WOES OF THE MEYERS.
Why a Well Know Druggists
Wife Wants a Divorce.

Vice Chancellor Pitney this afternoon
began the hearing of the application of
Mrs. Mary Meyer for divorce from her
husband. Albert, a well known druggist
of Summit avenue William H. Stuhr in
opening the case to the court said that
the couple were married in Nurmenburg,
February IS, 1876, and lived in Ellingen,
Bavaria, until August 81, 1898 when Meyer
came to this country. leaving his wife
and children behind. In the following
April Mrs. Meyer left Germany with
her five children and joined her
husband in this city. Soon after his
marriage, the wife alleges, Meyer took to
drink and became very abusive. He devei-
oped an ungovernable temper and several
times struck her and threatened to choke
her. On June 1, 1899, he assaulted his
daughter Olga, twelve years old, and
when Mrs. Meyer demonstrated with MIN
and attempted to protect her daughter,
she alleges he struck her on the neck and
breast. Since then he has not spoken to
her. she declares, except to quarrel with
her and abuse her. He only gave her ~
a week for the support of herself and
family.
In July, 1899, Mrs. Meyer declares, her
husband turned her out of their nome
No. 1887 Summit avenue, and hired four
men to break into her apartments ana
remove her furniture. When she remon-
strated he threw her against the wall
and hurt her so that she cried and at
tracted a large crowd in the street in
front of the house before whom he brut-
ally assaulted his children.
Mr. Weller, for Meyer, read an answer
in which all the allegations of the wife
were specifically denied by Meyer. He
says he left Bavaria because of his wife's
quarreIsome and meddlesome habits.
She followed him against his direction
to remain in Europe, as he considered the
faculties for educating his children were
better there. But when she and the chill
dren arrived he made the best of it. He
declares his wife would come into his
store. call him names before the custom
ers and say things which hurt his busi-
ness. At one time when the son Frederick
was trying to break a broom handle with
a stone the stick flew up and knocked
out the boys eye. His wife ran out into
the shed crying murder" and tried to set
the crowd her cries attracted against her
husband
rooms by saying she put a paddock on the
door and would not let him in. So he
broke it open. One of her sons attacked
him and he chastised the boy. That was
what his wife meant by saying he brutal
ly assaulted his children. The case was
on when the Court adjourned.

TOO DRUNK TO KNOW.
Gay Crowd Had Merry Time and
All Got Hurt.

Mrs. Mary Lancaster, of No. 31s Warren
street, was in the First Criminal Court
yesterday with her head wrapped in a
number of bandages. She seemed to be
suffering very much from pains in the
head, and it was apparent that her head
must have been cut badly.
She accused Thomas Redmond, thirty
five years old, a nephew, of having as
saulted her Saturday night in her home.
She also said that Redmond's mother had
assaulted her and that one of them had
cut her head with a glass. Redmond de-
MED the charge and said that no one was
able to tell anything of the trouble be-
cause the crowd was drunk and general
fight, occurred in which Mrs. Lancaster
was injured. Redmond said she was not
the only one who was hurt, as all those
present carried marks of the shindig.
Redmond was held in $500 to await the
action of the Grand Jury.

DOWN ON HIGGINS.
Republicans Dislike His APP
pointment as Probation-
ary officer.

The anpointment of Frank J. Higgins.
of the Ninth ward, to the recently created
office of Probationary Agent, has bred
more dissension in the Republican party
not only in that ward but all over the
county. Even Jack Graham, who stood
for all the leaders did, commented adj
yersely upon the selection and said that
such moved caused trouble all along the
line.
Where the real dissatisfaction lies Is
among the members of the Patronage
Committee of the County Committee.
Some of these men say that their choices
have been totally ignored, as If the com
nittee were comprised of dead people.
Several have openly stated that the COM
anittee's wishes were not respected ana
that the appointment was made in abeo-
Lutte disregard Of the wishes of the COM
mittee. Threats of resignation from the
County Committee have been heard since
the appointment was announced. The
ninth ward In particular is where the
real trouble exists.
Higgins and Edward T. Mitchell are now
running the ward politics for the leaders,
much to the utter disgust of many OF the
Bergen Republican Clubs members and
other Republicans. Mitchell was pro-
tested against as chairman of the Organi-
cation Committee by twelve of the MEM
bers of the Ward Association who are
members of the County Committee JACK
Graham remarked that neither of these
people were wanted in the ward and that
the sooner they left the better for the
party. Protests are heard on all sides
against having the couple represent Hud-
son county in arranging for an outing to
Chairman Murphy of the State Commit
tee. Unusual developments are looked for
at the next session of the Ward Associa-
tion and Bergen Club.
