PULLMAN SUED
Song Writer Bowers Demands $780,
900 Damages From Him.


New York, May 4.--Young George NJ.
Pullman son of the late Chicago million
airc car builder, who is living at the Ho-
tel Gerard with Mrs. +. V. Bowers,
whom lie declares he married recently,
wilt be compelled to prove in court just
when end where he secured divorce
from his first wife, Mrs. Lynne Fernald
Pullman. and when and where he mar
ricd Mrs. Bowers.
Mrs. Bowers husband. Frederick w.,
The song writer, has sued his wife for di-
vorce, naming young Pullman as core
spondcnt, and has begun another legal
action to recover 500. 900 from Pullman.
which sum. he names as the damages he
has sustained by the alleged alienation
Of his wife's affections by the Chicago
youth who says he is Mrs. Bowers sec
Ond husband
The papers in both suits were served
by Bowers lawyers, Epstein Bros Il Ed
ward Katz. The service was accepted
by Pullman and Mrs. Bowers philosoph-
icaly. They have 90 days within which
to file their answers.
These two suits of Bowers bring to n
climax the extremely peculiar and highly
sensational matrimonial affairs of George
Nj. Pullman. He still insists that he and
his first wife are divorced; that Mrs.
Bowers and her husband are divorced.
and that he, Pullman. and Mrs. Bowers
have been legally married. He contn-
ucs, however, to refuse to reveal where
and when these alleged divorces We're Sc
cured and also the date and place of the
wedding.
Pullman's first wife, formerly Lynne
Fernad Of Chicago. emphatically de-
clares that her matrimonial bonds were
never legally severed, and Mr.. Bowers
makes the same assertion. The courts
will compel Pullman to solve the prob
lem.

made corporal few days later. We
held that place % days, lying in the

he always had a good word for his

pa on Lake Laguncide Bay. The
natives in some parts of the island

They wear hardly anything. Some
wear breechcloth. The islands arc

four months since ram has fallen.
The rainy season lasts about six
months. Fruit is very cheap. We

ney Elected a Director.
The first monthly meeting of the d.
rectors of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad since July was
held Saturday afternoon, President
John M. Hall presiding. The usual
quarterly dividend of per cent was
declared, and President Hall submitted
to the board a report of the business
for the fiscal year ending June 80 last
The report showed that the gross earn
ings for the year amounted to about
forty million dollars, the largest year s
income that the road has ever made
This income also includes the earnings
of the New England road, now a part
of the Consolidated system. The gross
receipts in 1885, not including the earn
ings of the New England, amounted to
about thirty million dollars The total
amount of the earnings for last year
was a considerable increase in two
years without the New EngIand's
earnings, and shows that the compa-
nys business is increasing. President
Halls report will be issued to the d.
rectors in a few days.
AT Saturdays meeting Col Frank W.
Cheney, of South Manchester, was
elected a director to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Henry
C. Robinson of Hartford.
