MAY UNITE PULLMAN KNOT
Rumored That GEORGES Wife VIII
Seek for Release.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-After a marital ex-
istence of four months-scarcely longer
than the honeymoon of wealthy young
foiks-it is rumored that Mr. and Mrs
George NJ. Pullman have separated and
that the beautiful bride, who was known
as Miss Lyman FernaId in Chicago So
ciety, will seek release from her mar
rage VOWS In the courts Inc son OF
the late palace car magnate was in the
city for three hours Saturday, hurry
ing south to a fashionable health re-
sort on a late train. His spouse has
rented out their house at Freehold, N
J., whittier they went after their TO
mantle marriage, and will come to Chi
cago Wednesday ostensibly on a visit
to her parents, who live at 4434 Green
wood avenue.
Friends of the young couple whisper
that the two quarreled a week ago,
whereupon the husband left their home,
declaring he would never return When
George was in Chicago Saturday he
visited his father-in-law between train
times, but it is said he received no balm
for his wounds nor any assurance that
the sire who so summariIy broke off
the engagement between Walter Sanger
Pullman and his daughter would labor
to effect understanding for the more
favored brother.
The rumor of the young peoples
estrangement recalls the personal his
tory of the twins subsequent to their
fathers sudden death and the publica-
ton of a will which cut them off with
an annuity of 50, 900 each. George was
engaged to Miss Felicite OgleSby, the
highly ACCOMPLISHED daughter of the
distinguished soldier and statesman
who now lies sick unto death at his
Springfield residence. Miss Fernald was
already preparing her trousseau for her
expected marriage to Walter Sanger
when her father peremptorily announced
that Lyman had regretted her betrothal
to the youth and would indefinitely
postpone the event. This declaration
was accepted by the young man as the
end of his engagement
When George asked the woman, who
had dismissed his brother from her ar
fectiOnS, to become his wife there was
no paternal mentor near by to give
counsel, nor did she communicate with
the sire by telegraph or telephone. Hav-
ing mind of her own that was not
considered when society gossips had set
tied on the plans for her wedding to
Sanger, she did not debate long whether
she should become a member of the
Pullman family after all. It was her
boast after the ceremony was perform
ed that the little scheme which secured
the services of a minister when Hymen
seemed unpropitious was of her plan
ming
George and Lyman were welded Aug
II at the Holland House by an ASbury
Park minister. For two weeks they
made daily excursions into the country
and up the Hudson, finding delights in
those romantic scenes which appeal to
those who are in love. George proposed
a trip to Europe. but his wife. with a
more frugal mind, suggested that they
go to housekeeping at once They
abandoned the luxurious apartments in
the Holland House, which had already
taken large chunk out of Georges
money for the year. and rented a pretty
country house with many gables at
Freehold, N. j. Until Georges unex-
pected arrival in Chicago, with hints
dropped by his companions, it was be-
Heved that Mr.. and Mrs Pullman were
living as happily as two cooling doves.
