A YAMACRAw ROW.
Barney Clark and His Wife Have
Set-to in Which he Gets Worsted.

Set-to in Which he Gets Worsted.
Barney Clark went to his home last
night, at Lumber and Bryan streets, con-
siderably under the influence of liquor
and began abusing his wife.
The woman finally had to run out on
the street to avoid the brutal treatment
of her husband. Clark followed and
threw several stones at her, and she had
to take refuge behind a tree. Clark then
being unable to hit her with the stones
closed in on her. She whipped out
knife and tried to keep him at bay. He
seemed determined on hurting her seri-
ously if possible, and did not mind
the knife. The woman was compelled
to use the weapon in her defense.
and the consequence was that Clark was
cut very badly. Three gashes now adorn
his person as the result of his brutal
treatment towards his wife.
Clark and his wife had parted several
times and he was j. i now trying to make
up matters. The woman declares that
last nights affair will now forever sep
arate them. Detective Morgan arrested
the belligerent husband, and the wife
also, and locked them up at the barracks.

Definite information was obtained TO-
day that the big steel making project
of the Rockeieller-Merritt syndicate
has been declared off for the pres
ent on account OF the pending
Wilson bill and the existing
depression OF business. A test was
made of the Adams process for produc-

and the big capitalists were satisfied
with the results SO far as obtained. so
we'll satisfied, in fact, they have decided
TO adopt the process in a mill in Cleve-
land. where the band iron is made with
which the Standard Oil Company hoops
its barrels.
The original arrangement was to
make a test at the Cleveland plant aud
if satisfactory the syndicate would erect
a plant at Que OF the Lake Erie ports
and buy the process outright.
The syndicate proposes to await the
passage of whatever legislation Con-
gress can agree upon and the re-adjust-
ment OF wages and conditions under
such legislation before IL will make any
