The Kaufman Divorce Case Excites the
Theatrical Fraternity.

The Kaufman Divorce Case Excites the
Theatrical Fraternity.
The publication of the stories of the
troubles of Dr. Eugene j. Kaufman and
his wife Minnie, VINO have brought
counter suits for absolute divorce against
each other, has caused a good deal of un-
easiness in theatrical circles Four well
known actors of New York have already
been made correspondents in the
husbands suit, and as many more, it is
whispered are in mortal fear that the
same fate will befall them.
The four unfortunates are Henry Lee
the star of the Suspect" company, with
which Mrs. Kaufman is playing under
her maiden name of Minnie Seligman: S.
Miller Kent, Edward J. Henley and
Walter Lingerman. DIR. Kaufman
alleges that these men were, at various
times, better acquainted with his wife than
their marriage contract permitted. To
this list he expects soon TO add the names
of several prominent Chicago merchants.
The principal cause of the trouble be-
tween the pair, according to DR.. Kauff-
man. was his father-in-law, Mr.. Selig-
man, of the firm of Seligman Brothers
The latter DR.. Kaufman accuses of cir
culating untruthful stories about him
and making his wife uncomfortable from
the day of their wedding, which was cell
ebrated in the Temple Emanuel on June
is, 1886.
Mrs Kaufman, however, assigns an
entirely different reason for their separa-
ton. In her answer to her husbands
complaint, which was served Friday
night, she makes many serious accusa-
tions against him and denies many OF the
allegations made against her by him.
She classes his statements as malicious
lies" She says that before she married
him he represented himself as being
worth SIC, 600 worth of property in Detroit,
and having practice of &c. 600 year. I'M
mediately after the wedding she found he
had no money of his own and that even
the wedding banquet had not been paid
for.
Through her father she says his debts
were paid and that he tried to raise money
on a lot of worthless drafts, which her
father finally made good. She also ac-
cuses her husband of having performed
acts of malpractice which resulted
detrimentally to her health, and of forcing
her to work and cook for himself and
brothers at his Detroit home, and of
threatening to kill her on another occas-
ion. She has also brought counter suit
against him for absolute divorce.

general, special or private, now in force,
and relating to the Board of Chosen Free

directed to be elected by this act"
1t is also enacted that the Board shall
be vested with all powers now vested in
the present Board and that all laws now
in force applicable to the Freeholders are
cept so far as they may conflict with the
provisions of the new act"

cials of the Board are statutory officers

Clerk Collector, Auditor and County
Physician; others hold their offices by
regulations of the Board for terms vary

and resides at No. 2S, Aston street, yester-
day informed Detective Sergeant Ward

missed until yesterday. Mr.. Ward began
an inquiry into the matter at once and
this morning succeeded in locating the
girl at No. 80 Belmont avenue, where she
resides with her parents. He took her in
custody, and while on the way to Police
HEADQUARTERS she confessed that she had
taken the collar and handkerchief, and
told the detective that she had secreted
them in rag bag in the cellar Of her
fathers house.
After she was locked up the detective
returned to her home and found the rag
bag where she said IL was, but the stolen
articles were not in it. When told that
they were not there, the girl said that her
mother might have given them away, but

NEWARK, Oct 10, 1ss9.-The striking
bakers are not so talkative today as here
tofore during their trouble with the EN-
ployers this morning. Several were in q
saloon near by, however, and it was said
there was no change in the situation, but
it was expected the ''bosses" would yield
before Monday. So far as can be learned
from the other side, the employers have
no idea of compromising and yielding.
They assert that there will be no more

PFINGSTEN NOMINATED.
The Fourth District Republicans Make
Their FreehoIder Nomination

The Fourth District Republicans Make
Their Freebooter Nomination.
The Republican Freebooter Convention
of the Fourth district met at Zibelli's
Hall, No. 443 Central avenue, last eve-
ming and the interest in the proceedings
was shared by Republicans of the dis
trict.
The convention was called to order by
Thomas McEwan, Jr., chairman of the
Fourth District Republican Committee.
John Doscher was elected chairman, and
Christian A. Holderer secretary.
Sometime was spent in filling vacan-
cies In the delegations. Siegfried Ham
merschlag, VIM. H. Furman, Theodore
Mendels, and other well-known Repub-
licans, who appeared among the outsid-
ers, were seized upon and made regular
delegates
Some of the outsiders were evidently
impressed with the idea that they had
the same rights in the convention
as the delegates. They were unde-
ceived when motion by Robert Sloan to
the effect that none but delegates be al
lowed to address the chair, was adopted
A call OF the convention, by the pre-
cincts, for the nomination of candidate
for Freebooter, resulted in Charles A.
Pfingsten receiving twenty-five votes
and George Ziox, two votes. Delegate
Robert Sloan stated that Mr. George Ziox
had requested him to prevent the use Of
his name as candidate. Charles A.
Pfingsten was then unanimously nomin-
ated as the candidate by reclamation.
After a recess the candidate was
brought before the convention. He ac-
cepted the nomination and referred to
his former record of the Board of Free
holders as guarantee of future service
in the event of his election. Speeches
were made by Thomas McEwan, Jr., and

Mr.. Weeeler said he had frequently
missed small articles and small amounts
of money while Iennie was in his EN-
ploy but he continued to employ her in the
hope that she would grow better as she
grew older. About fifteen months ago
Mr. Wheeler was robbed of diamonds
valued at $3.50, and Detective Cosgrove
traced the robbery to a servant girl in the
employ of Mr.. Wheeler, and, as she gave
up the stolen property, her employer de-
clined to prosecute her. In the case of
Tennie Gassbower, however, he intends
against her, as his former leniency has
not been appreciated. She will probably
be tried in the Special Sessions Of Mon
day next.

Nathan Irale,s statna.

The design for a bronze statue of
Nathan Hale to be placed in the north
west corner of the City Hall park, New
York, which was brought over from Paris
recently by Frederick MacMonnies, has
been accepted and the designer has been
commissioned to model the statue for the
Society of the Sons of the Revolution.
The statue will be of bronze, eight feet
high, and will rest upon a low pedestal
1t represents the young American spy
standing on the scafford with his arms
and ankles tied, at the moment when he
was excIaiming:-"I only regret that
have but one life to lose for my country
The designer of the statue is pupil of
Augustus st. Gaudens, who was asked to
prepare design, but was unable to do so
for want of time. He is also the winner
of prize In the Ecole DIES Beaux Arts.
Results of the Episcopal Convention.
The important business of the Episcopal
convention in New York has been either
finished or discussed and sent over TO the
next general convention, and the councils
labors will probably be finished this week
Many minor questions, which are usually
put through in the hurry of the last days
of the session, will then be disposed of. 1t
cannot be said that this convention has
taken important steps in the matters
which have been for years agitating the
Episcopal Church. Most of the work has
been in the direction of changing or
adding canons, a matter in which the
clergy are chiefly interested.
To sum up the work of the convention
so far, it may be said that it's principal
efforts have been given to changes in the
discipline and prayers of the church, to
reports on missionary and kindred mat
ters and to settling questions of refer
ences of the convention. Bishop John
son, of Western Texas, summed up the
work of the convention by declaring that
it had only been tinkering with canons,
while forces without and within the
church were laboring, with the subtlest
intellects of the day, to sap the whole
foundation of Christianity; but the aver
age delegate says that the purpose of the
convention is to arrange matters within
the church and not to inaugurate cru
SADIE against unbelief. In fact, the dele
gates generally pronounce as sensation
alism any attempt to call the attention of
tina convention from 'canon tinkering."
as Bishop Johnson called it, to the out
look of the whole fabric of Christianity.
