 Sister of Mrs. Hartte.

rfttsburg. Oct. Very little of a definite nature is known here regard ing the sensational developments in fhe Hartie divorce case which are al- fared by the woman's husband. Angus tus Hartje, millionaire paper manufac- turer of this city.
 The confession which Thomas Ma dine. the coachman correspondent said to have made to MT. Hart1e's represen- tatfves, has created a profound sen- sation. It was learned today that Ma dine was married recently and Is now iln Belfast, Ireland. with his wife. It is said that Nadine intends to make that place his permasent home,
 Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, who is visit ing at igonier Springs, Pa, In a telephonic conversation with this city today, declined to discuss the new phases of the case as alleged by her husband. The petition to the su- preme court results, 1t Is said, upon the discovery of a package of letters alleged to have been written by the two sisters of Mrs. Hartje and Thomas Nadine, the object being to show that Mrs. Hartje was guilty of the charges of intimacy brought by her husband. These letters of Mrs. Hartje's sisters are alleged to contain damaging ad- missions Much documentary evidence and a confession, it is alleged, have been secured from Nadine.
 Within a short time, 1t Is promised. a still greater sensation than that which came to light this morning will be made public by Mrs. Hartje's coun- sel.
 Concerning the letters alleged to have been written by Ida Scott, sis ter of Mrs. Hartje, 1t Is said they were addressed to Howard Lappe of this city. It was Lappe who eloped to Youngs- town. Ohio, with Ida Scott last spring, but parental objections prevented the marriage. Referring to the letters to- day. Augustus Hartje said:
 The circumstances surrounding the discovery of additional letters leave no doubt that they are genuine and estab- fish beyond a doubt that the charges made were true. The letters from Mrs. Hartje's own sister prove that she knew the charges against the wa man from whom I seek a divorce are srge. There is no possible way to deny the authenticity or genuineness of these letters sent to Lappe. They were written by a girl who expected to become the wife of the man to whom they were written and the very tone shows them to be just as We state. We have the originals and any one who has any desire to do so can see them.
 1T have nothing to say about the man who will sell the letters receiv- ed from his former sweetheart, for that Is what he did. There may have been circumstances which induced him to do as he did, but the fact remains that we have the letters. which mater tally help to prove our case and we own them because we bought them"
