would-be murderer was
stopped by a neighbor, but when held
back he threw the hammer striking his
PROSTATE victim in the back. Hannah then
took to the woods and when overtaken by
the officers turned on his pursuerS
with long knife, and threatened to xiii
the first man who approached him. The
officers went for arms and assistance ana
Hannah escaped. Parties are searching
the woods for him tonight. Both parties
are employed in SheldOn's marble quar-
ries. Hannah is Il powerful fellow with
an ugly temper. There is no doubt but
deliberate murder WAS planned as no
words were lnterchanged and Hannah
brought the weapon concealed under his
coat. Harty's condition is critical,

a BRUTE.

Sunday evening about O'Clock, Dr. Crab
tree was called to come Immediately to a
house near the school house on North Water
street. When he arrived he found q woman,
who he was informed was Mrs. Evans, suf-
fering intensely. Upon examination he
found her lip cut in to the teeth; her eye so
badly bruised and pounded as to make it inn
poi;ible for her to see; her shoulder bruised,
the marks OF severe kick in the left groin
ard her left foot and ankle mashed and
bruised. The in!lunan brute who had ln-
Aicted all this suffering upon the poor wo-
man was her husband, to whom she had been
married but two months.
While the doctor was attending to her
wounds Evans was seen to come to the win
dow and peep in: afterwards, seeing no Off
Ger, he made bold enough to venture Ill the
room. He looked carelessly upon his wife
and drew from his pocket a flask of whiskey.
which he drank The doctor left, and meet
ing Sheriff Hays upon the street, told him OF
the affair, and Evans was Immediately ar
rested and put in jail
Evans committed the assault in fit OF
jealousy and while under the influence of

SoNG SEyICE.

The SON., services last Sunday evening at
the Baptist church We're enjoyed by all pres
ent. The change in which all were allowed
to participate, seemed to be welcomed by
every one. The address OF the Rev. Harper
was highly in accord with the occasion He
spoke extemporaneously for twenty minutes
ugon the subject of music. In his remarks,
he referred to the various opinions found
among the people concerning what Is the
proper church music. The two extremes
were considered worthy Of criticism. a
certain class thought the Old deacon should
start all OF the selections and ali of the rest
of the congregation join in and sing some
thing whether it was the piece Intended OF
not. The next extreme class cried out for q
trained ouartatte who should sing Italian or
Spanish according - the strictess rules CT
the science which would be understood by
none on earth and few in heaven. Those
who were anzions for the last, woula appoint
themselves as critics, and go home and dis
cuss the music and the personel OF the choir
at the expense OF the sermon. The speaker
did rot favor excluding either instrumental
or vocal music, but thought a happy COM
!jiuatien desirable.
