BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Court Martin Hellmann, A. O. F. of A., will pay & fraternal visit to Court Welch of Wateryille next Tuesday night.
 Next year residents of this section will ask the road board tg order Bank street macadamized from the New Eng land railroad crossing to a point just west of the Hellmann Brewing oompany's plant.
 James Kenevap of New York who is visiting John J. McAulif of the New Eng land hotel was surprised last night by the members of the Ohowder club and treated to reception such as it would be difficult to arrange in the great city of New York. Pfesident Eugene Rowley prepared chowder which exceeded in it's delicious flavorings anything of the kind ever gotten up by the former president. E. A. Black we'll. Songs. toasts and addresses were the order of exercises. At the close Pres- ident Rowley was made the recipient of a handsomely engraved turtle shell, John J, McAuliff making the presentation speech. A communication was received signed by J. A. Hynes and William Shepard to be forwarded to ex-President Blackwell of Brooklyn, New York, accompanied by an engraved turtle shell bearing the date of the organization of the club and the best wishes of it's members.
 A large audience collected on Bank street last evening to witness the festivi- ties attending the grand ball given by D. J. Mahaney in Lis new block beside the Brooklyn hotel. Shortly after o'clock Hellmann's Advance drum corps appeared in front of the building and discoursed several lively airs, concluding with Hail to the Chief" Then MT Mahaney ap- peared on the balcony and delivered the greatest oratorical effort ever heard in that section of the town, not excepting the great p olitical speech of Maurice F. Holo- han, delivered there a few years ago. He welcomed the vast assemblage of friends to the evenings entertainment and invited all to step inside and join in the frivolities of the hour. Inside the artistic decora- tions were a complete triumph. flags, streamers, banneretts and large number of electric lights rendering the place one of the most delightful scenes ever wit messed at a local banquet. The costumes of some of the ladies were superb and the gentlemen, all in full dress, vied with each other to see which should create the most favorable impression among the fair sex. The host and hls daughter. Miss Nora Mahaney, led the march, to the enchaDt- ing strains of Cluney's orchestra and the prompting was done in a most acceptable manner by Prof Isaac Weiner. Besides dancing there were songs, recitations and an appetizing menu was pArtaken of with relish by all. It was originally intended that Mir Weiner should lead the march, but owing to a dispute among the girls as to which should act as his partner, Mir Weiner concluded. and perhaps wisely, too, that instead of leading the grand pro- cession, he would do the prompting and in this way avoid creating a bad feel ing among the young women whom he ex- poets to patronize him when he starts his famous ladies and gents furnishing house in the new building.

 Many Chinese converts were butchered when the American mission outside Foo chow was attacked and the chapel and school wrecked by an infuriated mob.
 The dispatch adds that the Chinese off, oials are jubilant at the defeat of the of forts of the American and British consuls to obtain an open inquiry into the massa- cres. It is also said that the delay is giv- ing the Chinese time to prepare a defense for the prisoners.

Inclined to Discredlt the Report.


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-It is said hero that kucheng is meant wherever Cheng-tu is used in the London dispatch, as Cheng- tu is the scene of the June riots and is 1, 100 miles from Foochow. Naval off cials, though without information them. selves, are inclined to discredit the infor- nation in the dispatch. Acting Secreta- " McAdoo said it was observed that dis patches of this character came by way of London, while another high naval officer said that there was an evident intention on the part of Great Britain in the whole Kucheng affair to get the United States government to pull chestnuts out of the fire, and pointed to the fact that there does not seem to be any anxiety on the part of Great Britain to land troops or to be in undue haste to force an explanation.
 The navy department thought that if Commander Newell had gone on any such mission the department would have been notified. It was also said that marines are scarcely ever landed at the request of n consul especially when there is a min- ister in the country. However, should there be trouble of the kind indicated, the United States has strong force in Asiatic waters. We have seven ships there, some of them good cruisers, our fleet including the Baltimore (fiagship), Charleston, De- troit, Yorktown, Machias, Monocacy and Concord. The last named four are not very formidable, though good fighting ships. Tho new cruiser Olympia will leave for the Asiatic station in very short time, as she Is now being coaled at San EranCiScO

View of the Chinese Legation.

The presumption among the officials at the Chinese legation is that the protection to tho commission referred to is from mob violence The officials, however, express the opinion that ample protection will be afforded by the local authorities without the intervention of assistance from other governments. Besides it is not believed at tho legation that the central govern ment at Picking will permit the landing of marines at tho place where the investi- gation is to be conducted. There is, how ever, no news at the legation in regard to the statements in the dispatch, and, in fact, there has been no information re- ccived verifying the report of the appoint ment of u commission of investigation.

HE BEAT HIS WIFE.

News was brought to the city
yesterday that ex-Jailer Jim Will
liams, had shot and killed his wife,
Marshal Crenshaw started out to
the Williams home, which is stu
ated some two miles out, in what is
known as the suburbs of College
Hill. When in a half or three
quarters of a mile of the place, he
was surprised to see Mrs. Williams
in the road, leading one OF her
small children, Her face was
beaten up badly and she told the
marshal that she was beaten all
over the body, and was as sore as a
boil.
Mr.. Crenshaw has no jurisdiction
outside of the city limits, and he
returned to the to the city, when
he learned that no murder had been
committed, to report the occurrence
to the constable,
Constable Vinson was out of the
city and the matter rested.
The reporter met Constable Vim
son this morning, and asked him
about the matter, and he said he
had only heard rumors of the affair
and that no papers had been put in
his hand to be served on the ex-
jailer,
Mr.. Williams was on the street
this morning, and we judge that
his case will be left for the grand
jury to investigate,
Under no circumstances should
man beat his wife, as it is an in
human act. If a man can not get
along with his wife at all, there
should be a separation and divorce.

AFTER THE TIGER.
The Local Option Cases Opened up
Today Before Judge Smither.

Judge Smither opened his court
at 10 o'clock this morning and
called the cases against the Parlor
Drug Store proprietors, and also
the clerk, Zan Williams Scott &
Jones represented the defendants
and filed an application from the
three defendants asking for a
change of venue to the court of
ESQ. L. Winham, on the ground
that they believed Judge Smither
was preiudiced against them, The
application was sustained and
Judge Smither turned the cases
over to Judge Winham.
The next case called was against
j, W, Hearon. Mr., Joe Cook, his
attorney, filed motion to have it
thrown out of court, because of it
being improperly brought, and read
law showing that the prosecuting
attorney, had no power to file in
formation in cases of this kind but
that the information must be filed
by some reputable citizen,
The prosecuting attorney finally
got the floor and read law in the
same book showing that he did
have the power to file the informd
tion. Arguments ON both sides
we're had several times and the
same ground gone over with on
each occasion,
Judge Smither held that informa-
tion was properly filed and that the
prosecuting attorney had the right
to file information in such cases
Mr., Joe Cook then produced a
demurrer as also did Mr. Richard
Arnold who is employed in the cases
OF Dick Mitchell and Ike Evans.
The demurrer sets out that more
than one charge has been alleged
against their clients, inasmuch as
they are charged with having sold
and we're interested in the sale of
one quart of alcohol vinous, malt,
stimulous, fermented and intoXi-
eating liquors. They argued quite
a lengthy time on this proposition
and read law on the subject,
The prosecuting attorney met
their arguments with literature
taken from the Supreme Court on
such cases.
The Justice overruled the demur-
rer and the case went to trial at
2 p, m.
