PECULIAR CHANCERY SUIT
Mrs. Eta Carlson Wants Her
5000 Back From Her
Husband.

Vice-Chancellor Stevenson has fixed
hearing in peculiar suit brought by
Mrs. Eta Carlsen. of Paterson, against
her husband, DIR. Marx Carlsen, at Long
Island City. She asks for a decree of
separation and the return of $780, which
she alleges she paid for her husbands
education.
Some years ago, she says her husband
was a dry goods clerk in Brooklyn with
aspirations to become a physician. She
was milliner with 5000 in bank. She
lived with her aunt in Myrtle. avenue AT
ter several meetings Garrison declared his
love and also told of his aspirations. Miss
Joh3nssen agreed, she alleges, to give him
5000 to put him through the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons. While still
student Carlsen visited this city, where
she was visiting relatives and they were
married here, agreeing to keep the mar
riage a secret until Carlsen should be
graduated.
When Carlsen got his diploma he went
out to Cincinnati to begin practice but
returned to geet a baby daughter and Get
tied down with his family in Long Island
City. The frequent visits of a poor rela-
tive from Paterson annoyed the doctor.
He alleges he discovered that the baby
born to his wife during his absence had
died shortly after birth and that the in
fant of the needy relative had been adopt
ed by Mrs. Carlson who palmed 1t on on
him as her own.
A violent quarrel followed this alleged
discovery. Mrs. Carlsen refused to send
the baby away. She has since resided
in this city where the suit for separation
was instituted. She not only prays for
alimony as a deserted wife. but wants
the court to take into consideration the
investment of 5000 which she declares she
will lose altogether unless a court or
equity comes to her rescue.

LONG BRANCH co. WINS
Injunction and Receiver of the Sill
yer King'' Refused.

ice-Chancellor Stevenson this morning
denied an application to appoint receiver
for the steamer 'fSilver King and compel
the N. Y. and Long Branch s. S. Co. to
transfer to the N. Y. and Monmouth
Park s. S. Co. the boat leased by the lat
ter to the former.
The Monmouth Park Company bought
the boat and ran it from New York to
points on the Shrewsbury River. 1t is
charged that directors of the N. Y and
Long Branch Company bought stock In
the Monmouth Company and had them
selves elected to the directors board of
that company. A lease was drawn leas-
ing the boat to the Long Branch COM
pany for $2,52S per annum. This lease
was attacked by Gilbert H. Tuttle and
Henry Brecknell, stockholders of the
Monmouth Park Co., on the ground that
the lease was void because directors of
the lessons were directors of the lessees
and that 1t practically put the Monmouth
Company out of business.
The testimony showed that the old direc-
tors of the Monmouth Company had re-
signed and an Independent board had
been elected, and it had approved the
lease. For this reason the application
was refused. AA

HIS TWO WIVES
Swatliok Confronted in
Court By Nos. /
and 2.
THEY MAKE COMMON CAUSE
Neither Cares Much for Him
and Both Are Bent on
Revenge.

Frank Joseph Keller, or frank Swat
lick, he has borne the two names, of No
Ill Twelfth street, was arrested on q
charge Of bigamy Saturday night in 3
saloon al the above address. Detective
Daniel Lee. of Police Haadquarters, made
the arrest on d warrant issued by Police
Justice Hoos in the First Criminal Court
In court this morning he faced his two
wives.
He took his predicament in the most
matter of fact manner possible, admitted
both marriages, and smiled as he was led
to cell, in default of $500 bail, to await
the action of the Grand Jury.
Wife No. 2, whom he married under the
name of Frank Joseph Keller, ON Nov.
%, 1899, at her home, No. II Sussex street,
where she lived as widow, Mrs. Mary
Gross, was the complainant against the
prisoner. She was looked up by wife No.
/, who has been Mrs. Mary Swatlick since
April II, 1887, when she married the pris-
oner in Kingston, Pa, where he was a
clerk and known as Frank Swatlick. Both
wives met in court before Judge Hoos
took the bench, and cordially shook
hands When the case was called they
walked up to the Judges bench arm IN
arm, and told the stories of their court
ships and marriages.
Mrs Swatlick, wife No. l. said that she
met the prisoner fifteen years ago in
Kingston, Pa, and after a courtshtp of
a year they were married. They lived
happily until 1898, when the husband sud
denly disappeared He was last seen two
days after the funeral of their second
child Mrs. Swatlick says she made no
effort to find her husband and did not
hear of him until last Wednesday, when
she received a letter of inquiry from
Mrs. Keller and picture, which she
identified as that of her missing husband.
Mrs. Keller was then and is still living
with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Hangoshy.
at No. Al Fifth avenue, Newark Mrs.
Swatlick called on Mrs Keller and after
they compared notes they came here and
had the warrant Issued.
Mrs Keller told the Court that when
she married Swatlick he said that he
was a widower. She learned accidentally
at funeral last July, that her husband
had another wife living and she ques-
toned him about it. He denied the ex-
istence of the first wife. Last June he
learned that she was making inquiries in
Pennsylvania and he disappeared. She
had not seen him until this morning in
court.
Up to month ago the man had been
employed as checker by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, but he has lately been
working about the docks in New York
City.

Mrs Mckenzie heard a cry for help. She
was walking toward the shore on the
bridge which connects Mrs. De Young's
boathouse with the float. Upwards of
forty men and boys stood on the float
and saw the lad struggling in the water
about fifteen feet from the float. yet none
of them made an effort to rescue him.
Hearing the cry Mrs. Mckenzie turned
and rushed to the float. By that time the
youngster had sunk beneath. the surface.:
Without. the slightest hesitation she
plunged in.
A few strokes brought her to the spot
where the boy had disappeared. She al
lowed herself to sink. Before reaching
bottom her head came in contact with the
boys hair. This she grasped tightly. Then
came the struggle to reach the surface
again. Her soaked dress and the weight
of the boy made it a desperate task to
reach the top. She finally succeeded. how
ever, and though nearly exhausted she
SWAN with the boy to the float. Here
willing hands lifted hifr from the water.
Mrs Mckenzie could not climb to the
float She held on for a few minutes to
regain her breath. Then she swan to
shore, a distance of about seventy-fve
feet from the float. She ran 10 the apart
ments of Mrs. De Young, where she got
dry clothing end drank quantity Of hot
tea. AS she walked to the house she was
cheered by the people.
In the meantime Young Smith was be-
irg cared for by several men. He re-
vived after they succeeded in getting
quantity of the water out of him. He was
later taken to his home on Armstrong
avenue A few hours after the accident
Mrs. Mckenzie went to her home on
Princeton avenue.
Mrs. Mckenzie is an expert swimmer
and it is no particularly trying feat for
her to swim a couple of miles. She can
also sail boat as well as the best sailor
along the Greenville water front. She
does not seem to think she did anything
remarkable When questioned about the
rescue she replied that sny of the men on
the float would have done the same thing
if he had known how to swim. She is a
sister-in-law of Mrs. De Young, who con-
ducts the boathouse.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Vice Chancellor Stevenson this morning
made an important electric light pole de-
cision. Mrs. Lillian Platt of Englewood
applied for a mandatory injunction to
compel the Gas and Electric Light Com
pany of Bergen County to take up cleo
trio light poles which it had erected in
front of her home in Englewood, on the
ground that the company had not OBJ
tanned her consent.
The Vice hCancellor holds that as the
wires strung on the poles were solely for
the purpose of lighting the street it was
not necessary to obtain the owners con-
sent and denied the application.

KELLER UNDER THE KNIFE
Fragments of Bone Removed From
Near the Eye.

Another operation, the third was per-
formed Friday on the left eye Of the Rev.
John Keller of Arlington. The physicians
believe that there will be no further ne
cessity for surgical treatment.
An incison was made behind the eye,
and the splinters of bone which have
been pressing against the muscles con-
trolling the organs of sight were removed.
The operation was exceedingly delicate
and the least slip of the knife would have
destroyed Kellers sight completely. 1t
was said to be successful, and Keller to-
day was reported as having received much
relief from the intense pain which at in
tervals he has been suffering.
The operation probably will preclude his
resaming active control of his church for
several weeks
