DAUGHTER AGAINST FATHER.
A Painful Family Row Among Old Ber-
gen Residents.

Painful Family Row Among Old Ber-
gen Residents.
Mrs. Willhelmina Rowland, the daugh-
ter of William Welsh, of No. % Atlantic
avenue, caused the arrest of her father
several days ago on charge of threaten
ing to strike her. Mrs. Rowland lives
with her husband in Brooklyn. She is
well known in Bergen church circles and
was favorite before she left this city.
Her husband was poor man and this
displeased her father. who after their
marriage was forced to help the couple
financially very often.
The estrangement between father and
daughter became more pronounced, and
two years ago she ceased to VISIT him at
all. AT about this time her husband
came into possession of considerable
money, and this appeared to increase
the dislike of Mr.. Welsh for his son-irl-
law. A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs How
land visited friends in this city who live
near Mr. Welsh. When they were about
to return home at nine O'Clock In the
evening Welsh saw them. Hewas sitting
on the piazza Of his house, in his stocking
feet.
He ran down the steps and Mrs. How
land saw him come toward them. To
avoid trouble she told her husband to go
on and she would wait for her father.
When he approached, he began to up
braid her, called her husband names and
declared he wanted paid the money he
had lent his son. in-law At
last he worked himself into
such rage that he raised his hand as if
to strike his daughter. Policeman Cody
stood near and interfered He compelled
Welsh to go into the house.
The next day Mrs. Howland obtained a
warrant from Justice Peloubet, and last
night after the examination was con-
Guided, Welsh was placed under bonds to
keep the peace. He furnished bonds and
directed Justice Peloubet to collect q
claim of SAG against his son-in-law for
clothes bought him and money loaned.

Odd DETECTIVB WORK.
Crookedness Revealed by an
Indignant Wife in Justice
WanSer'S Court.

Matrimonial life has been ANYTHING but
an excursion on a complimentary ticket
to those realms of bliss poets SO often
sing of since Mrs. Amanda Schmidt en-
tered into it. The charming Amanda is
fair to gaze upon. Her eyes are blue,
her tresses are golden and her figure is as
perfect as her German pronunciation.
Her age is about twenty.
The partner that she secured to share
her joys is John Schmidt. He is by no
means beautiful or handsome. He is
Dutchman. The marriage took place
about one year ago, at North Bergen,
and very soon afterward Amanda dis
covered that the venture had been an
unsuccessful speculation. She left her
husband and went to the home of her
mother, No. 2l8 Hancock avenue, to live.
AT the same time she began a suit for di-
vorce in the Court of Chancery and made
Mrs. Lindemeyer the correspondent.
Mrs. Lindemeyer, she claimed. got all the
benefits of her matrimonial speculation,
without the permanent incumbrance of a
husband.
VERY ANNOYING.
After Mrs. Schmidt had done these
things, she says, her husband caused her
much annoyance about trifiing incidents
in her life. One of these trifies was when
he caused her to be arrested for adultery,
charge which Mrs. Schmidt told Jus.
tice Wanser this morning disgraced her
and made her feel lawful bad.r This
arrest was made about one month ago
and Amanda gave $500 bail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
Last night she left her mothers house to
visit the house of Thomas Schmidt, of No.
293 New York avenue. and while she was
there her husband and Fred. Heldermyng
approached the building, and made them
selves obnoxious by shouting through the
windows at her When she went home
the two men followed her and called her
vile names, and so annoyed her that Mrs.
Schmidt caused their arrest. This morn
ing both men were before Justice Wanser,
and the above story with many irrelevant
details was told.
DESERVED CONDEMNATION.
When Mrs. Schmidt spoke OF Helder-
myng she said he was in her employ for
eight months as private detective to OBJ
tain evidence against her husband in her
divorce suit, and that she had paid him
wages during all that time. That now
he had gone over to the enemy and was
her husbands spy.
is it true" asked the Justice of Hell
de rmyng, that Mrs. Schmidt employed
you as detective?"
Yes, it is true,' was the calm answer
And now you are employed by Mr..
Schmidt to get evidence against his
Wife?"
YES"
"Well,' said the disgusted Justice "you
are neither a gentleman nor detective"
Justice Wanser gave both men severe
lecture and then fined each one $50 and
cautioned them in language not TO be
mistaken not to appear before him again
for the same offence.

MARKS, and when he had concluded said

A Feeling of Expectancy
that Something Will
Drop Tonight.

There is sort of expectant feeling pre-
vaiiing among the officials at the Hobo
ken City Hall this morning. Tonight is
the regular meeting night of the Council
and it is an even thing whether meet
ing will be held or not.
To hold meeting five members are re-
quired to De present. The old combine,
which consisted of Chairman Stanton,
Councilmen Londrioan, Boncelet, Snyder
and Bewig, has been broken by the
desertion of Councilman Boncelet a few
days before Chairman Stanton sailed for
Europe. This made the Board tie.
Now the Erlenkoetter faction is doing
its utmost to win Bewig over to its way
OF thinking. 1t remains to be seen
whether they will succeed or not. If they
do and meeting should be held tonight,
the new combine threatens all sorts of
things. They imagine their power is un-
limited, and they even state that they
have the power to change tbs committees.
IL is possible that Councilman Bewig may
resist all overtures, and await Chairman
Stanton's return from Europe
