CAUGHT BY HIS WIFE.


BROOKLYN CHURCH.
NEW YORK, April 5.-Tae congregation
of Cspt. Fred Chevalier's church, on Schenck
street near Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, Is just
now stirred TO its depths over scandal con-
corning a fair sister, Annie Wade, and a
married brother named Foster. Capt. Fred
Chevalier is one OF two brothers who are
both prominent lights in the councils CT the
Salvation Army, his brother George being
commander of a barracks on MerrIck avenue.
A reporter called on Mrs. Foster at No. 1872
Kent avenue, to learn her eide Of the story.
The lady is a tall and slender brunette of
about twenty five yeare, with splendid teeth
and swapping blue eyes that bode i'll for any
female suspected by her OF tampering with
her copjugal relations. She said she did not
desire any further publicity 10 the matter, but
at the came tine since she had en- uDjustiy
accused of being jealous and without apy
foundation, she would tell her side Of the
story. "Last Thursday lady friend called
on me aud said she noticed that | was
troubled about my husband, and il / would
call at 175 Hall street L could find out the
reason. 1 went to The house, which Is a Ia
dies boarding house, and known as the Sis
ters' Home, and inquired If Miss Annie
Wade lived there, and whether any gentle
men ever called on her. l learned enough
10 cow nee me DusDdnu Wdb III the
habit OF Calling for Miss Wade every even
ing and taking her to Brother Chevalier's
church, and afterward for long walks. Now
would like 10 zee the woman who would
not get Jealous when she knows that her hus-
band is escorIing q single lady 10 church every
night, and walking for three or four hours
with her through the loneliest streets and
avenues of Brooklyn. But Pm not jealous
there is not bit of Jealousy about me.
| When found this out i made up my mind
TO meet them, so l put on my hat and cloak
and waited that evening on the corner of
| Willoughby and Kent avenues, and by
| and by up they came, arm in arm.
had very often met Miss Wade at
| church, and thought she was very pious and
| lady-like. As soon as they came up to me
| Just went for her and grabbed her by the
throat. tore her collar of and ripped the
feathers out of her hat, and bumped her up
| against the fence until she said would break
her back, and 1 said 1 would like 10 break
her neck. Two gentlemen separated us and
| she ran home"
"What became of your husbsnd?" said the
reporter.
| 'sOh, he Just took his hat in his hand and
ran as fast as he could. l don't see what he
could see in her at ALL" said Mrs. Boster,
"She is real ugly. Well, the next day ]
/
and desert me and nay two Children. So /
went down to the Office, stopped his m )ney
and got out warrant for threatened deser-
| ton, and when he went to gel paid eff the
| detectives arrested him and took him before
Judge Walsh, who placed hlm under bonds,
| His father, who is one of the incest
| old gentleman that ever lived, went
his security and told me to never minJ, as
h would look after me in case OF any
trouble" 'To think of it," said Mrs Foster,
| "the artiul thing. When l uaed TO meet her
at church she was always quite distant with
my husband and so nice and loving 10 me-
Mr.. Foster denies that any but the most cor
rect relations exist between him and Miss
| Wade, and savs he only accompanied her to
i church while his wife was sick. Miss Wade
also indignantly denies the aspersions on her
character. Opinion is much divi led in the
matter but 10 the meantime Miss Wade no
longer attends the religious exercises of the
Salva,son Army conducted under the auspices
of Gen. Fred Cheyalier, at his barracks on
4 Scaenck street
