POLITICIANS THE CAUSE.
They Responsible For Halter Shat
fer's Failure.

Lewis Shaffer, the halter of Montgomery
and Washington streets, whose failure was
announced in the columns Of THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS, did not, as has been reported,
fail because of poor business. Mr.. Shaffer
was crippled by carrying on his books about
$1,000 owed him, principally by politicians.
1t was not more than a year ago, when
the old OpNeill was in its glory,
that Mr.. Shaffer supplied all the
outing hats. Shaffer was a good fellow.
Politicians lost election bets and bets of all
kinds. The first thing on the tapis was an
order on Schaffer for a hat to satisfy a bet.
The hats were always handed up smilingly
by Shaffer, but the politicians have some
how failed or forgotten to 'hand up" to Mr..
Shaffer. There was a time whenn no politician,
great or small, or a fairly reputable heeler,
did not wear a good hat, a hat
of the latest style. Shaffer was
standing it all and such pleasant remarks as
ssPll be in, Lou, on the first of the month
and settle now haunt Mr.. Shaffer.
That peculiar first of the month on which
the settlement was to have been made has
not as yet arrived. 1t will arrive shortly,
however, as Mr.. Shaffer c~ontemplates TAX
ing the claims into court for collector. When
the names of the delinquent politicians be-
come public property, and are published to-
gether with the date of the purchase of the
hat, the long list will make interesting read
ing matter. aM

KAISER GOT THE BEST OF THEM.

Merry war is being waged between John
Kaiser, who keeps a saloon at the Junction,
and the Consolidated Traction Company.
John utilized the snow storm as a chance to
get in a whack at the company. Yesterday
morning he set a lot Of men at work with
snovels and they soon had the tracks of the
company covered with snow. The company
sent down a sweeper and it was soon back in
front of Johns place. Again he set his men
at work and again were the tracks showed
under. This time the company sent its
scraper, which pushed the snow clean over
into the gutter and made John ripping mad.
The police advised John to desist, but he
would not listen to them. Instead, he again
covered the tracks. This time the company
acknowledged itself beaten and sent dump
carts in which they carted the snow away
and John treated all his friends as he told
them how he got the best of the biggest mo-
nopoly in Jersey City.

RESULT OF A SPREE.
John Brady Tried to Commit suicide
Last Night.

Last Night.
Made crazed and delirious by drink, John
Brady, twenty-eight years old, last night
cut a ragged cash, two inches in length in
his throat. He had been IN a protracted
spree, not having been sober in ten days.
He was employed in the Grifing Iron Works,
but not having attended to his work he was
discharged. He boarded with a Mrs. Kelly
of No. Is Randolph avenue. Yesterday he
drank unusually hard and was raising a
rumpus around the neighborh0od all day
long. Having spent his last cent he went
home last night, drunk, delirious, discoui'-
aged and desperate.
He was apparently out of his mind when
he entered the house, as he was rav1ng like a
~lunatic, and scared Mrs. Kelly SO that she
locked herself in her own rooms. He stag
gered to his room, and throwing himself on
his bed, beloved like a child. Finally he
sat up, and taking an old razor full of
hicks In his hand, he suddenly made q slash
at his throat with it. Bloom spurted from a
small wound. He sawed away with the
blunted instrument until he had made a
cash two inches in width. He had evidently
become somewhat sobered by what he had
done, and desisting, called for his landlady.
She nearly tainted when she saw him,but re-
covering herself fastened after a policeman.
Detective Hottie hurried to the house, tax
ing DR.. George Muttart with him. DR.. Nut
tart. sewed up the wound and ordered
Brady taken to the City Hospital. 1t was
reported there this morning that he Is in a
dangerous condition and likely to die.

The present Grand Jury are keeping up
dictments against many malefactors. They
held a session yesterday afternoon and it is
rumored that true bills were found against
several policy dealers. 1t is also said that
Detectives James Larkins and Michael Nc
Nally of the police department have been in
dicted for having extorted 'hush' money
from a firm of policy dealers in Lafayette,
guaranteeing them protection.
The story is that a New York firm of
policy dealers, Seeing an opportunity, sent
two men to Lafayette to take plays. The
men were named Sanlmon and LYONS and
made their headquarters in Tommy Shields
saloon on Halliday street. where they re-
ceived plays from the policy fiends in that
neighborhood.

toned were detailed to investigate the mat
ter, and after satisfying themselves that

icy business, it is alleged that they con-
| fronted the two men, and an arrangement
| was made whereby the detectives were to re-
ceive $50 a month and not modest the deal
erS. The money was enclosed in an en-
velope, and one of the officers called monthly
| at Shields saloon for it.

=. finally the dealers complained that their
business was falling off, and the money was

CHADWICK'S TRIALS.
His Wife Treated Him in a
Most Disgraeeful Manner,
Poor Man.

The divorce proceedings of Armenia
Chadwick of Paterson against Alfred Chad
wick were resumed this morning before
Vice Chancellor Green in Chancery Cham
bers. Counsellor Emily appeared for Mrs.
Chadwick, who seeks absolute divorce on
the grounds of cruelty, neglect and insanity.
The defendant is principal OF Public School
No. II in Paterson. Chadwick, in August,
1892. decided to seek the aid of a matrimon-
iaI agency on Eighth avenue, New York,
in order to find a wife. He had been
married once before and was blessed with
four children from his first union. At the
time he sought the aid of the. agency Ar
menia Vertlooy of E~llenville, N. Y, was
after a husband tooth and nail. She en-
countered Chadwick. She was charmed by
his whiskers. Chadwick kind of liked
Armenia. The knot was TIED and since then
there has been a monkey and a parrot OF a
time.
Chadwick SAYS he was driven insane by
his wife, and she has come to the conclusion
that she was insane not to know that he was
insane when she married.
THEIR WEDDING SUPPER.
Mrs. Chadwick charges that the day OF
their marriage her husband made an attempt
to find suitable quarters and that farther he
furnished a wedding supper which consisted
of prunes and water principally.
Chadwick was put on the stand in his own
defence this morning. He admitted many
of the accusations made against him by his
wife, but denied more. He said that on
MAY 10, 1893, he had to be removed to the
Morris Plaias Asylum. On the following
July he was released. Before he was placed
in an asylum he testified that his
wife's treatment Of him was awful.
She called him a hog and playfully referred
to his four little children as pigs. He de-
clared that frequently in the middle Of the
night his wife would jump up in bed and
pour pitchers of cold water over him.. He
accused her of striking him with a hair
brush (the weapon was produced in court,
declared that she tore his clothes to pieces,
scratched his face and shamefully abused
him.
CHADWICK P HER.
On one occasion when he was trying to
quiet a baby his wife attacked him and at
defence he seized her by the hair and bent
her over the back of the bed and slapped
her. He then screamed for help, whereupon
neighbors besieged the house and stopped the
fight.
After he was released from the Asylum,
he declared that his wife continued abusing
him, and accused him of being released from
the Asylum by trickery. On Friday before
Christmas they drew up agreements prom
ising not to fight any more.
The other evidence adduced has been fully
published in THE JERSEY Cry News.
The case will occupy the attention Of the
Vice-C Chancellor for the remainder of the
day.
