ton fenud Mr.. Borrowe and
Mrs. Drayton lanchlng together at the
Midland Grand hotel. According to
MIR. Burrowe's friends Mr.. Drayton
came upon them, accompanied by two
detectives. and SAID: ''I'Ye caught you
again. When are you two going to
bolt?" Then he left the room. 1t was
not long afterward that the correspond
enee passed between the two men, in
which Mr.. Drayton endeayored to bring
about duel
The Fight Prevented.
Mr.. Borrowe was ready enough, but
his seconds refused to allow him 10 fight
on the ground that Drayton's conduct
in accepting money, and the fact
that lie had been suspicious OF
his wife several years before
he had challenged BOrrowe for
the fight, forfeited his right to
ask satisfaction of gentleman.
The seconds were upheld by no less
authorities than NJ. Scholl and the Due
| de Morny, two of the most celebrated
duelfistS in France. Nevertheless Mr..
| Drayton has not hesitated among his
| friends 10 attribute Borrowers conduct
| to cowardice.
Borrowe telegraphed to frie nds in
| America some time ago that he would
sail on the Majestic. A week after he
postponed his departure for week,
| and he learned only the day after
the steamship had sailed that Dray-
ton was on board. Fearing that
| the circumstances that he had an
nounced his own departure by the
Majestic and had not sailed ON her,
| while Drayton had, might lend color tn
| Drayton's charge that Borrowe was
afraid of him, Mr.. Burrowe started for
| Queenstown at all hours notice.
The Woman in the Case.
Mrs. }. Coleman Drayton, the cause
| of all this domestic rumpus. is Augusta
Astor, daughter of Mrs. William AStOr.
| the acknowledged leader of New York's
| most excluslve inner circle of fashionable
| society. She was married to DraytOn
| about ten years ago, and the match was
! thought at that time to be brilliant
one. for Mr.. Drayton was a representa-.
| tive of one of the oldest and wealthiesI
| families in Philadelphia. Though he
had comparatively little money in his
own right, he was the prospective heir
to SI5.000,000 or $50, 100000 from his two
rich aunts.
Principals Fail 10 Appear
Promptly at 8 O'clock the represent
atlves of the press met at the Windsor
hotel ana waited FOR the appearance OF
j. Coleman Drayton, who promised to
make statement at 9:3O. That hour
arrived, but it did not bring Mr.. Dray-
| ton. ConsOling themselves with the re-
Election that he was dining and
| would probably turn up later to
keep his appointment, the report
| ers waited until 1880, when it
became apparent that DraytOn would
NOT show up. Delmonico's was visited,
but it was denied that Drayt0n had
been there at all. AT the Union club IT
was asserted that he had not been there.
| rumor was circulated to the effect
that the would-be duelist had been
| quietly spirited away to Philadelphia.
| but this could not be verified.
! A call was made at the resi-
dence of Samuel BorrOwe, the father
| of Hallet AlSOp BOrrowe. Mr.. BOr-
rowe refused to be seen. and it was said
by the attendant at the door that young
| Borrowe has not yet arrived. There
was good reason why Mr.. BOrrOwe
should not be at home. lie has re-
NAMED on the Majestic which, when
! the fog lifted about O'Clock, made her
way up the bay and anchored with all
on board off the White Star dock until
morning, when she will dock and laud
| her passengers.
