WANTS DIVORCE CASE REHEARD
Bathgate Says He Has New Evidence
of His Wife's Guilt.

James Bathgate, clerk in the Park Ma
tional Bank New York City, and resi-
dent of Hackensack, is seeking to have
a renearing in the divorce suit which
Chancellor Emery decreed against
him some weeks ago Barthgate sued
his wife Grace for divorce naming a call
low youth, Leland Atwood, as co-respon-
dent, but the proof of his wife's guilt was
not convincing
Lawyer w. R. Wilson, counsel for
Bathgate, asked the Vice. Chancellor to-
day to have the case re-opened, saying
that he has discovered new evidence in
eliminating Mrs. Bathgate and Atwood.
What that evidence was he refused to
say.
Lawyer r. NJ. Hart for Mrs Bathgate
opposed the application for the reason
that Bathgate was practically in con-
tempt of court in that he had not paid
up all the costs of the last suit.
TO give him an opportunity to do so the
Vice Chancellor laid the application over
for two weeks.

HELD ON SUSPICION.
Two Rowdies Will Have to Suffsr
for Their Regulations.

John Smith, twenty years old, of No.
262 Barrow street, who has been in the
hands of the police so often that he has
forgotten the number, was again arrested
Friday because the police believed he
could tell who entered the saloon of
Thomas Flynn, at No. lbs Montgomery
street, on Thursday night and stole sew
cral dollars worth of stock. With him is
Robert Sidney. twenty-one years old, a
lodging house lodger. who by his own adj
mission does not work to live.
The boys deny that they robbed the
saloon, but their careers have been such
that the police feel justified in holding
them pending the result of further in
vestigation. Justice Hoos, in the First
Criminal Court, was of the same opinion
and they were held for further examina-
ton.
Flynn's saloon was robbed Thursday
night and complaint made to the police.
The "job" had the earmarks of Smith S
work and he was brought to the station
house. 1t was learned that Sidney was in
Smiths company a great portion of that
night and was also taken in. Both deny
having been in Flynns saloon and ac-
count for their actions from six O'clock
Thursday night to nine o'clock Friday
morning by telling Of half a dozen saloons
they visited and revisited in that time
They told of buying drinks with small
sum OF money they started with and then
borrowing more money to buy more
drinks with and then getting drinks on
credit
Smith has served several terms in Jail
for crimes ranging from drunkenness to
assault and battery and breaking enter
ing and robbery. He bears bad repu-
tation throughout the lower section Of
the city and is an object of constant an
noyance to the pclice authorities.

SESSION.
Hudson's Assent to Support
Sewage Bill and Makes
Call Possible.
SAFEGUARDS FOR THIS COUNTY
City Officials Will Meet to
Put Them in Proper
Form.

In few days there will be held con-
ference between Mayor Hoos, representa-
tives of the Street and Water Board, the
Board of Finance, the legal officers of
the city and the City Health Department
to consider amendments to the Passaic
sewerage bill, which will protect Hudson
county in the event of the proposed sewer
for the publication of the river becoming
fact. The exact date for the conference
has not been fixed, but as Essex is
anxious to have the extra session of the
Legislature to get under way as rapidly
as possible it is expected that the meet
ing will take place in day or two.
This is the result of another conference
held in this city on Saturday between
Senators Hudspeth and McCarter of Es-
sex. Mr.. McCarter called on Mr.. Hud-
speth and asked if Hudson would help
Essex get the special session and pass
the much needed bills.
Mr.. Hudspeth told the bumptuous young
man from Essex that the publication of
the Passaic River was matter in which
Hudson was deeply interested. The people
Of this county recognized the great neces-
sity for removing the great menace to the
health and lives of the people living along
y---g to do all they could to accomplish
that result, but they did not propose to
have that done at the EXPENSE of their
own territory.
Mr.. McCarter then suggested that Mr..
William 7. Hunt president of the State
Sewerage Commission, be called up and
asked about tie matter. Connection was
made with Mr.. Hunt by telephone and
he said it had never been the intention to
build sewer to drain the Passaic River
and empty into the Newark Bay near the
shores of either Greenville or Bayonne
The United States authorities would never
permit such a sewer to be constructed
as in short time it would choke up the
channel and seriously interfere with navi-
cation. 1t was intended to build sew
age disposal works somewhere on the
meadows on the western shore of the bay
which would take care of the contents
of the sewer in a scientific manner with
out their becoming either offensive or
dangerous.
What Mr.. Hudspeth said would be en-
tirely satisfactory to Hudson, and Mr..
McCarter said that new bill would be
drawn up which would embrace the safe
guards which Hudson thought should be
thrown around the project. He suggest
Ell that the officials of Jersey City get
together and put these safeguards in
proper form, and it would incorporate
them in the bill.
Mr.. Hudspeth fell in with this sugges-
tion and the meeting of the city officials
is to be held for the purpose of framing
the provisions necessary to assure the
safety Of this county. The general i'm
preston in this city now is that the extra
session will be held. Since Hudson agreed
to help Essex and vote for the amended
measure the assurance which the Cover
nor required before he would call the Leg
islators together has been given.

NOVEL WILL CASE.
McGaran Bequest to Be Construed
By Chaucery Court.

Vicar General O'Connor. of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Newark, was party
to a suit argued in Chancery Chambers
this afternoon before Vice Chancellor
Emery. The case involves a bequest to
the Vicar General (acting as Bishop
during the vacancy in the See) OF money
for the maintenance of a Roman Catholic
orphan asylum for Hudson county, and
for the support of the Paulist Fathers.
The suit before the Chancellor was that
of James J. Zabriskie against Lydia Ann
McGaran and ex-senator Brinkerhoff, who
appeared for the complainant, said that
in 1864 Thomas McGaran left by will his
property to his wife during her lifetime,
and at her death to their son Thomas.
The testator's wish was that should his
wife or son die before the same came into
the possession of his property it should
be disposed of as follows" "One-half to
go to the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum
Of Hudson county" for the support and
to be appropriated to the Roman Catholic
the Paulist Fathers.
Thirteen days after the elder McGaran
made his will he executed codicil in
which he directed that on the death of
his wife and son without bearing issue to
inherit his property half of the income
Of it should go to the Catholic Orphan
Asylum mentioned before and the other
half Of the income should be paid to
Bishop J, Roosevelt Bailey the prelate
of the diocese; the money to be applied
by the Bishop for the education of indi-
gent divinity students of the Roman
Catholic faith. The testator died one
month after, and his widow died in March,
1890. Bishop Bailey is dead and also his
successor, Bishop Wigger.
Now the questions have arisen whether
the son Thomas r. McGaran was en-
titled to the entire interest in the sur
plus monies Or only life estate ard
whether bis children was entitled to any

SPOILED A RAID
Too Jealous lnformers
Couldn't Wait for Police
to Come.

S. P. C. A. Officer Charles Whittemore
carried word to Hoboken Police Head
quarters late Saturday night that pool
wheel and other gambling machines were
in operation in the saloon of Oscar Dris-
pher, at No. 50 Garden street. Captain
Hayes detailed four bluecoats to accom-
pany Whittemore and raid the place.
Whittemore, who did not wait for the
patrolmen, but ran on ahead, entered the
saloon and with a dramatic flourish pro-
nounced every man in the place his pris-
oner.
There were over twenty men around the
pool wheel and half as many more trying
their luck where an "under-seven-over-
seven, dice game was in operation. All
hands rushed for Whittemore, who drew
Colts army revolver foot and half
long, and warned them not to come
nearer.
Lets shove the gun down his throat?"
suggested some one, and the rush for
Whittemore started anew. Some one
grabbed him from behind and was trying
to wrest the firearm from his grasp when
Detective Fall and five patrolmen dashed
into the room.
A wild scurrying for doors and windows
followed the appearance of the police.
Patrick Kanaugh, who was operating
the pool wheel, and William Thompson,
who was running the dice game, were pre-
vented from escaping. Ellen Feeney, of
this city, who has been arrested several
times in Hoboken was found hiding in a
corner. The three were brought to Police
Headquarters with the proprietor. who
made no attempt to flee
Whittemore, who was blamed by the
police for the escape of the other people
in the saloon. testified in the Recorders
Court today that there were six women
in the place when he entered it.
1t developed at the hearing that Kan
augh was backing both games in the sa-
loon and that he was responsible for their
introduction there. Recorder Stanton ac-
cepted bail for his appearance before the
Grand Jury and paroled the other pris-
anarss as witnesses

ONE FETTER TOO MANY.
Joseph Fetter Again Tries to
Get Rid of His Matri-
monial Tie.

Joseph A. Fetter, of Union Hill, is again
seeking to get rid at least of one fetter,
his wife, with whom he has crossed d
matrimonial sea of troubles. He sued her
for divorce some time ago. She VOL.
Then he said things about her and she
broke his jaw with a bullet from re-
volver, but fearing her aim would i'm

near Kingston with a man, and their love

Dor at Riesters Road House, on the
Saugerties Road, convinced Fetter that
all was not right. He sued, but the trial
judge held that the proof was insufficient.
Not cast down Fetter made closer inquir-
les, and now claims that he has his wife,
as he terms it, dead to rights" and the
offense consists of passing off as the .'un-
known mans wife at the roadhouse
named.
When the first suit was commenced his
wife was SO enraged that meeting him on
a street in Union Hill where he now lives,
she drew revolver and fired at him. 1t
hit him in the face and he was laid up for
several days. He refused to push the case
against her.
To the second suit the wife has filed
an answer denying the charges of wrong

Ryerson, this morning she asked Vice
Chancellor Emery for counsel fees and all
