WANT A vIADUcT.
Hill Residents Seek Better Com
m~unication with Hoboken.

Mayor Pagan of Hoboken. DR.. U.
Alien and other citizens of the northern
section of the city, arranged with the
members of the Street and Water Board
yesterday a conference in reference to the
construction of a viaduct connecting the
Heights with Hoboken.
A hearing on this matter took place be-
fore the Finance Commissioners not long
ago when it was urged that such COM
munication was desirable and would i'm
prove vastly sections of the city now
sparsely built upon. 1t was also pointed
out that there was no means of reaching
New York from the upper section of the
city without coming many miles out Of
the way.
The petitioners for~the viaduct said that
if the city would bear half the cost the
city of Hoboken would cheerfully bear
the other half, because it would undoubt-
eddy rebound to the benefit of both cites
should better Communication be effected
between them: people from New York
would come here and settle when they
found out they easily reach their business
places in the Metropolis.
The Commissioners will confer with the
Finance Board as to the money end of
the scheme.

RULED THE QUESTION OUT.
Judge Blair Would Not Let a Wit
Fness's Past Be Inquired Into

Lena Goldstock, of No. 81 East Twenty
second street. Bayonne. is being tried in
the General Sessions Court today for as
sault and battery on Mrs. Bridget
O'Brien's daughter Agnes, of the same adj
dress. Former Judge Thomas F. Noonan
is representing the defendant and the case
promises to last all day.
Mrs. O'Brien testified that on May IS
Mrs. Goldstock seized Agnes, who is six
years old, and beat her with a club. She
held the child down with her face to the
sidewalk and beat her until blood flowed
from her nose, mouth AND ears.
On cross-examination Mr.. Noonan en-
deavored to elicit from the witness an adj
mission that she had been convicted a
number of times in the Recorders court
in Bayonne of disorderly conduct and that
she had been in the county Jail, but Mr..
Van Wrinkle objected and the questions
were o%verruled. Mr.. Noonan then en-
deavored to show that Mrs. O'Brien made
the charge against Mr.. Goldstock for the
purpose of compelling the defendant and
her husband to pay more rent for the
house they occupy, which is owned by
Mrs. OfBrien.
The defence will be that Mrs. Goldstock
neve struck the child.

HoB0KEN FLuNkED
None OF Her Officials Atten ded the
viaduct Conference.

There was to have been a conference
yesterday afternoon in the room of the
Jersey City Street and Water Board be-
tween the Street and Water Commission
ers of Jersey City and Mayor Pagan, the
Chairman of the Common Counci and the
President of the Water Department of
Hoboken. The Street and Water Com
missioners were on hand, but none of the
Hoboken officials arrived. Considerable
surprise was manifested by the Street
and Water Commissioners as they sent
invitations to the Hoboken City Clerk
asking him to invite the officials mention
ed to the conference.
AS they received no notice to the con-
trary, they thought the officials would
attend. Mr.. McDermott, the City Clerk,
did not reply to the letter of the Street
and Water Board at all. 1t was proposed
to go over the law giving the two cities
the right to build a viaduct and come to
some understanding as to the construc-
ton to be placed upon it, also to come
to some agreement as to whether a via
duct is to be built or not.
The Street and Water Commissioners
are anxious to keep their pledge to the
residents of the Hudson City section and
come to some understanding with Hobo
ken so that a viaduct may be built which
will benefit both cities.

SAYS Ne GAVE HER NOTHING
Eaton Denies His WiRe's Charges
But IL Ordered to Support Her.

Mrs. Minnie Eaton, of No. Ia Gregory
street. this morning appeared In the First
Criminal Court against her husband, F.
w. Eaton, an employee of the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad, who lives at No. 81 New
ark avenue. She charged him witt
abandonment.
Mrs. Eaton seemed much distressed
that she was compelled to seek redress
from her husband through the courts.
Her lawyer failed to put in his appear
ance, but she insisted on proceeding with
the testimony.
Mrs. Eaton told the Court that she mar
ried her husband in Indianapolis in 1880.
She said until 1897 their life was a happy
one. Eaton, she said, was at the time a
criminal court reporter for q western
newspaper.
The couple moved to this city in 1896.
The trouble then began. In December,
1897, an old gentleman who lived with the
couple suggested that a partnership in
the candy business be formed. He volun-
teered to put UP $500 for the enterprise.
Eaton accepted the offer and was given
500. He used $50 of the amount to buy
a horse and wagon; $50 was spent for
stock. Business became poor and ne was
compelled to close out. He sold the rig.
Mrs. Eaton said during his period she
did not receive one penny from her hus-
band toward her support. Mrs. Eaton
also swore to the fact that during the
past ten months she has received no
money from him at all.
Eaton denied his wife's charges and
swore that she would not become a charge
on the city as she was conducting a
boarding house at the address on Gregory
street. He said that from 1897 until 1898
he gave his wife $500, but since he has
been working for he railroad company he
had heard stories rejecting on his wife's
character and he did not think he was
compelled to support her under the exist
ing circumstances.
Eaton further testified that pm several
occasions he visited his wife at her home
and tried to make up with her but she
refused to listen to him and would not
ever allow him to take the liberty of kiss
ing her. "She wen went so far" said
Eaton. "as to refuse me he privilege of
seeing the children"
Mrs. Eaton became very uneasy during
her husbands testimony. Several times
she tried to deny his accusations but she
was always cut off.
During a short recess Mrs. Eaton paced
up and down the floor in front of the
Courts desk. She chewed chewing gum
continually.
Justice Nevin ordered Eaton to pay $40
a month for the support of his wife.

ADOPTED THE CHILD.

An application was made to Judge
Blair, in the Orphans Court, this morn
ing, in behalf of Jacob and Ellen J.
Haring, for permission to adopt a FIVE
year-old girl named Clark. They have
had the child since 1896. The mother is
unable to care for it and the father, so
far as Mrs. Haring knows, has never
seen it. Whether he is alive or not is a
question. The Rev. Benjamin Otto, pas
tor of the North Baptist Church, Of
which the Harings are members, testi-
fed that, in his opinion, they are proper
persons to have the custody of the child.
Mrs. Haring testified that her husband
is an engineer on the Erie Railroad and
earns $50 a month. She and her hus-
band have two grown children, one Of
them married. Judge Blair consented to
the formal adoption of the child by the
Harings.

WANT The SIGN REMOVED
Cottage Street Residents Com
plain to Street and Water
Commissioner Nolan.

A committee consisting of the three
brothers F-reund-Herman, Frederick and
Abraham-who do business at No. S21
Newark avenue, and who own consider
able property on Cottage street, called
on Street and Water Commissioner Mo-
Ian this morning and complained, on be-
half of the residents of Cottage street,
against the sign at the end of Cottage
street, which was partially destroyed by
the angry property owners early Satur-
day morning last. They told the Com
missioner the sign was on city property
II not on Pennsylvania Railroad prop
erty, as had been said. They wanted to
know if the owner of the sign had a
permit to have it on the street.
Commissioner Nolan looked the matter
up and found hat no permit had been
granted. He said he never knew that the
contention of the residents was that the
Board was on city property. He declared
that If 1t was on railroad property the
Street and Water Board had no jurisdic-
erty it would nave to be moved. He
doubted very much the statement that 1t
was on city property.
We know 1t IS, said Herman Freund,
because O'Melia had a sign on railroad
property and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company compelled him to tear it down..
He then put it up on the city property
right at the foot of Cottage street, where
it shuts off our view and also shuts off
light and air"
Chief Engineer Van Keuren was called
into the conference and he promised to
have the property surveyed. If 1T is
found that the sign is on the city's prop
erty an order will be Issued compelling
