BIG RUSH
FOR SEASHORE
Pennsy and Jersey Central
Putting on Special Trains
for Weekend Visitors.

Heavy demands for chair car reser-
vations and advance ticket sales at
railroad offices in this city Indicate
that many Newarkers are preparing
for a visit to Atlantic City and other
seashore resorts over Sunday.
On the Pennsylvania railroad there
will be special service, and the trains
will be run in two and three sections
to Atlantic City, Asbury Park,
Fortress Monroe and Old Point Com
fort. AS in former years Atlantic
City is the Mecca of thousands, and
according to the railroad officials the
rush to that place will be greater
this year than ever before, owing to
the unusual creations of fashion.
At twenty minutes after midnight
Sunday morning the first excursion
train will leave the Pennsylvania
station in New York for Washington,
d. C.
The travel on the Central railroad
from this city will also be heavy. but
a good part of the traffic for sea-
shore resorts below Asbury Park
starts from New York city.
On the Lackawanna railroad quite
a number of persons have bought adj
vance tickets for trips to the lake.
side resorts. Although the travel in
that direction will not be so great as
to the seaside places, the railroad
officials have noted a marked in

R|KER MUST PAY
LOANS To WIFE
Vice-ChancelIor Howell De-
cides Against Chester Man
in Suit by Wife.

Vice-Chancellor Howell decided yes
terday that Samuel M. Riker must
pay his wife, Mignonette M. Riker,
the sum of $3.50, which, the vice-chan-
cellor determined, was borrowed
money.
Riker who lives In Chester. has
brought a suit against Mrs. Riker for
absolute divorce on the ground of
desertion. Prior to the bringing of
the present divorce suit Mrs. Riker
started a proceeding for separate
maintenance, but withdrew 1t before
trial.
In the action decided by the Vice
Chancellor yesterday, Mrs. Riker
charged that her husband had Dor
rowed $500 from her in April, 1905, and
1850 In February. 1906, and that he has
never paid the money back. Mr..
RilSer admitted receiving the money,
but said his wife had given it to him
to invest in stock of the Eagle Leather
Goods Company, a corporation formed
by him. On the stand. Mrs. Riker
swore that she loaned the money to
her husband for household expenses.
Testifying, Riker said that he had
issued to his wife AM shares of the
stock. When the certificate Of stock
was introduced in evidence 1t was
shown that ii bore his name as the
owner, and not Mrs. Riker's.
The vice-chancellor called attention
to the fact that RilSer received the
money in 1905 and deposited it in the
bank in his own name. The corpora, =
ton was organized in July, 1906, ana
not one of the stock certificates have
Mrs. Riker's name. The vice-chan-
cellor expressed doubt that she ever
saw the certificates. He decided that
Riker had not met the burden of
proof imposed on him by the law, and
that he must account to Mrs. Riker
for the principal.
After receiving this judgment Mrs.
Riker's solicitor, c. G. Parker, APP
peared before Vice-Chancellor Emery
on a motion for counsel fee and all
mony in the divorce suit. He asked
that an allowance of $25 a week be
made. that being the sum allowed in
Mrs. Riker's first suit. w. A. Smith
opposed this. saying that Mrs. Riker
had been unable to prove her charge
of cruelty.
