Prospective Lockout Of Fifth
Avenue Journeymen Tailora
Their Bosses viii Reduce Wages
10 Per Cent. Next Week.
The Men May Decide to Resist the
Cut at To-Night's Meeting.

There is just possibility that mon 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 tailors as John Pat
terson & Co.. Merwin & Co. Matthew
Rock, A. j. Conrnick, Everall Bros, and
Jules Weise & Co.. have already given
notice Of a reduction and 1t 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 q special meeting to be
held at 231 East 1'hirty-third street this
evening. and II 1t is determined to hold
,,, out for present wages, II is generally
The merchant taiiors argue that they
have been obliged to cut prices on
clothing and that the tailors should
made several months ago when a cut of
Is 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. l. there Is and VIII be scarcely
anything to do. so the merchants claim
that II the men will not accept 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
Spring they have been collecting a de-
tense fund. which now amounts to
$50 0OO.
John B. Lennon, Secretary of the
Union, said to-day that the members
are in a good position to fight, but he

WHO OWNS WEDD|NG GIFTS?
Novel Suit Brought by Mrs. Meiss-
ner in Common Pleas Court.
She Prays for a 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 Meissner.
The parties were married about a year
and a 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 talk
ing the furniture. claiming 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 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 Wagener's proposition Is a
novel one: he argues that the prop
erty belongs to the husband and wife,
eontending that Il cannot be severed or
lhdt edCI mas tHc inter-
est therein as the other; that in this
respect the property stands in the po-
sition or 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
to recover the clothing of the wife from
the husband and her other individual
property, furniture and bedding.

JUDGE BEERS wins.
Awarded $400 Damages for De-
tention on the Normannia.
He Was Guaranteed During the
Cholera Scare Of 1892.
The London Agents Said No Steer
age Passengers Would Sail.

Judge Addison Brown in the United
States District Court this morning
handed down a decision in a case which
at the time 1t was brought attracted
world wide attention because of its con-
nection with the great cholera scare OF
1892, and the evident attempt to fix the
responsibility Of ship owners where yes
sells sailed from affected ports.
Judge Alfred B. Beers. Of Bridgeport,
Conn, a first-cabin passenger on the
Normannia. brought suit against the
Hamburg American Packet Company
for damages caused by illness and loss
Of time. This was due to the fact. he
said, that the Normannia carried steer
age passengers after 1t had been repre-
sented to him by the Company's agents
in London that no steerage passengers
were to be taken on the particular trip
for which he purchased his ticket.
Judge Brown in his opinion finds for
Judge Beers, and fxes his damages at
$500. being the estimated amount Of
money he would have earned in the time
which he lost while Ill as the result Of
the excitement and worry following the
discovery that the Normannia had
eleven cases of cholera on board when
she arrived at Quarantine Sept. Is, 1892
The Court holds that while II Is true
that the Hamburg american Company
did not authorize its agents, Smith,
Sundius & Co., of London. to represent
that no steerage passengers were to be
carried, yet 1t Is equally clear that the
agents did SO represent to Beers, and
that he engaged passage with that un-
derstanding
The Company is responsible for the acts
OF its agents and liable for the full
amount Of Beers's damages.

GRIMES OF A CRAZY COUNT.
Damaging Anonymous Letters
Sent to Many Families.
The Author Apprehended After -Four
Years of Police Work.
tBy Associated Pross)


BERLIN, June 22.-The Cologne Ga
zette to-day has caused sensation In
court and other circles by announcing
tina. Count Won Kotze. one of the Mas
ters OF Ceremonies of the Imperial
Court, was arrested on Sunday last on
most extraordinary charge.
The arrest of Count Won Kotze is the
result of four years of patient police in
vestigation.
During all that period members of the
highest aristocracy of Germany have
been in receipt of anonymous letters
and postal-cards. in which the worst
and most 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 a great
number of noble families.
AS a result Of the long police investi-
CATION Count Won Kotze Is charged
with being the author Of these letters.
At the suggestion Of Gen. Won Hahnke.
who personally examined the prisoner.
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 Endorsed by the phy-
sicians, and 1t was shown later that the
prisoners father died in an asylum for
the insane.
The general opinion seems to be that
Won Kotze will be confined in an asylum
and that his arrest will lead to a healing
OF many family wounds.
