Where Is Mr.. Wayne?

Now Mrs. Hayes Has Reappeared, but
Where Is Mr.. Wayne?
Mrs. Hayes, of No $50 Henderson street,
who was reported at police headquarters
as missing since Friday, returned home
this morning. She visited her mother,
Mrs. Fair, at No. 800 Henderson street,
but gave no account of her absence.
Simultaneous with her disappearance
from No. $50 Henderson street, Mr., Peter
Wayne, who resided in the same building,
also disappeared Mr.. Wayne is married
man, and was employed as a wagon driver
for Wallach's brewery until incapacitated
for work by Ill health. He has been low
spirited all winter, and by some it was
thought that he had committed suicide.
His wife, however, entertains no such be-
lief, nor does she attach any signi-
ficance to his disappearance on the same
day Mrs. Hayes was missed. Both she
and the brother of the missing man be-
lieve he is in Albany visiting friends.
Mrs. Wayne is very anxious, however, to
receive information of her husban's s
whereabouts. She describes him as be-
ing five feet eleven inches in height, dark
complexion, dark eyes and brown mus
tache. When he left home he was attired
in a cutaway coat, dark trousers and wore
a derby hat

James Fahey, of No. 5S Beyan street, a
big fellow thirty seven years old, was
brought before Judge Wanser this morn
ing to answer charge of abusing his wife,
to whom he has been married not more
than a year The story Of his cruelty en-
titles him to an eminent position among
brutes, if it is true. She says his cruelties
began a week after they were married, and
that he has beaten her about twice a week
on the average, since. His last assault
nearly cost her an eye. This happened
Yesterday, and she decided that It was
time to call in the protection of the law.

When and How Was the Tax
Board Changed From a
Non-PartiSan to Par
tiSan Board !?
WHAT VOORHEES, REMEMBERS.
The Amendment Was Never Made in
the Municipal Corporations
Committee.

The manner in which the clause in the
city charter concerning the composition of
the Tax Board was amended becomes
more mysterious the more it is investi-
gated.
The bill, as it wens through the Senate,
provided for minority representation III
the Board
The BILL as signed by the Governor, is
without this provision, and leaves the
Mayor free to make it up entirely OF demo
Gratis.
Mr.. Feeney was one of the Committee
on Municipal Corporations, by which
committee the bill was reported. He says
he reported it with an amendment, wip-
ing out the minority representation clause
as to the Tax Board.
Two members of Assembly from this
county told me yesterday that such an
amendment had not been reported to the
House or acted on by the House.
This morning third member from this
county told me the same thing.
Senator Edwards says, however, that he
was cognizant of the amendment
II learned of it after the bill had been
passed by the House." he said to me this
morning. 'tIrushed in and asked about
it, and was told that it had passed. The
would have changed it back to its origi-
nal shape in the Senate, but that the delay
would have killed the bill So
put it through with the amendment in it,
and it became law.
when Jerry Cleveland and Alderman
O'Neill were making ready to come to
Jersey City, he went on, ito publish the
proclamation for the election, fixed up q
printed copy of the act SO as to conform
to the amendments but as l handed it to
them, told them that there was no use
of publishing the bill in full-that they
would not have time And gave them q
carefully transcribed copy of the title of
the bill to einbody in the proclamation"
Senator Edwards added that he does not
believe that the variance between the
printed bill and the passed bill would be
Seriously regarded as an objection by the
courts. The courts will probably take
the view that the people were voting on
the general scheme of the act and that
the error in the reproduction of the clause
will be regarded as purely clerical.
1t is said on the other hand that ex-
Judge Allan L. McDermott, who is q
warm friend of the charter, is of the opig
ion that some of the questions raised un-
der it are very serious ones.

THE CzAR IN FEAR OF DEATH.
Russia's Ruler Believes That the Nihilists
Will Yet Assassinate Him.
R,l CnhLe to the United Press

Will Yet Assassinate Him.
[By Gable to the United Pressl
LONDON, April 49, 1SS9-The issuance
of an edict by the Car of Russia for
bidding the contraction of morganatic
marriages by members of the Romanoff
family is generally regarded as quite
proper, though the reason for promulgat-
ing the ukase at this particular time is
not quite apparent. Certainly no royal
or imperial family of Europe has for many
years past included in its membership any
where near as great a number or persons
availing themselves of this practice as has
the imperial house of Russia. The late
Alexander H., father of the present Car,
was perhaps the most conspicuous vlolator
of decency in this regard.
While it may not be possible to ascer-
tain the true reason for the Cars sudden
desire to prevent the marriage relations OF
his kinsmen, it is suggested that the state
of nervous prostration into which he has
been thrown by his ever increasing fear OF
Nihilist attempts to take his life may
have had something to do with his action.
1t is known positively that His Majesty
has become convinced that he IS doomed
to an end as violent as that to which his
father came, and the increase of his de-
votion to religion has kept pace with, il it
has not even outstripped the growth Of his
terror lest he be assasinated. The ordinary
safeguards thrown around the Car of AL
the Russias are no longer thought to be
sufficient to render successful attack
upon his life impossible and the greatly
augmented force of his personal attend-
ants and protectors are actually under in
structions to watch one another, SO thor
oughly does the Emperor suspect every
body Of having evil designs upon him.
The renewal of the rioting in connection
with the strikes at Vienna yesterday was
as unexpected as it was violent, most peo-
pie believing that the worst was over. The
Strikes are spreading, but it is now thought
that the vigorous action of the cavalry, re-
sulting in the wounding of large number
of the strikers, will have the effect to pre-
vent another outbreak.

Der of the Committee on Municipal Cor

provided for the election of an Alderman

the committee had a final hearing, and
agreed to those amendments. On the fol-
lowing morning Assemblyman Feeney
came to me and asked me if l intended to
continue my opposition to the bill. / said

papers he had in his hand, and said,
These are the amendments
care they all there? said I, mention
ing the ones we had agreed to ON the night
previous. Yes, said Feeney
''It is possible that he had the amend
ment making the Take Commission partisan
with him then, but ii he had he said
nothing of it to me.
IN justice 10 those offering the amend
ment, it is only fair to say that I did not
ask whether the Tax Commission was to
be non partisan, taking it for granted, as
nothing had been said in committee to
lead me to think otherwise"

The numbers engaged in the great
dock laborers strike and the peaceful
manner OF their proceedings indicate
that this act is the first one in a drama
yet TO be played. as there is some mo-
tive under it all much more forciDie
than a call for higher wages. The TACT
that other laborcrs in other
branches Of labor have joined the
strike proves this, as 1t Is
not supposed that Government man
carrier has common grievance with
that Of a dock laborer. Strikes generally
fail. and the failure Is carried with all
..ponribility by the strikers after the
game between pital and labor IS
played with starvation as the last card
When a man Of one calling joins
those Of another in strike. being no
Judge Of he gri vance. 1t shows that
there is an irrational but strong feeling
that Is simply sympathy.
The sympathy comes from an IN
stinctive movement Of the lahorine
classes towards something, they know
rot what, except a relief from the
power Of wealth, which they conceive
is inimical 10 them. The laborer does
not pause to reflect on the i'm
provement in the condition OF
his brethren in the last century.
He only sees the spleDdor and
luxury sof the wealthy classes and
wonders vsinly why be is so poorly oil
The difference in the London strike
and those we are to have in Amer
lea. is that the wealth Of England
where it gives individuals o.
classes great power, is different from
what the laborer complains against
here. Ii does not. any more that the
gigantic financial power Of the Roth
cnilds. come from monopoly and com
bination and organized wrong on th'
people. The centsry that it took to &C
cumulate the power Of the Rothchildi
is four times the period that makes
such men as Gould and Carnage, anC
the proportion therefore is foul
times a. great in rating the
creative power Of wealth II
this country. The American feels The
tyranny of the plutocrat when he i
taxed for the necessary articles Of life
and knows that the plutocrat S money
| has bribed through the law tina
pinches.
And this is the point that will FINAL,
bring the laborer in line against the
high prohibiiory tariff
