With Mr.. Hanson.

Nolan is a drummer with a fine sense In
his appreciation of modern inventions like
wise of classjfcations thereof.
lie is fond OF the bicycle for what IL has
done for him, but he draws the line at
automobiles. His adherence OF the latter
one of the ilk he has commenced suit
for divorce.
Nolan has been living with his wife
for some months at 25l Ninety-third
street, while his duties, occasioned by
his connection with wholesale grocery
house at 16 Harrison street, took him on
the road good deal of the time.
1t was in 1894 that Nolan entered the
married state. and now, after six years
OF domestic bliss. he seeks to have his
wife, Jennie, set aside. And all on ac-
count of an automobile-and its owner.
In June OF the present year Mrs. Nolan
expressed an opinion that her health re-
auired change OF air and suggested Sea-
bright would be about the right sort or
a spot.
AS Nolan consented she took her belong-
ings, and repaired to that resort, Nolan
managing to pass Sunday there about
every second week Mrs. Nolan evidently
found life by the sea waves rather lone
some without her liege lord so she cast
about for other handy material TO while
away the long days and longer evenings.
NAMES MIR. HANSON.
A Jersey City real estate man. oscar
Hanson by name. crossed her line OF VI
sion at that time. with the result that he
is now named as the correspondent in the
case Hanson had an automobile and he
took IL to Seabrght. He also took Mrs.
Nolan out for long rides afternoons and
evenings according to the affidavit made
by Nolan I'm his complaint.
For some time after Mrs. Nolan went
to the Jersey coast her husband had no
suspicious, but along towards the last OF
July he began 10 think.
So, instead OF going on trip OF two
weeks, for which he was booked he land
ed near Seabright one evening with his
bicycle. which he had been keeping In his
New York fat.
Mounting his wheel about dusk Nolan
kept in sight of the house where his wife
was staying and was shortly rewarded
with a sight OF her being handed into the
machine belonging 10 the Jersey City Mr..
Hanson.
And the two were soon speeding off on
the Rumson road I'm the direction OF
Pleasure Bay. Mr.. Nolan followed at
safe distance. As the night was dark and
the roads particularly smooth Mr.. Nolan
got within close range of the speeding
auto and saw some evidences OF endear-
ment and affection that he did not believe
should have been on the carte du jour.
TARRIED LONG AT TABLE.
At Pleasure Bay the carriage drew up
befoe Prices, and Mr. Hanson and Mrs.
Nolan tarried long enough to be wined
and dined by the restaurateur OF that
resort.
Meanwhile, Nolan complains bitterly
because he was forced TO kick his heels
outside with nothing to- assuage his hum
ger, and wait until the couple saw fit TO
start on the return trip. The event was
greatly delayed, for Mr.. Hanson and his
companion seemed loath to leave the
dining table.
After a while the meal came to an end.
according 10 the custom OF all things
and soon the pair were on their way back
to Seabright in a much more affectionate
condition even than when they started
out. Mr.. Nolan says the twain stopped
for a couple of hours at a road house en-
route, a place that does not bear the
most savory reputation.
IL was long past midnight when they
again made their appearance. AS the
auto started Nolan bore down on IL with
n shout and a misguided wheel His
wife saw him in the moonlight. and rec
ognized him.
Then there was a very much broken
bicycle and n husband very much dis
turbed mentally and physically. Hanson
was going to get out and help Nolan
when the latter's wife apprised her COM
panion who Nolan was. Then he changed
his mind and made off with all speed
Mrs Nolan has left Seabright and was
for few days in this city. but she has
now rejoined her parents at Waterbury,
ct. Nolan Is seriously considering a
suit for alienation of affections as we'll
as his divorce proceedings now under
way.
