Married Her Present Husband Before She Took Pains to Discover Eate of Her First. Justice Russell in the New York Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the action, for a separation brought by Mrs. Sarah M. Alix anian against her husband, Mihran H. Alix anian, on the ground that he does not believe her marriage with the defendant was entered into in good faith, as she was not aware that her previous husband, Arthur Prevot, was dead when she married Alixanian.

Mrs. Alixanian married Prevot on December 24, 18S7, and left him in July, 188S, on account of his ill treatment, and had him convicted and sent to the penitentiary for six months for trying to choke her. She married Alixanian in 18D4, when she was 43 years old and he had just turned 23. They separated in 1S07, when she brought her suit. He defended It on the ground that.

Prevot was when he married her, and that therefore their marriage was illegal. She claimed that after Prevot went to jail lo i i. i. she never saw him again, and that after wait lng six years without hearing from him she supposed him dead. Justice Russell says her testimony on this l.umi.

is iiui eiiLireiy sausmcLury, aim lOUl she also stated that some woman claiming to be Prevot wife called on her, but sne made wneiner tins statement was true or not. She should have made a dili gent search. Justice Russell says, for Prevot before marrying again. "While she may have exemption from marital subservience on ac couni ui uruta, conauct. Justice Kussen says.

she must exercise proper diligence to entirely free herself from the yoke to avoid. uj a iiir oc let or ceatn, too naving ot two husbands living, from none of whom she was divorced." In Justice Russell's opinion Prevot was known by his wife to be living, and her second marriage was illegal. SUPPLIES FOR DEWEY'S MEN Are Sent to Manila via San Francisco or From Here in Special Vessels. The Department of Supplies and Accounts at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is probably the busiest department in the yard. This is especially the case since the close of the Spanish American war.

All the supplies for the Navy are secured and sent away from the Brooklyn yard. All the supplies for Manila are transmitted through this yard and the shipments to the East have been unusually heavy. Shipments are made to the Asiatic squadron regularly every month and all these supplies go across the United States to San Francisco, where government transports carry them to Manila. When a ship leaves for Manila from the Atlantic coast, of course, the department takes advantage of this and loads that vessel with supplies. The Asiatic squadron has drawn heavily on the Navy storehouses for canned goods and light clothing.

It re quires about a month for the supplies to roach Manila and on that account a larger quantity is kept on hand by the fleet in the Tar off Eastern waters. The blue jackets of the Asiatic fleet consume enormous quantities of tobacco and seem to thrive on it. The expense of sending supplies is very heavy, but the men of the fleet are well carc for. They have everything that the men with the North Atlantic squadron receive. THE LEAKY DRY DOCK.

Water Freely Admitted by the Opening Made Recently Danger From the Storm. Timber dry dock No. 2 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard has been kept clear of water since one side caved in recently.

The heavy rain of last night caused much anxiety to the officials. Considerable additional earth was carried Into the dock and an opening made at the right side admitted the water freely. Dry dock So. 3 was almost filled with water, but no perceptible damage was done there.

Shore drv dock No. 1 remained as firm as ever. CHILDREN DESERTED ON PIER.

I Two Men Attempt to Leap From the Big Span Within a Few Hours of Each Other. BOTH ARE NOW IN JAIL One of Them Will Not Reveal His Identity The Other.

Is George W. Dawson of Brooklyn. About 9 o'clock last night a well dressed man about 24 years of age, attempted to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge, and caused much excitement among the hundreds of people who were crossing at the time. He was finally arrested by the bridge officers on the Brooklyn side. The prisoner deelineil to give his name, address or any particulars concerning him self.

He was locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct. The man had evidently been drinking, but behaved well enough when he boarded a trol ley car on the Manhattan side of the bridge bound for this borough. When the car neared Brooklyn he jumped off and ran toward the railing at the side of the bridge. The conductor, suspecting his purpose, caught him in time to prevent his vaulting over. Ho was put on the car and held there until this side of the bridge was reached.

The car had hardly made the turn to enter Fulton street when the man again jumped off and ran back to the bridge promenade and out toward the center of the structure, where he climbed over to the north roadway and again endeavored to mount the railings. He was again caught, but by an officer this time, and was locked up. All he would tell the officers wa.3 that he was unmarried, out of work, homeless and wished to be left alone. This was the second attempt made yesterday to jump off the bridge. Early in the afternoon George W.

Dawson, 25 years old, of 556 McDonough street, made an unsuccessful attempt. He was arrested in the act of climbing up the stringpiece that runs from the bridge promenade to the roadway. The man, after being arrested, talked pleasantly with the policeman, but would not say anything about his reason for trying to leap from the bridge. When an Eagle reporter asked him why he wanted to jump the prisoner answered: "Just for fun." Dawson's brother was sent for and notified of the arrest. The brother said that George Dawson was inuana and not responsible for his acjs.

The prisoner was locked up. TALKED OVER DEWEY PLANS. State Legislative Committee With Eoosevelt at Oyster Bay.

MRS. FLAGLER'S INSANITY. Standard Oil Millionaire's Wife Does Not Recognize Him Appointed Committee for Her Person and Estate. Justice Fitzgerald, in the Supreme Court, yesterday confirmed the report of the commission appointed to inquire with a sheriff's jury into the mental condition ot Mrs. Ida A.

for the summer. He has made his home in this city since his wife's illness, at the Langham, 655 Fifth avenue. Dr. Macdonald testified before the sheriff's jury that Mrs. Flagler was suffering from chronic delusional insanity and imagined that she was persecuted.

Another delusion under which she labored was that she was the Princess Ida Van Shotten Teck, and that she bore evidence of royal birth on her arm. She aISO thought sne was never married to Mr. Flagler, that she was divorced from him two years ago. that he was dead and that efforts were being made to poison her. She also imagined that the Czar of Russia was going to marry her.

She further believed that it was her brother, Charles Francis Adam Shords, a Boston merchant, whom she thought was a Supreme Court judge, who had secured her divorce from her husband. Mrs. Flagler was committed to the sanitarium in March, 1897, on an order signed by Justice Gildersleeve, upon certificates of Drs. Shelton and Frederick Peterson, "who declared her to be incurably insane. She had been in a sanitarium at Pleasantville for several years before her commitment to Dr.

Macdonald's institution. She was married to Mr. Flagler on July 5, 1883, and has been an invalid for several years. She has no children. Her father was an Episcopal clergyman in Philadelphia, who died in 1S73.

HORSE AND CARRIAGE GONE. Spencer, Who Was in the Habit of Taking His Women Friends Driving, Also Missing.

Frederick Martin, a liveryman of 399 and 401 Carlton avenue, has reported to the police the theft of a horse and carriage under somewhat strange circumstances. Two weeks ago yesterday a man who was introduced to his as A. C. Spencer by one of his regular patrons, Mrs.John Vooseburgh, a well to do woman of 501 Clinton avenue. Mr.

Martin understood that Spencer was a personal friend, hut has since learned that the thief deceived Mr3. Vcotsburgh also by representing that he was a friend of relatives of hers in the South. He was tail, dark and handsome and after a while was invited to go carriage riding with her. A week after his original excursion le came to the stable and said he wanted the same rig with which to take Mi ss Nellie carriage riding. Martin without hesitation turned out the rig to him.

Spencer said that he would not be back until late, as he and Miss Vousburgh were to take a trip out on Long Island to visit some of her friends. When, however, Martin arrived at his stable the next morning he found his rig still missing. The carriage belonged to the Voosburghs and was kept at Martin's stables. Inquiry at Spencer's boarding place, 1,560 Pacific street, developed the fact that Spencer had been somewhat lavish in his attentions to young women. Instead of having taken Miss Voosburg out riding he had taken the daughter of his landlady.

Miss Howard. It was learned that Spencer and Miss Howard returned quite late on Saturday evening and that Spencer had left the horse and carriage at a nearby stable. He arose before any of the fatally next morning and has not been seen since. The police, who have made a considerable siearch in vain, and Mr. believe the fellow went out on Long Island or to New Jersey and sold the rig.

They learned that he pawned his coat in East New York to get money with which to pay for the keeping of the horse over night, and that is about all. Spencer represented himself as having been a traveling salesman and stated that he was out of a position He told the people at his bearding house that he had obtained a position in the Bergen street power house as an electrician. This proved untrue. WILL SUE THE POOL SELLERS. Backer of Surpol in the 2:14 Trot at Columbus Alleges a Jobbed Race.

Woman Found Unconscious in the St. Cloud Dies Later in Bellevue. MAN IN CASE DISAPPEARED. The Victim Registered as Mrs. Frederick Walch of Boston Police Looking for Her Companion.

The Manhattan police have a new poison mystery on their hands demanding solution, arising out of the death, in Bellevue Hospital yesterday afternoon, of a woman who registered at the St. Cloud Hotel on Friday as Mrs. Frederick Welch of Boston. The woman appeared first at the hotel shortly after noon on Friday, accompanied by a man. They engaged a room, and went out later.

The man disappeared early yesterday morning before it was discovered that any thing was wrong. At 10:30 o'clock the woman was found In her room unconscious, with two papers which contained headache powders beside her. The hotel physician and another were at once called in, but failed to restors her, and an ambulance was called and she was removed to Bellevue, where she died at 2:25 o'clock, never leaving her comatose condition. The body was removed to the Morgue and the police sot out on a search to ascertain the Jacts. The first thing done was to try to trace the man who was with her Friday.

Manager Barry of the hotel said there was nothing to conceal about the woman. It is not known whether the man who registered as Frederick Welch left the hotel for good at 5:30 o'clock or not, but that was the last seen of him by the hotel people. Detective Curry is still making an investigation, and it is supposed that he is looking for Welch. The headache powders, the papers containing which were found on the table in the room, were purchased from the drug store of E. D.

Passon which is diagonally across from the hotel, at the southwest corner of Broadway and Forty first street, in 'the store there is displayed conspicuously on a large placard the following: "Direction One powder dry on the tongue with a swallow of water. May be repeated in an hour. A safe and reliable cure for headache, neuralgia, sciatica, nervousness, etc. "Not to be taken with stimulants." The last line was printed in large type. The druggist clerk at first refused to discuss the matter, but Mr.

Paxson, the proprietor, talked very freely. They contained, he said, acetanilid and one grain of caffeine. "You could give a handful of this to a person and it Would not hurt thenf. The doctors prescribe at least forty grains at times, when large doses are required. The reason why the caution is given relative to the stimulants is that whisky and other stimulants tend to excite the heart's action, while the powders are sedatives.

The stimulants would naturally neutralize the action of the powders. That is all. It is ridiculous to think that this woman could be poisoned by these powders. They do not act on the heart at all and a person with a very weak heart could take them with impunity. It is my opinion that the woman did not take the powders, but was given knock out drops." Mr.

Paxson stated that he did not remember sellins any of the powders to a man or woman last night. A man whom he knew bought some ot the powuers yesterday at neon, nut no was eoinir out of mvtn Mr Paxson said he received a telephone from the doctors at Bellevue. settins forth that they did not know what caused the woman's death, hut had sent the body to the Morgue to have that determined by an autopsy. A further investigation at the hotel showed that the woman hud uccupitd the room alone at night. At Bellevue Hospital it was stated that the doctors had determined not to make any diagnosis, but to send the body to the Morgue and have the Coroner determine by Detect ne Curry stated that he had a talk!

Among the garments urn by the woman was a dark cloth skirl. lijjht pink shirt waist, patent leather shoes, polkadot stockings and a straw h. it. Captain Price came up to take charge of the esse late in the afternoon. He examined the clothing and s.iid that they were well worn, the skirt beinrj frayed at the bottom.

He said the hat looked like a "Broadway Hat." The manag. of the hotel s.iid thai the woman iriprcssi.d the fmphiyis i e. and was very quiet. Captain Price said that si me of the employes of the hotel said that eich was weil known in the hotel. Manager.

Barry denied this. He said he was a stranger and looked like an Englishman. After a long talk with the druggist, Paxon, Captain Price elicited the fact that the man he sold the powder to yesterday was unknown to him. He first thought when talking of the matter that he him but on ction he found he did not know him. The man looked to him like a traveling man.

The description that Paxson gave to Captain Price tallies exactly with the description the hotel people give of the man who accompanied the woman to the hotel and signed as Frederick Welch and wife. The druggist said that he sold three powders. Only t.vo of the powders were found. The third must have been taken aiway by the man. Detectives Curry and Tompkins visited the Morgue to see if they know the woman, hut they could not recognize her.

Captain Price said he thought the woman took too much of the powders and he has no faith in any other Ujeory for thi' death. The following is the statement from Dr. waugn, wno nas cnarge or tne want in wnicn the woman died, sen; with the body to the!

FESTAL PROCESSIONS ROUTED. Police Reserves Turned Out and Arrested Leaders in the Miniature Blot. A miniature riot was precipitated yesterday afternoon at the corner of Union avenue and North Eighth street, incidental to the celebration of the feast of St. Marco, which day is honored yearly by the Italian residents of the neighborhood. How the row started is not easy to explain, for the policemen who intervened, not knowing Italian, could not get at the root of the trouble.

They quelled it in a successful manner, however, after lodging three of the most assertive la the crowd in the Bedford avenue police station on a charge of disorderly conduct. Preparations have been made for over three weeks back among many Italians of the Eastern District for the celebration of the feast of St. Marco. It was planned to be held in the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, at the corner named. It is an old established Italian Roman Catholic church.

The Rev. P. Saponara is at present pastor. Among the parishioners and friends the day was celebrated by various societies within 1 and witnout the church by parading in regalia. Some of the societies had bands of music ahead of them.

It had been announced that the church would be the converging point at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and thither all the societies wended their way. The various processions were orderly and the regular police permits had been granted for the use of the streets. At the door of the church, however, a row started. Although 2 o'clock had been announced as the hour of opening, admittance was not at once granted to the societies. organizations, strong in membership and each headed by a band, arrived at the church simultaneously and when the doors were opened the leaders of both, it appears, attempted to admit their followers simultane ously.

There was strenuous objection on both bandsmen in the leao assumed tne aggressive and several of their' instruments were destroyed. Officer Thomas Young of the Bed ford avenue station, who was on the post, tried to quiet the disputants.

The long looked for game of base ball between the Borough Park Field Club and the St. Jameo Club of' Long Island was postponed yesterday at Borough Park on account of rain and two thousand people as well as the players themselves were greatly disappointed. Four innings were played, however, before the severe storm broke, the icore standing 5 to 1 in favor of the home team. It is said the match will be played later. The game itself had been much advertised and ex William H.

Reynolds had made great preparations toward having a great day. The St. James team, composed of actors. ai rived at the club house at 11 o'clock yesterday "morning and after an inspection of the hig house they adjourned to the dining room where dinner was served. At 3 o'clock the diamr.nd wa crowded and when Umpire Bob Kitzsimir.ons called play it was estiuialed that fully two thousand people were gathered on the grounds.

The visitors were headed by Willie Collier, who occupied the box, and the way he tossed ball to the plate indicated that the home team woud be annihilated. The comedian's assistants included Jerome Sykes. who guarded the initial bag; Mike Halkert, second base; John "Wilson, third base; Philip McFarland, short stop; Torn Garrick, right field; Charlie Bigelow, centvr field; Harry Gordon, left field, and Harry Hall, catcher. Collier's shoots were exceeding ly difficult to solve and the game was begin ning to get interesting, when the shower I broke over the grounds. Senator Reynolds, who played first base for the Borough Park team, had provided for a rain, however, and I the crowd who scurried toward the club I house were entertained during the rest of the evening.

The expected tilt between the umpire and the visiting team occurred in the first inning, when the official called Jerome Sykes out on second base when he was safe, apparently, by several yards. Sykes kicked, but one look from Fitzsininious soon quieted matters. Willie Collier was never more pleased in his life than ne was in the second inning, when he struck out the good natured Senator, and the crowd of rooters that accompanied the team from St. James shouted themselves hoarse. Included In the list of visitors were noticed Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Burke. Richard Mullen, Frank Slocum, John Slocum, John Hogarty. Miss Helen Collier, Mr. and Mrs.

Dob Daily, Miss Jessie Woods. Mrs. Scott. William Smythe. Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas Evans, Joseph Buckley, William Hogan, Mrs. William Collier, the Misses Allen, Otto Huber, Mr. and Mrs. Dickson.
