BEATING FOR HIS BRIDE
Shocking Scene on the Street
in Hoboken-No Police
About, OF Course.

Carl Ruck, a young resident of Hobo
ken, who was married three weeks ago,
terminated his honeymoon last night by
administering a public thrasiling to his
bride. The disgraeeful scene occurred
on Washington street, in front of a con-
cert hall. at a time when the thorough
fare was crowded.
Ruck is well known in the lower sec
ton of the city. Mrs. Ruck was a Miss
Hartman before her marriage and lived
Jersey City Heights. The couple were
married by Justice Seymour.
Ruck met his wife last evening in
front of Gantzberg's concert hall. He
had been drinking and was in an ugly
mood. Hot words passed and suddenly
Ruck struck his wife a blow in the face
Then he caught her by the arm and
held her while he administered blow
after blow, but, while Ruck was loudly
denounced for his conduct, no one seemed
to care to interfere.
Mrs. Ruck finally broke away from
her husband a ran into a hallway.
front of the door and remained there
half an hour. During the whole affair
no policeman put in an appearance.
When his wife had disappeared Ruck
A News" reporter found him in a sa-
loon near the City Hall. When asked
why he had beaten his wife, he said
hat she had quietly left the house and
he had followed her to a saloon in New
ark street n then to the concert hall.
He had forbidden her to enter the place,
he said, and she had angered him.
Mrs. Ruck was seen later at her home
in Washington street, near Second street:
II have been married three weeks
she said, and it las been quite enough
for me. My husband has been drunk
ever since our marriage, and he has
beaten me repeatedly. I shall leave him
on Monday. and return to my parents
Mrs. Ruck denied that she had been
in a saloon or that she intended to enter
the dance hail.. She said her husband
WAS unraaSnnahiv Jealous of her.

Committee HEARINGS.
The Washington County Railroad Given Con-
siderable Attention-Olher Matters.

The storm center of the Washington
county railroad controversy was in the
railroad committees room, Wednesday
afternoon and evening Washington
county was we'll represented and each side
of the controversy evidently was fully pre-
pared to put forth its claims at their best
advantage.
Hon. Archibald McNichol of Calais,
smoke in favor of the Washington County
Railroads charter, and Representative
Lawrence of Lubec opposed. Consider
able time was taken up with these argu-
ments. Gen. $. b. Murray of Pembroke
Col. Green and G. NJ Hanson, Esq, of
Calais, favored the renewal of the Shore
Line charter They contended that it
would not be fair to take away the rights
afforded by this charter now when the
enterprise bids fair to obtain success.
| Hard illness and like reasons were given
to show why nothing had yet been done
under this charter. Gen. Leavitt of East
port, and Judge Downes of Calais, OPP
posed a renewal. 1t was contended that
if ANYTHING could be done toward build
ing railroad in Washington county by
those interested in this company, they had
mad ample time in which to do it and
| should not longer be allowed to stand in
the way, for speculative purposes, of those
who would build the road. This part OF
the hearing was very animated, to say the
least.
Among those present from Washing
ton county were Hon. VIM. Nash, c. H.
Campbcll, ID. W. and f. l. Campbell and
+ X. Wilson of Cherryfield, Geo. III.
Coffin of Harrington, DR.. +. H. Chandler
of Addison, A. McNichol, Judge Downes,
Geo. Curran of Calais, Gen. Leavitt OF
Eastport f. f. Church of Cherryiield,
Col Green. Hon. c. b. Rounds of Calais.
Gen. Murray of Pembroke, Geo. Hanson
of Calais, VIM. Freeman of Cherryfieid.
and ok Senator Allen. The hearing was
continued into the evening.
Mr.. Hanson made the opening for the
Maine Shore Company prior to adjourn
ment of the hearing at $50 2. NJ. until
TODAY. He argued that it was not fair to
grant the Washington County Railroad
Co. an enabling act for $500, 600 and to
refuse to renew the charter of the Maine
shore line and an enabling act asking foi
only $500, 600 from the county. The
Maine Shore Line Company contained
representative men of the county. The
county would not, he believed, vote $500,
600 for a railroad. The county should
have the advantage of competition be-
tween the companies. To refuse to renew
the Shore Line charter would destroy
vested rights

Looking Under the Bed.

People tell me-" said Mr.. Glimby,
''that folks don't look under the bed
for burglars as much as they used to. 1
haven't seen anybody yet that can ac-
count satisfactorily for this. One per-
son says that the burglars don't hide
under beds so much as they did, but
that seems a pretty vague sort of state
ment. 1t brings to my mird, however,
the idea that perhaps burglars never
really made practice to any extent of
hiding under beds, and that having
now in an indefinite sort o. way discov-
cred that fact, we are ceasing to look
for them there. However that may be,
| believe the general statement to be
true that we don't look under the bed
for burglars SO much as we did"

THE CINCINNATI Tribune suggests
"that the rise and rule of William L.
Strong in New York city will have Its
bearing upon National politics. Mr..
Strong is an enthusiastic friend of Gov.
McKinley's and one of long standing.
They have much in common. The
mayor of New York is an ardent pro-
tectionist. He believes in the principle
of protection and he believes in William
Mckinley as its foremost and ablest ex.
ponent. He is likely to be in position
next year to be of inestimable service
to the governor"

{ ostly Perfumes.

Mignorette, that at the moment is
perfume greatly in favor for its deli
cate and refreshing fragrance, is com
pounded as well from some of this reg
ular stock in the perfumer's laboratory,
and even violet extract is two-thirds of
it due to the sweetness Of cassie, orris
and altar of almonds, though violet is
the most popular perfume. The true
extract Of the purple flower is made in
France, is costly and only to be bought
at few places in New York. Its rare
sweetness is expressed from the violets
that grow at Cannes and Grassc, where
the mignonette attains what to A1neri-
can eyes is unbelievable perfection of
size, color and odor, and where the
roses owe their sweetness chiefly to the
bees, who sprinkle into their hearts the
pollen from the blooming orange trees

Territorial Treasurer Cole yesterday
received copy of the Cincinnati Com
mercial- Gazette, containing an account
OF the Phoenix railroad celebration. 1t
was regarded as of so much Importance
by that far-away metropolitan journal
in which space Is always at a premium
that whole column was given to
laudatory account OF the celebration,
the city and the country.
This is worth more than tons of pros
pectuses pamphlets and other boom
literature. 1t is safe to say that that the
single issue of the Commercial! Gazette
was OF greater value to the Salt River
valley than all the good words that had
ever been spoken for it before. But
that account was only one of hundreds
in all parts OF the country.
The seed has been sown and the
crop is certain. We should not be
impatient for an abnormal growth but
should be contented with rapid one
which is assured.

MASS MEETING TONIGHT.


At the request of citizens of Phoenix
school district,a mass meeting has been
called to be held at the Central school
building tonight, "to consider" reads
the notice ''any questions which may
arise in regard to establishing high
school district, "etc. We sincerely hope
that the proposition may not be talked
to death tonight. There are only two
questions to be considered. One is
shall we have a high school district :?
and the other is, Shall it be union
district or not? The law considers"
for US all other Questions in regard to
establishing a high school district"
We have pressed the button and the
legislature has done the rest.
1t is proper only to consider the
second question, Shall it be union
district? and any discussion preci pitated
relative to any other matter will be
intended to defeat the project.
There is an overwhelming sentiment
in this and we believe in seven adioin-
ing districts in favor of union high
school. There is a sentiment also in
this district that Phoenix district alone
should establish 1t and we learn with
surprise and say with regret that there
is also a sentiment against high
school at ALL This will no doubt be
made manifest in one form or another
at the mass meeting tonight. 1t is
therefore urged that the friends of their
children, those who favor progression
will attend the mass meeting tonight
in force.
