COVENEY DISAPPEARED
Widow Of Billy Florence
Sues for Divorce From
Her Second Hus-
band.

Lawyer Edward O'Callahan of this city,
will apply to Vice Chancellor Pitney next
week for an order of publication in a re-
markable divorce case 1t that of Mrs.
Anie T. Coveney against Geo. Howard
Coveney, formerly an actor. Mrs. Coveney
was formerly the wife of that famous
actor, William j. Florence. After his
death his widow joined the Almighty
Dollar Company where she met Cow
eney.
After a long courtship Mrs. Florence
was married to Coveney on January 10,
1893 by the Rev. J. J. Morris, of New
York City. When not travelling with her
husband Mrs. Coveney resided at Asbury
Park where she owned a handsome
house.
Three years after the marriage Mr..
Coveney suddenly left the house and from
that to the present day his wife has never
seen him or heard from him. He left
behind him letter to Mrs. Coveney in
which he said:--
ut is my determination to go where you
will never find me, never, never,
In this he seems to have been success
full, as Mrs. Coveney says, for she has
made repeated attempts to discover his
Whereabouts but all were in vain. Among
New York City members of the theatri-
cal profession no one precisely knows
where the ''dashing George Coveney'' is.
Some believe he is dead, others says he
is in Alaska hunting for gold, while one
actor said recently that he commanded a
company under General Cronje in South
Africa and with him was captured by
General Lord Roberts and subsequently
sent to ST. Helena, where, it is said, he
now is. This actor added that he had re-
oeived a letter from Coveney prior to the
capture of Cronje's army. Mrs. Coveney,
however. has no knowledge of his where
abouts.
She came to Jersey City some time ago
and resided for some time at the Hotel
Washington.
No answer having been filed to Mrs.
Coveney's petition within the time re-
quired by the statute an order for publ
cation will be granted.

JUDGE KIRKPATRICK HOME
Benefited By the Carlsbad
Baths Reticent on
Politics.
Especial to .sThe Jersey city News. ~

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News'I
NEWARK, Aug. q. 1901. S. District
Court Judge Andrew Kirkpatrick arrived
home Saturday from Europe, much bene-
flied by the baths at Carlsbad which he
took for his rheumatism. He said that
he had spent pleasant time abroad, and
had greatly enjoyed his trip notwith-
standing that his rheumatism troubled
him at times.
I'VE spent nearly all our time at Carls-
bad" he said, where took the baths
fer my rheumatic ailment. l can assure
J'ou the baths are the best remedy in
the world, and they did me whole lot
of good At one time 1 actually thought
would be cured entirely, but as the old
saying goes, the cat came back, and
here I am still suffering from the same
old complaint, but it is not nearly half
so bad as before I went away.
What kind of treatment did l receive?
Why, the finest in the world I daily Wis
tied the baths and was constantly untfer
the care of skilled physician, who is a
specialist in the treatment of rheuma-
tism. He treated me kindly and we got
along very well together. AS for the
baths, I don't believe there is anything
better in the world to relive rheumatism
They simply put new life in your whole
system
Judge Kirkpatrick spoke of the famous
Bohemian watering place in glowing
terms. He said its waters were efficacious
for nearly all complaints. The town is
situated in the narrow valley of the
River Tepe, and the pine-clad slopes of
the hills are traversed by paths in all di-
rections.
The springs, of which the Oldest most
cepious is the Sprudel, which Yields about
thirty-three cubic feet minute, are the
finest in the world. The colonnade, an
imposing iron structure, covers the
Sprudel spring, which gushes up in jets
one and half feet thick and from forty
to sixty per minute, and varying from six
to thirteen feet in height.
One popularity about Carlsbad is that
the town owns the springs and all comers
are taxed for what is known as a "visi-
tors tax For those who stay week or
more no charge is made for drinking the
water at the springs
Visitors are divided into classes and
taxed accordingly. The first-class pay S.
the second So, and the third 50, in addition
family during the summer, ranging from
$3.50 for first-class visitors to 81 for third
class.
while at Carlsbad" contiued the
Judge Il met ex-Secretary of State Hem
ry c. Kelsey, of Trenton, and Leonard,
Samuel and Abner Kalisch. of Newark
Also Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, of

wives.

KILLED BY A boil I
lightning Claims Two Vic
Tins at the Schuetz-
en- Park.
FOUR OTHERS WE'RE SHOCKED
Had Taken Refuge From the
Rain in a Small
Pavilion.

During the half hour thunderstorm, yes
terday, lightning struck pavilion in
the Union Hill Schuetzen Park, killing
two boys and injuring a woman and three
men. One of the boys, Joseph Schoening,
u yeas old of No. 13s Blum street, Union
Hill. died instantly. The other, who was
not identified, died twenty minutes later
without regaining consciousness.
More than two thousand people were in
the park attending the annual festival of
the Plattdeutsche Volkfest Verein The
festival began a week ago and closed last
night AS soon as the storm was seen
coming a large number of the visitors,
who were strolling about the grounds,
made rush for the big dancing pavilion.
Some reached it. but majority were
caught in the rain and were obliged to
take shelter in smaller pavilions local 1
in various sections of the park All the
pavilions are equipped with electric
lights. The wire which supply these and
other lights form a network through the
park and offer a strong attraction for the
lightning
The rain fell in torrents at the. start
A few minutes later there was a flash of
fire followed by a loud report The
Tightening struck a wire and ran along it
to one of the small pavilions in which
We're more than fifty people. The next
instant the fire flashed in the pavilion
Schoening and the other boy who was
killed were the first to fall They were
standing side by side near the place where
the wire entered the building A woman
about sixty years old and three men who
We're near them also fell. Then men,
though stunned, recovered quickly, but
the boys and the woman remained uncon-
scious. They were carried to the castle,
where all efforts to revive them failed. DR..
Stellwagen of Union Hill was sent for. He
pronounced Schoening dead. The old lady
was brought To- consciousness quickly and
it was found that she was suffering from
shock only. The other boy was still un-
conscious. DR.. Stillwagen said he thought
he could save him, but his efforts were un-
successful. The boy died twenty minutes
later. No one in the park knew him and
there was nothing on his person by which
he could be identified.
The bodies of the boys were removed to
| Coroner Charles Hoffmann's morgue in
Hoboken. From appearances the boys
must have stood with their backs to the
f, lightning. Each body was badly burned
! and confused on the back of the neck an6
| shoulders. The unidentified boy was abass
nineteen years old. The old lady, went
| home without giving her name.

Carrier Pigeons In Eng1and.

Englishmen in all quarters of the island
are training carrier pigeons for the pur-
pose of systematic transmission of mes
sages AT the Crystal Palace a pigeon post
has been established. and 1t is said to be
working perfectly. Numerous clubs have
sprung up, which carry on regular COM
munication with continual points by
means of these "postmen of the air" 1t

will be immensely valuable to the country
in tn event Of war. 1t IS recalled that one
of Lord Rothschild's pigeons brought TO
England the first news of the battle or
Waterloo and that large use was made
of such birds during the siege of Paris.

United states Threat to Send War
ships Brings n Reply on the
Indemnity Claim.

Constantinople, April 23.-The sub
lime porte, greatly concerned over
the firm attitude of Col. Hay, the
American secretary of state, has re-
piled to the American demand for
payment of the 100000 ($100, OO0)
claimed as compensation for damage
to American property during the Ar
menian massacres. The sultan agrees
to pay the Americans under the same
conditions as apply to citizens of
other foreign states who sustained
losses in the same uprisings. The sui
tan breads an American naval dem
onstration in the Mediterranean, and
his worry over the indemnity compli-
cation has had the effect of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising
of customs duties. Whereas the am
bassadors hitherto have lodged with
his majesty four Intellectual protests,
now he consents to negotiate the mat
ter.
The representatives of the other
great powers here watch the issue of
the Turco-American difficulty with
great interest, for if the United States
succeeds in getting a settlement from
this bad debtor the other powers will
demand the immediate adjustment Of
their claims. II is understood here
that the American government actual
ly has threatened to send the Turkish
minister, Ali Ferrouh Bey, his pass
ports unless the matter is quickly
cleared up.
