NO SIGNALS ALLOWED.
Vice Chancellor Pitney
Scores Mrs. Schreiber
for Prompting Wit
ness.


Signals to witness on the stand
brought down q severe rebuke by Vice
Chancellor Pitney this morning on Mrs.
Margaret Schreiber of Hoboken, who is
SUNG her husband for divorce.
Mrs. Schreiber was sitting at the table
with her lawyer. Mr.. James r. Min
turn. while a female friend of hers was
giving testimony as to her husbands s mis-
conduct. A question had been put by the
husbands counsel on ation,
and the witness hesitated and then looked
at Mrs. Schneider, who nodded her head
in the affirmative. The Vice Chancellor
saw this and he angrily exclaimed 8:
This outrageous conduct of signalling to
witnesses must stop, and If see it again
j viii fine or imprfson you. want to say
right here 1t does no good to side when
that takes place"
Mr.. Minturn explained that his client
was replying to question privately put
to her by himself, but the Vice Chancellor
said he saw the woman make signs, and
he wouldn't tolerate it.
The case before the Court was that of
Mrs. Margaret Schrieber against her hus-
band Henry. whom she charges with de-
sertion and cruelty. The parties live in
Hoboken. One of the complaints of
cruelty alleged was that the husband
threw his wife on redhot stove.
Another feature in the case was that
the husband when intoxicated shot his
son Willie, but. fortunately, not fatally
Mrs Schreiber was in her bed at the time
and hearing her son scream, Father has
shot me- ran downstairs in her night
robes, when her husband assaulted her
and flung his watch at her, hitting her in
the eye. Schrefber then took his clothes
and left the house and remained away
for several days.
sHow did he treat your asked Coun-
selor Jas F. Minturn for the wife.
eHe treated ine roughly. II / ask him
for a dollar to buy the children shoes he
pushed me away and struck me-"
s'Did he ever say he wanted to get rid
of your
Eyes. he came to me and told me he
wanted to torment me so I'd die" said the
wife, aand he told me he had a girl worth
$10 000.'
Mrs. Schneider Indignantly denied that
Henry Steils, clerk in a coal company's s
office in Hoboken, was on improper terms
with her and she never said to her hus-
band that she loved him. The accusation
was made by the husband in his answer
which set out that he deserted his wife
because she was criminally intimate with
Steil.
The husbands $ counsel on cross exami-
nation suddenly asked her if she had been
married prior to her marriage to Schrei-
Der to man named Seely. She replied IN
the negative
Did he kill himself shortly after he
married you?"
mo. sir; don't know such man.
said Mrs. Schneider, angrily.
Didn't you permit dissolute men and
women to come to your house?p
No. sir; no, sir; never, sir, snapped
the wife, glaring at her husband, who
smiled ironically
The trial will last all day.

CHEMICAL WORKS ON FIRE
Heroic Efforts Being Made
to Check the Spread
Of the Flames.

The Bulls Ferry Chemical Works, To-
Gated on the bank of the Hudson River
at Shadyside, were reduced to ashes to-
! day by a'fire that broke out at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. The loss is estimated at
| 100000 all of which is said to be covered
by insurance The works covered nearly
four acres They consisted of ten two-
story frame buildings, each 200 by 800
feet.
The fire originated from an explosion
which occurred in the mixing room at
the extreme northern end of the works.
More than 800 men were employed in the
various buildings. They had been drilled
for just such an emergency and when the
alarm was given they rushed for the fire
quarters.
The flames, however, spread rapidly,
despite their efforts. An hour later the
other buildings began to catch fire in
rapid succession and it was evident that
the works were doomed.
The New York fire boat. New Yorker,
was called upon for assistance, but it
was unable to even check the progress
of the fire.
Adjoining the works are the buildinfs
of the General Chemical Company, am
other large concern. Every effort is be-
ing made to save these buildings.
The fire was still burning at two
O clock this afternoon, the only building
left standing Of the Bulls Ferry Works
being the office, a small, one-story strue-
ture.
It was said that two Italians employed
at the works had jumped from second
story window of one of the burning build
ings into the Hudson. They were res
cued with small boat.

county to be what it was many years
ago. This idea seemed to strike his hear
ers about right, as they Justify yelled al'-
proval.
Then he told them that the secret OF
his success in being three times elected
Mayor of the great Republican city OF
Newark was due not to his ability as an
orator, but rather, he was led to be-
lieve. because the people of that city mad
an idea begotten Of experience, that he
had displayed good business ability in the
management of its governmental afTairs.
The Mayor indulged in little humor.
ous fling at the Republican campaign.
saying he was informed that large con-
trihutions to the campaign fund to be
used in Mr.. Murphy's behalf was being
made. "You know what that means,
said he. 1T means a campaign of dol
lars against sense"
Then he went on to say that he didn't
spend a dollar to be elected Mayor Of
Newark, and added parenthetically that
he didn't have any money TO spend.
In his Phillipsburg speech, which was
more extended than the one at Newton,
Mr.. Seymour said he was proud of the
fact that he has risen from the ranks of
labor, for he knew what 1t was to toll.
and when he was accused of displaying a
preference for the laboring man he was
willing to plead guilty, without apologies
to anyone. as he was only returning to
his first love.
ssBut, while I am a friend of labor, :
continued the Mayor. Il will not support
labor when it is wrong. I am not opposed
to corporations. because believe they
are necessary for the management and
conduct of such business affairs as are
beyond the capabilities of any single man.
I believe, too, that corporations, con-
Quoted upon reasonable principles, are
beneficial as well to the laboring man as
to the capitalist But I am opposed to
the amassing of great wealth at the ex-
pense of the mechanic and the laboring
man. Labor is entitled to its share of
whatever prosperity we enjoy. because it
is to labor and its production that much
of our prosperity is due.
The Mayor charged the Republican
party with raising false issue in claim
ing that all the credit of the nations
prosperity belongs to the Republican
party. He scored the Republican Legis-
lature and Executive for falling to prop
erly provide for the soldiers Of the SPAN
ish-American war and their families. He
said that in behalf of the men of the First
Regiment of Newark he appealed to the
Governor to call special session of the
Legislature for the purpose of enacting
a measure of relief, but that the appeal
was never answered, and what the State
should have done, and failed to do, he
said the people of Newark did of their
own accord.
Mr.. Seymour described the condition of
the city of Newark as being financially
among the first cities of the country, and
held this fact up as an augury that un-
der his management the States affairs
will be safely administered.
