AN INHUMAN IUSBAXD.
Wanted to Have Ills Snno Wife Incarucr
ted in nn Insnno Asylum.
Michael Sandofskl, of 'rrlooburg.
came to this city yesterday for the
purpose of hnvlng his wife. Veronica,
committed to tho Danville Insane usy
lum. His love for a woman who re
sides nenr hhn Is said to have been the
cause of hla desire to have his Bane
wife declared a lunatic.
, They were married nine years ago nt
Suvalkl, Poland, and six months later
came to this country. HurlnK the
greater portion of the tlmi since thoy
landed on these shoves they have made
Priceburg their home. Mrs. Sondofskl
Is now but 27 years of uge and Is the
mother of four children, the oldest of
whom Is 7 and the youngest a bube In
arms.
The hushnnd came to Scranton yes
terday morning and sought the uld of
District Attorney Jones, assuring him
that Mrs. Sondofskl was a most Ir
responsible person. The latter was
sent for and brought her to this city
and had an examination as to her men
tul condition mado by Coroner J. A.
Kelley.
He reported to the district attorney
that Mrs. Sondofskl, though laboring
under some excitement, was perfectly
sane. The stories of the woman and
several of her friends were then heard
and it was learned that for a long time
she has suffered great Indignities at the
hands of her husband, who frequently
beat and threatened to kill her.
About a week ago he beat her shame-
wully and then put her and her babe
out of the house. Mr. and Mrs. Har
mon, of Priceburg, gave her shelter,
and she has since resided with them.
On Tuesday Mrs. Sondofskl had her
husband arraigned before Justice of the
Peace McCormlck, of Blakely, for as
sault and battery, and he was held In
bail for his appearance at court.
Mrs. Sondofskl says that her hus
band's love for another woman Is the
cause of their domestic troubles, and
that to prove his affection he recently
gave to his charmer two pigs which
his wife had raised with much labor
and care.
He Tried to Make I p.
After Sondofskl's unsuccessful at
tempt to have his wife sent to an In
sane asylum he tried to heal the wounds
he had created and besought her to re
turn with him to their home.
She refused to do so, saying that she
was afraid he would kill her, and went
back to Priceburg with Mr. and Mrs.
Harmon-

wanted to erect now buildings. The
constant overcrowded condition of the

section for such an Institution. Sev
eral of the committee refrained from
expressing an opinion when questioned
In the matter.
It had bee.n Intended to Inspect the

posed that the school appropriations

portion of the amount could be devoted
to state charities. It was the opinion
of ene of the committee, however, thtit
such a course will not be pursued, but

drawn character has lifted the burden
of many a weary toiler who has sought
rest and forgetfulness In the theater.
The play, "Shore Acres," is unusually
Interesting and had a remarkably suc
cessful career. Its scenes are laid at
Lamoyne, which faces Frenchman's
Bay, .and is close to Bar Harbor. It
will be seen at the Academy of Music

HANDLEY NOTE AGAIN.
Possible Thut New York Detectives Have
Pound a Clew.
A clew to the perpetrators of the
bogus Handley note Bwlndle and the
forged Fair note may possibly be ob
tained through the failure of Howell &
Co., bankers and brokers, of 80 Pine
street, New York. It was by using the
name of this and other reputable firms
that the forgers sought a prestige to
help carry out their plans..
Some of those Interested In the Pine
street firm ' have disappeared, which
has led the police of New York city and
Baltimore and the federal authorities
to begin work on a theory thnt the
concern of Howell & Co., had been
mixed up In the forgery transactions.
The name "Howell", appears In bath
the Fair and Handley schemes. In
each case the only address given
through which the sender of the notes
could be reached was ."Lock Box 815,"
New York city. As yet no positive evi
dence has been found that the "Howell"
of forgery fame has any connection
with the banking firm of that name and
which has failed.

SPOILED THEELOPE0
Country Postmaster Looking for His
' Wife in Scranton,
HIRED MAN .TOOK HER AWAY
Coupto Drove Away from the Villogo Dur
lag Monday , Night-Discovered by
Accident on an Erie and
Wyoming Valley Train.
Soveral detectives and a nervous hus
band were scouring Scranton and Its
depots and public, places during Tues
day and late that night In search of an
erring wife, a child and a bold, bad
hired man, who hud eloped with her
from Blooming Grove, Pike county.
The husband had a revolver In his
pocket and blood In his eye, but was
forced to leave the city yesterday
morning without finding thu objects of
his search. By a strange accident he
met thu guilty couple on an Krle and
Wyoming Valley train at Wimmer's.
There was no bloodshed, but the hus
band took charge of t)he woman and the
hired mun continued the Journey alone.
John Kluinhaus, the husband, Is the
postmuster at Blooming Grove, where
he has a store, owns a' farm and Is an
ull-around solid citizen of repute. The
hired man, Gilpin, hud been In the post
master's employ for nearly two yeurs.
The gossips of the little village con
tended that Gilpin, who Is young and
good looking, was more openly atten
tive to the wife than the rules of strict
propriety usually allow. None of the
stories reached the postmaster's ear,
nor wero his suspicions aroused until
he awakened Monday morning minus a
wife, a baby boy and hired man Gil
pin. Rods Away at Night.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the
pair had driven twenty-six miles during
tho night to Georgetown, on the Erie
and Wyoming Valley railroad. Where
they spent the Interval between their
arrival In Georgetown and their dis
covery by Postmaster Klelnhaus on
the train does not appear. Anyhow,
the husband gave chase und Tuesday
morning scoured llonesdale, where lie
purchased the revolver. iFlndlng no
trace of them he hurried to this city.
In Scranton Postmaster Klelnhaus
engaged detectives to assist him, but
their efforts were of no avail. Discour
aged and downcast he boarded the 9.45
Erie and Wyoming Valley train with
the Intention of returning home. At
Wlmmers, near Maplewood, a train
bound for Scranton was met, and as
the train bearing the husband came to
a halt he perceived his wife and hired
man, Gilpin, seated In a car on the ad
Joining track. He lost no time In con
fronting the pair.
Gilpin uttered not a word, but went
Into another car. Mrs. Klelnhaus
made a commonplace remark while her
husband gathered up her bundles and
the child, and followed him to the other
train.
Ho Tried to Get tho Trunks.
Gilpin came on to Scranton and made
a. weak attempt to secure his and his
fair companion's trunks from the Erie
and Wyoming Valley baggage room.
He did not press the matter after being
shown a telegram from Wlmmers ex
plaining the facts In the case. Ho left
on an afternoon Lackawanna train for
OouldPboro.
Mr. and Mrs. Klelnhaus were wedded
about three years ago. She Is young
and quite attractive.
Waldron Coming to Scranton.
Waldron, the great Canadian horse
dealer, Is coming here with two carloads
of the best horses ever offered In this
market for sale. One car will contain
work and business horses, the other will
have high knee actors, coachers, trotters
and pacers, and some extra fine combina
tion. saddlers. He will arrlvo about Wed
nesday next and stop at the Cuslck stables
on Washington avenue, where they con be
seen, tried and driven by those intending
to purchase. This Is the man that sold
sixty odd horses in a little over one hour
at Utlca, N. Y., something never before
accomplished. Of course the fact that ho
handles Canada horses Is what enables
him to make such quick sales. He will
Bell them at public auction for what they
will bring regardless of cost or valuation.
When a horso enters the auction ring he
must be sold at some price, win or lose,
and that alone Is what mado his sales so
successful whenever he sells. The Canada
horses have a world wide reputation for
their strength and working qualities, as
the are long living and healthy horses.
Among the string will be some fast ones
with records below 2.30. If you want a
horse of any description wait for the
Cunada horses.
