the New York Central depot were be-
hind the schedule time
ON the rivers on each side OF Manhat-
tan island the fog hung heavily and by
noon showed but few signs of lifting.
Ferryboats ran at hour intervals in
stead of following each other every ten
minutes.
The Long Island trains were consid-
erably delayed and the sound was dot
ted with vessels at anchor. The Fan
River steamer Pilgrim, which discharg-
ed DIR passengers yesterday is still an
chored i'm the sound. The Maine Of the

Druggist Hackett Suing Charles P.
WhittIe & Company.
Claims Furniture Was WrongtulI Removed
From Place Of Business.

A replevin case i'm which Charles j.
Hackett. druggist. was plaintiff and
Charles T.. Whittle a. Company of Bos-
ton dealers i'm druggist fixtures was
heard by Judge Rogers in the jury
trial waived division of the supreme
court. Hackett claims that drawers,
show cases and other fixtures valued at
$1,000 were wrongfully taken from his
store on Westminster street by the de-
PENDANTS.
He admits that he leased the goods
from the defendants and was in ar
rears i'm his payment on the leases, but
claims that just as the stun was being
removed from his store some months
ago his counsel. Col Harry Page. came
there and rendered member of the de-
PENDANT company. who was superin-
tending the removal OF the goods 5000
bill. Mr.. Hackett further admitted that
the defendants owing To his being IN
arrears in payment on the leases had
placed the same in the hands OF j. Je-
rome Hahn, Esq. their attorney and
he had paid Mr.. Hahn SIG week for
four weeks, but was then forced by cir
cumstances to cease payments.
Two witnesses corroDorated the
plaintiffs statement of the tender OF
the $500 bill and said the representa-
tive OF the defendants stated he could
take no money as he was ordered 10
remove the fixtures Before going 10 see
his counsel Mr.. Hackett made two or
three other efforts TO secure the money
and when these failed the removing of
the goods was begun. The defendants
claim their action in the premises was

THE SL0ANS HAVE PARTED.

otherwise than in one respect> blessed
with all that should make uniSed ana
contented household.
There were rumors that there had
been serious differences between hus-
band and wife. and various causes,
some specifically stated by the gossips,
but more generally referred To ambig-
uously, were given.
Last summer at Newport, the trouble
seemed to have reached eliminating
point and IL was expected by the Ia
miliars OF the Sloane household that
a separation would take place at once.
However this may be- the trouble
was apparently bridged over. and when
the family returned To New York for
the winter. preparations were made for
the entertainments that Mr.. and Mrs.
Sloane have customarily given. The
tongue of gossip was silenced Tor
while at least. but recently II wagged
again with redoubled Vigor. OF course
no one could ask the family if the re-
ports OF a coming separation were true.
but that outcome was confidently eX-
pected not only by those closely inti-
mate. but finally by society at large.
Every little straw that blew in the
wind around seventy second street ana
Fifth avenue was seized upon as indi-
cation that the storm was now coming.
The most recent straw was the sale,
lately, of Mr.. Sloanes box at the opera.
which was at once taken as evidence
that the family would withdraw from
current social affairs. Mrs. Sloane's
friends said, however, that II was
merely due to her i'll health.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry r. Sloane have
been conspicuous i'm the social life OF
New York for the last IL years. Be

Miss Jessie Robbins. a daughter OF
the late Daniel Robbins, of the New
York firm OF merchants. McKesson x

For "A number Of years after their mar
riage Mr.. and Mrs. Sloane lived IN
West Fifty-fourth street. and two years
ago went To their magnificent house In
East Seventy second street, near Fifth
avenue In this house Mrs. Sloane has
entertained very handsomely.
Mrs. Sloane was a subscriber to all
the exclusive dances given in New
York. notably those called the Howl
ing Swells." and the small set Of cotil-
Ions given at the Metropolitan club
last winter.
BY her beauty and many attractions
Mrs sloane was always conspicuous
at the many fashionable gatherings in
New York society. at balls and dinners.
and naturally was one Of the most
beautiful women at the famous fancy
dress ball given by Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin two winters ago.
Although figuring I'm Newport. Mr..
Sloane has never owned place there,
but for some years has rented the Ell
bridge or Carey villa. Only a few
weeks ago Mr.. Sloane bought an eX-
tensiNe place on the Cliffs at Newport,
which he intended TO make his future
summer home.
There are two children. girls: one
about IL years Of age and the other
about nine years old. The elder under
went an operation for appendicitis in
Newport last summer.

A REASON FOR LIVING.

The experience of those who have engaged in hospitals Is, happily, not with the tragedy of human suffering alone; there are times when they get glimpses of the comedy of life, and when Laughter holding both his sides takes the place of gloom and sorrow. A woman had been brought to the hospital in very weak state. We could do nothing for her; she seemed to have lost all hold on life, and gradu- ally got worse and worse. The hus- band, who had often been to see her, and who was kindness itself to her, was sent for to take the last sad leave. He came this time accompanied. His companion was buxom young woman of the Moll and Poll type, who seemed to delight In parading the fact that she intended to succeed the dying woman in the affections of her kind but too easily consoled lord. I was in a fever of anxiety lest the shock should hasten my patients end. But I didn't know the power of rebound in human nature, especially obstinate feminine human nature. Well, old woman," the man began, slouching up to the bed, in an apologetic air which he had never worn before, you're got to go this time. The young woman (pointing to mel says there ain't no hope You've been good wife to me, and shan't forget yet But he didn't get any further in his declarations of undying approval. The woman, who a minute ago had lain weak and listless was altVe-and very much alive, too. Her eyes gleamed as she made an effort to get a good look at the other visitor, who was standing unabashed by the widower presumptive. I had to get the husband and his new-found love out of the ward as quickly as possible.
 T ain't dead yet, nurse" my patient gasped out as came back
 What all the doctors, tonics, wine, and beef-tea could not do, the sight of an existent rival and possible successor had done, and "soon wonder came to light for the woman did not die. She mended from that day. We all took an interest in her. She had got new reason for living, and honestly admit we helped in her great effort with all the nourishment we could make her take. Before very long she went home, strong and well enough, I hope to rout the enemy and reassert her rule-Lon- don Telegraph.

THE spAN1ARDs AT cANEY.

I shall never cease to see, when the word Caney is spoken, line of some fifty or sixty light blue-clad men standing in a trench, the line bent in the middle at right angles by the square turning of the ditch; at the bending of this line some ue-jacketed young officer standing, always ex- posed to the belt, and sometimes as he stood up on the level ground, exposed to the feet; the men rising at the word of this officers command for hours and hours, delivering volley after volley full in our faces; standing as they did so exposed to the waist, confronting 5000 men, grinly and coolly facing death, drawing their dead up out of the trench, as they fell, to make standing room for living men, holding thus their trench immovably from morning until evening-this is what Caney will always mean to me first of all, by virt- ue of an impression as vivid as the light of day, and as ineffaceable as the image of death.
 I say it is a sorrow, because I would 4lhS lU nave lily plCluIS Ol lle IISt great fight was ever in centre around some deed of my own countrymen. But the trench-fighting of the Span iards with the Mausers was in very fact the heart and centre of that days work; and as for that, the heroism of our men appears none the less in the light of the heroism of their antago- nistS.
 These figures of Spaniards in the shallow ditch were really very un- couth. Their jackets of poor, thin blue cotton were merely loose tunfcs, too short and coarse to have any dignity, and the trousers were baggy and ill., fitting. On their heads, as long as they wore them, the men had great straw hats, almost black with use, with brims turned up behind and down before. Sometimes the hats came off, and with my glass I watched along the trench the shaggy black heads of Castilian youths-which looked better. Joseph Edgar Chamberlin in Scrib- ners.
