YOUNG PULLMAN'S ESCAPADES.
Eastern Folk Quite Interested in His
Marital Affairs.

New York, May 1.-THE compli-
Gated marital affairs of George NJ
Pullman continue TO furnish an in
teresting topic. If the picturesque
young Chicagoan would only tell
where and when and how he obtained
a divorce from Mrs. Pullman, No. l.
and if Mrs. Pullman, No. 2, would
only be so obliging as to inform the
curious how she secured a decree of
separation from Frederick V. Bowers,
without his knowledge or consent,
then would the subject be robbed of
its mystery and the gossips find in it
no further fascination.
Lawyer Abe Hummel has been re-
tanned by Pullman to defend the suits
brought against him by Bowers. Mr.
Hummel seemed to furnish a clew as
to how Mrs Bowers secured divorce
by the chance remark that the young
woman had married the song com
poser while she was yet in her
teens. This remark suggested the
theory that when she welded Bowers
she was not of manageable age.
When this phase of the question
was put before Mr.. Bowers, he said:
My wife was not in her teens when
we were married in Milwaukee. She
was quite a long way out of them.
At the time of our wedding she was
over Il. Today she is q years old.

the Beers OF their willingness to help.
This small force penetrated into the
neighborhood of the previous fight, and
twenty-five miles west of Bloemfontein
met 10000 native warriors again on the
banks of the Modder River. From the
meager reports that exist concerning
this fight it must have occurred almost
in the same spot on which Lord Rob-

The Kafirs, uttering their war cries
and brandishing their spears, dashed up

the enemy. Then three simultaneous
charges from three different directions
swept them off their feet, and in an
hour 5000 OF them lay dead on the
plain below the left bank OF the river.

Sir George Napier, who was repre-

tacitly gave the consent OF the British
government to this compact, for the
principal purpose, as he states, "of

the same time he gave the Beers to
understand distinctly that his act was
not to be construed as in any way for
feiting the British sovereignty over
them and their newly gained possess
sions.
