The Jersey house cafe is now
finished and rivals any bar in the
State for taste and completeness.
1t is up to date in every particular
and Host Reed has spared no ex-
pense to make it a credit to the
city. 1t is furnished with an oak
bar with back bars composed OF
three polished oak buffets. The
wall paper is deep drab, with
cherry wainscotting. The front is
French plate and Clipped glass.
There are two private wine rooms
in connection, one 10x14 and the
other Sxl0.. The cut glass articles
on the back bar are the best which
could be bought after an exami-
nation of the eastern markets, while
the refreshments dispensed by the
afable bartenders are of the choicest
description.

IRVINE SUES LAWRENCE.
Claims Latter Failed to Make Good
An Option.

Stock Broker William H. Irvine yes
terday sued Will ]. Lawrence for
IS, 1888. 70. The plaintiff claims that
S4.021 SO of this sum is due him as
damages and s1,761.S0 is a balance on
a note for s., 1870.
On June 9, 1898, the petition re-
cites, the defendant gave the plaintiff
an option on the purchase of 10000
shares of Star Consolidated stock at so
cents per share. The option was good
for one year from its date. Some
months later, according to the COM
plant, Lawrence borrowed from Irvine
S2,s15.70.
AS security therefor he pledged 1866
shares of Star Consolidated stock. As
he failed to pay the note at maturity,
Irvine says he credited the note with
the stock at so cents per share, or 1888.
He also credited the 1Q,000-share option
with ]. 666 shares.
Before the option expired, he says.
he went to Lawrence and rendered him
so cents per share for the remaining
S. 1874 shares. Lawrence refused to ac-
cept the meney and turn over the stock.
At the time the tender was made, the
plaintiff claims the stock was selling
at 1914 cents. He figures that he is en-
tiled 10 the difference between the
stock at 9Sj4 and so cents, which would
amount to S4.021. 49,

prominent physicians have refused to

TROUBLES OF M0SER FAMILY OGDEN MERCHANT STRICKEN
HUSBAND FINED FOR BEATING
HIS WIFE.
Judge Timmony Advises Mrs. Moser
to Secure a Divorce-Husband
Has Possession of Household.

Wesley Moser's troubles were aired
in police court yesterday and the tes-
timony put him in such a light that
Judge Timmony fined him $50 for wife
beating. All of Post street and several
residents of Ninth West were in the
court room, eager to tell the court of
Moser's conduct toward his spouse.
Their stories were not required how
ever, as Mrs. Mosers testimony cooked
her husbands goose.
The lady stated that ever since their
marriage, three years ago, Moser had
treated her shamefully, often beating
her, continually pinching her arms
this mode of showing his affection be-
ing a hobby-and frequently locking
her out of the house nights. Tuesday
last he threw her out of the house, she
stated, and in this Mrs. Moser was cor
roborated by Amos Gotham and Mrs.
Gotham, who are near neighbors.
Moser claimed that he had good cause
for doing all this, but did not say what
it was. The husband complained that
he had three weeks or months laun-
dry on hand, which his wife had re-
fused to wash, and that when he
pushed her out of the house, it. was
because she was trying to burn a letter
belonging to him. He said his wife
had been cOaXed from her happy nome
by the Gothams, and that he had tried
to make it up, but he could not strike
a time when both were in the right
humor.
This is another case for Judge
Hiles," said the court. IF you can't
live happily together. get a divorce.
Mrs. Moser, think, being the party of
the two entitled to it. do not deem
it necessary to repeat what has been
said in this court about wife-b beating,
but / do not believe this case" with a
casual glance at Moser's eye, calls for
the usual penalty"
The court then sentenced Moser to
pay fine of $50.
Mrs. Moser. after court had adj
journed, said her husband had taken
all the furniture from the house, and
wanted the court to act in the matter.
Judge Timmony advised-or, rather,
pleaded to Moser's manhood to give
her the household goods.
You can rustic and make a living"
he said; '1et your wife have the things.
Be a man, now, and give her the key"
Moser wouldn't do it. He said he
would sell the goods and give her half
the money, but under no consideration
would he let her take them. MRS. Mo-
ser said she would not live with him
again, and Moser's mother warned him
to follow the same course. 1t looks
like the Mosers will be separated and
peace will again reign on Ninth West.

right side was useless. He could move
neither his arm or leg. In spite of the
attack. Mr.. LESSOR mutely insisted on
getting up. but when assisted to his
feet could not stand. He was taken to
the hospital and his wife notified of his
illness. Mrs. Lessoff arrived last even
ing, and is at her husbands bedside.
DR.. McAchran is very uneasy over his
patient. but hopes for the best. Al
serious hemorrhage of the brain at
tended the stroke.
AT midnight Mr.. Lessoff was re-
ported resting easily.
