PRINCE AT A CARNIVAL.
George Joerns Asked His Wife for 1
Dollar to Get a Costume.

George Joerns Asked His Wife for a
Dollar to Get "a Costume.
Mrs. Elise Joerns, the defendant in the di-
vorce suit brought against her by her hus-
band, George Joerns. occupied the witness
Gerry Chambers before Vice-Chancellor Pit
ney. She testified that while she was living
at No. 56 Bloomfield street, Hoboken, Mr..
Louis Stein, mentioned as correspondent
in the case, often called to collect the rent OF
the house.
Witness then detailed the circumstances
under which Mr.. Stein came to board at her
house. Her husband accepted him as a
boarder, and objected at first because of the
inconvenience. She specified the acts of her
husbands cruelty, which forced her to sepa-
rate from him. He was lazy and wouid not
work, and she could not afford to keep him.
Mrs. Joerns was telling the court that her
husband asked her for a dollar to go as
prince at a carnival, when Joerns stood up
and, pointing his finger at his wife, said:-
THAT woman tells a big lie.n
s.Stop that!' cried the Vice-Chancellor.
tsIl nave no demonstration of that sort here.
Your counsel will take care of you"
Joerns sat down, muttering that it was a
shame his wife was permitted to say what
was not true.
Mrs. Joerns told of her attempted suicide,
and said that it was her husbands ~ill-treat-
ment which drove her to such a deed.
While witness was testifying, the Vice
Chancellor espied one of Vredenburg & Gar
retson's office boys sitting in the rear of the
court with a cigar in his mouth.
Il see,'' said The Court, Indignantly, some
one with a cigar in his mouth. That's an in
suit to the Court. Get out at once, sir,' And
he emphasized the order with a sharp rap
with his gavel.
The young limb of the law got out in a
hurry.
Some ~unimportant testimony was then in.
troduced, and the case was adjourned until
March j.

JERSEY TAILLEss CATS.
There Are Many of Breed in
Trenton and Bordentown.

- HUN = 1880
Trenton and Bordentown.
There are in the city of Trenton and Bor-
dentown a number of tailless cats which have
aroused considerable curiosity. A writer
gives the following explanation Of the breed:
sBut few residents of New Jersey know
that a tribe of tailless cats make their homo
on Long Beach, better known as Barnegat.
Along in the early part of this century a
large British brig ran into the surf that beats
a continual tattoo on Barnegat shores, and
there she became a total wreck. Among the
things chat came ashore from the Inflated
ship were a number of cats.
eBarnegat at that time was a barren,
almost ~uninhabited island, covered with a
dense growth Of timber, a great deal of
which still remains. The cats that SWAN
ashore were ofsprings of a curious breed
found only on the Isle of Man, and were
known as Manx cats to the sailors of the
brig. At first the animals were quite tame,
and ~frequented the vicinity of the light
house, where they nightly held open air con-
certs that were not harmonious enough to
merit the appreciation of the light-keepers,
and ultimately resulted in their being driven
away The felines took to the woods and
managed to subsist the first winter on birds,
thousands of which lived in the wanps The
cats increased rapidly in number, and in a
few years small packs of them could be found
almost anywhere in Barnegat's woods.
ssThe outdoor life made them savage, and
the breed seems to nave increased in both
size and courage, for eventually they became
so fierce that they would stand and show
fight towards anyone who invaded their
home. They are curious-looking creatures.
The front legs being shorter than their
hind legs, causes them to make big jumps as
they go about, yet it is said they can easily
outifun an ordinary dog. Their tails are
missing close to the body.
ssThe cats make good fishermen, and when
fish are plentiful they go along the beach,
and as the breakers run up on shore. carry
ing with them small butterfish, mullets and
silver bait, they jump into the shallow
water and with their sharp claws pin a fish
to the sand, and the outgoing awe leaves
breaker can roll in, they catch the, fish
ann take it up on the dry beach and devour
it. At times dozens OF these strange looking
cats can be seen on the beach making meals

For the past four weeks stories
have been circulated to the effect
that the Government would send 8
detachment of regulars to Maui to
enforce the payment of taxes. The

times but nary soldier was sent.
Now it is said that the military
will be sent on the next trip of the
vessel.
Attorney General Smith has
stated that no soldiers will be sent
to Maui. The report originated
from the fact that Sheriff Andrews
has made several business trips to
this city.
