An astounding report was submitted by
Chief of Police Murphy showing that

other members. of the department have
lost 1856 lays owing to sickness of one

toned on the report. and he said that
there was not a man on the sick list
who did not have a right to be there.
The men are recovering, and in the
course of a week or so it IS expected
that all the regulars win be on duty
again.
Mayor Wanser's veto of the resolution
placing Daniel johnson, of the Fourth
precinct, on the pension list, owing to
alleged disability, was laid on the table
under the rules. His Honor will prob
ably be sustained IN his veto. Counsellor

MRS. KLEIN's TROUBLES.
Says Her Husband Paid Court to a
Daughter of the Vikings.

says Her Paid Court to a
Daughter of the Vikings.
Mrs. Josephine Klein, who resides in
New York, has brought suit of divorce
against her husband, Clemens Klein, a
merchant living at No. 215 Jefferson
street, Hoboken.
The parties were married in New York
on November 10, 1892, and lived alternately
in Newark and West Hoboken. In the
latter place, at No. COL Railroad avenue,
Mrs. Klein a she discovered
that : her husband was paying
too much attention to Miss Their
esa Christensen, and demonstrated
with him, but to no purpose, excepting
to make the faithless hubby all the more
demonstrative of his affection for the
f~air-haired daughter of the Vikings. Mrs.
Klein would stand it no longer, and left
her husband. She has now commenced
divorce proceedings, and today Sheriff
Toffey, of Hudson County, will serve
the necessary papers on Mr.. Klein and
his fair inamorata. Before Chancellor
McGill, next week, an application will
be made by Mrs. Klein's counsel for ali
mony and counse fees pending the hear
ing of the suit.
The Chancellor will be asked to refer
the cause. and in all probability coun-
sci will ask that the new Vice-Chan-
cellor, John R. Emory, be appointed to
hear the testimony, which promises to
develop some spicy proceedings between
the parties.
Mr.. Klein Indignantly denies that he
has been improperly intimate with Miss
Christensen, and says that his wffe's jeal-
busy has imagined improperly. Miss
ChriSfi1nSnn foo denies 9nV jpfQrCO11rSa
with Mr.. Klein. and proposes to make
it warm for Mrs. Klein.

of Their Work. Marion
Wants an Engine.

The Fire Board held a meeting last
night. All the Commissioners were pres
ent. Little but routine business was
effected. A delegation of citizens from
the Marion section made application Tor
a fire engine to be situated in that part
of the city. Lieutenant A. P. Brown OF
the Marion Republican Club spoke OF
the necessity for some immediate pro-
lection against fire in that locality. He
told of a fire which broke out several
weeks ago on West Newark avenue and
which completely Quilted q building be-
fore the engines arrived, which was
fifty4five minutes after the box was
pulled. The engine nearest the place IS
No. I. which is about a mile and a half
away.
Commissioner Brennan, in reply to the
request made by the Marion people,,
said that at present the financial condi-
ton of the board could not permit n
addition to the department, but as soon
as sufficient appropriations are made by
the Board of Finance, steps would be
taken to locate an engine in Marion.
TOLD TO TRY THE FINANCIERS.
Commissioner Brennan advised the
Marion people to apply to the Finance
Board for relief.
The Marion delegation included Lieu
tenant Brown, W. j. Calhoun, from the
West End Club: and c.. Staderman from
the Citizens District Club.
The Chief Engineer reported that twelve
alarms had been pulled during the past
two weeks. All the warrants for the
pagrolls of the department were passed.
The annual report of the Chief to the
Board of Aldermen was read.
David Hadsall was appointed hoseman
at call TO Engine Company No. IA, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of J. J. Touer. Lincoln Moulton was APP
pointed trucknnan at call to Truck No. 2.

pany No. 13, and detailed to Engine Com
pany No. 5, was fined one days pay for
slandering Lorenzo Joaquin of Company

There are five firernen off duty suffer-
ing with the grip. All the old outstand-
ing claims against the board were pre-
sented and ordered paid, which now
leaves the department free from debt.

he became a member of the board there
was Z standing debt of over $1,000. The
sum has been gradually reduced, and
when the last of the old claims were
ordered paid last night the Commission
ers felt proud that the Jersey City Fire

THE GREAT HYDE ESTATE.
An Immense Fortune Said to Be
Waitiuu nyunerShin I'm Nnria nd.

AT frequent intervals the papers are
full of stories of a fabulous fortune said
to be awaiting ownership and division
among the heirs of the Hude family, who
emigrated from England to this country
early in the eighteenth century. During
all these years the fund, SO it is said,
has been piling up interest until now it
has assumed such vast proportions that
the mind can scarcely gasu it. 1t is as
serted that the nice little plum of $780,
1000 awaits plucking if the right and
proper hand can be found to do the
splucking.
Associations have been formed and
many hundreds of dollars expended in
the effort to determine just who this
money belongs to.
During all these years the sons and
daughters of the Hyde family have
been marrying and given in marriage,
and their children and children's chill
dren, until the roots of the family tree
have struck far and wide, and the mann
of Hyde in the family is Of comparative
ly limited proportions.
1t has frequently been promised that
the rich legacy was just ready to drop
into the lap of the expeetant throng,
and it was to make every body wealthy
from the greatest to the least. But it
never came, and again during the past
few weeks the story has been rehashed
in the public prints. 1t appears that
some of the heirs who desired a
foundation for their faith have sought
Governmental aid, and Secretary of
State Gresham has received a large
number of letters from residents of New
Jersey relative to an article which is al
legged to nave appeared in a Frenchtown
paper on December 9. The article claims
that 'the great Hyde estate" Is about
to be settled in England, and the money
is to be divided among the heirs, Most
of the letter writers claim to be heirs,
and they ask If such an estate exists,
and whether a letter to the United States
Ambassador in London would aid them.
The officials of the State, Postofflce and
Treasury departments regard the whole
scheme as a swindle, but the Secret Ser
vice officials to whom the matter has
been referred, are investigating it.
If the estate us there, and If it is OBJ
tainable, and is of such vast proportions
as is claimed, almost any good, reputable
lawyer would be willing to make the eff
fort to secure it, and make his fee when
the valuable prize was secured. The
opinion has been extant among a large
calls for money to aid in pushing the in
~vestigations and establishing relationship
came from some one who was e~ndeavor-
ing to work a richer mine, and n surer
of quick returns h a the Hyde estate in

the end might possibly cure. 1t is the brave David among men and
