MRS. DRAYToN Acknowledged SERVICE.
Mr.. Drayton fled his suit last June,
and Mrs. Drayton Acknowledged service
on Aug. @, presumably when She was at
Newport, where preparations had been
made by her friends 10 give her many
rc-eptions ana rehabitate her socially.
| The beginning Of the divorce suit spoiled
all this. and Mrs. Drag ton lett for Eu-
rope imme( lately.
Borrowe by law is entitled to be repre-
sented in the suit. Nothing has been
heard from him vet Mr. Drayton is now
at Bar Harbor with his children. Mrs.
AstOr is in Neport. Air and Mrs John
Jacob Aston are at their country home in
RhineDeCk, n. y. y. 81. Aston tried TO
effect reconciliation between his sister
and her husband. but failed. BorrOWe is
not now in New York.
Mrs. DraytOn is the third daughter of
the late William Aston and a great
granddaughter Of the famous John Jacob
AStOr. Before her marriage her beauty
and amiable temperament made her as
much sought after in society as the fact
that she was an heirCss to an immense
fortune.
MIR. Borrowers name was first publicly
connected with Mrs. DraytCn'S by the
publication in March, 1892, OF an extract
troma letter of Mrs. Drayton's, which &C
cused Ar. BOrrOwe of having inflicted
uponh i'm the most grievous injury that
one man may inHict upon another" The
letter demanded satisfaction in terms
Ineligible to subscribers to the dueling
code.
Late in March, 1892, Mr. Drayton and
MIR. BOrrowe arrived here on the steamer
Majestic. No encounter occurred, al
though Harry NanO Milbank, a duelist,
panied Mr. BOrrOwe To reporters Mr..
DrayUon said that BarrOwe was a cow
ard. lIilDauk talked in q bombastic style
that made fun for the reading American
public.
The only actual duel that resulted was
one that was fought at Nieuport-Bains,
in Belgium, between BOcrowe and Ed
ward Fox.
Borrowe accused Fox, whom he had
first consulted when DraytOn challenged
him, Of giving private correspondence to
the press.
Borrowers bullet pierced Foxs coat, but
neither man was hurt
1t was soon after this scandal was made
public property and largely it was said,
as a result Of it, that William Astor died.
When his win was prObated it was found
he had disinherited his erTing daughter,
but she had been allowed an income by
John Jacob Astor. Since then MIR and
Mrs. draytOn have kept apart and Mrs.
Drayton spent much of her time in
Europe in order TO avoid the gossip OF her
own circle in this country. Borrowe has
also kept very quiet while Mr.. Drayton
has spent all his time with his children,
but rumor has it when divorced may
marry again.
