instances the leases required the payment of a
minimum royalty each year, whether or not any
coal was taken from the property leased. II was
these obligations which precipitated the company s
insolvency.

WIFE SUES EK.sHERIFF O'BRIEN.
SHE CHARGES NoN-sUPPoRT AND ASKS
FOR SEPARATION.

Ex-Sheriff O'Brien. now more than seventy
years old. is being sued by his wife Ella Abbie
OBrien. for separation. on the ground of aban-
donment and non-support. and in addition for
nearly $4,000 in money he is alleged to have
obtained from his wife. No charges. however
are made against his moral character.
The ex-Sherif explains the disagreement be
tween himself and his wife by saying that for a
long time he has not been pleased with the
company she has kept. His wife's treatment Of
him has been another ground for complaint. he
says Before they moved TO Eighty-siXth-st.
the family lived for a time first in Fifty-fourth-
St. and then in Fifty-sixth-st. In that time Mr.
O'Rrien did not go home much on one occasion
he went to the house in FIfty-sixth-st.. and
was told that his trunk had been sent to the
Holland House.
1t is said that Mr. and Mrs OBren have not
spoken for more than year Mr.. O'Brien says
that that has been his way of showing his re-
sentiment. But he did not want his children 10
suffer. so the house in Eighty-sixth-st.. which
cost $4,000. was given to the two boys until
they came OF age, when it is to revert to the
two girls. In the mean time. according to his
wife the provisions for the family bought
by a man servant, and she must go to him for
the least article of food. In pursuance of the
same policy the clothes of the family are
bought by a saleswoman in one of the depart
ment stores, Mrs. O'Brien says.
At one time. says Mrs. O'Brien, she received
$40 month as an allowance for household eX-
penses. She asks for allowance of 800
a month. She declares that, while she is with
out means. her husband lives at the best hotels.
The eN-Sherim declares that his plans of sup
plying food ana clothing to his family are
prompted by a desire for economy. and are made
necessary by decrease in his bank account
He says he cannot afford to supply luxu-
res without stint
The money O'Brien is being sued for is in
two accounts one for 81 500 and the other for
$4,000. The $4,000 is said to be money lent
him by his wife, and the 81 500 is rent, which
she says he has collected and kept on a house
given by him to his wife shortly after their mar
riage.
The ex-Sheriff says that he gave his wife the
money its equivalent, and that neither she
her family had any money.
The late Calvin 5. BTice was instrumental in
the making Of a large part of O'Brien's fortune
according TO Mrs. O'Brien. She says that her
husband told her that shortly before Mr.. BTiCe
died, he had said TO O'Brien:
II have done favors for many Of my friends
but believe 1 have never done anything for
you. Here is plan, tip If l live ] will use
il myself but il | die you may it.
O'Brien ID the tip and made 100000 by
IL il is said. 1t with part OF this money
that the Eighty-siXth-st. house was bought,
Mrs. O'Brien says.
Mrs. O'Brien Is the daughter of John Cook.
former contractor of Saratoga. y. Y. who died
in 1858. She nineteen year old when
OBrien married her in 1851.
