afternoon of the Fourth, by Jumping
from a window, was located In Astoria,
and as soon as he was apprised of his
wife's misfortune, started for this city,
arriving here last evening. Mr. Hag
galilon was very much surprised at the
strange actions of his wife, for when he
reft home, only a short time ago, there
was no breach In the pleasant relations
which had always existed between them,
and he Is at a loss to account for what
has transpired.
"I went to Astoria to engage at fish
ing." said he, "and had no thought of
such dire disaster being In store. I had
made such arrangemecnts for the care of
my family as circumstances would per
mit of, and I know of nothing that could
have weighed on my wife's mind to such
an extent as to drive her to commit the
rash act that she did."
Mr. Haggalilon is very attentive to his
wife, who Is at the hospital, and whose
condition today shows no Improvement.
She is Quiet, but la apparently suffering
a great deal.
The two little children are being, well
cared for by friends on the East Sldjj,
and the baby, whose life was also im
periled by the frenzied action of its
mother, shows no sign of injury of a se
rious nature.
