WHIPPED WIFE BEATER.

Justice of the Peace R. c. Motiska of Duryea descended from his bench, stripped off his coat and thoroughly thrashed a wife beater, last night.
 The man bled profusely and was badly bruised and cut before he gave in and begged forgiveness. The man whipped was John Pesontini, charged with beating his wife and threatening to kill her.
 The squire was expressing his opin- ion of such man when Pesontini called him a name.
 Already angered by the Wife's pitiful story, this was too much for the squire and, with foreible exclamation, he jumped from his bench, threw off his coat, and, pushing aside his constables, went for the prisoner in Terry Me Governs best. style.
 The prisoner was no easy mark at that, and for a couple of minutes the affair was exceedingly lively. The squire's rage gave him extra strength, and n couple of hard punches on Pe- sontini's nose took some of the fight out of him. From that moment the game was in the squire's hands, and he gave the fellow trouncing that he will remember.
 Finally Pesontini dropped to the floor and cried, "Enoughw whereupon the squire sent him to jail on the charges of wife beating. threats to kill and contempt of court.
 The squire was somewhat winded after his exertions, but managed to pronounce sentence in Judicial man. ner.
 Before leaving for jail Pesontini asked forgiveness, and the squire granted 1t.
 The mans wife declared 1t did her heart good to see her husband get a dose of his own medicine.-W Wilkes barre Dispatch.

Death of We'll Known Derby Man
 Father of Dr Dwyer.


 The Derby News of yesterday morn ing prints the following death notice of man we'll known in this city:
 Michael Dwyer breathed his last at 1O:30 o'clock last night. The end came quietly and. surrounded by his fam fly, his spirit passed away into the great beyond.
 MT Dwyer never until two weeks ago knew what it was to be ill, and then an attack of Bright's disease de- veloped. It at once became serious in it's aspect and even his rugged consti- tuition was unable to withstand the iIi- roads of the malady. His condition became more critical as the days passed by and despite the best medical skill and the care of a loving family, he sank lower until his death was hourly expected.
 Several days ago the members of his family who live out of town were notified and all of the family were present when the end came.
 Michael Dwycr was the best known Irish-American resident in this city, and his death is a loss to the whole community. Porn in Limerick, Ire 1 land, in 1887, he came to America in | lCOO. COIltluS OlIcOt IO 1AiioO1i<t, " I'M V he lived ever since, with the eAcep- ton of one year spent in Westport. Ansonia was in its infancy when MT Dwyer settled here and he therefore witnessed and assisted in it's growth | to a city. Ten years after coming here he engaged in the liquor business. buying his present place at auction. and has continued the same ever since. 1 His place of business was noted for | it's quietness and good order and he always held the respect and regard of the community. He amassed coll I'siderable property, much of 1t being 1 located on Main street, and he was one of the largest real estate owners in the city.
 In politics MT Dwyer was a demo- crat of the old school and he honored both the party and himself in accept | ing and serving in many minor offices. He was for three or four years q men1- Der of the board of burgesses of the old borough: had served on the grand jury many years and for years. served on the board of assessors, of which he was a member at the time of luis death. He was a prominent meinber l of the board of trade, of which he was | a director, and also served on the com mittee on city hall.
 He was q good citizen in every sense of the word, his strict integrity and | honesty being well known. Mir DwyeI' was married. He leaves a widow and l family to mourn his loss. His chil- dren are: >Dr r. J. Dwyer of Water bury, Dr John c. Dwyer, who Is en- gagged in hospital practice at Balti., more; Frank, who is studying at Brown university; Edward, Margaret, Elsie and Josephine, all of whom live at home.

GROUND HOGS PREDICTION
STARTS In WITH A VENGEANCE

The grounding appeared as usual
on Saturday, spied his shadow and pre-
dicted, byreturning TO his subterranean
lair, six more weeks OF Winter, Yes
terday the veriication of his prophecy
started IN with a vengeance.
Beginning shortly after o'clock
with q ncecy preliminary, the storm
soon developed all the symptoms of a
February blizzard. Afforded good
groundwork by the remnants OF last
weeks fall. the snow rapidly covered
the street with its white mantle, and
nearly two inches had fallen in five
hours.
BY 10 o'clock, however, the tompera-
ure increased slightly, and a cold rain
set in to make things miserable for
those who of necessity were outdoors.
In an hour the dry. crisp SNOW was con-
verted into a sea of slush, through
which pedestrians fOundered and
stumbled and, occasionally, fell.
Traffic was not seriously handicap
PED on either steam or electric rail
ways
The weather forecasters said last
night that the atmospheric conditions
did not favor a storm of any length
and that to-day would probably see the
end Of the snow But the groundhCg's

DIR. KING EULOCIZES TIE
LATE QUEEN VICTORIA

In Grace M. E. Church last evening
the Rev. William Writ King preached
an interesting sermon on the dead
queen OF England. The pulpit Of the
church was draped with the British
flag IN honor OF the late Victoria.
DR. King said IN part;
"The American people stand with
the English people in sorrow by the
grave Of their dead queen. We love
England, and well we should, for she
is our mother. We sprang from her
lolns. We are indebted to her for
many Of our best things. We have
common interests. We have the same
religion, and the same laws, and a COM
mon language and literature. SO
closely and vitality are we related that
anything that hurts England hurts
America, and anything that disatrous-
ly or unfavorably affects us affects her
In the same way. OF course we do not
endorse all OF England's methods OF
defend all OF her history. y.-To say that
we love England does not imply this.
She has made many serious mistakes,
but we ought not to be too severe in
our criticism Of these. for II was one
OF her mistakes that led TO our national
independence
