The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-01-03

off from Jersey avenue on the south slde,
between Railroad and Newark avenues, ex-
tending back to Varick street. The houses
in Clark place are, with but one or two ex-
ceptiops, small brick cottages, and are oc-
cupied by a respectable and agreeable lot OF
tenants. No. u has been the home of the
father and mother of William Gw1nneu Tor
a number of years. William Gwinnell after
marrying remained at home with his parents.
and it is at this house that the events which
precipitated the separation of Gwinneu and
his wife occurred.
William E. Gwinnell, WIN is an attache
of the motive power department OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, doing duty at the
Point of Rocks round house, was united IN
marriage two years and eight months ago to
Miss Minnie Baker of Wayne street. Gwin-
nell took his young wife to the home of his
parents in CLARK place and matrimonial bliss
followed them until the Thursday preceding
Christmas Day.
WANTED TO GO TO A WEDDING.
Miss Bakers parents kept a few select
boarders, and among them was an attractive
young man named Charles Wauzenreld.
Wauzenreid was married to a Miss Maggie
A. Wyckoff of Prospect Plains, New Jersey,
on Christmas Day. The Thursday proceed
ing the marriage, Wausenreid gave Mrs.
GWinnell an invitation to his wedding. Mr..
Gwinnell was included in the invitation.
Mrs. Gwinnell expressed a desire to
attend the ceremony and insisted upon
her husband accompanying her. He replied
that he would, provided he could get the day
off, and also secure a pass to Prospect Plains.
Mrs. Gwinnell did not like the appearance OF
affairs and frequently urged her husband to
make up his mind to go, pass or no pass.
Mr.. Gwinnell remained obdurate and insisted
upon the fulfilment of the original provisions
Of his agreement to attend. The day pre-
ceding Christmas Gwinnell asked to get off,
and also asked for a pass. Both applications
were refused by hard hearted railroad Off
Gals. Disappointed and downcast, he i'm
parted this knowledge to his wife, supple
menting it by saying that he could not afford
to take the time off and pay his fare to Pros
pect Plains.
MRS. GwINNELL's DISPOSITION.
1t was then that Mrs. Gwinnell asserted
the rights vested in all women. Mrs. Gwin-
nelfs hair is inclined to be red, and in this
instance it is symbolical of a fiery DISPOSE
ton. She was going to go to that wedding
whether school kept or not. Christmas
morning her husband kissed her good bye
and departed for work. He hasn't kissed
her since nor is he likely to very soon. Mrs.
Gwinnell donned her best bib and tucker and
assisted by her mother-in-law who dressed
der hair, started for the scene of the we'd
ding. As she was leaving her Clark place
home she turned to her mother-in-law and
said:
IN say good bye to you forever, Tor L
never expect to come back again.
So far she has been as good as her word.
She has not returned yet to the home in
Clark place.
When Mr.. GwinneIl returned from his
work Christmas night his mother said to
him:
t..Minnie went to the wedding, after all.n
81 didn't think she would do it," replied
Gwinnell.
MET HIS TRUANT WIFE.
Tuesday came and went, and no Mrs.
Gwinnell appeared. Thursday even
ing Mr.. Gwinnell, vino was in
anything but an amiable frame
of mind, went out for a walk. Hap
pening ON Fourth street, he came face TO
face with his truant wife, who was in COM
pany with another gentleman and his
wife. He asked her if She intended staying
away from him altogether, and her reply,
he says, was:-
".Oh, you shut up your mouth,"
While Mr.. Gwinnell was recovering from
his surprise the trio disappeared. Gwinnell
at once repaired to his home and had insert
ed the notice which prevents his once loving
wife having anything charged to him in
future.
Mrs. Gwinneu, it is said, is living with her
parents, who reside on Henderson street
Mrs. Gwinnell could not be found last
night to give her version of the separation.
Mr.. Gwinnell has not decided as yet whether
he will take legal steps against his wife.
Clark place is greatly excited over the. affair
and some of the n~eighbors intimate that
there is more in tlae trouble than will be dis
closed yet for sonae time to come.
