BUTCHER RoBB IN COURT.

His Wife Charges Non-Support, and He
Replies with Something Worse.
A portion of the dirty linen belonging
to the family of Alexander Robb was ex-
hibited in Justice Weeds court this after
noon. Robb is @ butcher. and once lived
in good style at Twelfth street. He was
married eighteen years ago to sister of
Police Sergeant. McGuinness. The evil
dence showed that up to q year ago the
house was furnished with piano. bruS
sells carpets and other articles in keeping
with them.
Robb, it seems, could not stand prosper
ity, and took to drink. He admitted to
Justice Weed that he had suffered with
delirium tremens. While thus affiic ted,
Robb took an old friend, Frank Siefert,
home with him. Siefert is a musician.
He boarded at Robb's several weeks, and
claims he took care of Robb during his
sickness and lent him money.
When Robb recovered he left home,
and Mrs. Robb claims he has failed to
support her and the children since that
time. She went to her mother in Brook
lyn and gave her a bill of sale on the
furniture. Siefert also Went there to
board. Robb claims that his old friend
became intimate with his wife
and for that reason he left
his home. This charge was Indignantly
denied by Siefert and Mrs. Robb.
She applied to Poormaster Hewett, tell
ing him that she was unable to support
her family. The Poormaster had Robh
arrested for non-support, and all the part
les, including Mrs. Robb's mother and
sister, appeared before Justice Weed this
afternoon. Robb was represented by At
torney Rowe, and Mrs. Robb by Corpora
ton Counsel Hudspeth.
Robb said he was willing to support his
family if his wife would return to him,
but Mrs. Robb refused to live with him
again. Attorney Rowe claimed that this
proposition ON the part of Robb was suf
ficient to show that the husband would
support his family, and asked that the
case be dismissed. Justice Weed, how
ever, held different views, and decided
that Robb must pay his wife $40 month,
and give a bond of $400 to carry out the
order.
While the parties were leaving the
court room the mother-in-law shook her
finger at Robb and said:-"You haven't
heard the last of this, sir. I'll teach you
vet to slander my daughter"
"Oh, you go long and shut up" replied
Robb.
Then Mrs. Robb's sister took her turn
at her brother-in-law.
"You miserable, dirty loafer," said she
''That's a nice way to talk about my sis
ter You're a pretty man to slander 6
good woman, you mean, miserable
thing"

THE NEWS OF HOBOKEN.
TWO COMPLICATED CASES COME
BEFORE THE COURTS.


The House That Carpenter Walheineclxe
Built Is the Bone of Contention in
One Instance Partners Kohls and
wulf Disagree.
A jolly row, in which about all the
minor crimes on the calender appear, is
to be heard by Justice Rusch tomorrow
night. Frederick Scheibe engaged
Frederick Walheinecke, a carpenter,
to put up a two-story frame house
Scheibe furnished all the materials AID
the carpenter agreed to do the work for
$1T5. He consented to occupy the house,
Scheibe claims, at a rental of $25 per
month-but the price is disputed and
was to vacate the premises at the end of
seven months when receipts of payment
in full were to have been exchanged.
Nine months have elapsed and the car
penter's family is still installed in the
dwelling and refuses to vacate. The
house is not actually completed and each
blames the other for its unfinished state
and for violation of contract.
Scheibe went to Justice Anderson to
have the carpenter and his family elected.
The Justice decided in favor of the car
penter. Since then it has been exceed
ingly lively in that vicinity, as the
Scheibes occupy the adjoining house.
The result Of their frequent collisions is
that Seheibe andihis housekeeper, Frances
Stocker, applied to Justice Rusch, each
making a complaint of assault and bat
terry against Mrs Walheinecke, and
Scheibe entered two other complaints, ona
for grand larcen and another for utter
ing threats. The defendants in both com-
plants are Frederick and Alfred Wal
heinecke
The charge of grand larceny is based on
the allegation that the Wahheineckes
stole lumber valued at 800. The Wall
heinecke family was arrested by Con-
stable Reese, and gave bail for the exam
ination to be held tomorrow evening.

BAYONNE WILL FIGHT.
A Lively scrimmage with the P. R.R. In
Prospect.

"A Lively mmaBO HAth thc 1StSs IN
Prospect.
There is a prospect of an exceedingly
lively legal fight between the City of Bay
onne and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company over the branch which the latter
is about to build from Waverly to the
New York Bay.
The route of the new road, which now
masquerades under the name of the
Wayerly and New York Railroad, crosses
the city of Bayonne in a direct line from
Newark Bay to New York Bay, and runs
over every street and road leading to that
city from Jersey City.
The Common Council of Bayonne has
discovered that the new railroad will cross
these roads and streets at a grade of
eleven feet, and claim that this will prac-
tically shut out from the city on the north
all conveyances which may be loaded to
that height.
The Council directed its counsel, Colonel
Fuller, to take steps to protect the city.
If the Pennsylvania people will not
change their grade an application will be
made to the Court of Chancery to restrain
them from proceeding with the work.

A Well Attended and Harmonious Meet
ing in Coopers' Hall.

ing in Coopers' Hall.
The meeting of the Central Tabor
Assembly in Coopers' Hall last evening
was well attended. AT eight O'Clock sharp
Secretary Burke raped the meeting to
order, and called upon the Carpenters
Union to designate the evenings presid-
ing officer. The Carpenters waived their
claim, and the next organization in
alphabetical order Cigarmakers' No
13l-named H. +. Trapper as chairman.
The Coach Drivers delegates were then
admitted. The Pocahontas Association of
Cigarmakers was objected to by the In
ternational Cigarmakers, and the matter
of its admission was deferred for one
week
The special committee appointed at the
last meeting to confer with the Jersey As
sociation and the Building Trades Coun-
Gil as to celebrating Labor Day, made a
report in which it was stated that the
Conference Committee had held a very
harmonious session, in which it
was agreed that the Labor Day
picnic should be under the joint manage
ment of the three central bodies. 1t was
also decided to have a parade, and the
Building Trades Council was accorded
the right of line and the privilege of nam
ing the grand marshal. His aids will be
selected from the different organizations
so that all may have representation.
From the favor with which the report was
received it is evident that the labor unions
of Hudson county will make a great turn
out this year.
After this matter had been thoroughly
discussed, motion was made and carried
that the appointment of the years stand
ing committees be referred to the Com
mittee on Organization, with instructions
to report next Thursday night On that
evening also the central body will elect
three delegates to the State Federation OF
Labor. The meeting then adjourned.
The Central Assembly calls upon all or
| ganizations to do their utmost to make
Labor Day this year a red letter in the
annals of the labor movement in Hudson
county.
| After the meeting adjourned there was
considerable discussion by the delegates

Partners Disagree.

Justice Rusch is endeavoring to settle +
complicated case. Charles j. Kuhls has
been arrested for embezzlement The
complainant is Ernest Wulff, who alleges
that Kohls has appropriated $461 that be-
longed to Wulf.
The two men engaged In the manure
business. Wuif was the capitalist, and
Kohls had the experience. Kohls coll
lected the money. He claims they were
psrtners and he was entitled to compen-
sation for his services. Wulff asseverates
that they were not partners and the
agreement was that Kohls was to have
for his services one-haf of the profits
There has been go gain. Wulff further
alleges that he alone had authority to col.
lect the bills. He caused Kohls' arrest q
few days ago, when he discovered that.
Kohls had collected $115.
The Justice then tried to get at the facts
and examined the books kept by Wulff to
ascertain what the receipts and expendi-
lures had been. The books were so badly
kept that he abandoned the task. He
tried to effect an amicable settlement but
both men were so obstinate that they
would not agree to compromise
The matter was in allegiance when Wulf
discovered that Kohls' collections aggre-
grated $461, and he made another COM
plant. Kohls was again taken into GUS
and spent the night in cell.
The Justice has concluded that the case
should go to a civil court, as he is satisfied
the men were partners and there is no
ground for criminal action.
