NURsED HER VICTIM.
Mrs. Felter, In Jealous Rage, Shoots
Her Husband

Joseph Felter, of Union Hill, was shot
in the face by his jealous wife yesterday
afternoon His wound was dressed at
Christ Hospital. AS it was not serious he
left the hospital for his home last night
where the wife who shot him tenderly
nursed him. There are tw stories con-
cerning the tragedy. Felter refused to
discuss the matter at the hospital.
One story is to the effect that he was in
search of evidence upon which to secure
a divorce and the enraged wife, antiici-
pating his efforts, walked up behind him
in West Hoboken, called him by name,
and as he turned blazed away with the
loaded revolver. The bullet entered his
chin and came out at an angle of his left
jaw.
A story is in circulation to the effect
that the wife seeing her husband leave
home with two women who live near by
their home, followed him and as he came
out of West Hoboken resort upbraided
him and during the alteration shot him.

LAW OFF ICERS.
Mayor Hoos Reappoints Allan
L. McDermott Corporation
Counsel and J. W.
Queen Corporation
Attorney.
OFFICES SOON TO Be VACANT
Executive to Pass a Busy
Summer Awarding Plums
to Willing Candidates.

Mayor Hoos this morning reappointed
Corpora ton Counsel Allan L. McDermott
and Corporation Attorney John W. Queen
for a term of two years at, at salaries
respectively, 5000 and $500 per annum.
There was no surprise over the reap
pointment of Mr.. McDermott, but there
was some interest in Mr.. Queens appoint
ment, for within the past few days Mr.
William f. Midlige has been prominently
mentioned for the place of Corporation
Attorney.
The Mayor, however, felt that in ap-
pointing Mr.. Midnge it would give him
practically four offices under the city gov
ernment He would be Corporation At
torney, member of the Board of Finance,
President of the Board of Aldermen, and
by virtue of the latter office Acting Mayor
in the absence of Mayor Hoos. Mr.. Mid
lige had strong backing, too, but he him
self took little interest in the race, openly
expressing his support for Mr.. Queen. Mr..
Midhge will serve out the term for which
he was elected, president of the Board of
Aldermen, when political preferment will
probably "come his way"
Mayor Hoos this morning at first was
unwilling to make known his appoint
ments until later in the day and this fact
gave rise to the opinion that his Honor
was undecided as to the two mentioned
for Corporation Attorney. Just, however,
before going to Trenton he instructed
Private Secretary Collins to send the COM
missions to Messrs. McDermotb and
Queen.
Until the fall the Mayor will have
little peace in the embarrassing matter
of making appointments. Then he will
have the offices of Collector, Comptroller
and Treasurer at his disposal The pres
ent incumbents of these offices will be re-
appointed Then in the spring, before
his Honors term of office expires. he will
have to appoint Police Commissioners,
Fire Commissioners, members of the
Board of Education, Commissioners of
Appeals, Sinking Fund Commissioner and
Tax Commissioner, all ndce plums, at
which even now lots of mouths are water
ing.
Mr.. William F. Mid1ige was seen this
morning in reference to the matter of the
appointment of Corporation Attorney. He
treated the whole thing in the following
statement
The Mayors action has surprised me
in view of what he said himself to me
only yesterday. Well if His Honors
conscience is easy mine surely is. 1 am
not going to ventilate my private affairs
So far as am concerned l have nothing
to say to Mayor Hoos for what I call in
comprehensive conduct"

QUEER RELEASE IN COURT
Vice Chancellor Pitney Begins
the lsaacs Case.

Late yesterday afternoon Vice Chan
cellor Pitney in the Court of Chancery
began the hearing of the case brought by
Sarah A. .Isaacs to foreclose mortgage
upon the property No. 4O8 Avenue D, Bay
onne. The story brought out by the plead
ings in the case is an interesting one. 1t
appears that Mrs. Isaacs and her hus-
band made considerable money in the
clothing business on Staten Island. Solo,
mon Isaacs, a brother, kept similar
store in Bayonne, but did not prosper.
The brothers married sisters. Solomon
was the owner of the property which is
involved in the suit, and in 1893 he bor-
rowed 81 800 on it from Mrs. Isaacs to
whom he gave a mortgage for that
amount.
He never paid any interest on the mort
gage and became financially involved
soon afterward. Solomon Isaacs sold the
property to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Rose
Goldstrom, subject to the mortgage, who
in turn sold it to Simon Zeman, who at
that time was a suitor for the hand OF
Mary B., Mrs. Isaac's daughter. Zeman
was accepted by the girl and the mar
riage settlements were executed according
to the Hebrew custom.
Mrs. Isaacs says she learned things
about Zeman which made him altogether
undesirable as a husband and she caused
the engagement to be broken off. Stlil
following out the Hebrew custom re-
leases from the marriage settlements
were executed and the Isaacses thought
they were quit of the Zemans Simon
however transferred the mortgaged prop
ertv to his brother Leopold, who fell IN
arrears for the interest and suit was be-
| gun to foreclose the mortgage. The case
was almost ended when Leopold Zeman
appHed to have the matter opened, claim
| ing that his brother had a release from
the mortgage. He produced the release Oh
| his brother from his engagement to MISS
| Isaacs. in which was Incorporated re-
| lease from the mortgage in dispute.
| Assembly Benny who represented Mrs.
Isaacs pointed out to the Court that the
| boyd of the marriage settlement appeared
| to be in one ink and the clause relasing the
mortgage in another. The esVice Chancel-
| lor asked Mr. Benny If he wished to take
| the release and have it examined by a
| writing expert Mr.. Benny replied that
| he did not wish to have the document in
his possession as the other side might ac-
cuse him of altering it, He said he would
rather have it examined in open court
| 1t was near the time for adjournment
when the case was taken and only one
witness avs examined, that was Simon
Zenan ard he testified to the making Of
the marriage release and claimed that 1t
released the mortgage as WELL The case
Will go on tomorrow.

The most costly and precious wine In
the world is that contained in a cask
named the "Rose,' in the Bremen Town
Hall cellars. This Rudesheim. of the
vintage Of the year 1868, is of the color
Of old ale. and has wonderful aroma,
though a rather hard taste. 1t Is never
seld, but is used exclusively for the sick
of Bremen, the only exceptions having
to the Emperor William I, another to
Frederick III, and one to Prince Bis
marck. The supposed money value Of this
wine is something beyond credence. but
as it IS never sold this detail is of slight
