WIFE-BEArING EXTRAORDINARY.

The Awful Case of John Campbell and
His Truly Angelic Spouse.
A wild eyed woman, attired in light
lily umbrella, rushed into Justice Kim
merly's Court this morning, and after
taking hurried glance about the Court
room, shouted:-"Is he here, confound
the little brat: I'll make him sick when
catch him."
Judge Kimmerly thought that one of
the inmates Of the Snake Hill Lunatic
Asylum had broken loose and was about
to order Detective Hottie to arrest her,
when she made mad rush for the stairs
and disappeared through the doorway of
the station house.
She reRppeared a few minutes later,
dragging diminutive lookingman a fter
her. The man looked as though he was
half scared to death and trembled like
leaf IN gale. The woman half pulled
and half carried him up the stairs into the
Court room and up to the Judges desk.
This is him." she cried.
She then started at record bref king
gait to unfold her tale of woe. Judge
Kimmerly, who could not get in a word
edgewise or crosswise, resigned himself
to cruel fate, and resolved, very
wisely, to say nothing. After the
woman had talked for nearly
quarter of an hour without
stop he learned that "nim" was John
Campbell and that she was poor John
Campbell's wife and that they lived on
West Side avenue in West Bergen and
that she wanted to be separated from
John because he beat and abused her
frightfully.
What have you got to say, Johaf"
asked the Judge, addressing the alleged
wife beater, who stood trembling before
the desK.
Nothing, your Honor" he replied,
''only that l would be happy
if we We're separated. Yesterday
she left me all alone at home, and while
she was enjoying herself at the Davis ex-
cursion / had to cook my own meals.''
II want you to lock him up for telling
such ies," yelled the woman.
II cannot lock him up on that charge"
replied the Judge
"Well, then l will 60 to someone who
will, )" replied Mrs. Campbell, aud again
grabbing the wife heater by the collar,
she yanked him over to the office of JUS
tice of the Peace Roe, directly opposite.
Justice of the Peace Hanna was in
charge. and, like Judge Kimmerly, he
was forced to listen to the woman for
nearly fifteen minutes. Judge Ktmmerly
other side of the street enjoying the scene.
The woman danced about. brandished
her umbrella, shrieked and yelled, but it
was of no use. Judge Hanna would not
cause Johns arrest.
"All you Judges are brutes," she
shrieked as she pulled John through the
doorway and when last seen she was
yanking her unhappy spouse down Com
munipaw avenue towards West Bergen.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25. 1892. 2.-Despatches
received today at the Office Of the Ham
burg American Packet Company, No. 81
Broadway, state that the directors of tie
Company have resolved to adopt radical
measures to prevent the introduction of
cholera into the country by the steam
ships of that line.
Hamburg, the port of d ,parture of
their steamships for New Yo K, is appar-
emily the centre of the cholera endemic
in Europe. The number of deaths from
cholera there is reported to be increasing
daily, and already foots up into the hun

passengers to Hamburg until the cpl

The steamships Fuerst Bismarck, Nor
MAMMA. Augusta Victoria, etc.. will ply
only to Southampton until further orders
and will carry no immigrant passengers
whatever. All immigrant passengers will
be brought by separate ships from Ham

taken on those shiDs.

NEW YORK's PRECAUTIONS.
Despite the alarmingly rapid spread of
cholera in Hamburg, Aavre, Antwerp
and other European cities, Health Officer
Jenkins aud the other local authorities
believe that the quarantine defenses of
New York are impregnable against the
disease.
At the same time DR.. jenkins admits
that infected persons may bring the dis
ease as far as Quarantine, and that within
the next week or two many cholera pa
tients may arrive in port among the hun
dreds of Immigrants brought over by the
great ocean lines.

day in the infected ports of France, Ger

pany by number of persons most of
whom were discharged employees of the
company and the concern was in bad
way financially.
ILwas claimed that the property of the
company was exceedingly valuable and
would IN tine pay handsome profits. 1t
was therefore proposed that the sub

FINANCIAL MAKESHIFT.

No Meeting of the Board-City Treasurer
Must Hustle to Pay Interest
Owing to the failure of either of the Re-
publican members of the Board of FL
nance to put in an appearance at the time
appointed for meeting of the Board this
morning. no meeting was held. The call
issued by President Edelstein set the
meeting time for ten O'Clock. By some
men about the City Hall, it is said that
commissioner Hitler was seen at nine
O'Clock. Whether this be true or not
ne did not appear at the office of the
Board of Finance until half past ten
O'Clock. III the meantime President
Edelstein and Commissioner Bedell, who
We're on hand before ten o'clock and
waited until twenty minutes after tea,
decided that to save the city from default
1t would be necessary for them to direct
the City Treasurer to make arrangements
whereby the interest due could be paid on
Septembe 1.
The amount of interest due is S26. .337 so.
Of this, $1,000 is on general bonds. 81. 592. so
on assessment bonds, and $19, 145 on water
account bonds.
Having considered what course was
best to pursue in order to save the city's
credit, the two Democratic members sent
the following letter to City Treasurer
Cleveiand:-
DEAR SIR:-The Board of Finance having
failed to meet this morning. and it being neces-
sary 10 provide for the September interest, you
wll please make all the arrangements that may
be required to maintain the citys credit.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN EDELsTEIN.
ALvA A. BEDELL.
treasurer Cleveland was not inclined
to discuss the dilemma. He remarked,
however, Il imagine interest will be paid.
Jersey City has never defaulted yet and
doubt if she will now. Such thing as
this has never occurred before. imagine
1t will end all right this time"
1t Is not at all probable that another
meeting of the Board of Finance will be
called before September l, Treasurer
Cleveland will probably make arrange
ments with one of the city banks to ad-
vance a sum sufficient to meet the in
terest due until the matter is Strengthened
out.

CAMDEN. Aug. 25. 1S92.-The material
for the scaffold which will be placed in
the Camden jail for the execution of
Morton arrived on Tuesday, and car
penters began erecting it. The execution
will be the third in the history of the
county The last person hung was Ben
jamin HunLer. who was hanged for the
murder of his intimate friend, Thomas
Armstrong, to secure $4,000 insurance
money in 1879.
Morton has signifed to his death watch
that he will request Sheriff West TO allow
him fifteen minutes to address the pri-
soners in the Jail to warn them against
indulging in strong drink, a curse, he
says, that has brought HIM to the gal
lows.
Private Secretary Fox accompanied
Sheriff West and Jailor Johnson to the
cell of Morton last night, when the
death warrant was read by the Sheriff.
Morton exhibited signs of breaking
down when the Sheriff concluded, and he
at once sought comfort by reading his
Bible.

Invoking her Majestys' High Court OF
Justice to Give The Thunderer
BOOm.

LONDON, June 9.-Mr. Justice North,
in the chancery division of her maiesty's
high court of justice, today handed
down his decision in the test copyright
action brought by the Times against the
st. James Gazette. The action was
brought in respect of some out of
number of articles or paragraphs that
appeared in the St. James Gazette of
April 18th which had appeared in the
Times of the same morning. In some of
the cases the source from which the ar
ticles were taken was stated ina greater
number it was not. The plaintiff did
not claim copyright in or sue in
respect of all the articles or para
graphs reprinted, but only in respect of
such as had been paid for previously to
publication. The most prominent article
referred to was one out of series of let
ters appearing in the Times from North
America, entitled in sight of Monadnock.
The St. James Gazette of April 18th,
contained extracts from that letter
amounting in the whole to less than
half and more than third of the letter.
AZ WAC, pElnLcO do cXCrdCLS from the
letter in the Times of the same morning,
and in'anotiier part of the paper there
was reference to it, with comments on
the supposed high payments made to
the author and the new departure said
to be taken by the Times in giving the
name of their paid contributor. Justice
North granted an injunction regarding
the Monadnock article, which he said
the St. James Gazette had not printed
as an illustration or criticism, but in ex-
actly the same manner as If that paper
had written or purchasedit. He said that
there were circumstances, notwitstand-
ing the fact that articles were copyright
ed, under which the St. James Gazette
might have copied passages from the
articles. Justice North also decided the
question of copyright in news and tele-
grams in favor of the Times. He said
there was or might be copyright in the
particular mode in which information is
conveyed. No damages were awarded
the Times. The st. James Gazette pays
the costs of the action.

Crop Prospeots I'm Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., June "a summary of
the crop reports from the correspondents
throughout the state, published today
by the Kansas Farmer. indicates a wheat
acreage equal to that of last year. The
condition of the wheat crop has improved
greatly since the last report, while in
general the damage by excessive rains
has been less than was to be expected.
The harvest will be later than usual and
the crop now promises to be fairly good.
The acreage of oats is larger than hereto
fore and the crop is in good condition.
Corn is very backward on account of wet
weather. The acreage will : be larger
than usual even if planting has to be ex-
tended. The growth of that planted has
been slow. but ample time remains to
make a corn crop with. a favorable sea-
con from this time forward.

THEY WOULD VOTE FOR PALMER.
As Suggestion From High Source it
causes Eiation in Chicago.
WHAT j. De w. wAKsER SAYS.
Factions in New York are to be Prize.,
for the Good Results Produced.
Minor Mention.

CHICAGO, June 9.-The adherents of
Senator Palmer are elated over what Mr..
Depew said in Chicago respecting the
strength of Senator Palmer'in New York.
Ii Mr.. Depews sincerity and Judgment
are to be trusted Palmer is one of the
few men who can unite the discordant
elements of the New York democracy.
According to Mr.. Depew's calculations
there are 10000 mugwump and indie
pendent democratic voters in New York.
These would not vote for Morrison, Cor
manor Hill. But Mr.. Depew says they
would vote for Senator Palmer. Prob
ably this statement is in the main ae-
curate. Senator Palmer might secure
more votes in New York than any other
democrat. He might outrun any other
democrat in Illinois. He might do al
most as well as Iowa, Indiana and Wis
consin. It is unfortunate for Senator
Palmer that he and his friends have not
taken advantage of his opportunities.
The Springfield convention was over
whelmingly in favor of Palmer instruc-
tions, but by the adroitness of the friends
of Mr.. Cleveland and Col. Morrison no
iron-clad instructions were permitted to
COME before the convention. The
Palmer idea has had no organization be-
hind it. 1t has drifted without rudder
or sail. 1t has evoked a good deal of
cheering now and then, but nobody has
put in any steady work to help it along
in the right direction. In the mean
time congressman Forman and Fithian
have been at work winning delegates for
Morrison. 1t is now claimed that Nor
rison will have a majority of the Illinois
delegates in the convention at the proper
time.
