GOT HIS DESERTS.
Woman Beaten that Did Not
Escape.

Woman Beaten that Did Not
The Police Court calendar yesterday
morning contained a charge of battery
against Larry Beneditto, man who has
been living for some years with woman
named Margaret Mcdonald. On Tuesday
she swore to complaint against him,
stating that he had beaten her in an out
rageous manner on Saturday night. Her
face was scratched and her breast and body
was mass of bruises.
Yesterday morning when the defendant
was arraigned, he smilingly pleaded not
guilty and acted as though he felt sure his
case was. fixed, as is usual in these cases.
The complaining witness was called to the
stand and at once said: Judge, | dismiss
the case. 1 don't want to prosecute him
this time" The Judge did not see it in
that light, and asked:
Is this man your husband?"
Well, he ought TO be-"
But are you married."
NO
Then" said the Judge, we will hear
the facts of this case"
The woman then reluctantly told how on
Saturday night the prisoner had come
home late and she had locked him out
He climbed in the window and beat her
numerically. He had beaten her many
times before, and she exhibited crooked
wrist which she said he broke some six
months ago. She said that she worked for
a living and he paid the rent of the house
where they lived. For the past three weeks
he had provided nothing for her TO eat.
Beneditto went upon the stand ir his own
behalf and denied having struck the
woman at all. He had never beaten her
except when she was intoxicated. Did not
break her wrist. That happened one night
when she was drunk and he put her out OF
the house and she went off with another
man.
After hearing all the testimony, Judge
Buckley said there was no doubt in his
mind but that the woman had been bru-
tally beaten by the prisoner. and accord
lngly sentenced him to paw fine of $50 or
90 the County Jail for so days He said
that man who would beat woman as
this woman had evidently been beaten,
was not entitled TO the respect or sympathy
even of his best friends. A great many of
this class of people seemed 10 think that if
woman got intoxicated thsy had right
to beat her. No such right was recog.
nized in this country, whether the woman
was the mans wife or not, and he intended
to do what he could 10 put g stop TO this
wife and woman beating. He warned the
prisoner that if he ever came before him
again on similar charge he would not get
of so easily.
There have been great many of these
cases before the Courts lately, but as a rule
the women who make the complaints re-
fuse TO testify when the case comes to trial.
Mrs. Mcdonald would have evaded Civ
ing her testimony if she could have done
so, but she could not shield herself under
the privilege of a wife, and consequently
one of the brutes got his deserts

DisrrnoefnI Vandalism

The State authorities have gone to heavy
expense in planting a lot of very fine
bronze and white birches, umbrella trees
and other ornamental shade trees along the
sidewalk on the north side of n street and
in the State Capitol Park opposite, which
in short time would make DELIGHTFULLY."-
shaded avenue but for the depredations of
the boys in the neighborhood, who are de-
stroying them as fast as possible. Many of
them are already badly broken down by
the young vandals, and soon nothing will
be left of them unless the two Park officers
and the mounted policemen on that beat
can capture some of the boys and make an
example of them. Their parents evidently
pay no attention to their conduct.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.


Generally Favorable Reports from All
Parts of the Country.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3-The weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Sept states
that the weather during tho week has been
unusually favorable for riponiug, harvesting
and thrashing Of wheat in Minnesota and
Dakota. II has also been favorable in the
greater portion OF the corn belt, but too
much rain occurred in the extreme southern
portions OF the states bordering ON the Ohio.
Reports from Kansas indicate that the corn
crop is secure and past possible injury from
frost
The weather has been too cold IN Michigan
to favor a rapid growth OF corn, but no in
jury is reported to the crop in that state,
and the cutting will commence next week.
Reports from Kentucky show that tho
heavy corn crop in that state has been some
what damaged by recent rains, and that the
season has been sufficiently favorable TO in
sure an average tobacco crop
The heavy rains have damaged the grow
ing crops in the cotton and sugar regions,
except in North and South Carolina, where
the rainfall has not been excessive and the
weather has been generally favorable In
the middle states favorable conditions have
prevailed, both for the ripening Of corn and
for fall plowing In New England tho rain
fall was generally favorable, but the weather

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept 8.-Three
men were burned 20 death in a hotel fire In
this city yesterday. A policeman noticed
hames bursting from a window in the second
story OF the Amsrican house. Tho OfIcer
burst in the door and alarmed the boarders
some Of whom escaped by the stairs and
some jumped from the second story windows
No ladders could be procured which would
reach to the third story wilhlows, and blank
cts were held by those on the street, into
which the inmates OF the place jumped, gen
orally escaping with slight injuries
The three men who were burned 10 death
were awaiting chance TO jump when they
were seen 70 fall back into the burning
building. When the flames were extin-
guished a search was made for the bodies,
which were found in the ruins All were
fearfuly burned, and only one has been
identified. This one was recognized by his
clothing as Patrick Claire, a French Can
adian,swho came to this city few days ago.
The others have not been identilied, and it Is
doubtful Il they ever will be, as most Of the
occupants Of the building were numbering
men or miners who were merely in the city
for the day. The fire originated in a room
occupied by three men who had been drunk
and when they went 70 bed left kerosene
lamp burning. IL is supposed that in some
manner this became overturned and ex-
ploded. These three men escaped after be-
ing severely burned.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3. Notwithstanding
Philadelphia is called slow, the fact that
nearly $500, 900 has been spent on places OF
amusement in this city during the past sum
mer proves that there is considerable life
and enterprise here. Two new theatres have
been built, two others almost entirely re-
built, and large sums expended for painting
and decorating the old houses. Grand opera,
which proved failure in most OF the other
cities, has been produced all summer in a
hrst class manner at the naw opera house,
and money made from the start
The season has begun with boom, nearly
all Of the houses being now open and doing a
good business.

CHESTNUT Street opera house, which has been
made especially beautiful by the lavish out
lay OF money, opens Tonight
Arrangements have been made for a grand
production OF "The Midsummer Nights
Dream" at this house, upon which $50, 0OC
will be expended.
II is stated upon good authority that every
theatrical manager in the city is coming
