RUFFIANLY JBHUS.
The Old Shameful Scenes
at Funerals Renewed in
Jersey City.
BULLYING WOMEN MOURNERS
Pernicious Activity of Coach
Driver Observation-Disclosures
Res0lute.

The war between the Undertakers' As
sociation and the Coach Drivers Union
is reaching serious proportions and there
is no telling where it will end. The pub
lie is likely to be treated to repetition
of the disgraceful scenes that marked
funerals in this city some time ago. Both
sides are very bitter and the public will
have to suffer until the differences are
adjusted.
This morning the police were again
called out. Last night the Undertakers'
Association, which has recently been re-
juvensted. met at Roche's Hall. The
differences between the employers and
their help were talked over, and it was de-
cded to refuse the demands of the driv-
ers' union. Hereafter when any of the
drivers refuses to drive q coffin wagon
so-called-hs will be promptly dis
charged.
MAKING TROUBLE.
The employees this morning heard OF
the determination of the Association and
decided to make trouble. Richard Downs,
who is President OF the union, and now,
it is said, is paid by the union to create
trouble. was on hand at the funeral of a
man named Lynch on Third street. Un-
dertaker McAenna. who is not affiliated
with the Undertakers' Association and
who does not own any coaches. had
charge of the funeral. Undertaken
Frank Coyle had coach at the funeral
driven by a man named Jimmy" AS
the body was being taken from the house
several of the union coach drivers
gathered about the coach driven by
Jimmy and ordered him out of the
line and threatened him with bodily
harm.
Jimmy" refused TO be bluffed and
Downs came up. The occupants of the
coach were Mrs. Sheridan of Third street
and another lady. Downs, in threatening
manner, told Mrs. Sheridan that if she
rode in the coach there would be trouble
The woman became frightened. and al
though Jimmy tried to reassure her
one.
RUFFIANLY sCoUNDRELs.
Then Downs Insisted that the non.
union driver leave the line, or it would
not go we'll with him. AS the men gath
cred about his coach the non-union
driver thought discretion the better part
of valor and left the line.
In the mean time, Undertaken Coyle
had heard OF the trouble and telephoned
to the Second Precinct Police station. A
detachment Of police were soon on the
scene but their services were no longer
required. The funeral proceeded without
any further disturbance.
Trouble was anticipated at the funeral
of Thomas Gethins, on Third street, this
morning. The funeral was in charge OF
Undertaken Coyle and was one of the
largest that has been held in this city
seventy coaches being in line. There
were about twenty-five union drivers in
The line and as many non-union drivers
but there was no trouble beyond war Of
words and angry glances which the
union and non-union driversexchanged
A serious outbreat at some funeral is
expected at any moment. Downs. the
President of the Coach Drivers Union, is
perniciously active and is stirring the
men up. Both sides decline to arbitrate
the differences.

THE BOTTLERS OWN LAW.
A Woman the First Victim-she Had q
ThOusand Empties.

A Woman the First Victim-She Had q
Thousand Empties.
The last Legislature passed an act
which became law in March. making
it msdemeanor for any person to have
in his possession for traffic and sale bottles
used by beer and mineral water manu-
facturers. Under this act, search war
rant was procured and the junk shop of
Mary j. Tuite, of Third street was
searched by Detective James Mcbride, of
this city ana Detective Linker, of the
Bottlers' Association. They found about
1000 bottles belonging to eight or nine
bottlers i'll the place and Mrs. Taite was
arrested. She was tried yesterday after
noon in the Court of General Sessions.
The Assistant Prosecutor said in OPEN
ing the case that it was the first one that
had been brought to the Courts for trial
under the recent law. The law was
enacted at the instance of the Bottler's
Association for their protection, for the
loss sustained by bottlers from bottles
sold to junk dealers was ruinuus to busi-
ness Bottles cost dealers from six to
seven cents apiece, and sypnons eighty
cents. Junk dealers bought bottles for a
trtf1le and syphons for fifteen cents and in
this way realized an enormous profit.
Nine indictments were found by the
Grand Jury against Mrs. Tuite bnt she
was tried yesterday on but one. William
Siesche of New York was the COM
plainant
The woman did not deny having had
the bottles, bu her defense was that she
bought them before the present law was
enacted, and that she did not intend to
sell them. During the trial Mrs. Tuite's
lawyer, Theodore Ryerson, Sr., took a
number of exceptions relating to the con-
stitutionality of the act. The jury con-
victed the defendant. The extreme pen
atty for the offense is imprisonment and
fine, but the Assistant Prosecutor said
he though the woman would be let off
with a fine if she plead guilty to the eight
remaining Indictments. Her lawyer
wants to take the case up on appeal to
test the constitutiallty of the law.

REPUBLICAN TRICK RECOILs.
Bergen Hall Hired to Gag Democrats
Now Who Will Pag2

Bergen Hall Hired to Gag Democrats
Now Who Will Pay?
There is a lively row in progress among
the members of the Second Assembly
District Republican Association. The
circus started over the report of the
Rooms Committee that Mr.. SEockman
had a bill against the Association for
$3.50 for the use of Bergen Hall for Sep
tember to November 10.
The Republican Associations declares
that it will not pay the Oill, while Mr..
Stockmap says that If the money is not
handed to him he will bring suit against
the officers of the Association.
Six weeks ago the Association ordered
Its Rooms Committee to look
for new quarters. The Committee
which was given full powers thought
it would be a good idea to hire Bergen
Hall from September first to Election
Day, so that the Democrats could not
hold any mass meetings in the place DUR
ing the campaign. The committee visited
MIR. Stock:nan and engaged the hall for
that period.
The committee reported the matter to
the association at the meeting on Friday
evening last and lively times ensued. The
members of the committee say that they
are Eot responsible, while the association
say they are. What the outcome will be
is mere conjecture.
