TO VISIT The school! S
Mrs. Hudspeth- Benson Will
Try to Interest Nos. 10 and
90 In Town Improve
ment Tomorrow.

Mrs Hudspeth Benson intends to WISH
| the various schools and factories OF
| Greenville tomorrow in order to insure the
| cooperation of these institutions in the
matter of street cleaning as recently
| taken up by the Woman's Club. Now ina
| Mrs. Henson has districted the city and
| appointed the various chairmen, she ex-
poets to accomplish something worthy OF
| note, and is working hard in her oWn
| district, the Seventh Ward.
Mrs. Benson's idea in visiting thu
| schools and factories is to interest the
| school children and factory hands in the
| moyement-sort of stir up an enthusi-
asm and get them to promise TO pick up
stray papers in the vicinity of their
| schools and homes. She says she is sure
of the cooperation of both principals and
factory owners, several Of whom she has
| already talked with Upon the subject
| Schools Nos. IS and 20 will receive a visit
from her tomorrow.
Mrs. Benson further said, when seen
| by a News reporter, this morning, that
the committee are greatly encouraged,
though as yet they have accomplished
little. They have published a leaflet con-
tainging sections /, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10, of
Revised Ordinances of Jersey City" and
several further ordinances concerning
the littering of streets with refuse mat
| ter ssthe posting of public notices or
advertisements on the public streets or
private property, and "the throwing or
placing of the refuse of fruit upon the
public walks or streets all of which
have penalties and fines attached, and all
of which are violated daily. These leaf
let's are for distribution among residents.
Some of the ladies are having very good
success by turning in complaints. Mrs.
Alice May Ccudder, who is with Mrs.
Edwards ON the Eighth ward, sent in a
complaint to Mrs. Benson about the dirty
condition of Bergen avenue, which Mrs.
Benson Immediately forwarded to the
|. authorities, and the street was swept
within forty-eight hours, a thing which
had not happened during the whole year.
$50 you see," continued Mrs. Benson, 1--WE
must BIZ persistent"
With regard to the petition which the
ladies sent to the Street and Water Board
a short time ago Mrs. Benson is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr.. Boughton, in
which he says: while the Board would
feel very much pleased to comply with
the petition, the small amount Of funds
available, and the fact that they have al
ready been drawn upon quite heavily
would seem to preclude the possibility OF
a compliance during the current fiscal
year" He, however, promises to try and
get a larger allowance for next veal when
the Board will be glad to comply with
any reasonable request the ladies may
make. The petition was that the Board
place receptacles for fruit skins at the
various street corners.
There will be a meeting of the Town
Improvement Committee in Hasbrouck
Institute one week from tomorrow, when
the ladies will lay their plans before the
chairman, and when, Mrs. Benson fears,
leach may have a separate form of gov
eminent to offer"

Arrested for Falling TO Pay His
wife Alimouy.

Corporation Counsel Allan L. McDer-
mott applied to Vice Chancellor Emery
this morning, for an order discharging
from custody Henry L. Elmendorf, Public
Librarian of Buffalo, whoewas arrested in
Hoboken upon a writ of ne exeat obtained
by his wife. Louisa F., IN her case against
him for divorce. 1t appears from the
p1eadings tina the parties were married
in New Brunswick, or May IA, 1880, and
have one child, a boy. now about seven
teen years old. Two years afterward he
went to Corning, N. Y, and at intervals
of about two years thereafter he lived in
St.Joseph, Mo-. London and finally Buffalo,
where he now lives. On November 70,
1887, his wife obtained a divorce from
him on the ground Of desertion with a
decree providing that he should pay his
wife So per week for the support of the
child.
On March 10 last, Elmendorf landed in
Hoboken from the steamship AHen of the
North German Lloyd line and was i'm
mediately arrested by the Sheriff of Hud-
son county on the writ of ne exeat. He
was bailed by MI. McDermott and is now
at. liberty. In her affidavit upon which
Mrs. Elmendorf secured the writ She
swore that her husband kept out of the
State of New Jersey for the purpose OF
avoiding compliance with the decree of
the court and that she was satisfied that
he would cave the State as soon as he
could after landing. She also swore that
her husband has only paid her $40 on ac-
count Of the decree and now owes her
"a, 900 besides 1852 costs.
In moving for a dismissal of the writ
Mr.. McDermott argued that thec case was
an attempt to imprison a man for debt
which was unconstitutional. Judge How
ard Hays, of Newark, counsel for Mrs.
Elmendorf declared that the defendant
was in contempt for disobeying the order
of the court.
The Vice Chancellor said the case pre-
sented some fine points of law and he
would reserve his decision.
