interesting jury trial last Saturday alter
noon. 1t was the trial OF George Rowe.

Raymbaultown and who was arrested
on complaint of Mrs. Hertinen, who
charged him with assault and battery.
The case has been pending in the courts
for long time and was commenced last
September. Mrs. Hertinen alleged that
she was cleaning her carpet at the foot OF
the stairs at her home. of which Rowe
occupied the lower floor and she the Sec
ond story. She claims that he called her
many improper names and assaulted her.
Rowe claimed that SHE was sweeping her
carpet so that the dirt blew into his
open door onto his dinner table and that
when he demonstrated with her she
called him improper names.
Attorney Streeter appeared for the
plaintiff and Attorney Mcdonald was
for the defense. The jury returned ver-
dict in favor of the defense, acquitting
him OF the charge.
On the previous trials of the case Rowe
was not found guilty, but the Jury dis

Organs
WILL GO IN LESS THAN SEVEN DAYS

told you so. knew when the people
found out that they could save nearly
one half the usual price charged for
pianos and organs they would not be
slow in taking advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered them. The misfortune OF
any person Ia always SOMEBODY'S gain,
three were sold yesterday and at this
rate we are sure we will not have near
enough to supply the demand, as the
stock was not large and no instrument
will be duplicated. This chance may
never accur again in your city and II you
are IN need OF piano or organ or expect
to be within the next two wears, it will

Bold floral and conventional patterns

as usual are peerless among elegant trim

Clever modistes improyise divers ways

Bayadere effects are in the ascendant,

The demand for change and variety in

Their First social.

The ladies OF Vivian Hive, l.. o. 7. NJ,
gave their first social last evening and to
say that they have established for them
selves an enviable reputation on their
first attempt in this line is putting 1t
mildly.
The social took place in the new Quello
building and one OF the large storerooms
on the first floor was used for the dance
hall. The attendance was all that could
be desired and all that could be comfort
ably accommodated in the hall. The
new hardwood floor and the excellent
music furnished by the Laurium band
was combination that appealed to all
those who enjoy tripping the light fan
tastic and dancing was real pleasure
until / O'Clock this morning when the
party broke up.
The ladies made themselves famous In
the supper they set before their guests.
1t was replete with everything pleasing
to the inner man and included roast yen-
ison, dish that no one could resist.

Laurium Lodge lnsti-
tuted in This City
Last Evening.
23 Candidates Ride the Goat
No Partially Was shown and Zach
Aspirant Went Through the En-
tire Inisiatory ordeal.

The Pythians had big time in every
sense OF the word last night and the ies'
Invites lasted until almost daybreak this
morning. The occasion was the institu-
ton of the new lodge recently organized
at Laurium. by the grand chancellor,
Dan McMullen, assisted by Mr.. Curtis
and two members oil Charity lodge.
That the members OF the new lodge
were given the ride on the historical goat
with lasting effect is plainly seen on the
faces of the various candidates this
morning, for they all appear to have
been very seriously impressed with the
same idea, and they all allow that Mr..
McMullen knows exactly how to do the
business.
The institution of the lodge took place
at the Calumet Odd Fellows hall, and
every one OF the twenty-three members
of the Laurium lodge was given the in
itiatory degrees separately. About mid
night the work was stopped for refresh
ments and the entire assemblage repaired
to the New Jewell house where sump-
tuous spread was set before them. After
being somewhat refreshed by the repast
the work was again commenced at the
hall and it took until $50 this morning
to give the last member the degree work.
The goat hasn't got oyer the effects OF
the extra hard work he was given last
night, neither have some of the members
fully recovered from the same hard work
on the part OF the goat, but by proper
nursing it Is thought they will come out
on top in the end.

A Great Many Mining
Accidents Could be
Prevented.
BY Walkers Detaching Hooks
tsIacKen speed At n Greater Dis
lance Below the Brace.

The News on the 14th OF September.
last, called attention TO the accident
which occurred at the Tamarack. shortly
before that date. and in the interest OF
the men working underground, stated the
editor had been asked why the auto
matte attachment which it was under
stood was in existence there had not
been used. and also stated that several
persons who had worked in the collieries
OF Durham and Northumberland, had in
formed the editor that by use OF Walkers
patent detaching hooks such accidents
would be impossible. The article con-
cluded thus: 'It would look as il this
matter should be inquired into by the
mine homogeneous and that II Walkers
patent detaching hooks do all that is
claimed for them they should, in the IN
terest OF not only those working under
ground but OF the hosting engineers be
Immediately adopted"
Shortly after the appearance OF the
above "absurd and impossible advice, "
an article appeared in the Portage Lake
Gazette, no doubt written by its mining
editor" which stated that those at
tachments (referring to the Walkers
patent detaching hooks) may be o-ksy
when used at such coal pits in England,
where hosting Is by no means so swift
as it is at the vertical shafts OF the Tam
rack. and there is not a mining man here
who will say otherwise, Think for
moment what velocity there must be to
a cage hoisted at the rate OF $500 feet
per minute as is the case at No, shalt,
Tamarack. 1t is every bit this. The
engine at No. 2 is 42-inch diameter and
S4-inch stroke, easily capable OF hosting
5000 feet per minute. The principle re-
ferred to was tested and acted all right,
that is it became detached from the cage,
but the motion was there and they way
has vet to be discovered how to over
come it,"
The articles referred to above, now per-
haps ancient history, have been recalled
to mind by the accident which happened
at the Calumet No. 8 shalt last week,
when the engineer stated he went more
by the mark on the drum than the indi.
Gator and when through the engineers
mistake man lost his life through an
other oyerhoisting OF the skip. 1t may
be true that the hosting here is done at
a much greater speed than at the coal
pits in England, but the question natur-
ally arises whether a certain amount OF
the danger Of this overhoistinv could not
be done away with il the engineer were
instructed to always diminish the speed
at some greater distance below the brace
instead OF hosting at full speed until the
skip had reached the brace or nearly so.
This surely would in some manner over
come at least the rapid motion or mo-
mentum spoken OF by the mining editor"
Of the Portage Lake Gazette. No doubt
some time would be lost during the "a
hours by carrying out this idea, but
surely that could not be put in the bal
aDce against the extra safety it might be
TO those working underground.

quest of the Governor OF the Island of

PLEA FOR MORE SCHOOLS.
Hudson Improvement Associatio
Senass "a Letter TO maynr Hnoa

Hudson Improvement Association
sends letter to Mayor Hoos.
Mayor Hoos reeeived the following let
ter this morning from F. W. A. Fuller
secretary of the Hudson City Improve
ment Association
Enclosed please find copy of a resolu-
ton passed at the last meeting of the
Hudson City Improvement Association
held November 10, 1897. You will see by
it 1 am instructed to give you the facts
in the case. There are about 700 children
in this district that cannot get admis-
sion to the public schools, and it is
thought that some provision should be
made for them without waiting for the
construction of the new schools. Add to
crowded into Nos. 6 and Schools in ex-
cess of their regular seating capacity
yiz.:-429 plus the increase in the school
population by next September and you
will readily see that the two new schools
now in process of construction, with a
seating capacity of 1000, will not meet
the requirements. / do not consider it
necessary to impress on Your Honor with
any argument of this matter, as believe
YOU are fully alive to the pressing neces-
sity of the case. Trusting that you will
give the subject your wise consideration,
and that 1t will result in a conclusion that
will bring relief
The resolution was as follows:-
Resolved, that the proper authorities be
requested to enlarge the plans of No. rs
School with wing, and that the property
at Central and Hopkins avenues, adJoin-
ing No. 6 School, be purchased for the
purpose of ultimately erecting a wing to
the building, and that in the meantime 1t
be used for school purposes.
Resolved, that the secretary be in
structed to communicate the facts to
Mayor Hoos with a copy of these resolu-
tions and ask his aid"

JEWETT WANTS A DIVORCE.
His Second Matrimonial Adventure
Very Much of Failure.


Charles A. Jewett, a produce dealer of
No. 1921 Bloomfield street, Hoboken, has
begun suit for absolute divorce from his
wife, through his counsel, Senator Will
lam D. Daily and Joseph Smith. The sep
aration papers in the case were drawn up
some time ago. Both the parties are well
known in Hoboken, and when the suit
is brought into court some sensational
developments are expected. At the time
the couple were married, in 1882, Mrs
Jewett, who was then Miss Mary Slogan,
was one of the leading society bellies Of
Hoboken. Jewett was a widoWer, with
four children, including a daughter, Mary,
who was married to his second WifeS S
brother, Thomas. Thomas is trustee un-
der the separation papers.
In his bill of complaint JeWett declares
that his second matrimonial venture was
a failure almost from the beginning; Only
a few months after the marriage, he al
leges that his wife began to appropriate
all the money he could earn for her own
personal use. Her diamonds, he AYERS,
increased rapidly, and ne was finally
obliged to inform her that he could stand
the strain no longer. Then there was
trouble. Jewett alleges that his wife be-
came grossly indignant and began to III
treat his children. On one occasion, he
AYERS, she stripped one of his little boys
and poured ice cold water over him in
the bath tub because the child refused
to call her mamma" AT another time,
he avers she threa tened to kill his daugh-
ter Hattie, with a carving knife, and
called the child improper names.
Mrs. Jewett has secured the services of
Corporation Attorney Minturn and will
file cross bill against her husband. She
1t is said that her defence will reveal
some highly sensational features.
