Mr111oNA1RE's FALL.

His Sole Remaining Possessions n
Wife and a suit to Set Aside Divorce.
TRENTON, Jan. 2,-on the y OF
New Years Day, while the snow was
falling and the wind blowing a gale, ex-
Mayor and late Millionaire Frank Ma
gowan and his eecond wife were turned
out OF the American House, bag and
baggage. For fully two hours the once
celebrated financier knew not where 70
! lay his head. During this brief space ans
better half stood shiVe:ing In the street
! and the former mayor went from place
to place in an attempt TO raise money
enough 10 hire a hack for fifteen or
twenty minutes.
While he searched for this amount,
| several cabmen stood not far from MS
wife, waiting for the opportunity to
take the couple where they wanted to
20. but each required that the money be
paid In advance. There was not one
among them TO whom Mcgowan DID NOT
owe a small bill.
AS a consequence, the ex-mayor had
to walk to the different hotels at which
he applied for lodging. Meanwhile Mrs:
| Mcgowan stepped back on the porch Oh
tbc hotel whence she and her husband
had been driven, and stood guard over
the two trunks aud 4 bandboX thai
constituted all the earthly belongings OF
the one-tIme millionaire.
1t was nearly J. o'clock before Ma
gowan secured any money. Then ne
managed TO get a few dollars from a
man 10 whom he had loaned thousands
during the last five years, and with
that he took n coupe and rode to Bar
| lows hotel. There he was taken In, but
only allowed to pay two days board.
The management gave 1t out publicly
that the couple could not stay with
| them any LONGER, money or no money,
and that at the end Of the forty-eIght
hours they would he told to leave.
AS an excuse for the announcement,
the people at the Barlow House gave
the same reasons as were named by the
| other hotel p%roprietors. They say that
the fact that the couple are in their
house prevents them from doing busi-
ness, many persons Directing to their
presence.
For the past few weeks nothing has
been heard from the eX-mayor. Ee has
been keeping very quiet In this city
since the institution of the suit to set
aside the divorce granted Mi. Mcgowan
in Oklahoma about two gears ago. The
proceeding was brought by Mrs. Ma
gowan No. !. Although Vice Chancellor
Reed has heard all Of the arguments in
the case, he has rot yet rendered a de-
cree.
When questioned to-day about his
future plans, Mcgowan said he thought
he would 20 to Canada, as soon as he
gets enough money, and that 1t is his
purpose TO take Mrs. Mcgowan No. .
with him. The latter said, however.
TINT abe does not propose to leave
town untii some decision Inns been
reached in the suit before Vice Chancel-
lor Reed.
