ing His wife's Affections.
New York, September 1.-Arthur
Loring Mackaye. son of the late Steele
Mackaye, theatrical manager and play
wright, has brought action in the Supe-
rior Court to recover $4,000 damages
from his former friend, Paul Latzke, for
the alleged alienation of the affections OF

by Judge McAdam OF the Superior Court
at the instance of Charles Bate. Bail
was fixed at 81, 000 which was furnished.
This is the second wife OF Mackaye, who
is under 80 years of age. His first wife
was Maud Miller, the only daughter OF
Joaquin Miller. Maud used to stay at
the house OF Steele Mackaye while she
was in the city. One day young Mack
aye and she ran off, and were married.
She had just come from the convent OF
the Sacred Heart at Montreal, where
she was educated. She was given the
impression that young Mackaye, VINO
was a Protestant, had not been baptized.
When she learned to the contrary, she
wrote Manager Preston asking if the
marriage was valid. He said it was not.
This letter caused much comment at the
time. The young woman left Mackaye
soon after the marriage on learning this.
The marriage occurred February 4, 1885.
January 6, 1886, she married Louden
Mccormick, an actor and theatrical
manager of Chicago, without a divorce
from Mackaye. Mackaye subsequently
secured Il divorce from her in this city
because of her relations with McCor-
mick. Mccormick deserted the poets

Ballot Shows Them in Favor of Accept
ing Reduction.

GLASGOW, September 3.-The result of
ballot among the Scotch coal miners
on the questions involved in the present
strike was announced to-day. The bal
loting shows %, Az miners in favor Of
the proposal of the Miners Federation
to accept sixpence reduction, with guar
anteed wages ON that basis for two
years, and 2O942 in favor of insisting
upon a shilling advance in wages. The
mine owners declare that the balloting,
which shows majority in favor OF ac-
cepting reduction OF sixpence, does
not by any means put an end to the
strike, for the reason that it will be i'm
possible for them to guarantee even a
minimum rate of wages for period OF
two years. The owners assert that this
cannot be done, inasmuch as most Of
their annual contracts have been can
celed by their subscribers.

CARNEGIE ON LABOR.



LONDON, September 3.-Andrew Car
negie has an article in the September
Contemporary Review concerning labor
in America. He says that a working
man can live for less in America, if he
chooses, than in Great Britain, provided
he will live as frugally. Consequently
Carnegie thinks the argument that
wages must be higher in America is fall
Iacious. A pound judiciously expended
in America on necessities of life would
afford workingman's family more com
forts than would the same amount spent
here. The American workingman's posi-
ton was like that OF the old Scotch
woman, who, when asked if she could
live on a certain annuity, replied she
could live on half of it, I" but could spend

The utmost concern is felt by his con-

consulted with DR.. Clark. a Baltimore
specialist. and 1t was decided that the
pastor would have to abandon the voy-
age.
an operation on Mr.. Clark n advised
him to seek relief at the Clifton Springs.
The cause OF the trouble, Dr. Chapln
thinks, Is overwork.
Since the pastor came from the North
two years ago, the 5000 debt on the
Grace Presbyterian Church has been
paid, and the congregation. then num-
bering fifty. persons, has grown until
the church Is now too small for its re-
qulrements.
Members of the church say the trus-
tees are willing to grant Rev. Mr.. Clark
a years vacation and pay all his travel
ling expenses IL he can be restored to
health.
If Mr.. Clark does not improve under
the treatment at Clifton Springs, ali
operation will be performed upon him

Ginnis. of the East Si~xty-seventh street
station, took two alleged lat-house
thieves to Yorkville Court this morning.
They were Louis Gross. aged eighteen
years, of 3l3 East SEVENTEEN street, and
William Young, sixteen years,of 39 East
Seventeen street.
At 2.5 o'clock this morning Grove
found the two boys at Seventy-fourth
street and Second avenue. Their pockets
were bulging out, and the detective sum-
moned McGinnis and arrested them as
suspicious characters. The detective be-
lieves that they belong to a gang OF HAT
house thieves who have infested the pre-
cinct within the past month.
During this time Detectives Weller ana
Grade, OF the same precinct, have cap
tured over a dozen of the gang. who ara
at present In the Tombs awaiting trial.

The D%efaulting Board Of Excise
Cashier Indicted To-Day.

william d. Lohmann. the %defaulting
cashier Of the Brooklyn Excise Board,
who was brought back yesterday from
Toronto. Canada, was still locked up
In Raymond Street Jail to-day. The
District-Attorney refuses to accept bail
and Lohmann's lawyer. Thomas e.
Pearsall, has made no attempt 10 bring
the matter before a Justice of the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Pearsall said that
nothing would be done to-day, but he
might apply to have the prisoner re-
leased tomorrow.
Mr.. Pearsall said he was not ready to
go on with the case just yet. The real
reason of the delay. it is said. is that
Lohmann has been unable to find any
body who will go on his bond. In the
old days. when he was a factor in the
management CT the affairs of the Ex-
else Department, he had plenty of
friends. Now that he Is a prisoner and
not in a position to grant favors, his
friends nave deserted him.
There has been much talk as to what
Lohmann did with all the money he is
alleged to have stolen. There have been
hints that the money, went into the peck
cts of certain individuals Identified with
lie latt IllS auilllliotia bS-
spatches from Toronto quoted Lohmann
as threatening to make It hot for some
fellows in Brooklyn when he returned.
A story which leaked out this morn
ing put another aspect on the case:
An Evening World" reporter was told
by a prominent police official that there
was reason TO- believe that Lohmann
had spent all his available cash in push
ing private enterprises.
According to the reporters informant.
the defaulter vas engaged in pushing
the business of an automatic coin-in-the-
slot horse-racing machine. The invest
ment did not pay. 1t Is also said that
Lohmann lost a large sum In running a
middle-class theatre in Brooklyn.
Shortly after noon to-day 1t leaked
out that Lohmann's case had been sub
mitted to the Grand Jury now In ses-
sion, and that two Indictments had
been found against him charging him
with grand larceny.
A number of witnesses were examined
to-day, and other indictments will prob
ably be found later on.
