AlimonY from Her Husband.
Mrs. Mary M. Potter of No. 222 Halla-
day street, Jersey City, through her
counsel, Mr.. w. R. Barrlcklo, has filed
bill for alimony against her husband,
George H. Porter, mechanical engineer,

Vice Chancellor Emery this morning.
Mrs. Porter says that her husband de-
serted her in May last, leaving her to
support herself and two children on IS

adequate. Her husband, she said, owned
two houses and three lots on Halliday
street and his business, which brings
him yearly income of about $500 or
Sc, 00o He was able to support her by
giving her at least $25 week.
Senator Foster M. Voorhees,, represent

he could give any more. In the answer
Mr.. Porter said that he had eight chill

THAT WIRE TO BOSTON

While Foley Was at the Key.
Offer Of a Bribe.

Chief of Police Murphy is investigating
a peculiar occurrence in connection with
the raid upon the fake Jersey City
Stock Exchange in Exchange place on
Saturday 1t is probable that explana-
tions will be in order from certain en-
ployes of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
AS was told in 1.-THE News on Satur-
day. Superintendent of Telegraph Will
lam Foley kept in constant communica-
tion with the Boston offices for nearly
two hours with the idea of keeping those
connected with the offices in that city
on deck until such time as Chief of Police
Eldridge and his men could make a raid.
1t was also explained that the wires
from the office of the exchange in this
city, which connected with Boston. ran
through the Western Union office on Ex-
change place.
While Foley was communicating with
Boston he noticed certain breaks.
''Some one is cutting in on my wire at
frequent intervals he remarked to Chief
Murphy. "It is some one near by. can
tell by the noise of the ticker. 1t shows
heavily charged batteries"
Chief Murphy scratched his head and
suddenly recollected that he had wired
Chief Eqdridg,e of the raid here, and
urged him to lose no time at his end.
While the Chief was trying to tigure
out the circumstance, Foley was as
tonished by having some s one ne ask over
mo, I know Foley, though I am Slat-
terry. a Western Union man. and intend
to stick to my post" was the prompt
@Oh, come off, Billy, we're ON to you.
What are you trying to give us?' was
sent back.
The peculiar part of the occurrence is
zant of Foley's presence at the instru-
ment in this city, the Boston operator
continued asking for quotations and they

planned, Chief Murphy says. He does

Carrie Miller's Blighted
Heart.

Jacob ]. Wittpenn, who keeps a gro

and resides above it, committed suicide
at $50 O'Clock this morning. A few, min
utes before that time he was talking
more cheerfully than was his habit to
the loiterers in the saloon of John Smith,
next door to the grocery. He then passed
upstairs, spoke cheerfully to his wife,
making no farewell speech nor giving any
hint concerning his intentions.
He continued his way to room on the
top floor and at the rear of the house
Here he threw himself upon his back
on the bed and with S2-calibre revolver
shot himself in the right temple.
His wife heard the report of the pistol
and ran upstairs. She shrieked and faint

He arrived in a few minutes, but could
do nothing. The man, he said, died in

downward course and pierced the base
of the brain.

draughts to Mrs Wittpenn, who had re-

her dead husband The woman is quite

Mr.. Wittpenn was a hard drinker up to
year or two ago, and had so weakened
his system that life became a burden to
him. His nerves were entirely unstrung,
