HARD ON THE SMELLS
Prospective Lockout of Fifth
Avenue Journeymen Tailors.
Their Bosses Will Reduce Wages
10 Per Cent. Next Week.
The Men May Decide to Resist the
Cut at To-Night's Meeting.

There is Just a possibility that men of
fashion may be obliged to buy hand-me-
down suits in case the merchant tailors
In the Fifth avenue quarter insist on
carrying out their declared intention OF
reducing wages 10 per cent next week.
Such fashionable talors as John Pat
terson 81 Co.. Merwin & Co. Matthew
Rock, A. ]. Conmick, Everall Bros, and
Jules Weise &c Co.. have already given
notice OF a reduction, and It is believed
that all the other firms in the Merchant
Tailors Exchange will take similar
action.
The Journeymen Tailors Protective
and Benevolent Union will consider the
proposed cut at Il special meeting to be
held at 23l East Thirty-third street this
evening, and if it is determined to hold
out for present wages, 1t Is generally
believed there will be a lockout.
The merchant tailors argue that they
have been Obliged to cut prices on
clothing and that the tailors should
share the loss. The same argument was
made several months ago when cut of
10 per cent. was proposed, but the tailors
held out for no reduction and were VIC
torious.
That was just before Easter, however
when trade was brisk, and tailors there
fore had the advantage. Now and until
Sept. /. there is and will be scarcely
anything to do, so the merchants claim
that IL the men will not accept n re-
duction, shops can be practically closed
until other tailors are secured.
There are about 1000 journeymen in
the union. and since the trouble last

Tense fund. which now amounts to

Union, said to-day that the members

WHO OWNS WEDDING GIFTS?
Novel Suit Brought by Mrs. Meiss.
ner in Common Pleas Court.
She Prays for Receiver, Public
Sale and Division OF Assets.

A very interesting lawsuit has been
commenced in the Court of Common
Pleas of this city by Augusta Meissner
against her husband, Henry Messner.
The parties were married about a year
and u half ago. Since then trouble has
occurred between them, and two days
ago the wife left her husband, attempt
ing to take with her all the furniture.
The husband stopped the wife from taxi
ing the furniture, Calming that 1t was his.
1t now appears that a portion of the
furniture belonged to the wife, and
some of 1t was given to the couple at
the time of the marriage.
The wife retained Counsellor August
p. Wagner, of 80 Second avenue, to
take care of her interests in the matter,
and Lawyer Wagner has now brought
an action in the Common Pleas Court
for the appointment of a receiver for
all articles that would come under the
head OF marriage gifts" and for an
order that the receiver take possession
thereof. sell the same at public auction,
and divide the money between husband
and wife.
Counsellor ,wageners proposition is a
erty belongs to the husband and wife,
contending that 1t cannot be severed or
divided that each has the same inter-
est therein as the other; that in this
respect the property stands in the po-
sition of co-partnership property.
AS no such case has ever been brought
in court before, a great deal of Interest
is manifested in the result thereof.
The motion for a receiver has been
set down for hearing at the Chambers
Of the Court of Common Pleas for
Monday next In the mean time, an
other action has been commenced in
the Seventh District Court OF this city
to recover the clothing of the wife from
the husband and her other individual
property, furniture and bedding.

BERLIN June 22.-The Cologne Ga

court and other circles by announcing
ters Of Ceremonies of the Imperial
Court, was arrested on Sunday last on a
most extraordinary charge.
The arrest of Count Won Kotze Is the
result of four years OF patient police in

During all that period members Of the
highest aristocracy Of Germany have
been II receipt of anonymous letters
and postal-cards, in which the worst
and mott indecent personal accusations
were made, either against the persons
to whom they were addressed or against
their intimate friends or dearest rela-
tives.
Husbands were taught to suspect their
wives, fathers learned to doubt their
sons, daughters began to look with sus-
picion upon their mothers. lifelong
friends were separated and almost ir-
reparable wrong was done In great
number of noble families.
AS a result Of the long police investi-

physicians were sent for in order that
the mental state Of Won Kotze might be
determined. His opinion was that
the master of ceremonies was insane.
This opinion was indorsed by the phy-

The general opinion seems to be that
Won Kotze will be confined In an asylum

LAST weeks forecast as to the prob
able course of Congress IN regard to
legislation at the present seems likely
to be borne out. The Senate is, as it
was at the last session, the controlling
factor in legislation, and a caucus of
the majority of that body has practi-
cally determined that there will be no
tariff legislation of any consequence.
No organized effort will be made to
push the so-called popgun bills, and
no cloture resolutions will be adopted.
On the other hand, the senatorial eau
Gus has decided to present for consid-
Grafton and to press for action bills
dealing with the subjects of bank
ruptcy, the construction of Nicaragua
Canal, tine currency, the admission of
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. the election of United States
Senators by the people, and such 9th
er measures, including the approprla.
ton bills, as may be deemed impor-
tant by the managers constituting the
so-called steering committee. Among
these measures 1t is understood the
bankruptcy bill will haye the right
of way.-Bradstreets.

sion is only a temporary one at best,
