Couple Leaye 3 Months Old Baby.
Joseph Byland, a bartender out of work,
~strangled his young wife, May, and shot
himself to death yesterday morning on
the top floor Of the old fashioned house,
once the residence Of prosperous people,
at 33e East Fifteenth street, within sight
of Stuyvesant Park. Thu couple had been
living u~nhappily for nearly half a year
Two months ago.. Byland, who had
beaten his wife, was reproved by her
mother, Mrs. Richard Nurse, wife of a well
to dc cooper of IS Second avenue. Byland
later attacked Mr.. Nurse and his son Charles
with a knife, cutting the fingers of young
Nurse badly and slightly wounding the
father in the breast.
Byland was arrested and held by Magis-
trate Crane for felonious assault, The
wife interceded for him and the Nurses
decided to withdraw the complaint. Byland
was released. but he was no 'gentler with
his wife. He was too unsteady to hold a
Job and had been out of work several weeks
A few days ago he beat his wife again
and she made up her mlnd to live apart
from him, going to her mothers home
She and her mother decided to store the
furniture and let Byland shift for himself
until he returned to reason. Meanwhile
Byland slept in the house.
The wife went there yesterday morning
to finish packing up, About Q o'clock
Mrs. Reynolds, who lives on the hoor pc
low, heard something fall. She knew that
Mrs. Byland was moving and supposed that
some articl0 of furniture had toppled over;
A van drove up to the house later in tine
morning and the driver went to the third
floor and raped at all the doors but got
no response.
In the afternoon Mrs, Byland's brother
Charles appeared with another van. He
went up to his sisters rooms and forced a
door. He found Byland lying dead on the
clothing, with a hole in his right temple
and a pistol near him. -
Mrs. Byland was wedged between a roll
NJ CARPET and the surbase OF the 'front.' wall
OF the parlor. Finger marks on NJ throat
showed that she had been choked 70 death.
Coroner Hamburger looked at the bodies
and declared that the man had strangled
his wife and shot himself.
The Coroner's son, who is a lawyer, and
who accompanied him. recalled that he
had been counsel for the Nurses in their
prosecution of Byland for felonious assault.
The Bylands leave a baby three months old.

Comptroller Herman A.. Metz spoke be-
fore the Tammany Club of the Tenth As
sembly District at AZ Second avenue last
night. He let up on Mr.. Coler, but made a
few rapid fire remarks about municipal
ownership, reformers and the wages Of
CITY employees. Judge George +. Roesch
introduced Mr.. Metz as a business man in
politics.
"You talk of a business man in politics,
said the Comptroller. THE first thing the
politicians do to him is to try to put him out
of business.
The first target was salaries.
sOf $4,000 employees of the city, half are
not paid enough" said Mr., Metz. Some
clerks do not receive as much pay az they
did ten years ago. A man who is handling
millions ought to receive more than 81 200.

st. Peters German Lutheran Church

st. Peters German Lutheran Church
at KreischervilIe.
The members and congregation of
st. Peters German church, of
Kreischerville, are making prepara-
lions for celebrating the twcnty-ffth
anniversary of the church Sunday.
November A, with very impressive
and appropriate services during that
day. A special musical program will
be arranged for the occasion. Ser
vices will also be held each day dur
ing the following week from that
Sunday. Rev. DR.. g. A.. Meury, of
Jersey City Heights. a chaplain in
the United States Army, Rev. DR..
julius Geyer, of New York city, and
other visiting clergymen will be pres
ent at the celebration. The Rev. DR..
Jacob Ganss, pastor of the church.
and who has served in that capacity
for the past tw~enty-four years, will
conduct the service.
The church was built by b.
Kreischer in 1881 and was given by
him to the German people OF Kreisch-
erville for a place to worship. The
first minister who occupied the pull
pit at that time was the Rev. DR..
Mohn, of Hoboken, and the second
was the Rev. G. F. Klein, of New
York city, each having only stayed
about six months, and the present
pastor having been there since that
time. He is also pastor of st. Paul's
German church, in Perth Amboy,
where he holds service each Sunday
afternoon. The church is still in a
flourishing condition. A the time of
its organization it had about two
hundred and fifty members, but at
present it has but one-quarter of that
number, as most of the German peo-
pie have left that place for other
parts. A grand weeks celebration is
looked forward to by all.

Work at the new shipbuilding
plant of Harry Cossey, in Railroad

eral jobs were refused last week, as
it was impossible to do them, as the
yard is now taxed Il its capacity.
About fifty more men have been en-
ployed in the past two weeks, making
a total of one hundred and fifty men
now employed there.
Another one of the large scows is
almost finished and will be launched
n day this week, this making n
fourth one of this kind built at this
yeard since it began operation sever
al months ago. These scows are De-
ing built for the Interstate Lighter-

at a cost of $3.50, 600. The large car
float for the Bush Terminal Com

means enough work to last for some
