WHERE STEIN GOES | GO.
Mrs. Joerns Cannot Compel Her
Husband to Pay Her Alimony.

The divorce case of Elise Joerns from
her husband, George Joerns, of Hoboken,
had another airing in the Court of Chan
Gerry today. The Joerns: kept board
ing house at No. SS Hudson street IN 1889.
In October of that year. Louis Stein be-
came boarder. and soon afterward Mr..
Joerns complained that his wife had made
Stein tar boarder and that she cared
for him better than she did fer any one
else in the house. Joerns complained OF
this attention after he observed certain
evidences of affection existing between
the two and demanded that his wife
should no longer keep Stein as boarder.
She refused to turn him away and when
her husband said he would do so Mrs.
Joerns replied "Where Stein goes, CO."
JoERNs SLEPT NEAR THE ROOF.
The testimony in the divorce case
showed that after this Mrs. Joerns re-
fused to snare her sleeping apartment
with her husband and that he was sent
to the top of the house. Stein was given
sleeping room which adjoined that of
Mrs. Joerns with door which opened
between them. STEMS nephew slept in
the room with Stein on sofa. but left
the house each morning at four O'Clock
to go tu work.
One night Mrs. Joerns and Stein had
words and she ran to the street, and
boarder named Mack ran after her and
forced her to return. Stein was in Mrs.
Joerns' room. and almost devoid of cloth
ing when they came back. Mrs. JOerns
wept, and Stein endeavored to console
ner, but she refused consolation and cried
out hat no one but Mack cared for her.
For two days Mrs. Joerns refused to
speak to Stein, and he showed his grief
by weeping They became reconciled.
Joerns got disguised and soon after
left his wife in disgust and never lived
with her again. Stein and Mrs. Joerus
and her children moved to No. .241 bloom
field street, where they occupied four
rooms, and the children called Stein
papa. After this they moved to a house
on Weehawken Heights and live there
vet. Stein pays the rent.
Mrs. Joerns sued her husband for limi-
ted divorce, alleging cruelty, and obtained
a decree. The Chancellor ordered Joerns
to pay alimony and he failed to do so, and
his wife, through Lawyer Samuel Bessou.
caused an order of attachment
for contempt to be issued
against him. This order was
rerurnable today before Chancellor Nc
Gill and was dismissed by the Chancellor,
1t being clearly shown by Counsellor
Collins that Joerus had no money to pay
alimony with. The Counsellor said also
that he would hear an application to re-
open the decree.

MARTIN TAX SALES.
Many of the City's Purchases Re-
deemed-The Periecting of
Titles.

The Sinking Fund Commissioners held
short session few days ago and de-
cided by resolution to look into the mat
ter of having the Corporation Counsel
perfect the titles to all property bought
In by the city at the Martin Act tax sales.
Under the law as it was IN operation
prior to the last session OF the Legisla-
ture. the city by making searches in Sc
curing titles under the act could not
receive any reimbursement. Occa-
sions arose where the city
had paid for having searches
made and then the original owner stepped
in and redeemed the property. The cost
of the searches was thus saddled upon
The city. Corporation Counsel Edwards
saw at once that it was poor pay
made at the expense of the city
for the benefit Of property owners. An
amendment passed at the last session OF
the Legislature provides for such cases as
this. and at present the cost OF all searches
made Is to be added to the adjusted tax,
thus protecting the city in every partic-
ular.
OF the 916 parcels of land bought In by
the city, many have been redeemed bv
the original owners and more are being
redeemed daily. Mr.. Edwards notified
about fifty property owners that the city
desired clear title to their property, and
as result many redemptions are being
consummatea.
Individual purchasers have also exDeri-
enced the trouble of paying for searches,
and then having the property redeemed
by the original owners. The titles to all
unredeemed pieces of properly held by
the CITY will be secured in few weeks,
when there Is no longer any prospect OF
the owners redeeming them.

May End in n Divorce.

rumors that Mr.. Hayward Hall will soon
begin proceedings for divorce or separa-

jamie Garmany of Savannah. 1n-
stead of the couples being away
on their long-delayed honeymoon, as
had been limited, it now appears
that they have separated, and
that in the future they will live as
far apart as they have during the five
years which have elapsed since their we'd
ding. The reason for this unhappy state
of affairs has not vet been given out by
either side.
