SHE TURNED MIGRATE.
AN INFURIATED WOMAN ATTACKS THE
CENTRAL STATION MATRoN

Maggie Castle Refuses the Offers of People
to Lead Her in Better Walks of Life
She VIII Likely Go to the Work
house.
A case of base ingratitude was developed
at the Central Police Station las. night, it
being the elimination of fruitless attempts
to reform woman of whom better things
had been expected.
Maggie Castle, better known as Mag Con-
ley, the wife OF Dude Castle, had been ar
rested for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct and taken to the Central Station, where
she was turned over to kiud-hearted Matron
Bremen, to whom Mrs. Castle has the best
of reasons to feel truly grateful. The woman
was quiet and undemonstrative in the cell
corridor, as long as the sergeants remained,
but the moment they left she turned upon
the matron like 4 tigress and began to
pummel her with her fists. Mrs. Castle is
much the younger and stronger of
the two, and would probably have
inflicted severe injury upon the matron
had not her cries brought the
sergeants to her assistance. They quickly
overpowered the iniuriated woman and forced
her into cell, cursing and swearing be-
cause she had been prevented from wreaking
her spite upon her benefactress.
The attack upon the matron by this
woman is unexpialnabIe. Mrs. Castle is the
wife of William, or Dude, Castle, who, the
police say, is one of the worst characters in
the city. Three months ago they were both
arrested, and, through the Intervention OF
philanthropic persons who took an interest
in the young couple and desired to reform
them, an arrangement was made by which
Castle was to be released on condition that
he would leave the city, go to work and es-
tablish home for himself and wife. If he
kept steady, supported his wife and behaved
himself for year he was to be allowed to
return to the city. Matron Bremen
iancied she saw much promise of good in
Mrs. Castle, and it was largely due to her
efforts that a long term sentence to the
workhouse was prevented for her and her
husband.
Castle and his wife were both agreeable
to the proposition and Castle was released.
He went to Lancaster county at once and
secured employment, where he worked
steadily for time. His wife in the mean
time was given quarters at the Bethesda
Home, where she conducted herself to the
satisfaction of those who were interesting
themselves in her behalf
Last week, however, Castle returned to
the city in spite of his promise, but kept
out of the way OF the police until Thursday,
having, in the meantime, communicated
with his wife, who left the house and Joined
him last Saturday. They both got drunk
on Wednesday and on Thursday Castle was
arrested. The officials were tired of giving
him advantages, so he got a sentence of 90
| days to the workhouse. His wife
Yesterday heard OF his sentence and went tc
Magistrate McKenna's Office in a half
drunken condition and began to upbraid
and abuse him so loudly for sending hel
husband up, that he was finally compelled
to have her locked up. 1t was when taker

A FLAG PRESENTATION.

The Starry Banner to be Flung to the Breeze
From the High School Building-Ben
Franklin Council, Jr. O. U. A. NJ, the
Donors. .-.
A large number were present at the High
School last evening, it being the occasion of
the presentation of beautiful silk flag to
the school, the gift of Ben Franklin Coun-
ell, Jr. o. U. A. NJ. The flag was presented
on behalf OF the council by S. q. Trent,
Esq, and received in behalf of the school
by Mayor Gourley. A pleasing programme
was presented, the exercises being conducted
by Principal Wood. Several patriotic
songs were sung by chorus OF the pupils.
After an opening song by the chorus Mr..
Trent made the presentation. He dwelt on
the beauties and necessity of patriotism, say
ing that such Government as ours requires
that patriotism be taught from the pulpit
and the school platform. The glories of this
country, of which the Stars and Stripes is
the emblem, were obtained by patriotism.
The hopes and expectations to achieve the
security and permanence of our National
Government rest not upon armed fleets and
standing armies, but upon the moral worth
and patriotism of our boys and girls who are
being educated in the free schools of our
country; therefore, let the emblem of Am er-
lean liberty float over the public schools of
| our land. -.... ,-.i..z.. ..
'The Star Spangled Banner" was sung bv
the chorus, after which the flag was received
for the school by Mayor Gourley. The
Mayor said that he honored the workmeu of
our land, but he made lower bow to the
teachers who are educating the Is, ,000, 900
children who are to shape and control our
| country IL the future. If the Irishman
loves his native land, where wealth is the
lot of the few, and poverty the lot of the
many. how much more should the American
citizen love the country Of which the flag in
view was the emblem. Continuing, he re-
ferred to the immortal names OF men who
have marched under that flag, and the great
historical events at which it was present.
In conclusion he accented the flag tor the
school and thanked the members Of Ben
Franklin Council for their gift.
The recitation of a poem by Prof. Sleeth
and the song America" by the audience,
| concluded the evenings programme.

The Great Rush at KIeber & Bros Al
ready Begun.

Persons can have no idea of the popular
ity of the Kleber Bros. and the immense
business they are doing in the sale OF pianos,
organs, mandolins, guitars, etc., unless they
drop III at their warerooms, 500 Wood street.
And Titles the wonder, for the Messrs.
Kleber have the monopoly of the grandest
pianos made in America. Just look and
listen to the glorious Steinway and Conoyer
pianos, and the popular Gabler and Opera
pianos, and you will admit that nothing
else will compare with them. Resides, the
Messrs. Kleber sell at honest, reasonable
prices. They take the smallest profits of
any dealer, and they give the longest war
ranty and sell on the easiest monthly paw
ments. Klebers' store is the most popular
place to buy at, and people have implicit
faith in their honest dealings ana their
superior judgment.
