TRIED FOR ARSON.
SliaugbDessy's House Fakes Fire on
Election Nighf.

The trial of Patrick and Ellen Shaugh-
messy for arson, which has been tried in
four i~nstallments in the Special Sessions
Court, was concluded this morning. The
defendants were accused of setting fire
to their apartments in a tenement house
at No. 2S Pavonia avenue on election
night.
me trial began on Thursday and after
considerable testimony had been taken
the case was adjourned until Friday, and
from Friday until Saturday on account
of the absence of important witnesses.
Some testimony was taken each day. On
Saturday Mrs. Mary Thompson, a wit
ness, was missing. She was sent for but
the constable learned that she had gone
to New York. Judge Hudspeth issued
a caplas and instructed the constable to
watch for her, and if she returned to
lodge her in the County Jail, so that
she could be brought to court this morn
ing when she was wanted.
Mrs. Thompson returned from New
York at a late hour Saturday night, when
she thought nobody was looking. The
faithful constable was on guard, how
ever, and Mrs. Thompson was speedily
lodged in the jail. When the trial was
resumed this morning She was brought
over to court and gave her testimony.
There was nothing in 1t to explain why
she should have taken the trouble to abb
sent herself.
All that she knew about the case was
that she smelled smoke and went down
to the S~haughnessy apartments. The
kitchen door was locked, but when she
raped on it Mrs. S-haughnessy opened it.
The bedroom was full of smoke, and a
mattress on the floor was burning.
Shaughnessy was trying to stamp the
the evidence was insufficient and acquit-
ted the defendants.

QUIGLEY'S MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS
Judge H~ndspeth Issues a CapIas for
the Policy Man.

Somebody seems to be keeping Judge
Hudspeth posted as to the movements
and condition of Michael ]. Quigley, who
is under indictment for dealing in policy.
He was one of the men captured in the
furniture van raid made by Under Sheriff
Erwin on Jim Solomon's headquarters in
Essex street. A date has been fixed
several times for Quigley's trial. but on
each occasion his lawyer informed the
Court that he was too sick to appear
or Withstand the ordeal of a trial. The
last time was about two weeks ago n
at the request of Judge Hudspeth County
Physician Converse went down to ex-
anime Quigley. The doctor reported him
too sick to appear in court.
In the latter part OF last week Judge
Hudspeth was informed tina Quigley was
out every day and that he had been
taking his meals in Meschutt's for about
three weeks. The Judge himself saw him
on the street one day. Notice was sent
to Quigley to ppe in court this morn
ing.
At ten o'clock Messrs. Altar L. Nc
Dermott, Norman L. Rowe and John
DENIM, Quigley's counsel, appeared in
court and positively assured Judge Hud-
speth that their client is in bed suffering
from infammatory rheumatism and that
it would be impossible and dangerous for
him to leave the house. Judge Hndspeth
thought it strange that the young man
is sick only at the time his presence is
Purtell to Issue a capias for him.
DR.. Converse will ACCOMPANY a Con-
stable to the house and If he says that
Quigley IS not in a condition to be moved
be moved with safety he will be taken
to the court forthwith

Marriage in Franca.

May not the cost of getting married in
france act as a check upon marriage, and
so partly account for the of
French population? The othsr day a
wedding was thus celebrated by well-to-
do middle-class folks in Burgundy, and
MAY serve as a type. No less than five
sunptuous banouets were given by the
brides father, namely, two dinners, two
breakfasts and one ballroom supper. At
ore of the dinners sat down sixty guests.
no less than fifty bottles of champagne
We're drunk, to say nothing of red wines
n liqueurs. Strange to say. no one
seemed any the worse.
The respective PROFESSIONS to Marie and
church on different days involved the hire
of s.xty Carriages, this cost also falling
upon the young kdy's parents, the entire
ceremonial involving an outlay of several
hundred pounds. Nor was the affair less
oEarous to invited friends and relations.
The ladies were expected to display a new
and fashionable toilet upon each separate
occasion-banquets, balls, civil and reli-
gious celebrations.
To the bridegroom fell all kinds of ex-
penses, such as fees. gifts to the church
and the poor-these, however. a trife COM
pared to the mental and bodily wear and
tear of three days perpetual merry-mak-
ing; last, but not the least, the necessity
of looking pleased. When Anglomania
has altered all this. ard a F~renchman's
wedding day means two or three hours
ceremonial only, we may expect the mar
r1ago rate to go steadily up.-Newark SUM

An Imperial bicycle was stolen from the
home of Mrs. Walter Hilton, No. III Ocean
avenue, Thursday afternoon. The case
was reported at the Ocean avenue station

Egan has been on the sick list for over a
week Captain Nugent assigned Chance
man Merrity, a man who was appointed a

French, Merrfty learned, was frequently
hired by Mrs. Hilton to do odd Jobs
around the place. He also found out that
French would be there Saturday to finish
a piece of work which he had left undone
Thursday, the day the wheel was stolen.
When French appeared for work about
one o'clock Saturday afternoon Merrity
arrested him upon suspicion. VI the sta

grand larceny and was locked up. Chance
man Merrfty has been receiving congra-

DIVIDED TIE CHILDREN.
Decree Granted ia the Stagg Divorce
Suit at HackenSack

The famous Hackensack divorce suit of
Mr.. Henry B. Stagg against his wife,
Mrs. Annie H. Stage, was finally settled
who decided on the custody of the chill
dsen.
The decree says that Jennie Stagg, the
youngest child, shall be under the care
of the mother, and the husband shall pay
hve dollars per week alimony for its MAIN
tenance. The eldest children, Depeysser
Stage ard Martha Stagg shall be in the
custody Of the father.
Senator William T. Johnson, counsel for
the father, and Senator w. d. DAILY,
counsel for Mrs. Sbagg, agreed on these
terms, which are virtually a victory for
Mrs. Stage, whose husband fought for
the custody of all the children.
Some time ago Mrs. Stage ran away
from her husband, but he forgave her and
took her back. She repeated her extraor-
binary conduct, taking with her the chill
dren. Ultimately she agreed to allow the
two girls to visit their father and he
wouldn't allow them to return to their
mother. The children were placed by the
father in the State street public school
in Hackensack. One day Mrs. Stagg
drove up in a carriage and carried off the
two little girls. The husband sued out a
writ of habeas corpus and Mrs. Stage
brought the children into court. Senator
Daily made a vigorous appeal for the Gus
tody of the children, but the Chancellor
turned them over to the father to pre-
serve the status QUO of the case; because
q bill had been filed for divorce.
Senator Johnson afterwards made a
compromise and the decree this morning
divides the children between father and
mother. The main suit has been dropped.
The parties are separated only and the
children provided for.

QUAR7ET9E CLUB RbV.
Several Officers Resign Because
the Club. Wants to Help
the German Academy.

F. A. Osten, president; Vice-President
George K. Schliessier and Recording Sec
rotary Edward Krumnow of the Hobo
ken Quartette Club, have resigned their
Offices. President Osten resigned a month
or two ago, but reconsidered his action.
But now the leaders of the club are in
favor of his retirement He is accused
of having carried personal feeling into
his conduct of the clubs affairs as pres.-
dent. A short time ago the German
Academy of Hoboken notified the prom
inent German organizations of the county
that a fair would be held next March and
asked the cooperation of these societies
to make it a success. Several of the trus-
tees are members of the Quartette Club
and a great many Others of the member
send their children ITO the academy The
Quartette Club Gently had the support
OF the trustees of the academy at their
fair.
President Osten, however, opposed re-
cognition of the academy fair and refused
to appoint a committee to aid the enter
prise. AT the last meeting of the club a
demand was again made for the appoint
ment of delegates to the fair, and Mr.. Os-
ten refused as did also Vice-President
Schliessier. F. w. Bender, H. F. A. Hesse
and A. Merkel volunteered to serve n
lne oHef was accepted. The next day
brought forth the designations of the pre-
sident, vice-president and recording sec
rotary. Treasurer Edward Steudner is
now president pro TEN.
Several years ago one of Mr.. Osten's
children who was a pupil at the academy
accused one of the instructors of having
insulted her in the presence of the class.
An investigation was made and the in
structor was declared not guilty of the
charge. Mr.. Osten was requested
to take his children from the academy
and did SO. Since then he has not been
friendly to the academy.
