A SECRET MARRIAGE.
Efforts of Famous Oculist to Get Rid Ct
His Wife

Efforts of a Famous Oculist to Get Rid CT
His Wife.
NEW HAVEN, May 12.-The efforts of DR..
William II. Hotel hkiss, the famous oculist.
to legally rid himself of his young and
pretty wife have caused a big scandal in
the State courts, and have been happily de-
feated. In 1880 DR.. Hotchkiss, whose family
Is wealthy and ariStOcratic, went to Ger
many to consult a famous specialist. While
there he met Gertrude Won BlOnhume, a
pretty little orphan, and secretly married
her. During the year he resided abroad the
two lived happily together, but he returned
home alone, promising to send for her, but
arriving here he noticed a wide difference
between the polished circles of his family
and his friends and his uncultured wife and
decided to let her stay abroad. He conse-
quently stopped all communication with
her, but the plucky little woman, thinking
something must have happened to him,
started out on his track. She traced him for
three years, as he had lived under an as
sumed name, and when she found him she
was so rejOiced that she was willing to seek
employment as a teacher, satisfied to be
near him even if her relationship be not
known. This continued until recently,
when the doctors visits aroused suspicious
OF the teachers landlady, who went 10 Mrs.
HOtchklss with the information, and the
latter lady confi1ed to the former the secret
Of the marriage in self-defense. The board
ing-house keeper told friend, and it was
soon all over the city. Mrs. Hotchkiss was
terribly incensed, and, as her son was COM
PEELED to acknowledge the marriage, she
made him institute a suit for divorce on the
ground of incompatibility and illegal cere-
mony. The case was decided Yesterday in
favor of the wife and the plea dismissed.
The strange featHIe now is that Mrs. HOtch-
kiss has disappeared, no one knows where,
and some think evil has befalIen her.

seizing the Itata. would turn her over to
the Charleston as an act OF friendship to the
United States?" queried the reporter
"WeA no." said the Consul, laughing.
Mexico is very friendly to this Govern
ment, but she is also very friendly to the
est abished Government of Chile and
would do no act as matter of friend
ship for one which would infict a wrong
upon another. She is very conservative,
too, and is not likely to establish prece-
dents which might afttrward involve her in
interminable trouble. Remember, the whole
matter of the Itata'S character is still a
matter of conjecture, and until her stand
ing is clearly ascertained, by proper legal
inquiry, nothing will be done to curtail her
rights. If, however, the suspicious which
her actions have raised are verified she Will
surely be condemned. l imagine she would
in that case be looked upon as piratical
craft. Whether or not Mexico would then
consider the fact that she had escaped IRON
the custody of the United States | cannot
say. 1t is llnotty question and the dipl0-
mates Will have to settle it between them"

Ben Butler Appointed Counsel in a Case
Before Judge Carpenter.

BosroN, May 12-Ben Butler is deter
mined that Judge Carpenter shall not cx-
clude him from his court, and to force the
Judge to recognize him. He has just had
himself appointed counsel for two of the
most prominent citizens Of New England,
Hon. G. b. Loring and Hon. Frank Jones,
the railroad king, who are defendants 10 a
suit the Government Is most anxious to
push. Years ago, when the Government
was collecting income taxes, Joe Sanb0n,
claiming to be I'm inf0rmer, was paid by the
Government large sum. Subs equently, 1t
was discovered that the collection OF the
money was not Cue 10 information furnished
by Sanborn and a suit was begun TO recover
the money paid him, resulting in verdict
for the Government SanbOrn appealed to
the Supreme Court, which sustained the
Circuit Court, and ordered a Judgment en-
tered for nearly $4,000. When SanboTn
appealed, he was obliged to give bond In
case the court decided against him. He
gave such bond with such prominent per-
sons for sureties as Hon. q. b. Loring and
Hon. Frank Jones. As soon as the decision
of the Supreme Court was announced notice
was served on Sanb0rn, who did not re-
spOnd, so the suit was against his bonds
men. AS soon as Butler heard OF the suit
aud being personal friend of defendants,
he offered his services as counsel, which
were promptly acce pied. to the disgust of
District Attorney Allen, who saw through
the scheme and fears more trouble, despite
the influence Of Buffers clients.

Professor Briggs Protests Against the Action
cf the Presbytery.
NEW YORK, May 12-Ihe New York
Presbytery today resumed consideration of
the case of Professor Briggs of the Chair of
Biblical Theology in The Union Theological
Seminary. DR.. Briggs spoke at some length
in his own defense. The majority report
was adopted by vote of A to 30. Professor
Briggs then gave formal notice that he would
enter a protest against the appointment of a
committee and q complaint against the action
just taken by tie presbytery. DR.. Birch
gave notice he would in certain contingent
ces prefer new charges against Professor
Briggs. Rev. DR.. Shiland offered a reSolu-
tiOu that judicial committee be appointed
by the Moderator to take into consideration
the case of Professor Briggs Adopted. The
committee will be appointed later.
AT the next regular meeting of the pres
bytery in June it will probably the deter
mined when the trial OF Professor Briggs
shall begin,
In the opinion Of thoughtful men this de-
cision Of the New York PresDyterY is the
beginning Of q far-reaching split in the
ranks Of the Presbyterians. AS DR.. Me-
Ilvaine said, the condemnation of Briggs
means the condemnation of a great
party throughout the world, which is grad
ually spreading In every branch Of religious
work. If the General Assembly shall event
ually discipline Briggs there are several
other Presbyterian ministers who cannot
