Life Insurance Solicitor Dinkelspiel in
New Role.
A spicy proceeding was begun in New
York court day or two ago. The follow
ing is the Herald'S account of it,
At the instance of Messrs. Wetmore &
| Jenner, attorneys of William Dinkelspiel, a
! writ was issued Wednesday and served by
! Special Deputy Sheriff John H. Hitler, in
the absence of Deputy Thomas Carroll, his
chief, on Charles b. Mason, proprietor of
/ the Orange County Stables, at No. "a East
| Seventy eighth street, replevying certain
property in the possession of said Mason, al
legged to belong to Mr.. Dinkelspiel.
The property in question is said to consist
of one pair of horses, two sets of harness,
| brougham, one victoria, enc sleigh, one
whip and one coachmau's suit, of the aggre-
| gate value of $1,000. Mr.. Dinkelspiel exc
cuted bond with two reliable sureties in
the sum of $4,000 to secure Mr.. Mason
against possible loss incurred by the re-
moval of the property, which was turned
over to the custody of the plaintiff by Mr..
| Hitler
And thereby hangs a tale, and a highly
interesting romance it is, too.

medium height, dark complexion and spark

Both gentlemen are fastidiouS in matters
of dress, and members of the various swell

throughout the world, it might he said, as
the most successful insurance agents in the
! United States.
Both William-or, as he is Familiarity
| known among his associates, "Billy"-and
Sam" are prodigal and lavish of expendi-
ture, even to a fault Besides being well
known in social circles, they are equally
| prominent in the sporting world and among

the races, and at Long Branch, Saratoga
and other of the watering places their we'll
| appointed equipages. blooded horses and
iiveried coaChmen and footmen are familiar
spectacles during the summer season.
Last year, at Saratoga, Sam Dinkel-
| spiel is reported to have won $25, 900 in
wagers on one race and then to have pre-
sented the jockey of the winning horse with
50 900 III cold cash for his successful effort.
| He is said to be one of the heaviest
''pluugersn on the American turf More
| over, his Sunday night dinners at his ele-
CANT residence on Madison avenue are re-
ported to be the wonder and delight of up
town swelldom.
Just at present the giver of these dinners
is out of town. His present whereabouts is
| given as New Orleans where he is said to be
attending to certain business interests.
BOTH BROTHERS MARRIED.
The brothers Dinkelspiel are married.
| Their wives are of Southern extraction and
Savannah is their repute1 former residence.
They are well known at all the principal
summer resorts and watering places.
Mrs. SAM DinkeSpiel is tall, spirituelle
and of slim, graceful figure. She has lus-
trous eyes, a captivating smile, which
| betrays beautiful set of teeth, and is
modest in attire. She carries herself with
hauteur and grace, and attracts many ad-
mirers.
Mrs. William Dnkelspiel is petite and
vivacious, has bright, scintillating eyes and
a debOnair manner, is fond of company and
the life of the circles in which she moves.
She is a pronounced type Of blonde beauty,
| and is said to have numbered at one time,
E. Berry Wall among her adorers. For
several seasons she reigned with almost
royal sway at the United States Hotel,
Saratoga where Mr.. Wall and the intimates
| of the ex-king of the dudes are reported to
have paid her marked attention. Mrs.
| "Sam" Dinkelspiel is also blonde, but less
pronounced than Mrs. William Dinkelspiel.
1t is said that William Dinkelspiel met
the young woman whom he subsequently
made his wife i'll this city some seven or
| eight wears ago Mrs. DinkesDiel's maiden
name was Henderson, and she was then
studying music in New York under the care
of her mother, they having come on from
| their home in Savannah for the purpose.
Mis- Henderson was then about seventeen
years of age, and soon after making the ac
quaintance of her future husband their mar
rlaGe took place.
Mrs Sam" Dinkelspiel, so the story goes,
was then finishing her education at a con
vent in Savannah, where Miss Henderson
| had formed her acquaintance. She was
married soon after Miss Henderson. Both
| the Dinkelspiels and their wives took up
their residence in New York.
ENTER Mr.. BERNHEIAfER.
Mayer Bernheimer is an importer down
town in New York His father is said to
be man of great wealth, and the son is re-
! ported as nearly equally as we'll to do. He
is, moreover, a G cd looking young man,
! fond of society, and, if rumor can be relied
upon, particularly devoted TO the compan-
| ionship of the fair sex.
Unlike the Dinkelspiels with whom he
was acquainted, he married young lady
of his own race and religious persuasion.
/ his Wilt, WIZ 10 bLS h1IS ubCi VI u W6dlbuY
| New York importer, is of brunette style
| of beauty. Their wedding was one of the
events in TIE social life of the metropolis,
both on account of the high social as well as
the business and pecunary standing of the
contracting parties and their widespread in
huential family connections Mrs. Bern
heimer's father is said to be worth So, 000, 900
or 81, O00, 900.
The Bernheimers and the Dinkelspiels
became close friends and met frequently at
entertanments-in the city during the
| winter and at the watering places during
the summer. Last season they were at Long
| Branch together, and then it was that a
cloud began to show itself on the horizon
Rumor has it that Mr. Bernheimer be-
came too attentive TO Mrs. William Dinkel-
| spiel and their names were associated by
the gossips at the Branch. Drives, hops and
other worldly amusements were, it is said,
enjoyed in company by them, and the
tongue Of scandal wagged freely. Mr..
Dinkenspiel was kept away good deal of
the time by business, and if he were knowing
to what was being said and done he failed
to make the fact manifest.
BACK TosTHEsCITY.
The summer waned and the sojourners by
