THREW TUMsLER AT WIFE.
Brown Street Startled by Woman Running
Down Street Face Covered With Blood.

The people residing on Brown street
were much alarmed yesterday afternoon
about 5.45 o'clock when woman about
sixty years old who lives at No. A rushed
out onto the sidewalk with a stick In her
hand. an ugly wound in her head and
the blood running down her face in
streams. She rushed up to Mr.. John
Hamilton who was passing the house and
begged him to protect her from ''that
man." Mr.. Hamilton could not see any
man. but in moment man about forty
years old opened the door of No. A and
came out on to the street.
What have you been doing to this
woman?" demanded Mr.. Hamilton.
The man edged out into the street and
started on run for Oxford street around
the corner of which he hurried out Of
sight. Street Commissioner Smith OF
Deering was driving down Brown street
at the time and was told to chase the mar
and he whipped up his horse and followed
him rs quickly as possible. In the mean
time the woman became faint and some
of the neighbors who hurried to the spo
carried her into her house and attended tt
her wounds.
| As the woman told the story to thu
neighbors her husbands name is Har
mon, and sign on his house designated
| him as DR.. Harmon. The woman il
about sixty years old and the Doctor il
about forty. Until recently DR.. and Mrs.
Harmon lived at Mechanic Falls where
some five or six years ago, Mrs. Harmon
married the doctor. Some three years
ago DR.. Harmon, so his wife said. had
the grip and since then has not been right
at times. Yesterday be had been drinking
little and when he came homo he got
into an argument with his wife and
threw heavy tumbler at her. The
Doctors aim was good and he struck the
woman with the heavy tumbler just above
the right eye. Mrs. Harmon ran out into
the street and called for help and the
doctor ran away.
The police arrested DR.. Harmon last
night and locked him up in the police
station, where he will remain until this
morning, when he will have chance to
tell his story to Judge Robinson.

into n strife which means nothing moro

are exceedingly bright. especially those on the
boats which traverse the Northern Canal, which
starts from above Syracuse up through parts
Of Maine and Canada. Their parents are mostly
Irish and French Canadians. and they have the
