BOTH BRUTALLY BEATEN.

John Gleason and John Leahey Receive
Terrible Treatment at the Hands of a
Gang of Men-Kicked and Hammered
Till Unconscious.
A disgusting sight was witnessed by
people living near Craft avenue and Forbes
street last evening about 6 o'clock John
Gleason and John Leahey were terribly
! beaten by a crowd of men they had
been spending the afternoon with. The
whole party had been visiting speak-easies
in the Fourteenth ward, about Soho, and
were all more or less intoxicated. In the
evening Gleason was accused of having
given information to the police, resulting
In the closing up of speak-easy in which
his accuser had been interested. Gleason
denied the charge The other members of
the party, while pretending to believe him,
decided to punish him and started off with
him for that purpose.
They had reached the corner of Forbes
street and Craft avenme when Gleason re-
fused to 60 any further. Then it was that
his supposed friends assaulted him. They
first attacked him with fists, four men at
once, and although he was big strong fell
low amply capable of taking care of him
self with any one of them, he was finally
knocked down on the sidewalk. -Four men
then began to kick the poor fellow in the
face, on the head and all over the body,
sinking their boot heels into his face and
behaving like fends. Gleason was uncon-
scious before this kind of work had con-
tinued long, but his assailants were not sat-
isfied until they ran out into the street and
began throwing cobble stones at his pros
trate form.
This act was even too brutal for Leahey,
who had up to this been merely a spectator
and he ran in to save Gleason. The four
men who had assaulted Gleason at once
turned upon Leahey and knocked him
down. Two men then devoted themselves
to kicking him, while the other two, not
satisfied with the treatment they had given
Gleason, returned and resumed the attack
BY striking him on the face and head with
their hootheels.
The men would probably have killed both
Gleason and Leahey outright had not some
one living near telephoned for the patrol
wagon. Its approach was noted by some of
the other members of the gang who had not
participated in the assault, and the alarm
being given there was no one in sight but
the two PROSTATE, unconscious victims of the
assault when the wagon reached the spot.
The two injured men were taken to
the Fourteenth ward police station,
where by the use of restorations they were
finally revived and attended by physician.
They gave the police the names of some of
the men and warrants are out for their
arrest.
1t is not known Just how serious Gleason's
injuries are, but as he is bruised from head
to foot, they may result very badly. The
arrival of the police saved Leahey from as
severe punishment as Gleason received, but
he is also in bad shane

WILLING TO MURDER HIM.
A Wife Who Would Kill Her Husband Ii
Promised aLight Sentence.

Promised aLight Sentence.
Marriage is certainly failure so far as
an Allegheny woman is concerned. Her
name is Mary Miller, and its fame has
travelled as far as Claremont many time
Her town residence is on Middle street, but
of late years she has not occupied it very
much, as her residence up the Allegheny
river is frequently prescribed for her
health's sake.
Yesterday the poor woman was sent to
Claremont again for 90 days. She and
Charles Helm had been celebrating Satur-
day night together, and they rode to Gen.
tral station in the same wagon. Her COM
panion went ten days to Jail, but she was
retired from society and will not return
until Halloween.
Before leaving yesterday she gave to one
of the officers a bit of her family history.
She has been married for ten years, and
says it was her husband who drove her to
drink She declares he ill-treated and
abused her. He would go away for
days and them come homo drunk.
She believed she would be
good woman if he were only out of the
way, and remarked to the turnkey: II
kind of like the workhouse, but they tell
me it is pleasanter to live at the peniten-
tiary. Say, if 1 was certain that 1 would
not get more than IL years, would kill my
husband. He is no good in this world, any
way"

HOW THEY KEEP GAME.

Texas Hunters Use Ammonia to Prevent
the Meat From Spelling.
''Down in Texas" remarked an old hun
ter yesterday, ''they have habit of pre-
serving game by freezing water around it.
1t is done by the use of ammonia, and
have seen birds and rabbits
kept in this way for six months.
am told that much of the game sold in
Northern markets in the winter time comes
from the South, and it has been killed many
moons before it is consumed. As long as
the meat is not tainted it is all right.
'For that matter venison should be
little bit turned before it is eaten. This is
true of mutton and beef also. Fresh meat
is always tough. The tissue becomes ten
der by keeping it for awhile before it is
served"

ing the speak-easy of John Mendel, at Is

Rutich were in Central station.
The story of the raid is in the
fact that the house at Is Saw Mill
alley has been raided number of times
The last was scarcely six weeks ago and the
proprietor received a 80 days sentence.
When he was released he at once got
transcript of the docket and entered suit for
false arrest. He claimed that he had not
kept a speak-easy, because the officers
had not produced any liquor from
his place in evidence. Yesterday
a search was made and the beer was found
in O vault beneath the cellar. The officer
took case of it along with the prisoners

day was that of Peter Schell. His resort at

MURPHY's LOOKING BACKWARD.

The Big Chief Already Planning for the
Next Fourth of July.
Chief Murphy, of the Department of
Public Safety, Allegheny, contemplates
having display of fireworks for the citi-
zens of Allegheny on next Fourth of July.
AS yet it is only dream which has not
assumed tangible form, but beyond question
it will develop into the most solid reality
by the time summer comes.
1t is the big chiefs belief that he can find
enough patriotic citizens in Allegheny to
contribute to q fund of 81, 200 or 1900,
which in his estimation would be sufficient
to make creditable display on the top of
Seminary Hill.

gallons of it will yield one gallon of salt.
A man standing in the water could not sink
