Kawiski, of No 314 Fifth street, a work
man in the round house, and accused him
of trying to get his wife, Mrs Madinski.
to leave her husband. Kawiski denied
the accusation, but the denial did not CON
ciliate Madinski, who brought his heavy
sledge down at Kawiski's head and struck
at the juncture of the left shoulder and
arm. They were then separated. When
Kawiski got home his wife, who had
heard of Madinski's charge, was Jealous
and declared she would not live with her
husband until she was satisfied.
There was no ground for jealousy:
Kawiski had Madinski arrested, and
Justice Martinez today held him for the
Grand Jury. Mrs Kawiski and Mrs.
Madinsk were present, and the former
went home with her husband satisfied
that Madinski's jealousy was unfounded.

turned 50, 400 into court for Sles-

the Philadelphia men got wind
of what was going on and made a scram-

goods were purchased under false pre-

Several witnesses were on the stand
this morning. and the testimony adduced

The Man Who Swindled +. 4. Bach Pleads
Guilty.
Robert Byrnes, alias King. yesterday
pleaded guilty before Judge Reed in the
Quarter Sessions, Philadelphia, to four
bills of indictment, charging him with
forgery and false pretences. The de-
fendant had been fugitive since 1891,
and was apprehended but recently
1t appeared that he had signed the
names of alleged paymasters of the
United States army to bogus checks pur-
porting to have been drawn on the
Government Depository at Washington,
by means of which he defrauded DreXel
& Co, of $3.50 and the American Trust
Company of $767.
Byrnes represented that the money
was due him for back pensions, and the
printed forms used by him were well
calculated 10 deceive. The names signed
by him were imaginary, and the govern
ment agency a myth, but as Byrnes was
well known about town be had no diff
Guilty in getting persons TO identify him.
The defendant was convicted of pass
ing a bogus check for SIS on Frank
Metz, but he denied any knowledge Of
this transaction. Superintendent of
Police Linden said that Byrnes had been
known as ''rounder" and repeater"
previous to his entering into the swind-
! ling scheme. 1t was alleged that he
was wanted in Wilmington for like
oiiense. Byrnes averred that he had
received the papers among lot Of
Confederate notes and said that he
must have been ''out Of his head" when
he used them.
The judge said he was afraid that the
defendant had not only forged the sig
natures TO the checks, but had deliber-
ately concocted an elaborate scheme to
defraud. He sentenced the defendant to
five years in the Eastern Penitentiary.

THE apostrophe Of Dr. Bartlett at the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church inWashington TO the black walnut
pew which Lincoln occupied when he
attended services at that church, is a
great deal like fetichism Lincoln was
manly, sensible, brave and earnest, but he
was not a religious man. II he were liv-
ing now the Republican party would
treat him as they have treated Gresham
and prefer Wanamaker instead Halstead
one of the famous Republican writers Of
the times in which Lincoln lived, said he
was fool and traitor. At that time
no one would have thought of paying
homage to the pew in which he sat occa-
sionally; so that now the fulsomeness Of
the praise is grating to ones nerves. II

The startling story 81 the death Of A.
V. DUPONT coming from Louisville to day

general public Mr.. DUPONT was scarcely
known; but, so far as he was known, he
was respected. He was taciturn and
secretive, like other members Of the
family. Though he owned several news.
papers he was as inimical and uncommu.
nicative to them as the members of
the family are here. Hence this news
of the manner of his death is a great
shock to the people of Louisville. Com.
ing as it does after the shocks and scan
dals of the family which have startled
the people here, it protends something ON.
inous, as if Nemesis were pursuing the
family. Within the past four years there
have been that awful tragedy of the
explosion and its consequent loss Of life
the barn burning and its calamities; the
William DUPONT divorce and marriage,
the misalliance Of one Of the younger men
and the suicide of Louis Dupont. This is a
strange and dreadful category. 1t makes
one shudder to entertain the uncanny
thoughts it encourages. Whether a
man is fatalist, a pessimist or believes
in retrlbutive justice; whether he re-
CARDS these fatalities as simple and
natural coincidence likely to occur in
any family Of an equal number Of people
is matter Of casuistry the fact is that
they have happened in this family and il
makes one stand sghast to think of them
