NOVEL SUIT FOR JERSEY
Kaiser Wants Damages for the
Shattered Affections of His
Common Law Wife.

Lawyer E. K. Seguine, Of Jersey City,
Is preparing papers in a peculiar suit
which will serve to thoroughly test the
marriage laws of New Jersey. The case,
which will be begun next week, will be
heard by Supreme Court Justice Lippin-
cott. Christian Kaiser, former member
of the Jersey City Police Department,
will sue William Stevens, a policeman
attached to the Gregory street station, for
$1,000 for alternating the affections of his
common law wife, Catherine Couch. The
case is without precedent. The strange
part Of it is that Kaiser bases his right
to sue on decision relative to common
law marriages, which Vice Chancellor
Pitney rendered six weeks ago in a case
won in Chancery by the very man he
proposes to sue.
Five years ago William Stevens married
Mary the common law wife of John
Watts, former efnpioye Of the Jersey
City Street and Water Board. The Wom-
an claimed to have been divorced from
Watts before she married Stevens, Fhe
couple quarreled and separated. Six
months ago Stevens began suit in Chanc-
cry to have the marriage annuled on the
ground that at the time he married the
woman she was the wife of Watts. Mrs.
Stevens defence was that while she had
lived with Watts as his wife no cere-
mony had ever been performed and she
was. therefore, not legally married to
him.
Vice Chancellor Pitney decided that
common law marriages are as binding as
any other in New Jersey and granted
Stevens decree annuling his marriage
to Mrs. Watts. Stevens had only been
free a week when he eioped with Kate
Couch, who had been known for nine
years as the common law wife of Chris
tian Kaiser The couple were married by
a minister on Staten Island. When the
woman informed Kaiser of what she had
done he told her that he was satisfied
She took all his furniture and leaving
his home began housekeeping with Ste
vens at Pearsall avenue and the Boule-
ward Two weeks after the marriage
Stevens new wife tired of him and
sought to return to Kaiser, who seemed
anxious to have her back The two had
a conference, with the result that Kaiser
taking the Stevens-WattS case as a prece-
dent, consulted Lawyer Seguine and in
structed him 70 prosecute Stevens fol-
stealing his wife,
The case will probably be carried by
Mr.. Seguine to the Court of Errors and
| Appeals, so that the exact law regarding
| common law marriages in New Jersey
| NAV be determined. No matter what the

Board of Education Will
Appoint Principal Hop
kins to the Vacant
Principalship.
MR.. SNYDER TO HAYE AN ASSISTANT
Three Cornered Arrangement by
Which All Parties Interested
in the Change Are
Benefited.

The Board of Education WILL at its
meeting tomorrow night, fill the vacant
principalship of the High School. The
lucky man slated is Principal Hopkins, at
present in charge of No. 2. very close
competitor for this place was Principal
Goodenough, who will ultimately achieve
that honor, but not yet awhile
For long time the duties pertaining to
the office of City Superintendent of Public
Schools have been too much for one man.
The office was created when there were
only seven schools. Now that the number
of schools has reached, or will have, when
all begun are finished, nearly four times
seven, the work devolving on Mr.. Snyder
is tremendous While the work has been
increasing by rapid strides no provision
has been made in the Superintendent's
department to keep pace with 1t. When
all the twenty-seven schools are in full
swing with the annexes, it will simply be
impossible for Mr.. Snyder to visit each
school properly within even a month.
With this condition of things in view
an assistant to Mr.. Snyder is an impera-
tive necessity, and in few weeks, may
be few days, the Board of Education
will take such steps to secure such an ap-
pointment. The Board of Finance must
be consulted to appropriate a sufficient
sum to pay the salary of the new assist
ant, but the Board of Finance is a reas-
enable body, and will, no doubt, see the
necessity for the office and the propriety
of appropriating the money to keep it up.
The present plan is that when the office
is created Mr.. Hopkins will be transferred
from the prineipalship of the High School
to be Jersey Gity's First Assistant City
Superintendent of Schools. Principal
Goodenough will be transferred from his
School No. II in the Wilds of Woodlawn
to the Prinefpalship of the High School,
made vacant by Mr.. Hopkins removal.
BY this arrangement everybody will be

Snyder gets an assistant, and the city is

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DECISION
Railways May Got Damages When
HighWay Openes cross Th eIr Tracks

Highway Openes Across The cir Tracks
Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, NOV. 10, 1S97.-A Supreme
Court decision of the greatest Importance
to railroad companies and municipalities
is that just filed in the case of the Pater-
son and Newark Railroad Company
against the city of Newark. The railroad
company took exception to an award by q
special condemnation commission OF SOD
company would sustain by the opening OF
a street in Newark called Herbert place,
and extending it across the railroad COM
pany's tracks. The company first APP
pealed to the Essex Circuit Court, There
the trial judge refused to permit the IN
PRODUCTION of testimony which would show
the cost of constructing. maintaining ana
operating gates at the crossing, and he
limited the jury to the finding of damages
that the company would sustain by plank
ing the crossing and putting UP cattle
guards.
It was from the ruling in the Essex Cir
cult that the case was taken to the Su-
preme Court, on an application for an or
der granting new trial.. The, case was
before Chief Justice Magic and JUSTICES
Depue, Van Syckel and Gummere. The
decision just rendered grants q new trial.
and in no unnistakable language declares
it to be the railroad company's right to
secure damages on the basis as contended
for by the company's counsel.
In the opinion the Court Says;-
'@The laying of highway across the
railroad is taking of a company's prop
erty for public use, and entities it to com
pensation therefor, and compensation for
such taking includes the making good to
the company the monies expended by It
IN erecting, maintaining and operating
are necessary for the proper protection of
the public and for the safe operation of
the company's railroad.
Our constitution declares that private
property shall not be taken for public use
without just compensation, and nothing IS
just compensation that does not make
good to the owner all the pecuniary out
lay he is compelled to make by the appro-
priation of his property If the construe-
tion of highway across its road makes it
necessary for a railroad company, on ac-
count of the populousness of the neigh
borhood for any ether reason, to erect and
maintain and operate safety gates, the
outlay is just as much a damage caused
by the taking of the company's land as is
the cost of planking between the tracks,"
