H~oRsEWHIPPED HIS WIFE

E@
Grave Charges Brought by Elizabeth
Kelly Against Her Husband.
Judge Thomas F. Noonan, on behalf of
Elizabeth Kelly, has begun a suit for abso-
lutte divorce from her husband, John Kelly,
who lives on Poplar street. The complaint
sets forth that Kelly has treated his wife
with extreme cruelty, and that he is an
habitual drunkard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly were married in New
York on May z, 1872, and they nave four
daughters, the Oldest being fifteen years of
age.
When Kelly was first married he had an
extensive junk business, but drink ruined
his business. In 1884 he and his family came
to this city to live, in the hope that Kelly
would reform if separated from old associ-
ates. The experiment proved a failure. Mrs.
Kelly had saved 5000, which her husband
wanted to get possession of. Mrs. Kelly re-
she claims, he locked her in a room until she
did give him the money. He soon spent the
5000 for money for drink.
Mrs. Kelly alleges that after this her hus-
band frequently beat her, and that once he
whipped her with a horse whip, and On an
other occasion he attempted to stab her with
a fork. He subsequently, turned out of doors
his wife and daughters in the middle of the
winter allowing them to wear only their
clothing.
Mrs. Kelly and the girls went in their bare
feet to the house of Mrs. Ryan, a neighbor,
and the exposure made the mother and
daughters SO i'll that they rave never entire
" recovered from the effects.

The Communipaw avenue tracks OF the
Consolidated Traction Company were made
impassabIe by the snowstorm. Before six
o'clock this morning a sweeper, a trolley car
and a gang of men set to work to clear
them. Starting at West Side avenue they
worked up the hill. By o'clock they had one
track cleared as far as Bergen avenue, and
a couple of hours later they had cleared a
path as far as Harrison, Communipaw ave
nue. junction. In this way they were able,
in the course of the morning, to half way
accommodate people desiring to go to the
ferry. The cars could not run ON any
regular time, and persons wishing to pat
ronize them often had to wait for fifteen or
twenty minutes.
At eight o'clock a car started and a gang
of men started on the other track and worked
from the Junction towards West Side ave
nue.. At twelve o'clock they had worked a
path almost to the Boulevard and they

COUNTY EXAMINATIONS.
They Will BE Held This Year at
Harrison.

Harrison.
Tt has been decided that the next regular
examination for the second and third grade
county certificates for teachers will be held
at Harrison on February 2 and 3. The
County Superintendent, the Rev. DR.. George
G. Houghton, wanted the examination to be
held at School No. 2, in Hoboken, but the
School Board in that city obstinately re-
fused to allow it. Pastor Houghton wanted
a class dismissed on Friday, and the board
said this was unnecessary; that If Dr.
Houphton wanted the examination conduct
ed in that school no class should be dis
missed.
So the County Superintendent devised a
little scheme, and now the examination will
take place way out in Harrison, near the d.,
L. g. w. railroad depot. The new school
on Hamilton avenue will be used.
This examination is necessary for those
graduates of the public schools OF the county
who wish to become teachers. First the
county examination is conducted, and then
the second and third grade county certltf-
Gates are received by examination. ~-v~
During the past year there have been
ninety-fOur graduates from the Hoboken
High School who have been examined for
third grade certificates by the County Super
~intendent. These graduates have gone
through 432 county examinations, which has
involved a marking of over 1l,000 legal cap
sheets of closely written matter.
Thirty one Of these are teaching IN county
schools.

%COMMON-SENSE TRUTHS.
An Able Physician Explains the After
Effects of Grip, the Condition in
which it Leaves People, and Ia
Only Thing To Do.

t&-aNFH
sIt is a very slow processI'
The speaker was a prominent physician.
Continuing, he said:
81 mean getting over the after-effects of
the grip. Any one who has seen as much of
it as nave can easily understand it. The
grip lasts for a long time, and seems to take
a special hold upon the system. 1t frequent
ly runs into pneumonia, sometimes leaves the
hearing partially impaired, the throat with
an irritating soreness, and the stomach with
impaired digestion. 1t seems to take a long
time to recover the strength, the energy, or
the ambition after one has had a run of grip,
and we frequently find neuralgia. rheuma-
tism, and even worse things following it.
Nov, what should any sensible man or
woman do under these circumstances? The
answer seems hard, but is really easy. Sim
ply help Nature to get over the trouble
Stimulate the body and faculties just a little.
This is what every good physician in the
land advocates in order to drive grip out of
the system. 1t should be remembered, how-
ever, that the stimulant must be pure, and
that nothing for this purpose is equal to
good whiskey. It is unfortunate, however,
that there is SO little pure medicinal whiskey
to be found, and, in fact, it can be truly said
that there is but one truly medicinal whiskey
upon the market. and that is Duffy's Pure
Malt. It is not like ordinary whiskey, now
ever much druggists and grecers may say so.
1t has, IN fact, properties possessed by no
other, and is beyond question q stimulant
which can safely and effectually be taken to
prevent the grip or drive away its most dis
astrous after effects.

CHUNG TO THE RIGGING
Perilous Rescue Of a Ship
wrecked Crew-TerFifie
Seas.

New York, Jan. q, 1894.-Steamer
France (Br.) Hadley, London, Jan. 8, with
merchandise to F. W. j. Hurst, arrived at
the bar at one o'clock A. NJ; had strong
westerly gales and high seas throughout the
passage. January ID, lat. As. long. l6, fell IN
with the Norwegian bark Havelock, Captain
Olsen, from Pensacola for Calais, lumber
laden, water-logged; took off the Captain
and crew of seventeen men M brought
them to this port.
Captain Hadley of the National Lin
steamer France tells the following story of
the rescue of the crew of the bark Hayelock
on January b.
1--WE left London on January s. Had
moderate weather on the channel; thence
had strong westerly winds and high seas.
On the 18th experienced a hurricane and
terrific high sea. Stopped engines at four
P. M. Ship drifting broadside to sea.
DISTRESS SIGNALS FLYING.
ssOil was used very effectively. At midnight,
weather undertaking, put ship on her course
again. Bar, %, 20. AT 1:30 P. NJ. of the
18th, Lat. 1888, Long. 1912, observed a YES
sci to the S. w. with distress signals flying,
Immediately bore up, and upon getting close
to her could see all the crew
standing on part of a deck house
and hailing us to send a BOAT, Inc
sea at the time was running high from the
effects of the hurricane, however, the ships
head was put to the sea and we succeeded IN
launching the forward port boat and sent
her away in charge of Chief Officer, Mr..
Goudie, and four of the crew.
1T was some time before the boat could
approach the vessel, owing to the great
amount of wreckage that was floating around
and hanging by the wire rigging from the
wrecked vessel, but after repeated efforts
the boat was enabled to get near enough so
nine of the crew jumped in and were safely
brought on board, the boat returning for the
remainder, which were also safely brought
on board, they being seventeen in all.
NORWEGIAN BARK.
ssThe captain of the vessel reported that she
was the Norwegian barque Havelock OF
Sandefiord, from Pensacola. During the
hurricane of the day previous the ship leaked
and rapidly filled. To save her from cap
sizing they were obliged to cut away top
masts. The ship was a complete a wreck
owing to the deck cargo getting adrift, and
that they had neither water or provisions,
everything being washed overload. The
ship was fast breaking up and the Captain
wished to abandon her. Thu crew were COM
PEELED to take to the rigging until they were
fortunately rescued.
stBy five P. M. succeeded in getting the
boat on board again and proceeded on our
course, having accomplished the rescue in
about three hours.
I'm conclusion, | may mention that the
boats crew, under the direction of the chief
officer, deserve great credit, as it was with
great difficulty and danger they could APP
proach the wreck, owing, as previously
stated, to the amount of wreckage about
her. together with the high sea that was
running at the time"

POTTERS STAND R
No Signs of Weakening Among the
Strikers.
Special to the Jcyscu Citu Neal

Special to the Jersey City Meas.
TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1s94.-There were no
new developments in the pottery trouble
yesterday. A meeting of the Advisory Com
mittee was held, and it was decided to meet
twice a week hereafter. The next meeting
will be held on Tuesday evening. Meetings
of the local unions. and OF the different
branches are being held every day.
W. o. Goodwin, president of the Potters'
National Union, was seen at the club house
on North Clinton avenue last night, and he
expressed himself as certain that the out
come would be a victory for the men.
He based his views on several features OF
the situation. The packers, warehousemen
and other workers who nave been unor-
ganized have all now formed organizations
and are represented in the Advisory Com
mittee.
All the different branches are united on
the one position, n every man is standing
firm, with no talk of wavering anywhere.
The President spoke particularly OF the
reduction being SO great that it was a strong
point in their favor. He declared the new
prices to be below living wages, and that
there was no danger of "scabs' coming in
and accepting the boss p~otters' proposition.
According to his statement the men at all
other pottery centres are firm in their re-
fusal to go to work on the reduction made.

Business Men Meet and Take Action
Against the Gas Company.
A meeting was held last night at the rooms
of the Board of Trade by the Business Mems
Association. Among those present were
Jacob Ringle, President; Edward f. Hoos,
j. Thompson, Mr.. De Jong, George B.
Stevens, j. E.. Bernstein, H. Lewis, J.. E.
Washburn, G. S. Furst, Mr.. Van Nortrict,
B. Benjamin and Mullins & Co.
After some discussion it was decided that
all the stores represented by the association
SHOULD close at seven o'clock during the
month of February, and that at the expira-
ton of hat time further action shall be
taken.
Mr.. J. E. Bernstein of the s'Boston' offered
a resolution to the effect that the merchants
shall do something to relieve the distress of
the poor in this city. The resolution pre-
vailed, but further action was postponed
until next week, owing to the small attend
ance last night. A special meeting will be
called n some concentrated action will be
taken in this good work. No plan or sug-
gestion was offered last night, but one will
be formulated by the time of the speci
meeting.
The merchants discussed the price of gas
and agreed that the company was charging
too much for light. The merchants will
make a hard fight against the gas company
unless a compromise IS effected. The asso-
citation will also endeavor to have stores that
are opened in this city for only two or three
months pay taxes. They claim that it is
wrong for merchants who remain here per-
m~anently and pay taxes to be compelled to
compete with these fake stores that are under
very little, or, rather, no expense in support
ing the city government, but who receive
the same protection and advantages afforded
the heaviest taxpayers. So
II vya alec dpaI1n1 that q a0rnmittop
should wait on Vice President Young of the
Consolidated Traction Company, to petition
him to put on more cars and run them more
frequently than is now being done

SOMERS' TRUCKS.
Captain Farrler Says They
Violate the CilY's
Ordinance.
sCRAMBLING FOR LICENSES.
Street and Water Charlie Says the
Vehicles Do Not Belong
to Him.
SCRAMBLING FOR LICENSES

A few LAYS ago Captain Farr1er, OF tne
First Precinct, directed Policeman Quinn to
secure from Justice O'Donnell a warrant for
the arrest of Charles J. Somers, a truckman,
and also a member of the Board OF Street
and Water Commissioners, who, he alleged,
was ~obstructing Warren street at Essex by
placing at least a dozen trucks along the
curb.
The Captain directed Quinn to particular
ly call the Courts attention to the TACT tnaU
the trucks were drawn each side OF the nre
hydrant, making approach to it impossible
Justice O'Donnell refused to issue the war
rant, declaring that to his personal knowl-
edge the trucks had been permitted to re-
main on the street for at least three years
without any complaint being made.
LITTLE LATE.
The Court believed it a rather late date to
make the discovery hat a city dlnan
was being violated, and now Captain Far
rier, who has been engaging in a little war
with Justice O'Donnell, is mad.
He swore and declared such a course was
a mockery of law.
Subsequently, he declared that Mr.. Somers
operated at least a dozen trucks and never
took out a license for a single one.
The Captain knew what he was talking
about. He made this statement on Monday
last, and in some way it reached Commis-
sioner Somers' ears. Fearing the Captain
would cause some annoyance to the truck
men, he hurried to City Clerk Scott's office
and took out licenses. COMMISSIONS Som
ers is not supposed to be connected with the
trucking business, but he took out the iicen-
ses, lust the ame The two taken out by
him were Nos. 1856 and 1877. Large sums OF
money awe been paid to Peter Somers and
Charles Somers for trucking by the city.
COMMISSIONER soMERSN o IN IT.
Commissioner Somers says he has no IN
terest in the business, and declares. that 1t IS
conducted by his brother Peter, and his
father, whose name is Charles.
Last year, although the Somers used at
least ten trucks, but one license was taken
out. The records in City Clerk SCOTS office
show that it was issued on March 30, 1898, to
Cooper & Somers. All licenses expire on
July 1, and the fact that Commissioner
Somers should take out licenses at this time
is regarded as an acknowledgement that he
has been evading the law since July ], 1888,
at least. The licenses cost only Sl.50, and
Captain Farrier has been smiling to himself
that he has been instrumental in increasing
the city's treasury to the extent of S.. The
CAPTAIN is on the war path for the Somers
truckmen, and he intends seeing to 1t that
every one of the trucks used by the family
in the trucking business shall be licensed,
even if he is unable to prevent them from
obstructing the street.
