Serious Fire in Charleston.

Charleston, Oct. 30.-Two alarms
sounded to-day for fire in the estab-
lishment of Jacobs Dry Goods COM
pany, on upper King street.
The fire was not discovered until it
had made good headway and being
in a frame building with others of a
like construction adjoining, Chief
Behrens rang the box for additional
assistance upon reaching the scene.
The fire was confined to original To-
cation. Jacobs claims to have a
stock of $4,000, with $1,000 insur-
ance
The Jacobs family occupied the
second story and Mrs. Jacobs was
partly overcome by smoke before the
firemen got the family out.
While the firemen were at work on
the fire an alarm was turned in for
another blaze a few blocks away,
which added to the labors of the de-
partment.

May Husband be a Brute?

Washington, Oct. 27.-If husband
beats his wife till she is bruised and
bleeding, even crippled for life,
should she be allowed to sue him for
damages or would such violate the
sanctity of the home. Such a ques-
ton was laid to-day before the su-
preme court of the United States for
its decision.
Jessie E. Thompson, wife of Chas.
N. Thompson, both of them living in
the District of Columbia, sued her
husband for $4,000 damages for
seven alleged assaults upon her. The
nature of the alleged assaults and in
juries were never brought out in open
court, because before the suit came to
trial the court had given judgment in
favor of the accused, on the plea that
at the time of the alleged assault the
parties were husband and wife.
It is probably the first time that
the supreme court has had to pass di-
rectly on such case.
