NOT AN OLD MANS DARLING.
Poor Mary Page Brutality Beaten by Her
Aged Husband.

Aged Husband
The charge OF assault preferred against
James N. Page, a veteran of two wars. who
lives near the jail, by his wife. Mary Page,
was changed in the police court yesterday
to assault to kill. and the case continued in
definitely. owing to the wife's serious in
juries.
The woman, who is only twenty-eight
years of age, while her husband is seventy
SIX. was terribly beaten by him. II ap-
pears that on Friday night the old pen
siOner, who is insanely jealous, came home
very drunk, and proceeded to chop his
young wife about the head and face
with hatchet. He-beat her so badly that
both eyes were swollen and closed so that
she could not see.
On Saturday night he came home again
under the influence OfLquor. His wife was
in bed, suffering from the effects OF her
wounds.
Come here he commanded.
The poor woman, being blinded by his
ill-treatment, was trying to grope her way
to him as best she could Not moving fast
enough to suit him, he seized the hatchet
and knocked her down. Then, as she tried
to struggle to her feet, he beat her almost
into insensibiIity with club.
NeighboTs sent for Policeman Gordon, OF
the Fifth precinct, who arrested the old
brute. Dr. Davidson, of Providence Hos
pital, said that it required over one hour
to sew up the poor woman's many wounds.
Page is held in Jail for trial The young
wife is still in a serious condition.

ToLRAN CAN'T GET OUT.
He Must Pay Mrs. TOIman the AIimony
Overdue or Stay in Jail.


Overdue or Stay in Jail
Judge McComas yesterday denied the ap-
plication Of George R. Tolman, the archi-
tect, formerly in the Treasury Department,
for a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Tolman has been in Jail since Febru-
airy 1e for contempt of court in failing to
pay $500 aIimony due his wife in divorce
proceedings instituted in 1892
Mr.. TOlman was then receiving $3.50 q
month, but instead of paying $50 a month
fixed as almOny, took the question whether
that was not excessive TO the court of ap-
peals. The case was decided against him
there and the amount due from him rapidly
increased. When ordered to pay $500
month ago he said he could not, but was
willing to provide home for his wife, but
she would not come to him. She replied
that she was afraid to live with him.
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, arguing for the writ
of habeas corpus yesterday, said his client
had practically been sent TO prison for life
Judge o. E. Barnett replied briefly that
Judge Hagner had found him able to make
the payment required, and there was no
ground for interference by habeas corpus
proceedings.
