Newcastle, Pa., December 20. William Alexander, and old man living at Eastbrook with his family, became involved in a family disturbance yesterday evening, in the course of which he shot his wife through the arm. and was about to fire again when when a son, who had recovered from the shock, seized an empty gun and struck his father a stunning blow on on the head, felling him to the floor. The old man was alive last night, but the attending physicians say he cannot recover. The mother and son have been arrested and are in jail.
