WIFE BEATER AT CHARLESTOWN.

Way-fIusband Incarcerated and Wife and
Five Children 60 to the County Farm.
The quiet village of Cbarlestown had a
sensation of its own Thursday of particu.
larly sad and distressing character. On
complaint of his wife, Alex. Benware was
arraigned before justice in Charlestowr
charged with assault, and the respondent
was bound over for trial in the county
court. In default OF bail he was lodged in
the Newport Jail.
The woman's story, as reported, showed
rather infelcitous family life. The Ben
wares lived in Charlestown on the road
leading to Acworth. 1t seems that the
husband is OF quarrelsome and revengeful
nature and at times addicted to the use OF
Intoxicating liquors. The wife's testi-
mony as reported was to the effect that on
Wednesday her husband brutally assaulted
her, using broken cup for weapon
With this ugly implement he nearly sew
cred finger from one hand; he then pro-
ceeded to knock her down and otherwise
maltreat her inficiing severe injuries about
the face and head.
Mrs. Benware, a hard working, well
meaning woman, with family of five chill
dren, the youngest an infant in arms, was
left in very destitute circums' ances, and
was yesterday taken to the county farm at
Newport by the Charlestown authorities.

were too much discouraged to restore
their groves, but those that were not,
and are now pushing their groves, will
reap large profits, as there will never
be an overproduetion, and prices will
necessarily rule high. Pineapple
growing is paying handsomely, and
promises we'll for the future. The peo-

Their Scheme Failed.

Fridays issue of the Albany Herald
contained an account of two small bows
who endeavored to run away from
home the day before. The item read
As follows:
Two naughty small boys had laid
their plans yesterday to run away
from home. One of them took his
books from school and sold them, thus
creating fund with which they ex-
pected to go out into the world. The
boys had remained away from home
all day and expected to leave on the
brakebeam OH the train at night, but
Chief of Police Lee hunted them up
ond turned them over to their anxious
parents. The defeat of their plans was
almost as ignominious as that Of two
other boys of Albany, who once re.
solved to run away and become pirates
bold. They started out en- foot for
Portland, but only got as far as Jeffer-
son, where the legend on the railroad
bridge, "No persons allowed to walk
across this bridget scared them out
and they returned home, foreswore
their evil intentions and became good
boys.
