SUIT AGAINST A PRINCE.
Austrian NobIeman Made Defendant
in an Action for Debt

NEW YORK, Nov 12.-Prince Francois
Marie Joseph von Auersperg was served
yesterday with a summons in suit for
lawyers fees at his home, 326 West Sew
enty-eighth Street The suit is brought
in the City Court. When this prince was
a student i'm the Long Island Medical Col
Iege. seeking TO acquire a profession that
he might earn his living. he was not trou-
blgd with creditors and suits. He had slf-
feTld enough from them in Austria. But
as the husband Of great heiress, those
who claim that this scion of one of tie
oldest. most artistocratic and distinguish
ed families in Europe owes them money
take more interest in him.
The particular claim upon whieh salt
is brought involves $2.0SS in American
money. The real plaintiff is DR.. Theo lore
Guttmanu. Vienna lawyer, who is repre-
sented in this country by Lawyer Viii
liam y. Loew. of the Pulitzer Building.
Mr. Loew's brother was formerly a States
attorney in Budapest, and it was through
him that the Guttmann claim was placed
in the hands OF the New York lawyer
The suit is an echo Of the past. Mr..
LoeW has a bill of particulars which Dr.
Guttmann sent him. There are several
long sheets of paper filed with entries
forth in minute detail At the end is
what purports to be an acknowledgment
of the Indebtedness by Prince AUersperg.
The date is October Is, 1895.
That. Of course, was before Prince
Auersperg came TO this country. He led
a pretty wild life in Austria and Hungary
Now il should be said of Prince Auers-
perg thar while he was of this reckless,
pleasure pursuing. rollickiug band of
noble spendthrifts, he was never guilty
Of anything disgraceful or even very bad.
The worst that can be said of him was
that he dissipated his fortune and incurred
immense debts. Four or five years ago
he found himself at the end OF his t7ther.
Prince Auersperg came to America. He
dropped his title, entered the Long Island
Medical College. where he worked hard.
Nothing could have been a greater change,
but he stuck to it and was graduated with
honors His rank was not known until
his engagement to Miss Florence Hazard,
the daughter OF (. c. Hazard, was an
nounced. The prince refused TO discuss
the suit yesterday.

INDICATED IN HER GRAVE.
a secret Marriage Announced After
the Wife's Death.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-Ostracized and
bearing the burden of her secret marriage,
Mrs, Lillian r. Whitaker died. The min
lister who baptized her child yesterday
presented his resignation to the trustees
of the Elmwood Presbyterian Church, of
East Orange. y. J.
Miss Lillian R. ELAN, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Duncan A. ELAN, of Bedford
Street. East Orange, was a favorite in the
Elmwood Presbyterian Church, of which
the Rev. s. J. McCIenaghan is the pastor.
More than two years ago George w.
Whitaker, teller in the East Orange Ma
tional Bank was marked in the attentions
that he paid to Miss -EIlam. They were
secretly married, and some months .aLer
a girl child was born little later Mrs.
Whitaker. who was still known as Miss
ELAN. came back to her home, bringing
with her the child, which she said was
the adopted child of a friend who had
died
Soon after the fact Of the marriage was
made known to Mr. McClenaghan. and
proper proofs brought forward. Mr.. Whit
aker is his nephew, and there had been
opposition to his attentions to Miss E.
lam Mr.. McClenaghan baptized the child
at Mr. EIlam's house, giving it the name
of Margery Louise Whitaker Mr.. and
Mrs ELAN, as well as Mrs. Whitaker,
were induced to keep the marriage secret,
on the ground that it would endanger
Whitakers position in the bank.
The baby was put in the care Of a Mrs.
GnIard TO board, and the fact that it was
Miss Ellam's child became known. with
the result that she was practically ostra-
cised in the church circles and her life
made so unhappy that she went to Boston,
where she took d course OF study as a
trained nurse, entering the Chi.dren's 5
Hospital there. In the course Of her duties
she contracted typhoid fever. and died
there on October 2S. Her body was brought
home. and it was decided to hold the
funeral service in the church with which
she had been identified from childhood.
But although she had been turned away
in the social life of the church, a repara-
ton was to come.
II was insisted on by her friends that
a public acknowledgement must be made
of the fact of her marriage, and the Rev.
Mr. McClenaghen was asked 10 make it.
The sermon was an eloquent one, and just
at the close he slowly said that no stigma
she had been legally and lawfully married,
This announcement created a sensation.
A young woman in the congregation faint
ed when she heard for the first time that
Whitaker had been married
Mr. McClenaghan's resignation was
read in the church today. he is now on
the way to Cuba and Porto Rico on an
extended trip

lor. a cattleman of Livingstone Mont, was

everything of value except a one-cent piece
had been taken. On the. right side of the
head, back of the ear is cash four inches

City hotels were visited by a reporter yes

scription had registered at any of them.

week ago. He paid for his room in ad-
vance, and then left. saying he would send
his trunks over from the Grand Central
Station. Since that day nothing had been
heard or seen of him. He paid for his
room out of a bag Of $40 gold pieces. The
Hoboken police wired TO Montana last
night to obtain more information regarding
Taylor.
One of the letters found in the dead
mans pocket was signed Your loving
niece, Annie" The writer expressed
pleasure that Uncle Jack intended
spending the winter in Manchester and
asked him to let her know on what
steamer he intended sailing. The Hobo
ken police believe that Taylor was on his
way to England with a sum Of money

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov l2--For threat
ening to kill former Governor Frank S.
Black in Troy yesterday afternoon a young
man named Funk was locked up in Jail
and will be examined as TO his sanity.
The arrest was caused by friends OF the
former Governor, who had been informed
OF the threats, and on enquiry thought the
situation so dangerous as to require
prompt action. District Attorney Howard
was consulted and sent detectives to make
the arrest, while others quietly guarded
Mr. Blacks law Office, where he was at
work, so that no harm could come to him.
Funk was found near the office, where
he was evidently in waiting. He went
quietly with the police, and told a discon-
nected story to the effect that Mr. Black
had done him an injury the exact nature
of which he did not seem to know. Several
of Mr.. Blacks friends attended the eX
animation of Funk and they say he is
undoubtedly insane, and has a dangerous
homicidal mania, which requires him TO
be locked up.
