AGAINST HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Burdock Testifics for the Man
Her Jealous Husband Whipped.

1t is rather out of the ordinary to see
a mans wife testify against him in a
criminal court, and take sides with q
man accused of paying her attention.
This morning in Justice Potts Court
Theodore Burdock of No. 1852 Second
street, was arraigned to answer a
charge of assault and battery on George
Halligan of No. 546 Grand street 1t ap-
pears that last Monday evening Burdock
met his wife and Halligan on Jersey ave-
nue. together. Without moments hest
tation he proceeded to abuse Halligan
and call his wife vile names. A free
fight ensued in which Halligan was worst
ed. Mrs. Burdock made her escape the
moment the fight began. Halligan testi-
fed this morning that 'Burdock was jeal-
Gus of him without cause. He has been
keeping company with Burdock's daugh-
ter, and on the night the assault was
committed had been out walking with
her. They met Mrs. Burdock and the
young lady having some shopping to do,
left Halligan with her mother, promis-
ing to meet them again in few minutes,
and in her absence, Burdock came along.
Mrs. Burdock substantiated Halligan's
story and declared that her husband was
insanely jealous of her. Burdock insist
ed that Halligan was too intimate with
his wife, and that he went with his
daughter as a blind. Justice Potts com
mitted him to await the action of the

NEW YORK AVENUE FLOODED.
The Sewer Has Not Been Cleaned in
Fifteen Years

The New York avenue sewer has again
caused the residents along that and the
adjoining thoroughfares much trouble
and annoyance, besides doing consider
able damage. After every heavy rain
storm it IS always the same, and will
continue to be so until the sewer Is
cleaned out.
Ex-Commissioner Helm says the sewer
has not been cleaned since 1t was laid,
fifteen years ago, and there must be at
least from a foot to foot and half of
mud in the pipes. He further said, that
if it was only cleaned out it would be
plenty large enough to carry off the
water.
This is the same sewer that the West
Hoboken people want to connect their
main sewer with, which they received
permission to do from the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners. They would
have undouhtedly ly-- had the connection
made up this time, but for a mass meet
ing of the citizens, which protested
against it and petitioned the Mayor to
rescind the action of the Commissioners.
When the attempt is made to connect
the two sewers, residents living upon the
streets drained by the sewer will apply
for an injunction to stop the proceedings.
The recent storms flooded the cellars
of the houses on the Heights, but also
damaged about $500 worth of -four in sew
eral bakeries. Mr.. Braun, on Franklin
street, loses about 5000 worth of flour.
A petition is to be sent to the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners, ask
ing them to look into the matter and
give it their immediate attention.

DRY DOCKS ALL RIGHT.
Quite big Enough 10 Land Our Big
0esf War Ships.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 1S94-There Is
no alarm at the Navy Department over
the published statements that the Gov
ernment Dry Docks at various naval
stations are of insufficient size to con-
tain the new warships which must be
frequently docked in order that their
hulls may be kept free from corrosion
and speed reducing growths. 1t was
claimed among other things that the New
Yorg could be foated in but one Gov
ernment dry dock, and then only at the
maximum spring tide, and then only
after she had been lightened by removal
of coal and other heavy stores. Fhe ar
gument was also advanced that the New
York once in dock would be competed
to stay there for month, WaltlnB Ior
another spring tide to float her out again
but the New York herself demolished
the argument by floating out at ofdln-
ary high tide without the slightest oll-
ficulty.
Officials familiar with the docking IA
ciIitjes of the navy declare that the de-
partment depth of these docks has al.
ways been determined by the dfaft OF
the depth of water at the entrance to
the harbors in which they are slLuatea;
When the stone docks at Norlolk ana
Boston were built in 1884, no snips IN ne the
navy drew over 25 feet OF water, ana
the docks were made 25 feet lnches
deep. The stone dock at New YORK
built twenty years later, was given tne
same depth and the wooden dock built
at the same place only a few years ago
was made but six inches deper. me
new dock now under construction In New
York will have a depth of 2S feet, the
new one at Puget Sound viii nave ~
feet. and the one at Port Royal, SC, VIII
have but 26 feet, these figures being
governed by tn actual depth OF water
in the harborS.
The dock at Mare Island is twenty
eight feet deep, and the one to be CON-
monced next year at New Orleans VIII
have to be provided with an entrance
gate to keep out depth of forty-tWo feet
Of the Mississippi River floods. All these
depths refer to the mean annual hlgh
tides, being the averages for every day
for a long period of years. Naval Of
ficers declare that comparisons with
British dry docks are worthless, as all
measurements of these docks are given
for minimum spring tides, and besides
the British harbors are deeper
The dock at Portsmouth is called the
deep dock, and is 411a feet deep at
spring tide At Chatham the dock is %
feet, but it would be absurd for the
United States to go to the expense OF
building so deep a dock at New York
when vessels of 80 feet draft could not
enter the harbor At present the maxi
mum draft of American men-of-War IS
27 feet, and it is not believed that deeper
vessels will hereafter be designed for the
Government, but the tendency will be
towards smaller ships, which can enter
more of the harbors of the United States
and South America.

Cantain wan Hanneken.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 1S94-Captain
Won Hanneken, who is reported as
wounded in the great naval fight at the
mouth of the Yalu River, was a pas
senger on board the British ship Kow-
shing, which was sunk by the Japanese
man-of-war Naniwa while transporting
Chinese troops to Corea at the outbreak
of the war. In an official report made

He had a lot of conversation with the

ness, although he told me that he had
nothing to do with them He acted as
