have something to tell his enemy. Bor-
roWe's friends propose to put him on
his guard as soon as possible, and they
may clash with the Drayton faction!
while doing so.
Dayton'S friends and relatives deny
that he is q poor man. 1t is said that
he enjoys quite as large an income as
his wife. His relations in Philadelphia
are wealthy, and he has always been re-
garded as possessing ample means. His
present income Is placed at not less!
than 100000 year, which, allied to as
much more possessed by his wife, is
ample.
Borrowe. so his intimate friends say,
is by no means giant intellectually
After 4 great deal of coaching andl
tutoring he applied and was admitted
to Columbia college in 1881. He passed
few examinations with difficulty and
Hunked on many, fact which prevent
cd his entering the class which gradu-l
aled in 1885. One of his friends said
tonight:
He seldom attended lectures, but was
good athlete, when he would train, which
was not often. lie rowed for while on the
freshman crew, aud after losing his orr went
i'll Tor football lie succeeded in becoming a
sophomore and eouditionaly jnnior. Tho
only class he attended regularly was that OF
fTOI. AuOlpn conn, the french instructor. 4
Borrowe was the leader of the practical jok-
ers. and Prof. Cohn forbade his coming TO
lectures. After leaving college he did not do
much OF anything. His name has teen up Mt
the Union club ever since he was ten years
old. lie was backballed when his name was
reached, on the ground that he was TOO con-

Mr. Borrrowe is Revolutionary de-
Scendant. Elias BOudinot, one of the
slgners OF the Declaration of lndepend-
ence, was his grandfather several times
removed. The story of the prospective
duefwas shock to Drayton's Philadel-
phia relatives. His aunt, Mrs. COle-
man, said:
Ihad no knowledge Of this affair, except
ing, of course, the rumors which were in
circulation last fall when they went 10 Eu-
rope. The news comes as u great surprise To-
me, and this is the first information we have
had OF the condition Of things said to have
been existing abroad between Mr.. and Mrs.
Drayton. 1 heard from Mr.. Drayton about "a
month ago, but he did not refer TO any
trouble with his wife. know nothing about
the financial arrangement said to be existing
between Nr. Draylon and his wifes parents.
Mr. Drayton was in Philadelphia last sum
mer with his children. and he did not mPn-
ton such matter. About a month ago re-
eeiyed pleasant letter from Mrs Drayton,
and she, too, failed to mention anything
ABOUT disagreement. Mr. Drayton is an
orphan. His mother died when he was seven
years old, and. of course, as a result Of that
misfortune he has had rather a checkered
career
A business man who has known the
BorrOwe family for years SAID today: ,
The Borrowes and the Astors have always
been friendly. Samuel Borrowe was the
cause Of Coleman Drayton and his wife buy
ing an estate near his own at Bernardsville. :
n. j. George Isney and Charles s. Dodge
are other prominent New lorkers who have 7
country places at Bernardsvlle. IL was IL
fatal day for Coleman Drayton's happiness
when he Yielded to the solicitations Of his
friend to buy property i'll that charming spot. (,
for it was there the whole trouble began. IL
was significant fact that in the list OF
of Borrowe which has always hitherto APP
peared near the head, was eonspicuousIy abb
