She is o Holy Terror!

NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 81
Mrs. James Moohan, of Mamden, is an
Amazon who to-day threshed deputy
sheriff and two assistants in fine style.
The deputy had a writ of attachment to
take wagon which Mrs. Moohan's hus-
band owed $50 on. The woman, who
weighs upward of two hundred pounds,
in the absence of her husband told them
to 90 to sheol with their writ. Then
with a heavy club she struck the officer
over the head, laying him low. His
assistant, Catlin, also caught it badly
Then farmer came along with load
of hay. He was commanded by the
deputy to assist, and he reluctantly went
in and was badly hurt. Then the dis.
com6ted three went in together and Mrs.
Moohan dropped the club and used her
fists and teeth. The three finally got
the wagon out of the yard, but the writ
was spaltered with blood.
A strong body of police s'being organ
lied to arrest Mrs. Moohan.-Meao- York

Another Trust the Result.

F1N1Ay, OHIO, Jan. 13.-The window
glass men of this city, who start for
Washington tonight to attend the Ma.
tional Convention of the Window Glass
Manufacturers Association, which meets
on Tuesday in that city, have received a
communication from Pittsburg manu-
facturer, whose name they will not dis.
close, asking them TO vote for resolution
he intends submitting to the convention,
ordering the shut down ofa number of
factories in order to relieve the glutted
condition of the market and force prices
up little.
In his letter the Pittsburg manufacturer
insists that prices are lower now than
ever before, and that this state of affairs
is all due to the large number of factories
started in the West during the past two
years. He therefore proposes that new
factories, all but two of which are now in
the Association, not having any fuel to
pay, on account of getting natural gas
free, shall shut down, thus relieving the
market of this output, and that the run.
ming factories shall give those closing en-
equal share in the profits which will
accrue from the advance in prices which
this step will bring about. Interviews
with the glass men here who will attend
the Washington convention reveal the
| fact that with one exception they are
favorable to the proposition, and will so
| vote when the matter comes before the
meeting, thus assisting in the formation
| of nothing more nor less than Window.
Glass Trust, with all that the name i'm
