KING "SASHA'S" BRIDE.
AN ALLIANCE THAT PROMISES SECURITY
TO SERVIA

Although no official confirmation has been until
now received OF the news contained IN the cable
dispatches Of a few days ago to the effect that the
young King Of Servia had become afiianced TO
Princes Anna Of Montenegro yet there is every
probability o: ITS proving true, since the match Is
the best that could possibly have been devised py
those interested IN the welfare Of the young ruler
Ii Is an alliance N behalf Of which Queen Nata-
lie has been negotiating for considerable time
past. and which bears traces OF having been pro-
NOTED by the Russian Chancellor, Prince LoDa-
nof we'll as by the young Car. The latter
probably prompted not alone By poiitlcal
motives, bat also By considerations Of more
personal nature. For Il may be remembered that
h was once on the point Of marrying this very
Montenegro Princess, the match being broken
off at the las, moment by himself in consequence
OF an cntanglement Of a somewhat discreditabc

nature which might have prevented his union
with the present Czarina had 1t not been for the
circumstances connected with the death Of his
father. Emperor Nicholas In all likelihood con-
siders that. having disappointed the Princess so
far as the Imperial crown Of Russia IS concerned,
the least thing that ne can do for her is TO assist
her to some other throne by way OF compensa-
ton and since his succession he has repeatedly
gone out OF his way in order TO manifest his
anxiety TO atone FOR the wrong Which he believes
he has done to the reigning house Of Montenegro.
From political and Russian point OF view no
more clever policy could have been devised than
this union between a Montenegro princess and
the Servian monarch; for the latter thereby be-
comes bound by dynastc ties to the Court Of
Russia. Belgrade is placed once and for all time
within the sphere OF MuscOvite influence and the
predominance of Austria in Servian politics be-
comes just as much thing Of the past in
Bulgaria, where the baptism Of young Prince
Boris marks the final forfeiture by Prince Ferd-
nand to Russia of all that independence which
the Bulgars had struggled with so much success
to attain.
On the other hand. the match offers to Servia
the advantage Of creating ties Of relationship be-
tween its ruler and the other reignns houses Of

AFRAID OF HIS WIFE.
Osborne Seeks pfrorcei Bscause She
Threatened to Incarcerate Hin.

Beresford L. Osborne filed suit today for
divorce from Jessie c. Osborne The parties
have been married since June 8, 1876. and
have three children,
Mr. Osborne gives cruelty as the basis Of
his petition. He charges that il is his wife's
purpose. IN pursuance OF scheme 10 get
possession Of his business and property, to
cause MIN TO be tncarcerated in some asy-
ium upon the pretext that his mind is af-
fected.
He ays that in this connection his wife
stated to an acqBaiIrt ance that she was
preparing to rid herself OF her husband
by causing him to be placed in an insane
asylum.
u Ii is further alleged by Mr.. Osborne that
for several years past he has been subject
to a series of hurniiiating annoyances and
insults, due in IN ost part to the violent and
understandable temper OF Mrs. Osborne.
These outbursts OF temper and III teei-
ing" recites the hill, .'have occurred many
times I'll the place of business OF the pc
titinoer For the past eighteen months,
when without cause, the defendant left
petitioner size has entirely neglected her
household duties, remaining away from
hobie nearly every night until j or IL
O'Clock. and appears To have devoted her
energies toward causing the petit oner
as much mental and physical suffering, as
ingenious malice POSSIBLY can cause"
Mr. Osborne says that the result Of all
this has been TO produce in him settled
melancholy, much mental anguish, loss Of
appetite. loss of sleep, great loss of flesh,
and utter wretchetiuesS Of mind and body.
An inCident cited by the plaintiff is that
about two years ago, while he was reInon
strating with his daughter for some SEEM
ing misconduct. his wife, without warning,
struck him in the face and discolored his c ye.
lie states that during his married life he
has been faithful husband and allowed
Mrs. Osborne free access to his money,
goods and other property, and that all his
profits until June, 1894, were either in
vested in her name or placed in bank to
her name; but in that year he was COM
peIled to have the bank account kept to his
own credit for the protection of himself and
family.
The plaintiff is represented by Attorney
Joseph Shillington.

Soon Yielded TO Reaction.

New York. Dec. 16--The street was in

The fiImness was short-lived, however,
