MRS CLARK WANTS ALIM0NY.
Her Husband LrH Her and Went
. IN ia t

Especial to The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, March 5. 1s9S.-Last sum
mer James f. Clark left his wife and
family in Jersey City and went to Cam
den to take a position as superintendent
of the Pintsch Comprising Company >
Works, at a good salary. The Camden
air seems to have had a bad effect on
Clark, as he has contributed very little
to the support of his household since go
ing there.
During the past week Mrs. Clark, wife
of James E., has filed in the Chancery
Court a petition for alimony. 1t was
learned that the husband threatened to
leave the State and today Vice Chancellor
Reed made an order prohibiting the hus-
band from departing from New Jersey
until III has fully answered his wife's
bill, and the court shall make other or
der to the contrary. Under the order al
lowed today Clark must give a bond in
tha SUM of $500.
Mrs. Clark. in her bill, make a number
of charges of cruelty against her spouse.
She says that he has practically a
doned and deserted her, bidding her to
look to her relatives for her support.
Th Clarks were married on Christmas
Day, 1871, at Jersey City, where they have
since lived, until the husband left for
Camden LAST summer. Mrs. Clark con-
tinues to live at Jersey City with her
children. who are Lottie, aged twenty
two; Alice. aged seventeen; May, aged
fifteen, and Irma, aged ten. The wife
says that the two older children have
had employment in the past, but are at
present unable to find any; while h
Younger ones attend school and are de-
pendent upon her. She AYERS that she
has only been able to earn the sum of
thirty cents a day by sewing, and that
consequently both she and her children
have suffered from cold and hunger.
The husband and father, according to
the wife's bill, has contributed on an av-
erage of 81 or IS d month to his family's
support. Mrs. Clark ayers that h has
numerous appeals to him for help
in her impoverished condition, which were
at first met with excuses, but now re-
suit only in insult. She says she sug-
gested that Re remove his family to live
with him at Camden, which offer was met
with sneers on his part.
An early date will be fixed for hearing
the case.
