TION WARD.
Walter Modzeliwsky Becomes Vic
lent and Attacks the Children
Of His Benefactress.

Walter Modzeiiwsky, a carpenter, who
lives at No. 1532 Wash street, and who is

Then he would come TO Mrs. behring's home
and she would give him a meal. Yesterday
he became violent and began to throw the
chairs at the Deering children. and Mrs.
Deering caused him to be taken away.
Modzeliwsky'S family lives in the far
northern part OF the Province of Poland.
In the days OF King John Sobieski, when
the Polish Kingdom was finally dis.nte-
grated. the Modzeliwskys were among the
noble families who stood at the side Of the
hero King. For this reason IT is impossible
for the sons Of the family to prosper in
their own country. and Waiter being a
younger son. left his fathers home at the
conclusion OF his university career, and
came TO America.
In Philadelphia he met Mrs Deering. with
whose family he had been acquainted in
Poland.

came with them. But instead of improving
under hard work he became worse and
about a year ago he broke down altogether
Since then he has been more or less men,
