newly appointed men on the Hoboken
force. He is a young man of peaceful
disposition and exemplary habits. Be-
fore being appointed on the Hoboken

years ago. This marriage proved exceed
ingly unhappy. Mrs. Ryan was fond of
liquor. She could not do without 1t. She
was incarcerated in the County Jail for a
term on account of drunkenness. Her
husband secured her release. He always
forgave her. When in her cups Mrs.
Ryan was q terror. She destroyed the
furniture and she has wrecked seven sets
of furniture. Finally her husband got
tired buying furniture and tried board
ing awhile, although he had two chill
dren.
Before Ryan was appointed on the Ho-
boken police force he moved to that city.
He made his home at No. 81 Third street.
His wife kept sober awhile, and it looked
as IL she had determined TO lead new
life. Her husband throught SO, at any

keeping. But now all is changed. Mrs.
Ryan is in jail So is her alleged para
mour, and the wronged husband has in

on Ferry street A Grove street horsecar
was bowling along on its way to the
ferry There was a commotion in the car
and the driver stopped
"Odicer," the conductor cried, Il wish
you would eject couple in here. Their
conduct is disgraceful."
Ryan went into the car. His club
dropped from his hand aud his face grew
pale at the sight which presented itself.
In the corner of the car was his wife. She
was laughing, singing and drunk. Be
side her was Il middle aged man. He was
far from soner. He had his arm around
Mrs. Ryan's neck and was hugging and
kissing her.
Ryan's first impulse was to do some
thing rash. But he thought better OF it,
Going over to his wife, who had not
noticed his approach, he tapped her on
the shoulder and said in a cold harsh
voice.
THE wIFE's TURN.
Nellie, 1 want you." At the same
time he laid q heavy hand on the woman s
companion. The shock was so great that
1t sobeRed the wife somewhat. She began
to cry and plead. Her companion. who
did not know the relation she bore to the
policeman, became indignant, His In
dignation received a severe shock when
he learned the truth.
Ryan, with tears in his eyes. started for
the police station. All the while his wife
kept up an incessant pleading, but the
wFonged husband was determined and
would not listen to her. Finally, when
the corner of Bloomfield and Newark
streets was reached. Mrs. Ryan threw
herself to the ground and became hyster-
ical 1t required the combined efforts of
five policemen to lodge her in cell.
The man who was with her gave his
name as Myles Deveraux. He said he
was horseshoer by occupation and that
he boarded in the same house with the
Ryans. He was charged with disorderly
conduct.
Policeman Ryan has instructed Judge
DAILY to institute divorce proceedings.

light in the Court OF Chancery this morn
ing when Messrs. Dickinson & Thomp-
son applied to Vice Chancellor Pitney for
a receiver in the case of the executors of
Hulda Feazler against the estate of
Henry G. Howell. Away back In
the fifties Henry G. Howell borrowed $500
from Mrs. Hulda Feazler and gave his
note for the same. AS she received the
interest regularly Mrs Feazler did not
trouble herself about the principal until
1880. When she went to look after the
matter she found that Howell had been
dead several years and that the estate had
been scattered except one mortgage. A
litigation followed which has been pro-
longed to this day.
A receiver was appointed to take charge
of the mortgage, but he has died since
the suit began and the application this
morning was for the appointment of q
new received The Vlce-Chancellor did
not think that sufficient notice had been
given and directed counsel to remedy the
defect.
