Antonio Terry Endeavors to Obtain Di-
vorce From His wife.

Paris, May 21.-The fourth chamber of
the civil tribunal began today. the trial
of the cross divorce suit brought by An
tonic Terry, who is reported to be the
fancee of Syibl Sanderson, the prima
donna, against his wife, the Terry San
derson marriage being contingent upon
the success of this action.
1t will be remem bered that Mrs. Terry
initiated the divorce proceedings some
time ago by filing petition against her
husband, naming six correspondents
Mr.. Terry did not defend in that action,
but allowed Judgment to be taken against
him by default. The verdict gave Mrs
Terry 1000 francs per month alimony.
Mr.. Terry found this amount too large
and took an appeal, but the verdict Of
the court below was confirmed and amount
of the alimony was raised to 5000 francs
per month He then brought the present
action, charging the defendant with i'm
proper relations with a man not named.
In reply to this charge Mrs. Terry, who
had not heretofore named Miss Sander
son as correspondent, introduced her
name into the case. The court again de-
cided in the favor of Mrs. Terry, but or
dered formal inquiry into the charges
which had been brought against her.
Upon the result of this inquiry will de-
pend the future alimony as to whether it
is to continue during the life of Mr. Terry
or to be definitely annulled. Whatever
the decision of the tribunal in the present
proceedings it is certain that the suit
will go to the appellate court and final
settlement will not be reached for year
or so.

SIGHTED A WRECK,
schooneTs Now In Portland Passeda Vessel
Capsized Off Boon Island

1t looks as if a small tw-masted
schooner, either fisherman ora small
coaster, had been capsized off Boon Isl
and and all hands drowned.
W On Thursday night the schooner T11is
G. Rabel, bound to this port With coal.
came near running down this wreck
about eight miles east by north from
Boon Island light. A stiff gale was blow
ing at the time and the second mate of
the schooner got a pretty good box at the
wreck, which he believed to bea schoon-
er OF about rs tons. She was lying on her
beam ends and it looked as if she had
been capslzed during the gale. Capt.
Vantia of the Rabel was below at the
time the wreck was passed and when he
got on deck was unable to make her out
very clearly.
u The schooner John K Souther also
bound for this port, sighted The wreck as
did Capt. Birdsdall of theschooner j.
Haines Birdsau.
Yesterday morning the Jug Belknap,
Capt. McDuffy, started out to look for the
Wfeck. The Belknap ran to boon island
and cruised about all day without sight
ing the wreck although she covered many
square miles of water. Capt. McDuffy
spoke three vessels which passed within
10 or IL mi les of Boon Island light, with
out sighting the wreck. These vessels
were the schooners Grace Webster, bound
to Portland, James A. Gray from Boston
to Saco, and the Nellie F. Sawyer, Capt.
Dan Willard, bound to Portland. None
of these schooners had seen the wreck
The spot where the Ratnl sighted the
wreck was % Ia miles south by west,
from Cape Elizabeth, Capt. McDuffy
may go out again this morning if the
weather is favorable, in hopes of falling
in with the wreck. AS far as known no
vessel is missing and no disaster has been
reported in this vicinity.
