HARTJE PLANS NEW SUIT.
Wife of Piftsburg Millionaire Has
Possession of Children.

Pittsburg. Oct. 6.-"We never stop" was
the answer Of Augustus Hartje to-day
when asked what would be his policy if
the Superior Court Of Pennsylvania,
which meets tomorrow in Philadelphia,
decided adversely on his appeal in the
famous divorce suit. He would not talk
further on the probable outcome Of the
case.
tt is generally understood that if he
loses, a new suit for divorce. in which a
prominent business man will be named.
will be entered at once. 1t is said that
Hartte has new evidence on which to
base a new suit for divorce against his
wife, Mary Scott Hartje. and if defeated
in the higher court will spring a new sen
sation.
Mrs. Hartje IS at the home of her pa
rents in this city, after a sOjOurn all sum
mer at Ligonier. She still has possession
OF her children.
Tom Nadine, the erratic coachman, is
still missing. Neither side seems worried
over his absence. and il Is believed that
they have no further use for him. The
new evidence that Hartje is said to pos
sess precludes the necessity of making a
hunt for Nadine

Of the leased-wire operators were hissed
and those who were for it were ap-
plauded. James J. Marsh. employed by
A. 0. Brown & Co in their telegraph
department, said that the strike call
should be limited to those concerns which
signed agreements after the first day Of
the strike He did not like the breaking
of contracts.
When small took the floor he said that
under no circumstances would the na-
tional officers agree to abrogate any con-
tracts. When Small finished there was
silence for two or three minutes. and he
walked out of the hall Some of the
leased-wire operators left the hall with
him.
Then the order for the strike of leased
wire operators on Wednesday was af-
frmed amid applause.
