swftchmen FntI to Tie Tn Road.

Pittsburg, Nov. 27.-Members of the Switchmen's union failed to tie up the railroads of Pittsburg yesterday and the attempted general strike was not a success. Less than POO men were out, and yesterday afternoon the places were being filled. This is about one fourth the number it was said would strike. The Allegheny Valley division of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pittsburg and Western division of the Baltimore and Ohio system were the hardest hit. The former lost sixty and the latter forty men. The Pennsylvania railroad probably lost thirty and the Baltimore and Ohio (Connellsville and Wheeling divisions) lost eighteen.

After a chase of three years Mrs. Mar
Gus Vanderhoof, of Newark. finally
found her husband in Morristown last
Monday living in comfort with another
woman at 30 Columbia street, while she
has had a hard struggle to obtain the
necessities of life for herself and two
boys. Mrs. Vanderhoof was formerly
Miss Josephine Becher and was married
to Vanderhoof May i, 1887 by the Rev.
Charles Maybury, pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of Newark.
Three years ago her husband deserted
her, the guilty partner of his flight
being a Miss Sarah Hagen. About six
months ago they came to Morristown.
Both attended church regularly, led
religious meetings and bore an excellent
reputation. Since her husbands disap-
pearance Mrs Vanderhoff has been per
sistent in searching for her recreant
spouse and when she located him, she
appeared before Justice Haines and in.
terested him in her case. The latter lives
in the house adjoining Vanderhoof's
home and as soon as .he learned of the
deception practiced by his neighbor was
only too willing to assist the injured
wife.
Accordingly Vanderhoof was arrested
and when arraigned before Justice
Haines was committed to the county
Jail in default Of $500 bail. Later Mrs.
Vanderhoof was placed in possession of
her husbands home by the kind hearted
justice and Miss Hagen ordered to leave
the premises.

ermen at their meeting last Friday night
to secure more severe punishment for
automobiles who race their machines
through the streets of Morristown at a
faster rate than is provided for by the

complaints that have been made made
this action necessary, and instead Of a
fine of $40 a violation of the ordinance
now will cost $25.
Chief Fox reported one general alarm
for the past month, and the resignation
Of j. H. Boniface from the Hum.ne
company, and the expulsion of George
