Umbrellas from Trustee
of Oscar Michael & Go

from the trustee of Oscar Michael Il

Cedar streets, was made yesterday by
a creditor, but without avail. Arthe-
Levy Bernhart Company, OF New

Oscar Michael g. Co. 1000 umbrellas on
consignment. According to the New
York firm, the Newark merchants
agreed to accept a commission on all
umbrellas sold.
David II. Bilder, representing the
trustee, Judge Cecil II. MacMahon,
argued the transaction involving the
umbrellas was an outright sale from
the Arthe-Levy-B Bernhart Company to
Oscar Michael g. Co. About 300 UNI
brellas were sold by the local dealers
The remaining 700 were valued at $3.50
which amount the New York CON-
pany sought to recover.
Referee Atwood L. DeCoster decided
the Arthe-Levy-Be -Bernhart Company
had negotiated a sale of the um-
brellas, and was entitled only to the
claim of a general creditor in the
bankruptcy proceedings.

arm, approached Caffrey in Belle

Smith, according to Caffrey, started
to run, whereupon Caffrey, deciding
that was a suspicious act, pursued

ONIONS WANTS
] WIFE TO SHARE
THEIR FORTUNE
Former Saloonkeeper Declares
Better Half Put Profits in
Her Name.

Saying that his wife took advan-
fage of his illiteracy and obtained
possession of the moneys that should
rightfully be divided between them.
George Onions, formerly a saloon
keeper, of 517 Frelinghuysen avenue,
has instituted a suit in Chancery to
obtain his share. Through Lintott,
1<ahrs and Young, he has filed a
complaint against Martha Onions
who he married August II, 1900, and
yesterday Vice Chancellor Emery
signed an order fixing October 10 as
the day for the trial of the cause.
In his petition Onions says that he
was married to the woman he is now
suing on August 10, 1900. He was a
maker of pearl buttons. After they
had been welded, Onions says that
his wife induced him to give up his
trade and take charge of a saloon in
Union avenue, Irvington, which she
Bought for $3.50. Under his manage
nlent the saloon prospered. and four
years afterward it was sold for $1,000.
With the proceeds of this sale Mr..
and Mrs. Onions bought another
saloon, at 517 F'relinghuysen avenue.
lie managed this, and the license was
in his name All of the moneys re-
ceived were deposited, as he thought,
in the bank in their joint names.
The profit accumulated each year
amounted to $1,000. Every time the
savings amounted to enough Mrs
Onions would purchase real estate, as
he thought, IN their joint names.
On May 81, Onions alleges. his wife
threw him out of their home, and il
was not until after this that he dis
covered that all of the bank accounts
and all of the real estate they had
accumulated was in the name of his
wife as sole owner. The real estate,
he says, is worth about $3S,000, and he
now asks the Court of Chancery to
declare that they are owners in COM
mon and that his wife's possession OF
II Is as trustee under a resulting
trust.
In her answer, filed by Jones &
Gleeson, Mrs. Onions says that her
husband always knew that she was
the sole owner of the business and the
profits; that he was never able, be-
cause of his mode of life, to manage
thei business. He always knew that
she was depositing the money in her
own name, and when she bought real
estate she used her own money, with
out consulting him. He was con-
staIitiy intoxicated, she says, and for
that reason she finally parted from
him.

WOMAN AND TWO
MEN RESCUED At
So. ORANGE FIRE
Chief Ash Overcome by Smoke
in Cellar of Burning
House,

Three people, a woman and Two
men, were rescued and Fire Chlel
William NJ. Ash was overcome by
smoke at fire early today in the
! two o-and-a-half story frame dwelling
at Valley and Second streets, South
Orange, owned by Mrs. Louis Riera,
But for the timely discovery of smoke
| issuing from the house by passerspy
| it is probable that the three oceu-
pants would have been suffocated.
| The fire was discovered By two men
who had alighted in South Orange
/ from the 1888 o'clock train on fhe
Laekawanna railroad and were pass
| ing the building on their way home.
| There is no fire alarm box nearby.
One of the men, j. c. Jaeobus, OF
Academy street, South Orange,
stopped an eastbeund Valley street
| trolley car and informed the motor
man of the fire. The latter put on
speed and hurried to the village fire
| headquarters, three blocks away, CIV
ing the alarm.
Mr.. Jacobus, with Patrolmap Will
lam Comerford, returned to the burn
ing house and awakened the oceu-
pants. Mr.. and Mrs. Riera, who were
sleeping on the second Hoor, ana
William j. Clark, who resides on lhe
first floor.
Aroused by the rapping of Police
man Comerford's night stick, Mf
Clarke arose in his smoke-filled room
and managed to stagger To the from
porch, He was partly overcome by
the dense smoke. Several people had
gathered and a ladder was placed
against the front porch and Mr
Riera, leaving by a seeond-story Win
dow, was assisted down the ladder
by Patrelman comerferd and Mr.
Jacohus. Mrs. Riera made her way
down the stairs and was taken IL
the home of a neighbor..
The fire originated in the cellar,
where Mr. Clark had some furniture
stored Spontaneous combustion IL
believed to have been the cause.
When the firemen arrived few min
utes after the alarm had been given
the cellar was a mass of flames.
Chief Ash entered the cellar by
way of small window and was soon
overcome by the smoke. He was as
sisted out by other firemen and re-
viVed. He again assumed charge and
directed his men. The firemen man
aged to confine the blaze to the
cellar The work of the vamps was
praised.
After he, his wife and Mr.. Clark
had been rescued, Mr. Riera asked
the firemen to save, If possible, his
valuable black spaniel dog, Joe,
which was on the second floor, Mat
thew Reynolds, jr., who was recently
appointed a callman in the fire de-
partment, volunteered to save the
dog, and with difficulty assembled the
stairs and found the animal over
come. He carried the animal to the
street.. where 1t was revived in a
half hour. A canary bird belonging
to Mrs. Riera was suffocated.
The damage to the house and fur-
niture, it is estimated. will not ex-
ceed $500.
