A MUCH-MI1ED FAMILY ROW.

Sisters-in-Law and Husbands Get Things
Badly Mixed.
Five years ago John Friedman married
a girl who is now Mrs. Silverstein. III
Poland. The marriage turned out I'M
pleasantly, and they did not live in har-
mony stogether. So it was mutually
agreed four years later that divorce pap
ers be signed. after which Jonn ieI1
POLAND and his wife remained. Mrs. Ber-
man. a sister of Mrs. Friedman's, came
to America and settled at No. 1913 Steuben
street, this city, and Immediately wrote
to her sister, saying that this was sucn d
glorious country that she ought TO settle
here. So Mrs. Friedman crossed the
water and came to her sisters house.
Mrs. Berman's husband was determined
that Mrs. Friedman should marry a GER
taiu baker in this city named Silverstein,
but when Mrs. Friedman was
TO the young man, she concluded mo- TO
bestow her affections upon him, although
he earnestly solicited them. When Ber-
man found tina his sister-in-laW would
nor accept his friend, the baker, he be-
came furious, and informed Mrs. Fried
man that if she would not consent to be
mistress over Silverstein's household.
that she might clear out. so she cleared,
and cleared to New York. Inside
Of a month, when her funds
gave out, she reGurueu W Aer
brother-in-law'5 home, aud ttold him that
she had decided to accept Silversteln as
her husband. But she struck q snag. for
Berman declared that he would not have
it so now, that the day was too late, and
she must remain a forsaken widow. But
she decided not to remain as such a thing,
and, regardless of leap years or anything
of the sort, proposed to Sllverstein. He

Macs tied the knot.
Then tho newly welded Mrs. Silver
stein issued a warrant for Berman's ar
rest, stating TO Justice Macs that he had
boxed her ears hard when she took a
walk one evening with Silverstein, her
much loved hubby. Also a warrant was
issued for Liechen Berman, a sister of the
bad Berman, for having hit Mrs. Silver
stein on the head with a rocking chair.
Then another was issued on Bernaan him.
self for being implicated in assisting his
sister in boxing Mrs. Silverstein's ears.
Michael Golderich went bail for the
three, under $500, for the trio to appear
before the Grand Jury.
Berman is using all his influence now
to induce Silverstein to leave his new
wife, as BIZ charges her with things re-
lecting against her character The affair
is much mixed up.

To judge from the morning paper
reports, the Chicago show starts off
SO dismal a failure that the Windy
CITY, has to resort to wholesale lying
to cover up its humiliation. Aprar-
emily there is next to nothing to see as
yet except mud and an inchoate mass
of unfinished odds and ends. Besides,
there is next to nobody to see it. The
Exposition exists in theory and the
crowds are on paper. The only reality
is the colossal expenditure of borrowed
money.
1t is quite possible that the infamy
of this things begetting may workou
its own punishment.

TRENTON, May 8, 1893.-Mrs. Sham,
who is in the County Jail under susplc-
ion of having poisoned her son John
with mercury, passed u quiet day yester-
day. and was visited by ner sister, Mrs.
Gray. and Councilman Updike. of Prince
ton, the latter being the husband of Mrs.
Shann's stepsister, the daughter of the
late William Wyckoff. Mrs. Shanu was
also visited by her counsel, Mr.. Barton.
who held a lengthy interview with her
in her cell in the woman's wing, which
is behind the Court House.
She is still the same mysterious charac-
ter that she was during the period of the
inquest. she shows no emotion, aud in
the lew words that she has exchanged
with the warden she expresses the belief
that her period of lmprisonm ent will be
brief. She slept none during the night,
and before being locked up asked permits
sion to write to her sic3 daughter Mabel
a letter telling her that all would be over
in a few days. Fer hand was steAdy
when she peEned her lines. The warden
says she is the coolest. prisoner he has
ever had under suspicion of such a
crime.

er's husband, who is supposed TO have
ueen poisoned also. No he%adstone marks
his last resting place, but on the grave
lay a large wreath with the word
"father" In immortelles. The flowers
were comparatively flesh, and must have
been placed there since the death of
John. The grave a not been dis
turbed.
The preliminary arrangements for dis
interring the body of the late husband
of Mrs. Sham, are being made, and the
work will be done in a few days. II is
the present intention of the authorities
to hold an inquest on the body of the hus-
band, as the circumstances surrounding
his death, in the light of recent events,
are considered suspicious.
There is some criticism expressed at
the action of the c%oroner's jury in not
charging the poisoning on some person.
Some of the Jurors seemed to holG to the
IDEA that they were trying Mrs. Sham
for the crime of murder, and that if they
voted to charge her with the crime, they
were virtually convicting her.

Roboken's Official Prin ting-Mayor
Fagan,s Mistake.

Hoboken's Official Prin ting-MayoT
Fagan's Mistake.
The course of Mayor Pagan and his
friends in respect to the Hoboken
Eoeaing Neus, is altogether UNIV orthy
of him, and inconsistent with his
course in other matters. In general,
it seems quite plain that Mr.. Pagan
is going to make an excellent May or.
He is going to clean out the sink holes
of iniquity, the policy shops and green
goods dens which flourish in Hoboken,
as they do in Jersey City, and he is
going to introduce economy, order and
vigor into the city administration.
Weare heartily with him in his efforts.
1t will be a pleasure to chronicle the
progress of his good work, to give him
all possible assistance in it and to set
his doings fairly before the public, so
that he may be duly rewarded.
But certainly the course pursued
last night in withdrawing the official
printing of the Police Board from the
Fuening Nee0s and giving it to the
Observer alone can merit only con-
demnation. The Eoening Neos OPP
posed the election of Mayor Pagan,
and it seems painfully plain that it
is now to be punished for its political
course by a diversion of public patron
age, not in the slightest degree justi-
fed by the circumstances of the case.
The Net0s is the only daily paper
published in Hoboken. 1t has, I'M
deniably a large circulation in pro-
portion to the population OF that
city. It has been established for many
years. 1t is one of the established in
stitutions of the city, and it is the
only advertising medium which gets
any recognition worth speaking of
from the business community. Ii
there is any utility whatever in pub
fishing official matter-and it is OBJ
vious that there is a high utility in
such publication-why certainly the
publication should be made in the
Hoboken NeUs, as a matter OF right.
We have nothing to say against the
Observer. We were glad to welcome
its appearance in Hoboken. We think
newspaper competition was needed
there. 1t may be perfectly right
to designate the Observer as well as
the Neos. Far be it from Us to ques-
ton the point. But we insist that
the omission of our respected name
sake is a wrong to it and a wrong to
the public which we hope Mr.. Pagan
will be wise enough to correct.
Public printing in newspapers is
not a picnic or a plum; it is not in
the nature of a subsidy 1t is a mat
ter of business, and on that basis the
patronage belongs to the established,
recognized concerns, which give a
proper return for the outlay. and
politics have nothing TO do with it.
