The Husbands Protection society Of
London has as its motto the naive
verse found in what is known as the
Wife Beater's Bible, published in 1549,
copies Of which may be found in many
museums and Libraries. This verse is
as follows:
"He dwelleth wyth his wyfe accord
inge to his knowledge and taketh her
as a necessarye healper and not as a
bonde servant or a bonde slave. And
If she be not obedient and helpful to
hym he endeavoureth to beate the fear
of God into her heade that thereby she
maye be compelled to learne her dutie
and to do it."-London News.

tests originating out of the recent pri-
maries held throughout the county for

Committeeman James Whalen and
George La Points. in the Second district

friends still claim that their candidate
received the most votes. The protest
in behalf of Bruno is made by the Amer

ExPRESSMEN'S UNION.
After Secret Meeting a Mem
Der Says the Aim Is to
Work Together.

About one thousand New York and
local express drivers and helpers, whose
aim is to promote interest in the Eastern
Express Helpers Union that is being or
ganized. met yesterday afternoon in St.
Michnel's Hall. Erie and Tenth streets,
this city. Seven hundred and fifty MEM
bers were enrolled. The meeting was
held behind closed doors. Before ad-
journment everybody who. attended
pledged himself to secrecy regarding the
business transactions.
1t is said the helpers are forming an
Eastern Union for the purpose of asking
for advanced wages. When asked by a
reporte. for "The News If this is SO,
an express helper said:-- .
"The union in the east is being organ
lied for the purpose of being united in
all matters. We are not getting togeth-
er to ask for increased wages or shorter
hours, but we want to be able to request
any concessions as a body. Often times
expressmen wanted the companies to
do certain things, but had to back down
simply because others who promised they
would stand by them did not at the last
minute. This union will seucceed and
be good thing"
There were number Of express
"spies" on hand yesterday to find out
what was going on, and to report to the
various companies. They were singled
out and learned very little.
President G. Ford, Of the State Feder-
alton of Labor addressed the express
men. He said the organization Of a
union was beneficial to both employer
and employe.
ssrhis union,'' he said, '.has not been
established for the purpose of starting
stril-es. Unions are good thing for the
employer because they keep the men to-
gether. An effort is always made to
avoid strikes. but when the rights Of man
are trespassed upon they are unavoid-
able"
Mr.. Ford complimented the men who
represented every express company with
a branch in the County on the interest
being taken in the new union.

TWO LIVES
LOST BY FIRE
Frederick Fabian and Will

Beyond Recognition
in Bayonne.
ALONE IN A BOAT HOUSE.
No One Knows How the
Blaze Started or How
the Men Met
Death.
ALONE IN A BOAT HOUSE

Captain Frederick w. Fabian and
William Crommy. two well known Third
ward residents of Bayonne, were both
burned beyond recognition last night, dur
ing fire in Louis Smiths boathouse on
New York Bay shore.
These two victims of the fire were
supposed to have been the sole occupants
of the building last night, having been
left there for the night by the owner
who closed the place about eight o'clock
as was his custom Sunday evenings. Fire
was discovered half an hour after mid
night The building and contents were
totally destroyed. The loss to Mr.. Smith
is estimated at $500, uninsured.
The origin of the fire is mystery. 1t
is thought that Crommy, who is an invet-
crate smoker, may have been RESPONSE
bic for the fire. The Bayonne police be.
men were the result Of an accident They
believe the men were suffocated while
sleeping.
The boathouse was popular resort at
the foot of East Fortieth street, near the
Pavonia Yacht Clubs Bayonne anchor
ages The location is isolated and was
difficult for. the fire department to reach
the fire.
Captain Fabian was a single man,
about fifty years DID, who was brought
to Bayonne nearly fifteen years ago by
Winfield Scott Chamberlain of Fishers
Lane. He lived with the Chamberlain
family and sailed Mr.. Chamberl'n's
yacht many years. Everybody in the
Third ward knew him favorably.
Mr.. Crommy was a painter, about six
ty years old. He leaves wife and fam.

PFEFFERLE HEIRS WIN.
Want Chancery Court to Com
pei Executor to Pay Money
for Support.

The children of the late John F.
Pfefferle, of Newark. were in the Court
of Chancery today to demand that
Charles F. Herr of Newark. executor of
their fathers estate, shall pay them a
sufficient sum for their maintenance.
Herr. SO the children say, has since
August last refused to supply the chill
dren with support of any kind, as he was
directed to do under their fathers will.
BY the inventory Pfefferle left per-
sonal estate of S49,617.70 and real prop
erty amounting to $4,000. The chill
dren are Florence, Gertrude and Fred
erick all under twenty-one years of age
Their petition, presented by Lawyer
Samuel Besson, of Hoboken, shows that
their father died in January, 1892, leav-
ing a will by which Charles F. Herr was
named executor, and he is still collecting
the incomes from the real estate and
securities. The widow of the testator
subsequently married again and is now
Mrs. Margaret e. McClelland.
The bill goes on to say that each child
should have received 1886 year, but
the estate should have yielded larger
income, they believe. Since February.
Herr. the children say, has refused to
furnish sufficient money for clothing fer
them, and from August refused support
of any kind. They some time ago
brought suit in the Essex County Or
phans' Court to compel Herr to pay over
such sums necessary for their main
tenance, but the suit was dismissed for
want of Jurisdiction.
The eldest daughter, Gertrude, is a
student in the East Orange Resident and
Day School preparing for teachers po-
sition, and Frederick is a clerk in Wall
street at a salary of $5 a week. The
children are boarding with Mrs. William
F. Dobecki Of Ampere, who has loaned
money to support the petitioners.
When the case was called this morn
ing before Vice Chancellor Pitney, Judge
Chids of Essex appeared for Herr and
Mr. Besson for the children. Judge
Childs asked that the case be laid over
for a week to enable him to produce
bills He intimated that the principal of
the estate had been depleted and Miss
Gertrude had received more than her
share already.
"But ought not these children to re-
ceive some support?'' asked the Vice
Chancellor.
'There are many questions involved
here" replied Judge Childs. "and one
week won't hurt either side"
1t was agreed therefore that an ad-
journment should take place and counsel
made arrangement as to exchange of
documents required.

Freeholders Elect Will Soon
] Hold a Conference Rippe
for Director.

The members-elect Of the Board Of
Freeholders. which will assume charge
Of County affairs on December /, will
hold preliminary conference the pres
ent week when matters relating to the
organization OF the new County govern
ing body viii be discussed.
As previously told. Treeholder Fred.
erick Rippe, of Union Hill, will be chos-
EN- director, and Clerk John p. Eagan
will have no opposition for reelection.
Aside from a possible change in the
County attorneyship, it is not likely that
any of the present employees of the
County will be disturbed. The present
force is efficient and every man and wo-
man is needed.
The Board now in control of County
affairs two years ago began wedding
process by which the services of unneces-
sary employees were dispersed with.
Many were dismissed on charges or al
lowed to resign and no successors were
named. This has resulted in the force
Of employees being reduced to the mini
mum with which the work of the differ
ent departments of the County govern
ment can be properly done.
1t now seems likely that James J. Null
vaney. counsel of the County Board Of
Health. will succeed Alex. Young as
County Attorney, and that ex-Assembly-
man John Dinnin will be named for Mr..
Mulvaney's position.
