CALLED [ INTO COURT
CHARLES NORDBY SUES THE Al
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF HIS
HOME CIRCLE
GROCER ERICKSON THE MAN

Plaintiff Asks the Sum of $4,000
for Loss of the Aid, Comfort, So
ciety and Assistance of His Wife
Her Affections Said to Have
Been AIienated by the Siren Song
of the SiIver-TOngued Grocer.
That the alienation of the affections of
another mans wife is very serious af-
falr Is the lesson conveyed to John Fl.
Erickson, grocer, living at $50 Payne
avenue, in complaint in an action COM
menced by Charles Nordby, shoe deal
er, living on Dayton's bluff Mr. Nordby
seeks to recover, through the medium of
the district cout, $4,000 that he feels is
due him for the loss of the aid, comfort,
society and assistance of Mrs. Nordby.
The plaintiff was married in April, 1888,
to Miss Emma Johnson and the couple
lived happily together until July 1, 1893,
when, Mr.. Nordby alleges, the serpent
entered his home in the guise of John H
Erickson, and since then life has not
been the same to him as formerly.
1t appears that Erickson has been in
the habit of delivering groceries and TAX
ing orders at the Nordby homestead,
where he called frequently, and about
July i, 1898, according to the complaint,
found time between booking orders for
garden truck and groceries to whisper
words of love to Mrs Nordby. She, so
her husband swears, listened to the siren
song of the smooth-tongued groceryman,
forgetting as she did SO her duty to her
husband and to her two daughters, the
eldest of whom is 10 and the youngest 8
years.
The groceFyman also, according to the
aggrieved husband, forgot the existence
of Mrs. Erickson and his family, and
from that Hateful July day Mr.. Nordby
aff1rms he wholly lost the comfort, aid,
society and assistance of the said wife"
This fact worried Mr.. Nordby consider
ably, and also became rumored among
the neighbors apparently, because Mr..
Nordby says he has been held up to
ridicule and cscorn" Finally he could no
longer stand the pressure of his feelings,
and he sought the advice of Mcdonald,
Kelly & Stohbart and commenced an ac-
ton to recover $4,000 for alleged aliena-
ton of his wife's affections. The papers
in the case have been served.

CAPTURE OF ART THIEVES.
An Exciting Chase of Robbers on
Fifth Avenue.


New York, March 22.-Fifth Avenue had
a man hunt yesterday forenoon, in which a
hanson cab, several bicycles and about
200 pedestrians took part. 1t resulted in
the capture of two men who attempted to
rob an art store.
William Clausen, a dealer in Eorks of
art, was alone in his store, which is in the
middle of the block between Thirty fifth
and Thirty sixth Streets, at 10 o'clock
in the morning, when two well-dressed men
entered. One of them asked TO see some
engravings, and the other man walked to
the rear gallery
Hearing a sliding door of a large glass
cabinet being opened, Mr.. Clausen stepped
back and asked the stranger what he was
doing. The reply was that he wanted a
better view of the paintings in the case.
This disarmed Mr.. Clausen's suspicious,
and q moment later he left the two strang-
ers examining nine miniatures in the case
while he attended to a customer who had
entered. Just then Otto karch, clerk
employed by Mr.. Clausen, entered the store
and saw one of the strangers putting
small framed oil painting under his over
coat.
Shouting to Mr.. Clausen, Those men are
stealing your paintings." he closed the
door from the outside and held it shut,
while he startled Fifth Avenue with cries
of Help Thieyes!"
Mr. Clausen approached the men as one
of them passed a painting by j. ii. Dolph
TO the other and told them to remain
where they were. heavy blow under the
chin dazed him and knocked him over an
easel. Before he could regain his feet the
two men had pulled the door open. brush
ed Karch aside and were running up F1fth
Avenue. Clausen and Karch followed
them, shouting Stop thief"
At Thirty sixth Street the men turned
east and at Madison Avenue separated, one
turning south in the avenue and the 9TH
er continuing toward Park Avenue. Karch
jumped into a cab and followed the man
down Madison Avenue, shouting to two
bicyciists to follow the other robber, and
they did So When Karch had his man
well winded, Policeman Nachbar seized
him.
The other man was captured by Detect
i've Henderson at Thirty-fifth Street and
Lexington Avenue Both men were taken
back to the art store, where Clausen and
karCh identified them
Henderson's prisoner described himself
as Charles Stevens. twenty eight years old,
address refused. His companion said he
was James Neal. twenty eight years old,
of 257 West Thirty-ninth Street.
At police headquarters Charles Stevens
was recognized as James or ''Mofty' Con-
molly, a graduate of the Massachusetts
reformatory, and only recently released
from Sing Sing
Mr.. Clausen said that the two men had
visited his place several times before their
call yesterday, and four of the miniatures
the men were inspecting are missing. None
OF these was found on the prisoners.

Hot ashes on the dumb waiter set fire TO
the three-sto frame tenement house at u
and 80 Reid Avenue, at a. m. The people
on the first and second floors quickly got
into the street. On the third floor lived
Diedrick Bahrenberg, his wife, and five
children, and Edward Conklin, his wife and
friend. Mrs. C. F. Handy. who had gone
there TO keep house, for Mrs. Conklin has
been bedridden with rheumatism for six
weeks.
The burning staircase penned the people
on the third floor. The seven Bahrenbergs,
big and little, safely climbed down the fire
escape, smoke pouring out around them.
| flame fast approaching. Engine No. Il had
just then arrived. Firemen Bolen and Ga
rah went up the re-escape like monkeys
and carried down Mrs. Conklin, half suf-
focated.
Then Conklin, first, and Mrs. Handy
started down the fire-escape. Conklin had
passed the second-story windows when
Mrs Handy remembered she had left her
dearly-beloved pet poodle, and climbed
up the ladder again. Conklin yelled at
her, and was going after her when the
secondstory windows fell out and the
flames, sweeping out, separated him from
her Scarcely had Conklin reached the
ground when the lower half of the escape,
loosened from its fastenings, fell.
Mrs. Handy climbed into the window of
the third story and reappeared there with
the blinking. wheeling poodle under her
arm. She was about to get out on the
fire-escape, but the firemen and the crowd
yelled at her, Stay there! Stay there."
for, of course, she did not know that the
lower half of the escape had fallen
Firemen Rubley and Sennell ran up
stairs in the house next door, out on the
roof, threw themselves fiat at the edge of
the roof OF the burning building, but could
not reach Mrs. Handy's uplifted hand. Her
other arm was still around the poodle
Foreman Golden Joined his comrades. Rub
ley, fiat on the roof, grasped Sennell's
waist and held him head down, over the
edge of the roof. While every one cheered
him Golden lowered himself over Sennell's
body until his feet touched the sill of the
window where stood Mrs. Handy, the fire
licking at her.
Bracing himself in the window, Golden
tried to lift Mrs. Handy up to Sennell.
She frightened. screamed and fought, but
held on to the poodle. What Golden said
about the poodle will never be known,
but he grabbed it and threw it up to SEN
nell, who caught it and threw it on the
roof Her beloveds safety seemed to re-
assure Mrs. Handy for she permitted Col
den, on his dangerous perch, to lift her
out and up.
Sennell seized her and Rubley hauled
them both to the roof. Then, making
their chain again, the two fremen pulled
up the fireman, and all, and the poodle,
descended to the street.

securing much better results from the
present method than from the old. All
seeds are now tested before being sent
Formerly seed was tested after distrihu-

Now the seeds are tested by our scientists
and 80 per cent of them must germinate or
they are rejected The seeds We are send

year are the best the department has ever

simply distributing common seeds This
