Mrs. C. W. NJ. MEINECKE. il2 West i25th st.
The above advertisement, which ap-
peared in a morning paper, reveals an
other chapter in the discordant marital
life of Mr.. and Mrs. Meinecke.
Mr.. Menecke Is a wealthy dealer in
druggists supplies at 255 and 257 Green
two brothers-in-law, Messrs. Henry and
Edward Boese.
On March 2s, 1891, Mr.. Meinecke led
his present wife to the hymeneal alter.
He was the favored son of a wealthy
family of Jersey City Heights and she
the belle of Pelham.
The couple lived happily until last
November, when domestic storms ruffied
the matrimonial sea. They eliminated
in a row on a public street. and soon
aftersard 1t was announced that they
would separate.
and they lived together again until a
month ago. Meinicke suddenly disap-
peared. AZ cording to his wife he was
N the habit Of doing this at irregular
and week ago last Monday found him
in his office. He went home with her
and for a week following was not seen
AT his place OF business. 1t was hinted
that ne couldn't leave the house as his
wife had locked up his clothing.
The rest of the story Is told by Mrs.
Meinicke, who was seen in her fiat this
morning by an Evening World' re-
porter. The interview was fragmentary
as she said she was under the care Of
q physician who was in an adjoining
room. and she made frequent trips into
tn It room to consult him.
She declared that most of the trouble
was due to her husbands relatives,
who wanted her to perform duties usu-
ally allotted to a domestic. Moreover.
she said Mr.. Meinicke was an exceed
ingly eccentric and impulsive man.
"He left me suddenly some days ago."
she said. when our twin children were
only two week sold. I succeeded in get
ting. him to come back home. and last
Wednesday night he got out of bed sud
denly, put his street clothes on over his
night robe. and left the house.
"He has always been very jealous OF
me, and most OF our trouble arises from
that cause He has accused me OF being
too friendly with men whom l never
even saw"
That was the extent of the information
vouchsafed by Mrs. Menicke. To all
questions she had almost the same an
swer, that her husband was impulsive
the spur of the moment.
She lntimated that she would bring
suit against her husbands relatives for
alienatin his affections.
Meanwhile Mr.. Menicke remains
away from his office. His partners are
not alarmed and think he will turn up
soon.
