New YORK, Nov. ia Sun cable says
several of the most distinguished families
in England are under cloud OF scandal
already referred to in these columns, so
hideous as to preclude publication of the
circumstances. So far as they may be
touched upon, they are that the police
raided a house in Fitzroy square that had
been frequented by officials in the army,
poblemen and others of elevated social
standing. Their discoveries were such
that an active criminal prosecution of the
offenders was begun and suddenly stopped.
The reason was that the names involved
were some of the most influential men
in the kingdom, and the result is that
there has been an exodus from England of
several noblemen and gentlemen who have
previously stood highest in English society
Lord Arthur Somerset, who resigned his
commission in the Guards this week in
consequence of this scandal, yesterday
afternoon resigned his position as equerry
in the Prince of Wales household. Albert
Victor's sudden trip to India is said to be
not unacquainted with the discoveries made
by the police in Fitzroy square. The Earl
of Easton and Lord Beaumont have also
gone abroad, probably for their country's
good. 1t is rumored that Chief Commits
sioner of Police Munroe has threatened to
resign in consequence of the interference
by the higher powers in his prosecution
of the men implicated in this scandal.
An entertaining romance comes from vi
emma this week. Last August young man
calling himself Count Sander Way, who
said that he had had falling-out with his
noble family in Hungary, and married
school teacher of Klagenfurt, who was the
=, ,,DF, -,
was performed at 4 lonely farm house by
Father Imre, and soon after the young
couple visited the wife's parents, where
husband developed an unpleasant tendency
to borrow money of his father-in-law.
This led to domestic ruptures and soon the
bride informed her father that her husband
was woman. This proved to be the case.
She is Countess Varolta Way, the
daughter of colonel in the army,
who, having large family
of daughters, had brought up
Varolta as q boy. When, however, the
real heir was born, she was accustomed to
her boys role and refused to be treated as
girl. She is well known in Pesth, where
she visited the cafes in mems clothing, and
drank and smoked with journalists and Off
GERS. All her life she had worn male attire
and recently had appeared in uniform. She
published collection of poems under the
name of Sander, and associated with young
men who were not in the secret in manly
amusements. tits probable that Father Imre
was not q priest, and that the girl in going
through form of marriage only executed
another eccentricity in order to procure
money, of which she was in great need.
Joseph Lewis. who was accompanied to
Europe by Marie Halton, who ran away
from the Casino, arrived on the City Of
Paris on Thursday. He refused to say any
thing about the whereabouts of Marie,
however Lewis is a rich man. He is
member of firm of heavy diamond dealers
at ThrogmOrton avenue, and has q luxUri-
GUS residence at Empress gate.
