SOME QUEER POLICE WORK.

There was an exceedingly lively skirmish
at the East T~hirty-third Street Station OF
the Central Railroad Company in Bayonne
last night. j. r. Felt. of the Felt Electro
tipping Company, of No. a5 Rose street, New
York, lives in Bayonne, and he has an ex-
tensive matrimonial career. He has been
married three times, and two OF his wives
are now living.
His second wife was waiting on the plat
form of the East Thirty-thlrd Street STATION,
Bayonne, when he and his third wiIe, lot
merly Miss Annie Irene Hewitt, got OF the
train.
Mrs. Felt No. 3 stood at the top of the sta
ton platform stairway with a satchel In one
hand. She pointed at the couple ascending
the stairway, and startled a crowd OF wed
ding guests at the station by calling OUT 10
Felt:-"You are my husband"
Mrs. Felt No. 3 chung to her husband.
ssCome on, Annie, dearest; don't mine that
woman said Felt, when he recovered from
his surprise. Mrs. Felt No. 8 mustered up
her coursge and loudly said, Hes my hus-
band" T.,
Mrs. Felt No. 2 dropped her satchel and
Jumped at her successor. Just as the angry
woman was about to grasp the youtnIul
bride Felt dropped the bundles he was carry
ing and pushed her aside.
Mrs. Felt No. 2 accidentally stepped on the
train of her gown while trying to recover
her equilibrium, and sat down on the plat
form. Felt hastily gathered up his pack
ages and fed down East Thirty-third street
with his third wife.
Mrs. Felt No. 2 chased the couple to Ave
nue. c., where they eyaded her by boarding a
trolley car. Then she went to the office OF
DR.. Samuel l. Myers at Avenue Z and East
Thirty-third street, where she remained a
few minutes.
She appeared later at the home of the
Rev. Charles NJ. Anderson, Pastor of the
First Methodist Church in Avenue Z, and
asked for protection, asserting that her
former husband and his new wife would
iniure her seriously if they found out where
she was. She was hysterical. and alarmed
the members of Pastor Anderson's family.
Felt and Wife No. 3 rode a few blocks on
the electric car, and alighted when they
saw Patrolman Thomas WhaleD. Felt ap-
pealed to him to arrest his former wife for
disorderly conduct. Accompanied by Felt
and Wife No. 3 the policeman sought Mrs
Felt No. g.
Thu trio met her just as she was leaving
Pastor Anderson's residence. Patrolman
Whalen escorted the entire party to Police
HEADQUARTERS, where they were detained by
Sergeant Van Horn to answer charges OF
disturbing the peace.
Chief of Police Mcneil finally paroled the
discarded wife. Councilman Philip Lam
brewer gave bail for Felt for action by the
Grand Jury. He held the woman in the
same bail, but she was unable to furnish it.
After she had shed many tears, the Record
er released her on parole, and sent an officer
to place her on a trolley car to take her
home to Harrison.
Wife No. 2 is an English woman. She said
that Felt was first married to her sister,
twelve years ago. After the death OF her
sister, she became his wife. They then lived
in Harrison, N. ].
On April 8, 1892, Felt suddenly left home,
and without any explanation took up his
abode at Salt Lake City, Utah. After the
lapse of the required time he brought suit
against her for divorce, and by default
obtained a decree and returned to New YORK
CITY.
A few months ago she vent to the New
York Supreme Court and tried to have the
Utah decree set aside. She also applied Tor
a divorce from Felt and asked for allmony,
basing her case upon his alleged bigainous
marriage to Miss Hewitt.
The case was referred to Commissioner
Holbrook, whose report was adverse to her.
Felt asserts that since she lost her case his
discarded wife has frequently annoyed him
at his place of business and in the streets.
In speaking of the affair to a JERSEY
CITY NEWS reporter, Mr.. Felt said;-
THAT woman is no more my wife
vorce from her a year ago in Salt Lake
City. She brought suit in the Supreme
Court of New York to have the decree
broken also to get %alimony, but she was
defeated by the decision of Referee Hol-
brook. She has from time to time been
the source OF much annoyance to me.
I'm not DESTROYS of Furnishing her, but |
want her to stop annoying me, was
forced to get a divorce from her, and | have
my two children by my first wife here
with me row. l have married again. |
did not strike the woman, but when she
went to grasp my wife by the throat pushed
her and she tripped herself and fell
