Domestic Scandal Involving the Names Of

The New York Sun today publishes London

quarrel which exists between James Coleman
Drayton and HalIett Alsop Borrowe, we'll.

on the White Star steamship Majestic. which
left Queenstown for New York Wednesday
night, and it is thought possible that the trouble
between the men may eliminate in tragedy

Borrowe is the son Of Samuel Borrowe, vice
president of the Equitable Assurance
Society. MIR. Drayton is native OF
Philadelphia. and is of excellent family.
His wife is Augusta, third daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Aston. For two
months the American colonies OF London and
Paris have heard vague rumors of a prospective
duel between Mr.. Borrowe and Mr.. Drayton.
growing out OF suspicious entertained by Dray-
ton regarding Borrowers friendship with Mrs.
be entirely platonic.
Mr.. Drayton endeavored to bring about a
duel. Mr., Borrowe was ready enough, but his
seconds, Harry Vane Milbank and Edward
Fox. refused to allow him to fight on the
ground that Drayton's conduct in accepting
money and the fact that he had been suspicious
of his wife five years before he had challenged
Borrowe forfeited his right to ask for the salts
faction of a gentleman.
In this decision the seconds were upheld by
no less authorities than Aureisn Schoil and
the Due de Morny, two of the most celebrated
duelists in France.
Nevertheless, Drayton has not hesitated,
among his friends, to attribute Borrowes con-
duct TO cowardice. ..'
Mr.. Drayton has taken his children from bis
wife and left them with friends in Wales Mrs.
Drayton is in London, living in Mayfair. Her
mother and father. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Aston,
are in Paris. 1t 10 probable that the present
conditions will result in u divorce.

An Inquest TO BE Held.

Oscar Willis and Rose Washington, the young
colored couple arrested yesterday on suspicion
of having caused the death of the woman's one
year-old child, as published in yesterday
STAR. were held at the second police station
last night to await the result Of the coroner
investigation today.
The police expect to show that the child was
injured during the trouble between the man
and woman and not by another woman acct
dentally falling upon it, as the prisoners
claimed yesterday.
Lieut.. Teeple said today that his officers had
secured evidence TO show that the man threw
the child down. and he thought the proof would
show That the child's death resulted from the
injury thus sustained.
Deputy Coroner Schaeffer made a post
moriem examination OF the child's body this
afternoon and Coroner Patterson decided 10
hold the inquest at $50 O'Clock.

Ambergris 10 Precious.

81 once found treasure floating at sea. ~
said an old whaling captain to a STAR reporter.
It was lump Of ambergris and weighed thirty.
seven pounds, two ounces The stuff was of
particularly Inequality and sold for S2s an
ounce. 1 was cheated on the price Of it, too.
for the dealer to whom sold it disposed of il
at ting rate of $50 IN ounce. But. as you see.
l received Sl6, 632 for the chunk, half Of winch
belonged 10 me according to the rules which
govern such cases of dotsam and jetsam, the
other half being divided among the crew.
big pieces Of ambergris are not infrequently
found floating, am told, and sometimes they
are thrown mp on the shore. Many a small
fortune has been found in such q shape. The
stnff looks more like tree. bark than ANYTHING
else, but has q waxy appearance, streaked with
yellow and black. II has a very peculiar aro-
matte smell, scientific man informs me that
il il nothing more nor less than disease of the
liver of the sperm whale and that chunks Of it
weighing as much as 200 pounds are sometimes
found IN whales bodies.
The person 1 speak Of told me that amber
girls was used ia perfumes not SO much because
OF its peculiar odor as on account of its prop
erty OF causing other ingredients to throw ont
their fragrance. Perfumes made without il
smell Of alcohol. He said it was very remark
able thing that the two most precious products
OF the sea, ambergris and pearls. should be the
results Of disease"
