SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Wifo Beater Arrested for Deserting Ills
Wife and Fomlly-Councilmen Indig
nant About the anonymous Letter.
Thomas Collins, of the Twentieth
ward, was arrested yesterday at the
instance of his wife on the charge of
desertion and abusing her and he was
brought before Alderman C. C. Dono
van, of the Twelfth word, where he
entered bail for his abearance at the
next term of court. Mrs. Collins com
plained that her husband had treated
her very brutally and neglects to pro
vide for herself or their family, making
their existence a miserable one.
A few days ago he drove her out of
the house because she spoke to him
about the Inhumanity of his conduct.
She was compelled to return for the
sake of the children. Collins thereupon
deserted the house and hns since re
fused to do anything for her or the chil
dren. The principal complaint she has
against him la that lie la too lazy to
work.
Council men Aro Very Indignant.
At tlie'meetlng Inst week of the South
Side board of trade. Secretary M. J.
O'Toole had In his possession an an
onymous letter sent In by one signing
himself "An Interested Cltlien," the
contents of the epistle being an uncom
plimentary allusion to the methods of
expending the ward appropriations for
street repairs as that work Is at pres
ent done under the supervision of the
councilman of the respective wards, and
alleging that the money used Is no bet
ter than wasted by the public servants.
Councilman P. J. Hlckey. of the Nine
teenth ward, accuses Mr. Maloney, of
the board, as the writer of the anony
mous missive and Invites him or any
other person concerned to Inspect the
pay roll of the ward nnd see whether or
not It la stuffed, presuming that the
persomhas kept trade of the men em
ployed on the Btreet and knows who
worked and who didn't. Councilman
Hattie, of the Twentieth, and In fact
all of the South Side councllmen, feel
more or less exercised about the letter.
They believe that no man who under
taken to criticise them should do so from
behind a screen, let him come out In the
open, ' ;
T Opon lilrch Street.
In the report of the council meetings
on another page will be found 0s refer
ence to the Introduction of an ordinance
providing for the openlngof Birch street
from Cedar to South Washington ave
nue. That this work will be accom
plished without any unnecessary delay
Is the earnest wish of the people of the
South Side. At present the only street
between the Cedar avenue bridge and
Elm street that Is opened for traffic be
tween Cedar and South Washington
avenues, is Maple street.

L Every family has Its hereditary traits,
and that of the Colborns, who hays their
hunting grounds "up 'mongtt the bills
cf Somerset," thl3 state,- and of which
our own townsman, A. J. Colborn,. Jr.,
la an eloquent representative, seems to
be oratory.
, Tonight the "Bald Eagle of the Alle
ghenles," A. J. Colborn, of this city,
speaks at the New England banquet at
the Terrace; his brother, O. J. Colborn,
speaks at a similar event In Pittsburg,
and his father, A. J. Colborn, sr., ad
dresses a Forefathers' Day celebration
In his native town, Somerset. It is a
singular coincidence and one that the
family will feel pardonably proud of.

William Atkins Is yet in the station

authorities In Brooklyn, where It will
be remembered he Is alleged to have
offended the laws by fraudulently using
the United States malls.
There Is a question as to whether or
not Atkins la really wanted in Brook

picked up here on the information fur
nished the local police by a faithless
friend to whom he had confided his Iden
tity and misfortunes and that the police
are holding him until they can learn if
the Brooklyn authorities have any need
of him.

SPORTING CHIT CHAT.
Concerning the TItus-Cabanne-Mur
phy suspension case, Frederick Gerlach,
the Chicago member of the racing
board, says: "I feel sure, from the evi
dence presented, that no just man could
have made any other decision than the
one arrived at. The sentence Imposed
doubtless seems a heavy one.but It must
be borne In mind that cycle racing must
be kept pure, and that a hundred in
stances of the kind might have occurred
before we were able to get the proof in
one. The severity of the sentence will
serve as a warning to others as to what
they may expect if they attempt any
similar actions. Of course, It may be
possible that the men are not guilty,
but we had nothing but the evidence
submitted on which to decide. If Cab
anne has been unjustly treated, his best
plan Is not to begin action, but to get
together the evidence proving his Inno
cence and to submit it to the National
Assembly. This h has not done. I do
not think any one cares to see the men
unduly punished, but an example was
necessary."
