How TO Protect Seeds.

All seeds that rats. mice or birds
esteem can be effectually protected
by coating them with red lead.
Place the seed in a vessel consid-
erably larger than is needed to con-
tain it. add to it few drops OF par
afiin or water, just enough tnot more)
to moisten every seed. and stir it
well. then add a small quantity of red
lead and stir again until each seed is
thoroughly coated and separate. Yer
min will sometimes attack seeds thus
treeted. but disguised with the result
soon pass on to other fare.-The Gar
den.

George Pinner. a we'll known young
white man. while under the influence
of whiskey early yesterday afternoon
violently assaulted and injured his
wife and II Is believed that he would
have killed her with a pistol which
he was attempting 10 put against her
breast II her screams had not been
heard and immediate assistance given.
The occurrence which was OF sen
sat!onal nature. took place shortly
after noon yesterday at he Bonitz hotel
OH Market street where the couple had
a room. The first intimation that
there was any trouble between q q two
was when the screams OF = woman
were heard and Mr. J. II w. Bonitz.
proprietor OF the establishment rush
ed from the ONCE where he was at
work to the floor above and then into
the room from whence came the cries
end there he found Pinner beating his
wife and pointing a pistol at her. Mr..
Bonitz disarmed the drunken man
and ran down stairs and told his son.
r. w. Bonitz Esq. TO summon n po-
lice officer which ha did at once. re-
turning Immediately to the room oc-
cupied by the Primers. There IL was
found that he drunked man had re-
and that he had her down on the
bed raining hard blows all over her
head. He was dragged by force from
the terribly suffering woman ana
turned over to Police Officers Charles
Jones and Mark Jones, by whom he
was taken to the police station wha=~
the charge Of being drunk and the
charge Of assault with deadly weap-
on were lodged against him.
The woman was given attention by
ladies in the house anu II was found
that her face was in n terrible con
dition as a result of The cruel beating
she had received. She wa4late- taken
to the police station but durlrg the
afternoon was parond in custody OF
her father 20 appear as a witness in
the mayors court today.
The trouble between the two is be-
lieved to have resulted from n disagree
r;ent that has been SHADING for some
time. Several weeks ago the young
woman was carried 10 the mayors Of
fee by a policeman and there she re-
ported that she had been deserted by
her husband. The mayor after con-
siGering the matter decided TO have
her return TO her parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Bowen on Masonboro Sound and she
promised to remain with them. It
seems that since that time Pinner has
been seeking a reconciliation and that
he induced the girl 10 leave her pa
rents and return TO him on WeInes-
day. They reached the city after dark
and applied at the Bonitz hotel for n
room. which was given them by the
night clerk. Nothing further was
beard Of the couple until the screams
which attracted outside attention re-
vealed the brutal treatment that had
been given the young woman.
The father OF Mrs. PInner arrived
yesterday afternoon from Mas nboro
Sound and she was given over in his
charge for the night The young wom-
an is only lG years OF age. The case
will be tried before Mayor Springer
today.
