Cruelty and Desertion Alleged—She As- ses-ts That Her Husband, While In London, Struck Her and Threat- ened to Take Her Life. . NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—An action has been brought in the supreme court by Mrs. Florence G. Abbey, the wife of Henry E. Abbey of Abbey, Schoeifel & Gran, the theatrical managers, whose recent assign~ ment caused such a surprise, against her husband for a legal separation on the grounds of abandonment and cruelty. The papers in the case were served on Mr. Abbey on July 28 last, but until today that fact was kept secret. The service was effected at the Gilsey House, where Mr. Abbey is at present stopping Mrs. Abbey is living at 150 West Fifty-ninth street. The couple have been at outs for some time, but until the service of the papers HENRY E. ABBEY. in the present suit it was believed by mu- tual friends that a reconciliation would be efifected. Mrs. Abbey was formerly Miss Florence. Gerard. She was well known in theatrical circles before she married Abbey in No- vember, 1892, at St. Paul’s church, Bos- ton. At that time Mr. Abbey was a widower with'two children, one a girl of 4 years, who idstill alive, and a boy of 7, a cripple, who died. In her petition Mrs. Abbey says she was abandoned on April 25, 1896. Her hus- band left her. she says, in destitute cir- cumstances and has not contributed a dol- lar to her support since. Cruelty Alleged. She swears that she always acted the part of a good mother to his children and never gave him cause for jealousy. When he deserted her, it was on the pre- tense of taking his daughter to Long Branch for a day or two. The girlywas to be surely back on the illowing Sunday to resume her studies at school, but she never did so, nor did her husband return. Mrs. Abbey says her‘hneband has been addicted to drink and that on sever-aloo- oasions he has struck and abused her. In 1892, when at the Savoy hotel in Lon- don, she found him intoxicated, and on taking him home he struck her. Both her eyes were blacked and her arms were bruised. On another occasion. she swears, her husband tried to choke her, and seizing a razor threatened to take her life. .She swears that although Abbey, Schoef- fel & Gran and Henry E.Abbey individual- ly have assigned the business is to be con- tinued and Mr. Abbey is to receive a sal- ary of $10,000 a year. She swears he has received 3400 during the past two weeks and that he is to re- ceive $200 per week hereafter. On Aug. 10 an application will be made to the supreme court to makeAbbey show why he should not pay his wife $100 per week pending the disposition of the suit and $500 counsel fee. Lawyer Charles W. Brooke is counsel for Mrs. Abbey. 'Home Seekers’ Tents Blown Away.

L ‘ RESCUED A DOG. lie Was the Only Member of the Crew Left on a Derelict Vessel. NEW YORK, Aug. 6.——The German oil tank steamer Mannheim, Captain Ockel- mann, arrived today from Geestemunde. At least one unusual incident marked the voyage. The steamer . left Geestemunde on July 22 in ballast and encountered fresh westerly winds and head seas until the 27th. when the wind shifted and began to blow a gale. About 6 o’clock in the evening, in latitude 48.48, longitude 29.43, a bark was sighted flying signals of distress. She was hove down to port and apparently was in danger of capslzing. Captain Ockelmann approached the dere- lict as closely as he could and sailed around her several times, blowing the steam whistle continually, but no signs of life at first appeared. Finally a large black dog was seen rushing frantically about the deck and barking in great excitement. Al- though thero was a dangerous sea run- ning, Captain Ockelmann decided that it would be well to board the bark and as- certain some definite particulars about her. He could make out her name to be Ernest, and that she was German. Ac- cordingly a boat was lowered, not without great difficulty, and rowed close to the bark. Taking advantage of a favoring lurch of the vessel, the mate of the Mann- heim managed to scramble upon her deck and ran into the cabin toascertain if there was anybody left on board. It was evi- dent that the vessel had been but lately abandoned, and there were on hand'evi- dances of a hasty departure. There was no sign of life visible except the big black dog, who kept up a joyful barking and jumped around the mate in the most ea- ger manner. As the vessel was doomed, there being nearly ten feet of water in the hold, the mate decidedto set fire to her so that she might not become a menace to navigation, as she Jay directly in the path of the trans- atlantic liners. A huge fire was built in the after cabin, and picking up the ship’s papers and calling to the black dog the mate made his way over the side and into the lifeboat, accompanied by the dog, that whined its anxiety. The last seen of the Ernest a mass of flame was pouring out of the companion batches of the after cabin. On arrival in quarantine today Captain Ocklemann was much interested to learn that the crew of the bark had been rescued by the French liner La Bourgogne earlier on the same day on which heboarded her, the details of which have been published. The dog, a very intelligent Newfound- land, was rnnning around the Mann- heim’s decks, apparently happy and con- tented. , KILLED IN A CANYON. A Well Known Milwaukee Man’s Awful Plunge to Death In Manitoba. WINNIPEG, Aug. 6.—Word has been re- ceived in this city of a and accident in the mountains. A party of Americans, headed by Professor Fay of Yale college, were mountain climbing near Lake Louise when one of the party named Abbott missed his footing and fell over a precipice to the bottom of the canyon, 1,000 feet be- low, and was dashed to pieces. His com- panions could see his body lying on a rocky projection of the mountain, but were unable to reach it. The unfortunate man is said to have been a prominent rail- way cfi‘icer who lived in Milwaukee. Par- ticulars of the accident are very meager. A second report said that Mr. Abbott was a resident of Boston.

Abbott of the Wisconsin Central and lived and had his office in Milwaukee. He was well known in Boston. President Abbott lives in Cambridge. which explains an or- rbr in the Winnipeg dispatch in reference to the place of residence of his son. mm ON THE BAMPAGB. The Slayer of Terry Appears to Be Anx- ious to Do More Slaying. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6.—David Naegel, former United States deputy marshal, who killed David Terry seven years ago while acting as a bodyguard to Judge Field of the United States supreme court, became involved in a serious altercation with James H. Barry, editor of The Star, a weekly anticcrpcration paper, which re- cently published a biography of Naegel, in which the latter’s record and character were severely criticised. The two men met on Montgomery street. Pointing to the artiéle in The Star, Naegel demanded, ”Did you put that in?” “I not only put it in, but I wrote it,” replied Barry. _ “Then take this,” said Naogel, spitting four times in Barry’s face, with his hand in his own hip pocket. Naegel then said, “Now fill your hand.” Barry said: “I have been warned you would try to kill me. You are armed and I am not.” Bystandcrs here interfered and separated the men. in an interview subsequently Barry stated he had been warned that Naegel would endeavor to provoke a quarrel and upon the slightest provocation shoot him, having witnesses near by who wenld testify that the shoot- ing was justifiable.

It was a. very small Western town and the only train out of it that night left at 2 o’clock, says Harper’s Mags, zine. The traveling man had impressed upon the night porter of the hotel the importance of calling him is. time for this train. Promptly at 1.80 a prodi. gious knock roused the sleeper. “Say, be yez the man that wants the 2 o’clock train?" “Yes.” was the sleepy reply from within.

"Well," drawled Pat, "yea can go back to bed again, for she's another hcur late." A forcible remark or two proceeded from the traveling man’s room, and were audible to his awakened neigh- bors, as was the departure of Pat; but soon all was quiet again, and the few occupants of the hotel were left for some time to undisturbed repose. Just as the first faint streaks of dawn were tinging the sky P~t once more made his presence known, and, in tones giving unmistakable evidence of recent and heavy slumber. remarked: “Say! if yez is the folly who: wanted Loketch the 2 o’clock thiaiu, yer. can sohlape till mornin’, fer, bedad, the blame thing’s gone.” EX-QUEEN NATHALIE. It is Said Her Wayward Son will Seek the Hand of an Heiress. The boy King Alexander of Servia needs ready money very badly, and he has decided that an American heiress will solve all the troubles of his bank- rupt kingdom. A throne is, therefore, awaiting any American girl who has sufficient wealth to meet the requirements. This is prob- ably the flrst time in American history that such an Opportunity has ever been offered. Along with the distinguish 5. title of Queen goes a palace, a crown, a collec- tion of royal jewelry of stupendous an- tiquity and a number of castles scattered throughout Servia. ‘ Servia is one of the kingdoms that sprung up out of the ruins of the R0- man empire. The people are Slavonic, with some slight traces of the Roman influence. NATHALIE. King Milan, Alexander’s father, was a hotheaded spendthrift and sensualist, with no political skill. He was dis- graced by the defeat which Prince Al- exander inflicted on the Servians. He quarreled with his handsome wife, Queen Nathalie, who has no better tem- per than himself, and treated her shamefully in public. Then he divorced her and expelled her from the country. For a time she kept her son with her. Twice King Milan caused the boy to be kidnapped and taken frdm his mother. On these occasions the young Alexander behaved with much spirit, and resisted the kidnappers furiously. Then a revolution drove Milan from the throne of Servia, and Alexander was proclaimed King, with a council of regency. In 1893, when but 17 years of age, he executed a. coup d’etat, do prived the regents of their power, and became King of Servia. in fact.
