reputed wives of J. p. Self. business
man of 25 Rose street New York, who

charges OF assault before Recorder Con-
nelly last night. Mr.. Self and his pres
ent wife arrived last night at the Thir-
ty-third street station, in Bayonne, on
a train over the Central road from New
York. The passengers and others about
the station were surprised to see wom-
an rush up to Mr.. Self and his wife and
attack the latter. Self by a quick move
ment saved his wifes new Summer bon
net by pushing the woman one side. She
claimed to be wife OF Self, and during
the struggle she fell to the ground. The
woman then proceeded to explain to the
times, and that the woman who was
with him was his third wife. She also
said she was Selts second wife. and her
sister who is dead, was his first wife.
During the excitement, Selts compan-
ion ran to the house Of a clergyman; not
the other woman. When she was ar
raiGned before Recorder Connolly. the
two women made counter charges of as
sault, and were required to furnish
bonds to await trial. Wife No. 2 said
obtained divorce in Dakota. She APP
pealed to the courts in New York to
have this decree set aside. and also to o.
allowed alimony. She said the suit was
decided In her favor. and that Self had
not sinoce obtained another divorce. The
only statement Self would make was
that he hhd been legally divorced and

by George Putnam Smith. counsel for E.
5. Stokes, as receiver of the Hoffman
House Company, to punish w. e. D..

pleted, Justice lngraham said he was of
the opinion that no resident of this State
had right to proceed In another State
against the receiver appointed by the

doing he was In contempt.
