Power to Restore Peace and Harmony.
A case where the mother-in.law acted
in the role Of paciilCator and did all in her
power TO restore harmony between the
son-in-law and her daughter. came to light
in municipal court on Monday and as
result of this disclosure the traducers of
lnother.in-laws will have 10 take a back
seat in the future. 1t was shown that the
mother.in-law in this case had done all in

Charles l.. Brewer and his wife have
been living together for about two years.
Their place of abode Il on Maryland
avenue, in the Eleventh ward. They have
not lived happily Tor the past l. months,
and frequent quurrcls have been the result
of the illadvIscd honeymoon. Brewer
who is willing to Wort; when he can get
something TO do, is addicted to the use OF
Intoxicating liquors, and as the old saying
il, "When wine is in wit Is out" While
in this condition he seldom loses an oppnr-
tunity to abuse his family. His wife has
been compelled to leave him several times
on this account. but usually her mother
prevailed upon her to 90 back to her htls-
band. and try to induce him to do better.
In this she was unsuccessful.
On Saturday Brewer returned to his
| home drunk as usual and not finding his
| wife, lie went straight TO his mother-in-
| laws, TO ascertain the cause of her disap.
pearance. When Mrs. Wiyel opened the
| door. her son,n-law began TRADE of
abuse which carried with II threats of
bodily harm and caused the woman 10
shrink from him ~ terror. She closed
and bottled the lodH but Brewer was not
to be subdued SO easily, and SO he Kicked
the door down.
Mrs. Wivel, her daughter and n neighbor,
| who was in the house ut the time, were
driven from the domicile and ran to an
adjoining house. Brewer pursued them
and sei2ing his wife. was about to strike
her when the mother-iu.law appeared
upon The scene and babe him desist lie
then turned upon the mother-in-law ant
pursued hor back to the house. She fast
ened the door again, but Brewer burst il
down and then the woman hit him on the
back with a poker, Brewer then caugh
her and was beating her with his first
when Mr. Massey, u nelgnbor. came aloDt
and cOOlly knocked Brewer down. The
blow stunned him for u moment, and dur
ing the cessation Of hostilities the mother
in-law escaped. Mrs. Wivei then swore on
a warrant for Brewers arrest.
She did not appear anxious to prosecute
the case on Monday and told Judge Bal
she did not care to see her son-in-law go I,
Jail. She was content to have the cas-
disposed of with u fine, and S25 was tn
assessment levied by Judge Ball.
