In the months of March and April

assigned to that part of the city from
midnight to morning and the uniformed
force on the night tour was increased six

Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning
continued the hearing in the application
of Herman Foth to set aside conveyance
of property in Carlstadt made by his
aged father to Caroline Ellenberger, and

same property.

that his father who was over so years
old at the time he made the will and
ded was utterly incapable of transacting
business and completely under the control
of Mrs. Ellenberger.
Mrs. Elleuberger filed an answer in
which she declares that Herman Foth's
cruel treatment of his father caused the
old man to leave his house and seek
shelter with her.
He promised her that if she would take
care of him for the rest of his life, pay
his debts when he died and give him a
decent burial he would leave him all his
property. She did so and received the
property. The Vice-Chancellor reserved
his decision

STOOD BY THEIR MOTHER.
Meyer Boys Testify in Their
Parents Divorce Suit.

h Vice Chancellor Pitney's time was
taken up Monday afternoon in listening
to the case of Marie Meyer for a
divorce from her husband Albert Meyer
on the ground of desertion and extreme
cruelty. The parties to the suit were
married in Byvaria and have five chill
dren. Meyer came to this country about
ten years ago and opened a drug store
on Pahsade avenue. He prospered and is
said to be we'll to do. His wife follow
ed him, as he claims, against his wishes
as he desired to have her remain in
Germany and educate his children. His
wife declares that soon after her arrival
in this city he began to III treat her,
abuse her and even do her violence, until
she was finally obliged to leave him.
Meyers denies his wife's charges and
claims that she abused him and i'll
treated him. The three Meyer boys Her
man. % years old, Fred, q years old
and Henry, 10 years old took the stand
and testified for the mother. They
corroborated her testimony of her hus-
bands cruelty. The two older boys said
their fathers treatment of themselves
was so unbearable that they had to leave
home and work elsewhere. When the
complainant rested her case several wit
nesses were INTRODUCED by Meyer to prove
that he was a man of peaceful and agree
able temperament. The testimony of one
of these created much amusement. He
was Policeman Rockford of this city.
He testified that he had been patroling
the post on which Meyer lived for fifteen
years. He knew the doctor he said and
that his reputation in the neighborhood
was of the best. On cross-examination

practicing medicine Illegally and the
policeman acknowledged he did. The case

WHY ISN'T THIS REPAIRED i?
Thirteenth Street Asphalt is In
Miserable Condition.

There is some complaint about the con-
dition of the asphalted roadway of
Thirteenth street at the foot of the via
duct. 1t is full of holes and ruts and peo-
pie driving in the vicinity, especially driv-
ing down the incline, get badly shaken up.
John Casey. of Thirteenth and Grove
streets, took his daughter Anastasia out
driving yesterday. The young lady is just
recovering from a severe illness.
AS they rode down the viaduct the
speed of the vehicle was naturally faster
than it was on level road. The wheels
struck several holes and ruts. the car
riage was almost upset and both occu-
pans received a bad shaking up.
The Mexican Asphalt Co.. which
asphalted the street last fall agreed to
keep the roadway in proper repair for one
year.

MOTOR Co. MOVES HERE
Will Establish It's Factory
In Harrison--C Capital
S3,5OO,0OO.
[speclal to ''The Jersey cIty News."1


TRENTON, June g. 190o.-A charter was
granted to the Story Motor and MACHINERY
Company, with an authorized capitaliza<
tion of $3.500.000, yesterday, and the worka
of the concern will shortly be removed
from this city to Harrison, where. it IS
claimed. the facilities for manufacture ara
much better.
The Story Motor Company, which, un-
til yesterday. was but a firm, has had q
factory at the corner of South Broad
street and Hamilton avenue for two
years past, occupying a portion OF the
plant of the Trenton Iron Company.
The company manufactures motors.
dynamos, air pressure switches, control
lers and a big variety of other electrical
appliances, chiefly the inventions of Inle
Story, and has been doing an extensive
business since it came here from Phila-
delphia.
Its object in locating here, according to
Mr.. Story was because of the advan-
tages that the city seemed to offer, and
because of the fact that the Trenton Iron
Company was doing a great deal of iron
work for the firm.
The increased business, and the fact
that the Trenton Iron Company has sufh-
eient contracts of it's own, together with
the fact that skilled labor, such as is ne
cessary in he business, is not available
here, are given as reasons for the change
from Trenton to Harrison.
Mr.. Story, in talking with a reporter
about the change, said that it was inn
possible to get a sufficient number of
skilled mechanics to take up their resi-
dence here, while in Harrison he would
have Newark, Jersey City and Paterson,
and even New York, to draw upon.
He stated that his company was fur
ther hampered by its inability to get the
manufactured iron parts that the Tren-
ton Iron Company had been making for
it, and that in the Harrison plant the
company would do dts own iron work
The company will not move for at least
a month to come, as the Harrison fec
tory will have to undergo considerable
of a change before it can be occupied for
the manufacture of motors.
The stock in the new corporation IS
held by Mr. Story and by New York.
Philadelphia and Boston capitalists, and
it is proposed TO spend about $4,000 in
building an addition to the already ex-
listing plant at Harrison. About two
hundred people will be employed at the
new plant, although but thirty to forty
were employed here.
The goods manufactured by the Story
Company are IN use all over the world,
shipments having recently been made to
St. Petersburg, Berlin. Honolulu, Paris
and other foreign points.
