UP TO HIS NECK In MUD.

James Donol,ue Wades Across the
Mud Flats at the Old Colony Dis
tillerzes.
Saturday night, James Dononue, con-
siderably under the weather and also the
influence of whiskey went behind Sulli-
vans blacksmith shop at 1873 Grand ave-
nue.. From here he attempted to Cross
Clay street, which looks very near and
quite accessible. There is, however, a
branch of Mill river to cross, which at low
tide is almost entirely mud. 1t happened
to be low tide, and the uproa1ious James
thought that he could walk on mud. He
reached the middle without sinking very
deep, but it seemed that the nearer he got
to the shore on the other side the deeper
he sank, and when he had almost reached
shore he was exhausted. He could go no
farther and gave up trying. He was very
near shore but could not see it. He kept
gradually sinking, and began shouting
for aid. young man named James
Kelly heard his cries and fastened to his
aid. He procured a rope and fsstered it
to James waist He sent boy who works
in the distilleries to the Grand avenue pre-
cinct for assistance Officers McAllin and
P. Roche responded, and the two succeeded
in dragging Donohue from his dangerous
position. They thought that they were too
late and that Donohue was gone a. it was.
A volley of oaths soon set their fears at
rest. The patrol wagon was summoned
and Donohue was taken to the Grand ave-
nue. station, where his clothes were stripped
from him and warm drinks administered.
Old clothes were put on him and after a
short sleep he came out all right. He will
answer to the charge of drunkenness in
the city court this morning.

Sher Cean (or Campbell, as he was best

of which afforded very little accommoda-

INTO WEST RIVER.

Drove Down to Eavin ROck-The
Woman Jumped From the Car
rage Into the Deep Waters-Res-
cued-The Whole Party Arrested
The Woman Taken to the Hos
pital.
Last Saturday evening at about II
o'clock John Fl. Dolan, hack driver of
1873 East street, picked up two women on
Court street named Mrs. Catherine Terry
of Fillmore street, Fair Haven, and Mrs.
Annie Macdonald, who is employed as a
domestic in the family of Mrs. Mary Haz-
let, widow lady living at 415 George
street. The trio after wandering about
for some time hired top buggy and drove
to Savin Rock. where they were unable
to procure anything to drink. They
thereupon turned around and drove back
toward the city. Somewhere before they
reached the West river bridge on Kimberly
avenue they got something to drink and
by the time they reached the
bridge Dolan became consider
ably exhilsrated, and began to
insult and assault the Macdonald
woman. The woman seemed to have been
suffering from some weight on her mind,
which, taken with the mans insult, drove
her to desperation. She quickly jumped
from the carriage into the river, appar-
emily desiring suicide as much as escape
from Dolan's insult. Dolau Immediately
jumped in after her and with the aid of
George Baldwin rescued her. Officers
Tighe and Lautenbach soon put in their
appearance and the whole party were ar
rested and taken to the Howard avenue
precinct, whence the Macdonald woman
was taken to the hospital, as she was half
drowned. Dolan and the Terry woman
were taken to headquarters and locked up.
The Macdonald woman when interro-
gated at the hospital, gave her name as
previously stated, and said that she was
twenty-four years old, although she ap
pears older. She does not live with hel
husband and serves out as domestic. She
appeared to be reticent about the whole
affair. She will appear in the city cour
this morning, where she aud the Terry
woman will be charged with Sunday
drunks. Dolan will be charged with
drunkenness, assault and abuse. Tn,
women were not notorious, and conse
quently the Terry woman is out on bonds
Dolan is also out on bonds.
