ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. :,


NEW YORK, September 12.-Frank W.
Savin, the busy member of the Stock Ex-
change whose Office is at "a New street. has
made himself well known in Wall Street
by his pugnacious habits and his frequent
disagreements with business associates. He
is fond of settling all his battles with his
fists, but he has got an antagonist now whom
! he cannot invite to a settlement in the man
ner OF the prize ring. He is involved in a
row with woman. Legal proceedings were
| instituted in the Supreme Court chambers
to compel Mr.. Sayin to transfer the prop
erty, 236 West Forty-fft street, to the wo-
man who now lives there, or else to pay
to her the sum of S27, 500 as equivalent
"for services rendered. Such is the Ian
guage of the complaint. and it is based upon
the allegation that IN December, 1888, Mr..
Savin and the complainant agreed to live
together, he agreeing to provide for her and
to give her "such compensation as should
be adequate to her services"
DIDN'T COMPENSATE HER.
This complainant, only known in the
case as Mrs. Savin, declares that Mr.. Ssvin
never paid her any stated sum, though she
at sundry times reminded him of his prom
Use to do so; and that when she insisted upon
some more definite arrangement, one day in
1886, he agreed to transfer the property
which she occupied to her, but never did so.
She goes on to say that they lived together
until August 2 last, on which date Mr..
Savin told her that he should not need her
Services" any longer, and that he has been
trying ever since to oust her from her home.
She is not disposed to take dismissal as an
ordinary 'housekeeper and companion, but
begs the court to direct Mr.. Savin to execute
a legal transfer of the property, or to pay
her the sum of $27, 500, which she claims to
be rightfully due her as arrearages in the
account of services rendered.
NICE HOUSE AND PRETTY OCCUPANT.
No. 236 West Forty-fitth street is located
between Seventh and Eighth avenues. tits
brown stone, high stoop dwelling, three
stories high. A reporter of THE DISPATCH
called at the house this morning, and in
quired for "Mrs. Savin." He saw the
woman who answers to the name. She said
she did not care to discuss the matter, and
begged to be excused from answering all
tated while talking. Mrs. Savin is a little
woman, with bright, hazel eyes. Her hair,
while not black, is so dark that she might
be called brunette. Had her eyes not been
red and swollen from weeping Mrs. Savin
might have been called even more than
pretty. She was att1red in a very becoming
morning gown. of a light blue fabric,
trimmed with white lace at the throat, at
the wrists, and down the front of the skirt.
While apparently she was not only willing
but anxious to tell the story of her sorrows
she told the reporter she had been advised
not to talk about the case.
NEITHER WILL TALK.
81 refer you," she said, Ito nv lawyer,
Henry Daily, Jr., of $50 Broadway. He
knows all about my troubles Mr.. Daily
was not at his Office this forenoon.
Frank w. Savin was not at his office
when reporter called to interview him.
A little later on he was found on Change.
Mr.. Savin is dapper little man, with
very dark complexion. He glories in a
rather diminutive black mustache He
dresses neatly and wears a high silk hat,
but there is nothing in his personal appear
ance to indicate that he is a millionaire He
was very busy" when the reporter called,
and said he "had not time to talk about |
such matters" He was asked what law
yer he had engaged to look after his inter- |
ests in the suit brought by "Mrs. Savin.''
He declined to discuss the scandal lowering
over him, in any OF its phases, and wouldn't |
give his lawyers name
81 am too busy to talk about it, was his |
last remark, as he darted in among crowd |
of brother brokers', some of whom were not |
''too busy to wonder how Savin was going !
to get out of the scrape.
