A wife's Pitifu1 story to Justice sey-
mour-A Blaze in Meyenberg's Silk
Miils-N4ak Cousins Has His Team
Standardization Briehets.
A horrible case of cruelty and neglect
of a wife and children has come to
light in the. Court of Justice Seymour.
Mrs. Schneider, the wife of Charles
: Schneider, a ship caulker in receipt Of
good wages, complained to the Judge
that her husband had severely beaten
her. She wanted a warrant issued, and
Constable Stanton is engaged in hunt
ing for him.
| visited the woman's home, or place
of residence. It. lis situated on the top
floor of a miserable looking hovel in
that locality known as the Five
Shalnrocks,p One room, nearly desti-
'tute of furniture, served the purpose of
a shelter for Mrs. Schneider and her
children, who were scantily clothed,
unkempt and bcotless. There was no
fire, and the damp wallis are excellent
promoters of disease.
Mrs. S~chneider's story is indeed a
pitiful one. She has been married
about twelve years. Very soon after
her marriage she had cause to blame
her husband for neglecting his home,
which she made as comfortable as pos
sible, for other female companions.
Things gradually grew worse, but she
bore with his neglect, and was the
mother of four children. For the past
nine months, until some weeks ago, he
supplied her with the bare necessaries
of life, but was never at home. She
learned that he lived in a house on
Fourth street, and that his companions
were two women OF questionable char
acter.
In order to help her along, Mrs.
Schneider put her eldest boy, nine
years of age, to work selling news
papers. He had no boots, and soon
began to suffer from frozen feet. She
applied to her husband for help to the
extent of a pair of boots for her child.
In response she vas abused and beaten,
and their child also came in for a share
of the i'll usage.
Schneider heard that a warrant has
been issued for his arrest, and has
skipped the town. Mrs. Schneider's is
a fair case for some of the charitable
associations in Hoboken.
