Mr. Abbey Denies the Charges of Neglect I and Cruelty, but Admits the Aban- donment—The “'ii‘e's Side of .the Case Told-In Court. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.——Justioe Smyth, in special term, part four, of the supreme court, today heard an application‘made by Charles W. Brooke, counsel for Mrs. 'lcr- ence Gerard Abbey, for an order awarding Mrs. Abbey $100 a Week alimony and $500 counsel fee pending trial of her suit for separation brought against her husband, Henry E. Abbey, theatrical manager. ,v Mr.‘ Brooke, in addressing the court, said: "Mrs. Abbey is utterly without means for her support or-with which to prosecute her suit, while Mr. Abbey is in receipt of; at least $10,000 a year as one of the managers of the Metropolitan Opera company. We believe Mr. Abbey has other means or that he will shortly receive other sums of money, but we are unable to say how much. ” ‘ Mr. Brooke then went into the history of the case. He said the plaintiff was mar- , ried to Mr. Abbey in St. Paul’s church, Boston, in September, 1892. They sepa- rated April 2-5, 1896. when Mr. Abbey abandoned his wife. The summons in the case was served July 28 last. At the time of the marriage Mr. Abbey was a widower with two children, a girl 4 years of age and a boy 7 years old, who was crippled and has since died. ‘ Mrs. Abbey assumed control and direc- tion of these children and won their love and affection. . - ' Here Mr. Brooke hesitated a moment and in an impressive manner said: “Mrs. Abbey has always been a kind, lovin’g and virtuous wife to Mr. Abbey. She charges that he has become addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors and has often abused and ill treated her. “The defendant,” continued Mr. Brooke, “has choked Mrs. Abbey until she was almost unconscious and threatened her with a dangerous weapon—to wit, a razor. He has slapped her face, used in- sulting and vile language to 'her and has attempted to destroy the affection of his daughter for his wife by reflecting on her (his wife’s) character in the girl’s pres- ence. 'In January, 1892, while Mr. and Mrs. Abbey were in London, Mrs. Abbey found her husband in an intoxicated con- dition. Struck Her With His Fist. “This was in front of the Grand Opera House. She took him to their hotel, whereAbbey reviled her and reflected on her reputation. He struck her in the face with his clinched 'fist and forced her out of their apartments and lockedher out. ‘ ‘ Mrs. Abbey was obliged togetnservant with ~aipass key to open the door for her. 3“During the last year, ” said Mr. Brooke, reading from the papers in his hand, “the defendant has been in almost a continual state of intoxication, and he has abused his wife until she was in fear of her life.” Mr. Brooke asked that alimony to the extent of$100 a Week and a counsel fee of $500 be granted by the court. In response Mr. Rives, in behalf of his. client, Mr. Abbey, denied every charge of drunkenness, cruelty and nonsupport. As a counter claim Mr. Abbey stated that his wife had instituted a system of espionage on him which became very on- erous. He describes his wife as a woman of violent temper and one calculated to exert a harmful influence over his daughter. Mr. Abbey stated that he had always supported his wife until the unfortunate result of his business ventures made it im- possible, but that, even then, he offered, through his attorney, to furnish her with money as soon as he could earn a sufficient amount to be of assistance. Mr. Rives read a statement from ittie, the daughter of Mr. Abbey. In th state- ment the girl denied that Mr. Abbey ever treated his wife cruelly. Mr. Brooke was anxious to read a letter from the daughter upon the conduct of Mr. Abbey after he took permanent leave of Mrs. Abbey April 5, 1896. This the court thought unnecessary. During the course of Mr. Brooke’s argu- ment it was shown that the income of Mr. Abbey would be a salary of $10, 000 a year, received from the recrganized firm' of Ab- bey, Schoefiel 8:. Gran. Mr. Rives stated that there will be no unnecessary legal battle, that the charge of abandonment would be admitted, but that any charges of cruelty or misconduct against Mr. Abbey would be strenuously contested. The court decided further argument was not pertinent and granted Mrs. Abbey ali- mony at the rate of $3, 333.33 a year, and Mr. Brooke $300 counsel fees. Chase Goes to Philadelphia.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.—-Fred S. Roth- acker, who was stabbed by Charles Lnndy yesterday, died today. The charge will be changed 'to murder, but it is likely that-a case of self defense will be shown.

BBTROTHAL. Future King of Italy to Marry Prince“. Helene of Montenegro. CETTINJE, Montenegro, Aug. 19,—Vit- torio Emmanuele. prince of Naples, eldest son and heir apparent of the king of Italy, is betrothed to Princess Helene of Monte- negro, third daughter of- the - reigning prince of Montenegro. The princess, who was born Jan. 8, 1873, is beautiful, of fine physique, highly educated and *is .not. no- customed to luxury or even to much com— fort. 'In fact, she hardly knows what it is to have pin money or a wardrobe allow- ance. She has been brought up in the style of a highland chieftain’s daughter of the last century and was at one time an- nounced as engaged to King Milan of Servia. - ‘ = The Prince of Naples, whose matri- monial prospects have been commented upon in the newspapers for years past, and who has at some time or other been re- ported engaged to nearly every unmarried princess in Europe, including Princess Maud Of Wales and Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, first niet Princess Helene at Venice and was greatly struck with her beauty. As the princess was held I in reserve as a wife for the present czar, in case the Hessian match was not consum- mated, the c2ar.naturally is greatly inter- ested in her future and will in all proba- bility bestow upon Montenegro further marks of his approbation, which may or may not take the form of arms, ammuni- tion, etc., as was the case not long ago. Bar-Iris Is Not o‘erwillin. The Princeof Naples, it is well known, has entertained a strong dislike for mar- riage. It has been pointed out that he is not blessed with a strong constitution, al- though it is not known that there is any- thing organically wrong about him, but perhaps his morbid sentiment on the sub— ject can best be expressed in words at- tributed to him when discussing his health. He said: “I shall never marry.” for a reason, he replied.- “I will not give Italy a hunchback king.” ‘ His uncle, Prince Oddone, was a'hu'nch- back and otherwise deformed, ‘and this seems to have made a serious impression on the sensitive mind of the young Prince of Naples, who otherwise is pronounced to be a most amiable and worthy young man. The objection of the Prince of Naples to marriage has been so strong that specula- tion had it that he would resign his suc- cession to the thro‘no in favor of King Humbert’s nephew, the Duke of Aosta, who was married last year to Princess Helene of Orleans, daughter of the. late Count of Paris, and who has been looked upon In some quarters as the possible fu- ture king of Italy. ' The Prince of Naples is of short stature, grave and sedate in manner, and resem- bles his grandfather, King Victor Em- manuel, anfl, his father, King Humbert, in the fact that he rarely smiles. The prince has a decided bent .for French and English, in addition to Italian, readily and is looked upon as one of the most admirable of all the royal princes of Europe. ' NATIONAL LEAGUE BBATBN. Flne Against Captain Tebeau of Cleve- land Declared Illegal. ~ CLEVELAND, Aug. 19.5-Capta‘in Oliver Tebeau of the local baseball team came out of his memorable fight against the Na- tional league today with flying colors. Judge Noble rendered his decision in the Tebeau injunction case today. Only a few “fans" were on hand, and President When pressed OLIVER TEBEAU. Robiscn, who had followed the entire proceedings from the start, was not in at- tendance at the closing‘scene. But when the ruling of the court was imparted to him be deemed himself the happiest man on earth. Besides declaring the fine ille— "gal the court ruled that it would grant a new injunction to prevent the League from either interfering with the Cleveland team or its captain but for the fact that the same object-s were assured by continu- ing the original restraining order in force and that more wrong might be done than obviated by any other course. The object of the injunction pra'ved for in the petition was to prevent the hational league from collecting an alleged wrong- ful$200 fine assessed against the local cap- tain or barring the team or player from participating in championship games. “Lucky” Baldwin to Retire.

Scnrnsna, Aug. 19.eAllsa, Britannia, Satanita .and Meteor. started today in a race for the Vice Commodore’s cup‘ and £25 ($125). _ Not long after the start Meteor ran into Baron von Zedwitz’s American 20 rater yacht Isolde. , The latter was dis- masted, several of her crew were knocked overboard, and Baron von Zedwitz was so seriously injured by falling rigging that he died while being taken to the hospital at Hyde. , The accident caused considera- ble excitement and confusion ashore and afloat. and it was at first reported that‘it was Emperor William’s yacht which had been dismasted. All the members of the crew of Isolde who were knocked over- board were_ saved _ by the boats from the other yachts. _ Baron von Zedwitz was a German privy councilor and a member of both thereichs- tag and the Prussian diet. He had been in parliament for about 25 years, was a 'leading authority on finance in politics and was leader of the free Conservative party. Although comparatively a young man, he was unanimously recommended in 1890 by the . state cabinet for the then vacant post of minister of finance, but Was not appointed because the emperor had taken a fancy to Dr. Miquel. ' Causes of the Disaster. fl articulars of the disaster show that in pa ing the committee boat the big yachts Britannia 'and Meteor were then almost abreast of Isolde and narrowly escaped a collision. Britan- nia suddenly shifted her helm to avoid the Saint, when Meteor struck Isolde,_sweep— ing her from stem to stem with her bow- sprit. Isolde’s mainmast and sails crash— ed overboard and carried with them nearly all the crew of Isolde and severely crush— ing Baron von. Zedwitz. Britannia-and Meteor immediately hove to and lowered their boats for the the assistance of the men struggling in the water. Ailsa and several other yachts followed their ex- ample. , . Baron von Zedwitz when pulled out of the water was found to have a bad cut on the head and was bleeding Lem the ears. He was taken on board a steam yacht which made immediately for Rydehwhere the nearest hospital was located, but . he died while on board the yacht. ..
