OF a wronged husbands relentless pursu-

tends filing an answer and cross-complaint
in the suit for divorce, commenced against
him by his wife several days before her
elopement with Mcneil, in which he gives
full vent to his feelings and makes known
certain sensational facts regarding the &C.
tions of his faithless spouse. which will
certainly prove a surprise, not alone to
her, but TO the intimate friends of the
family.
SIZZLING is a German and has always
borne the reputation of being hard-work-
ing, industrious and mild-mannered cti-
zen among the residents CT Eureka Valley

SIZZLING disappeared from her home, al 652
Seventeenth street, on September %. in
company with one Alexander Mcneil,
who had been employed as gripman by
the Market street Railway Company. She
extracted fully $4,000 IN coin from a strong
box owned by her husband and kept by
him in the house, and in addition to this
she was said 10 have made away with GEN.
siderable property, which had been decided
over to her by her husband Her disap-
pearance was surprise to her friends, and
the gossips of Eureka Valley were kept
busy for several days discussing the I'M
expected event. No one had ever sus-
pected that domestic infelicity existed in
The Stelling household, but it now trans
pires that the injured husband had been
fully aware of his wife's wrong doing for
some time prior to her disappearance. The
story has just come to light and is highly
interesting in many respects.
Mrs. SIZZLING, it appears, is about 80
years of age and ten years younger than
her husband. They met in Germany
several years ago, and it was there that
they agreed to become husband and wife.
Sizzling had been engaged in business in
America for some time and upon his re-
turn he decided to send for his future wife
and expend some of his earnings in giving
her the benefit of an English education.
This he did. and in May, 1887. the couple
were united in marriage In this city. Their
dispositions, unfortunately, were not alike.
and the education which Mrs. Sizzling re-
ceived, after short time, had the effect of
causing her to grow weary of her hus-
bands attentions. He was to certain
extent uncouth and devoted to his busi-
ness pursuits, while she developed taste
for society and worldly amusement
About this time Mrs. Sizzling became
acquainted with Alexander Mcneil, the
gripman. and it was but short time until
Sizzling commenced to office that bis wife
was not behaving as she should. She
made several visits to the city daily and
invariably waited for the car upon which
Mcneil was at work at the grip. ofttimes
standing on the street corner for half an
hour or more until this particular vehicle
hove in sight.
She explained her frequent absence from
homo by stating that she was undergoing
treatment by a physician, and claimed
that she was obliged to visit the Office of
the latter once a day at least.
For time her story was believed, but
Stelling had grown suspicious and he de-
termined to investigate for himself. Ever
since their marriage the couple had occu-
pied apartments over the grocery-store on
the corner of Seventeenth and Church
streets, and Sizzling invariably assumed
| charge of the shop at night. On more
| than one occasion he imagined hearing s

later had all doubts dispelIed upon hear
