Charge Against Each Other.
ALDERMAN HARTMAN IS BEWILDERED

Alderman Hartman, of the Southside, has
ON his docket series of six informations,
which combined make a very interesting
story, commencing with romance and in
Guiding as many phases. The story, as told
by the Alderman, was as follows:
Mrs. Milford, OF the Twenty-seventh ward,
is a widow, and has depended on her SONS
for support. Last November her son, John,
lad Of 10, disappeared, and was not heard
from until two weeks ago. His mother had
worried much over his absence, and was at
o loss to account for it until he returned,
and presented to her his wife, formerly
Miss Nettie Bauerhen, the daughter of a
neighbor.
The lad had gone to Dayton and there
married the girl, who is only II years old.
He had lost his job, and in his extremity
had brought his bride home.
THE MOTHER WASN'T PLEASED.
His mother did not welcome her daughter
in-law in good grace, and war was declared
at once. She claimed that her sons services
were due her until he was q, and did not recog-
suit his mother has had issued an information
against him for incorrigibility and feloni-
Gus assault, claiming that he drew a knife on
her.
As the story goes. Mrs. Milford visited Mrs.
Bauerhen. the mother OF her sons wife. and, as
a result, Mrs. Baue-hen sues Mrs. Milford for
assault and battery, and turned her out of the
house.
Mrs. Milford's oldest son. Martin, also sought
Mrs. Bauerhen. to protest against her action in
ejecting his mother and is in turn sued by Mrs.
Bauerhen for felonious assault.
AFRAID OF HIS BROTHER.
John Milford then claimed that his brother
Martin laid in wait for him at the Fifteenth
street steps leading up to the hill, intending to
assault him, and he entered suit against him
for surety of the peace. Johns wife also sues
Martin for felonious assault on her husband.
Mrs. Milford is also sued by her sons wife for
using profane and derogatory language toward
the latter.
The five entered Alderman Hartman's Office
and wanted to enter informations against each
other. and the Alderman confessed that he was
pretty well confused. Finally he issued infor-
nations against all of them, and will hear the
case Friday. They we're not satisfied and all
sought to lodge the other in jail. The COM
bined cases present family ENHANCEMENT
which is rarely paralleled and may result in
more difficult complications before the affair
is settled

A young man who gave his name as Knour,
turned over a coat. vest, overcoat and silver
watch and chain to Chief OF Police Murphy, of

avenue, lying on the roadside. The clothes are
good, and evidently belong to man in COM

SOME FIGURES ABOUT COAL.

An Estimated Decrease of Three Million
Bushels in the Output.
The following interesting statistics in regard
TO the coal output were sent to the Labor Tri-
btClle:
Restriction OF output as means to revive a
depressed market is being systematically tried
by the anthracite mine operators. The output
agreed upon for April is 2 600 900 tons, which at
the end of the month will show a decrease in
the production for the first four months of the
year of nearly 100000 tons as compared with
last year for the same time. If this ratio of
decrease shall continue the entire wear the
total production will be about 90 GOO 600 tons as
against IS 000O00 last year; but it will be OOO-
600 tons less than the output of 1855 and about
the same as IN 1856 The increase was evidently
too rapid for mild winter. in addinon to the
displacement Of fuel by electric lights, natural
gas and Ohio petroleum"

Breach of Promise.

Mrs. Elizn Luis Sues Z. ]. MInnick for
Breach of Promise.
Mrs. Eliza Luis. a widow living In West
Bellevue, yesterday entered suit against Ed
ward ]. Minnick for $4,000 damages for
breach of promise of marriage. She stated
that on October l, 1859, Minnick proposed
marriage and she consented. He renewed his
promise on February 19, 1890. and procured
marriage license. He, however, continued to
deceive and injure her. did not and would not
marry her, and still refuses to do so. He has
absented himself from her and refuses to an
swer her letters and broke off all intercourse
between them She is still single and willing to
carry out her part of the agreement.
Attorney Langfitt, representing Mrs. Luis,
went before Judge Collier and asked for a ca
pias for MInnick's arrest. He said that COM
mon bail would be insufficient as Minnick was
a man of wealth and the amount would be a
mere bagatelle to him. The Court fixed the
amount of bail at 81, 900.

station as being from New York, has given an
other instance Of the power of music. He was
found early yesterday on Second avenue,
wandering in an aimless manner, carrying
valise and a cornet. Being somewhat shabby
in attire, he was arrested as a suspicious char.
acter. At the hearing before Judge GrIpp
Etel failed to make good impression, as he
was rather reticent, and was remanded.
Yesterday afternoon Inspector McAleese
asked Eitel if he could play the cornet, thereby
raising the presumption that it was his prop
erty. If he could, the Inspector promised to
release him. Eitel at once called for his cornet
and music, and the walls of the station house
soon resounded with selections from operas,
waltzes and popular melodies. The cell doors
were thrown open and Eitel walked forth into
the world whistling Annie Laurie"

called at this office last night and stated that
the strike iuaugurated there some time ago
