It's Vagar1es Get Mrs. Ku.
fah1 Into Trouble with
Her Husband.

Hobeken has another scandal. A young
married woman, the wife Of travelling
salesman, deserted her husband and went
to live with painter under an assumed
name. The guilty couple were traced by
Constable George Stanton yesterday, and
on complaint of the husband were locked
up charged with living in open lewd-
ness.
The injured husbands name is John
KufahI. He married Wilhemina Meyers
about three years ago and the couple
started housekeeping on Washington
street. Mrs. Kufahl was of very lively
disposition. She was rather handsome
with pair of lustrous black eyes
KufahPs duties as a travelling sales
man kept him away from home weeks at
time. During one of these periods of
absence Mrs. Kufahl met Otto albert at
social gathering. Otto is painter en-
ployed on the Hamburg dock. He is pass
ably good looking. Otto was single, and
Mrs. Kufahl gave him permission to call
at her house. The neighbors noticed the
visits of Otto and talked about them. The
young wife, fearing that the stories
would reach the ears of her husband, eau
toned her ardent young lover and, the
story goes, agreed TO meet him clandes-
timely. The wife, according to the hus-
Dttu0 . 6tOIy3 WdS dlWhfS WTlBllG IOVlQR
letters to him, but he now remembers
that she was particularly anxious to learn
abont what time he would be home.
A few days before the arrival of the
husband, the meetings between the
guilty couple would cease, and Wilhe-
NINA would greet her husband with open
arms. The deluded husband would re-
main at homo for about week and then
would start on another trip. The meet
fngs between the young painter and the
guilty wife would again be resumed.
But this order of things did not last long
In the early part of last December the
husband went TO Philadelphia. While he
was away albert paid ardent attention to
Mrs. Kufahl. He begged of her to leave
her husband and live with him.
At last she consented, and when
the husband arrived home in the latter
part of Decem Der, he found that his wife
had flown, leaving letter which stated
that he need not search for her. The hus-
band, wild with rage. went before Judge
Streng and told his story. He also en-
ployed detective, but no trace Of his
wife could be found. He learned that
the name of his wife's paramour was
albert and that he was a painter on the
Hamburg dock, but no such name ap-
pearea on the books at the dock.
Constable stanton was put on the case
about a month ago. He found that fell
low answering the description of Albert
was employed as a painter under the
name of Baumaster, aud his address was
on the company's books as No. 116 Fourth
street. The constable went to this ad-
dress but found that the couple had
moved to No. 98 Clinton street. The
house was watched and yesterday after
noon the constable caught the guilty
pair. They were occupying apartments
in the house. They were known to the
other tenants as Mr.. and Mrs. Baumas-
ter The formality of marriage cere-
mony had been dispensed with.
The couple were arraigned before Judge
Streng. Albert was plainly dressed and
wore a jumper. The woman was rather
stylishly dressed and took her arrest as a
huge joke. They were remanded to a
cell and were this morning sent to the
County Jail in default of bail.
Women Fight in a Hotel.
There was considerable excitement
about the Germania Hotel on First street,
Hoboken, last night. The hotel does not
bear good reputation.s About seven
O'Clock pedestrians on First street were
startled by the shrek of a wom-
floor of the hotel. A woman,
half clad, was seen at the
window crying for help. Another woman
had her blythe hair and was mauling her
numerically. A large crowd was at
tracted by the scene and word was sent
to the police station. Policeman Weihe
and Kerrigan were sent to stop the row.
The policemen hurried to the room and
separated the women. The crow cheered
No arrests were made as the proprietor
refused to make complaint.
1t appears that the two pugilistic
women were sisters. They arrived in
Hoboken on Thursday in the company Of
q German variety actor and hired rooms.
The quarrel grew out of jelousy of the
attentions the actor paid to the sister who
was getting ''mauled." The proprietor
of the hotel refused to give the names of
The young women. This morning, the party
packed their grips and LETT the city.
