Tried to Throw a Coal Oil Lamp at
 Her.
Claims He Is Related to the Assassin of Mayor Harri-
 son of Chicago.
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
Tho Unfortunate Woman Bruised About the Face and the
 Body.

Mrs. Rose Prendergast, aged 9 years, living at l2l7 Mission street. was brutally assaulted by her husband last night. Ac- cording to her story her husband returned home in an intoxicated condition and proceeded to abuse her. When she eH- postulated with him he struck her in the face, knocking her down. While she lay prostrate on the floor Prendergast, she alleges, repeatedly struck her, bruising her left eye and cutting her lip.
 Her screams attracted the attention Of the landlady of the house. who summoned Police Officer Campbell. Before the lat ter reached the place PrendergaSt picked up coal oil lamp and vainly endeaVored to brain his unfortunate wife. Realizing that he intended to seriously inJure her, the brave woman, after short struggle, took the lamp from him. She then at tempted to leave the room when her bru- ta husband seized her and endeaVored to get possession of the lamp.
 Knowing that he intended to do me up" remarked the abused woman, T threw the lamp at him, hoping to deter hlm from further inJuring me. It struck him in the head, cutting a gash rom which considerable blood flowed. At thls juncture the policemen entered the room ana placed my husband under arrest.
 II married Prendergast when l was fortunate woman. Four children were born to us, but happily for them they are all dead. For some time past my nus band, who supported us by peddling dry goods has been drinking heavily, ire 0uently remaining away from home SeV- eral nights at time. He has repeatedly threatened to kill me and then commit suicide A short time ago he broke my jaw and 1 left him. He pleaded so hard for me to return to him that l forgaVe him and went to live with hlm again.
 Mrs. PrendergaSt says that her nus hand told her that he was related to the man who assassinated Mayor Harrison of
 During one of his drunken spells" tearfully remarked the injured woman, "he informed me that his father had died in an insane asylum in Chicago and that the murderer of Mayor Harrison was his cousin. He also told me that his entire family had screw loose, as he eX- the same way. I became alarmed over the assertion, but it was not until he broke my jaw that I concluded he was mentally Ceranged. At that time he acted like an Insane person, and 1 left him, as 1 feared that he would kill me
 Mrs. PrendergaSt, in corroboration of her story of the brutal treatment accorded her by her husband, exhibited a bruise over the eye and lacerated wound on the lip. After her husband was locked up in the City Prison on charges of drunkenness and battery she was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where her Surgeon Tormey. Captain Spillane intends to see that Prendergast receives the se- verest sentence that the law allows. He will appear against him to-day and per sonally conduct the prosecution of his case.

Pre-emption Settlers Must Vacate Railroad Lands
 Down South.
Decision of the Circuit Court Reversed in Favor of the
 $. P. R. R. Company.
Settlers Who Have Received U United States Patents Hold Them Only
 in Trust for the Road.

The United States Circuit Court of Alp peaIs yesterday reversed the decree or the Circuit Court in favor of the defen- dants in the case of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company vs. Otto Groeck and C. s. Merrill Jr. Judge Gilbert read the opinion.
 It recites that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company brought suit against the appellees to obtain a decree that the appellees hold in trust patent which Otto Groeck received from the United States to a certain tract of land, which, it is contended, was land granted by the United States to the railroad company by the act of date July 2. 1866.
 The decision Is to the effect that the land in controversy was, at the time or the entry of Groeck, and at the time when he took steps to acquire title there- to, withdrawn from settlement by the act of the Secretary of the Interior
 After such lands have been set aside by Congressional act, no authority Is vested in the Secretary of the Interior or in any officer of the Land Department to restore them or opeG them to settlement. Nor Is any right conferred upon pre- emption settler to take advantage Of such default of the grantee.
 1t follows from the rulings of the Su- preme Court that the plea of laches can not avail the appellees The laches IS said to consist in the long delay of the raAiroad company in constructing the road and selecting the indemnity DonoS. The Court of Appeals was unable to see how that delay has conferred rights upon the" the pre-emption rec settler or how t now af- lords him ground to impute inequity to the company. The company owed no duty to any intended settler upon the public domain The United States did not oner this land to Groeck, nor did it invite his occupancy or entry. He was a tres passer on the premises. His pre-emption entry was not only void, but 1t was un- lawful.
 The appellant and Groeck were, not in the attitude of persons to whom the land In controversy was offered on equal terms, giving to the first entryman the prior right It was offered only to the
 The case was remanded to the Circuit Court for further proceedings consistent with the decision.
 The principle involved in this case GOV CTS about fifteen million acres along the line of the road in California, Ar1zona and New Mexico.
