PATR0LMAN DAWSON ACCUSED.
His Wife Seeks to BE Divorced From
Him.

Mrs. Lizzie Dawson, wife of Patrolman
William A. Dawson of the Jersey City
police force, has fled a bill of divorce
against her husband, and in thai bill she
makes some extraordinary charges
against the preserver of the peace.
She says that since her marriage,
when her husband was off duty, h was
off on a spree and was constantly under
the influence of liquor. Last election day
he came home, she alleges, and as usual
was inebriated. He seized a frying pan
and proceeded to correct her for some
imaginary offense with that domestic
weapon. On another occasion, she says,
he took a big carving knife and pointing
it at her breast asked, Are you pre-
pared to meet your God?" and promised
her a death which people would talk
about. Mrs. Dawson declined to meet
ner fate in that way and fled from the
house.
The bill further sets up that the police
man would be absent from home four
and five days. and when he came back
he was drunk, abusive and dangerous.
In consequence of his brutal conduct the
Wife left her home at No. s Bright street
and went to live with her three children
at No 2o3 Seventh street, where she is
at present. Her counsel, Mr.. Isaac F.
G~oldenhorn, obtained. from Vice Chan
cellor John r. Emery this morning an
order for alimony INK counse fees.

DROVE HORSE ODHAqH
The H. G. Gales Social Clubs
Annual Outing Winds Up in
the Police Station.

A dilapidated vehicle which night have
been used as a grocery wagon in by
gone days was seen going along the
Boulevard yesterday afternoon. Two
strips of canvas, one on each side. IN
formed the curious pedestrians that the
occupants comprised the 'tH. G. Gales
Social Club and the sight of a beer
key in the middle of the wagon told
plainly the cause of the reckless driving.
The wagon was drawn by two steeds
equally dilapidated in appearance as the
wagon. Ribs stood out in prominence
and q number of small sores were Wis
ible on their bodies. After narrowly miss
ing running into several vehicles and
causing bicyclists to hasten to cover, the
turnout attracted the attention of Mount
ed Policeman Milburn. He set out after
the wagon. The driver saw him coming
and whipped up his already staggering
horses. They bore up until they reached
Wilkes street, when one of them sud-
denly stopped, and after giving a faint
whinny fell to the ground. A stampede
then occurred among the occupants of
the wagon. who were all pretty well
under the influence of the contents Of the
mysterious key. All were sensible to the
fact that Milburn was coming toward
them at a pretty good speed, and realizing
the gravity of the situation, a few man
aged to scramble out of the wagon and
escape down the rocks and into the
railroad cut. Seven of them were left
IN the wagon when Milburn arrived. The
driver was making frantic efforts to
make the horse that kept his feet go
anead, and the result was that the fallen
animal was being dragged along the road.
Milourn refined in in front of the wagon
and grasping the bride held the horse
back. He called to the driver to stop
whipping the horse, when one of the oc-
cupants of the wagon, who turned out to
be William Brant, of No. 81 Madison
driver fiourishing a long carving knife.
and threatening to do all sorts of things
to Mflburn.
Milburn summoned aid n placed the
entire party under arrest. The patrol

THIRD PRECINCT HAs A PIANO
1t Is On Wheels aud Was Taken
From Some Italians.

FIVE Italians, four men and one women,
were arraigned before Police Justice
Douglass in the Oakland avenue court this
morning charged with disorderly conduct.
Patrolman Reinhardt arrested them Sat
urday afternoon for fighting among
themselves. They were on West Newark,
avenue surrounding a small piano, which
was upon two wheels and played by
turning a crank.
Three of the men seemed to be fighting
the woman and the other man. The off-
GER did not know who was right or wrong,
so "corralled' the whole lot. This morn
ing in court the woman stated that she
and her father, one of the four men ar
rested. had sold the piano to the other
three men on the i~nstallment plan, and
their agreement and paid all they should.
They still owed her SIS. 1t was while
arguing over the money that the s'polica-
mana maka de arres."
Judge Douglass discharged them all, but
kept the piano until they had secured 4
license to play it. Since the instrument
has been in the station house, the reserve
policemen have amused themselves by
taking turns at turning the rank. There
are a number of good singers among the
members of the Oakland avenue force,
and they nave had any amount of fun
playing and singing. How Miss Wyatt,
the matron of the women's ward, will
miss that piano when it is gone, she and
the police will only know.
