Magistrate for abusing
His Better Half

l4ige Patton was arranged before
Esquire kyker, Monday morning on
the charge Of having assaulted his wife
with cluh or a weapon of some sort,
and submitted and paid fine.
1t was neighbor gossip, Sunday that
Mrs. Patton had been badly beaten by
her husband; that she had received a
scalp wound and that portion of her
hair was matted to piece of stove
wood, with which it was claimed she
had been hit. It was also asserted
thai there were other bruises about
her body, aud Observation-Disclosures
was felt among the neighbors.
On Monday morning Constable
Blazer arrested Patton, on warrant
sworn out by Constable Taylor. Mrs.
Patton refused 10 prosecute and sent
word to the magistrate that she did
not desire to have her husband punish
ed for the ofIense.
Before Squire kyker, Patton stated
that he had whipped his wife because
she had not kept the children in the
house, Saturday night as he had told
her too, and he claimed that he had
not used anything but small stick.

1.-THE facts as TO the agreement on

"rhe Shelby delegation was anxious
10 defeat Ex-Governor Patterson and
Comptroller Dibrell and to break up
the ubiquitous back tax laws. For that
reasen they joined the fusion forces in
the legislature with The agreement that
Senator Newt White should be made

the positive assurance that no liquor

The award Of slO2 $40 given by the board
% assessors several years ago to John L.
Mott for damages to his Harlem property
resulting from a change of grade in the
construction OF the new Third avenue
bridge was annulled by the Appellate d.
vision yesterday The case was sent back
to the board for further consideration
The opinion accompanying the order says:
"Mr. Mott claimed that the award was
Inadequate, and we are Of the opinion
that he is right, not only because OF the
enormous discrepancy between the ex-
perts for both sides but because we are
convinced the assessors have proceeded
upon a wrong theory"
The construction of the Third avenue
bridge over the Harlem River caused
much films in for long and higher APP
proaches, for which Mr.. Mott claimed
damages. His experts said the damage
was between $4,000 and $4,000. while the
city experts said the damages were be-
