Bessie A. Dudenhausen to serve papers in an action to recover alimony, on her husband, Frank J. Dudenhausen, who is now confined in the Penitentiary. In the appll- catlorr it was alleged that Dudenhausen's term had expired, that he was about to be- released, and that he intended to leave the country. The troubles of the Dudenhausens have been of many years' standing, and have been full of sensational incidents.

They began with the wife's suit for separation in May, 1892. She alleged that her husband had been cruel and neglectful of her. The defense interposed was the sensation of the courts at the time. Mr. Dudenhausen alleged that the woman was not nor never had been his wife, but was simply Miss Bessie Turner.

She Introduced evidence to show that they had been married on Feb. 12, 1889. by the Rev. Mr. Rice, in Jamaica, L.

I. She was successful in the suit and awarded alimony. As a result of the trial her counsel brought the claim of husband before the Grand Jury about a year later, and he was indicted for perjury on June SO. 1S93. He was afterwards arraigned before Judge Moore, in the Court of Sessions, pleaded not guilty, and placed under heavy bonds.

The case drifted along for soma time, and when it was called for trial Dudenhausen was found to have gone away, and his bond? was declared forfeited. Early in 1895 Dudenhausen was located, arrested, and brought back to answer the indictment. His trial was one of the most sensational of the year, and lasted for five days. He was convicted, with a strong recommendation for mercy. He was sentenced to year's imprisonment in the Penitentiary.

During ail this time Mrs. Dudenhausen had not received her alimony, and the present, suit is to recover all the back payments. The amount has increased until it ts over CASH cr. DIT (6wPERTIfWAIT(a Flatbush Ave. Fulton ScNevins 51s.

DeSilver, from the committee on the Gen. Woodward memorial meeting, reported that Thursday evening. May 7, had been selected as the date of the meeting; MRS. SENNETT'S ESTATE, A STRUGGLE ENDS IN HER SON'S APPOINTMENT TO MANAGE IT. A lengthy litigation was terminated yesterday afternoon in the Supreme Court before Justice Kellogg, by the verdict of a jury which declared Mrs.

Phoebe A. Sennett, who is 81 years of age, to be incompetent to care for herself for her property. The proceedings were taken by Susan D. Brightson, a daughter of the old woman, and her husband, George E. Brightson.

The Brigbtsons live at asi rresiaeni street, Mrs. Sennett lived with them for some time, but last December she went to her son, Joseph, who lives at 391 Van Buren street, and she has been there ever since. until recenny jur. xsrigni-son had a power of attorney from his mother-in-law, but a short time ago ah-, other son, Leonard, obtained a similar document. It was that caused Mrs.

Brightson to begin the proceedings. She and her husband alleged that Leonard flaunted tne power oi attorney in front of the other members of the family-, and' said that he would manage the property to suit himself. Mr. Brightson had rmf nf the banbooks belonging to the estate of the old woman, and Leonard brought him up in a police court in an attempt to get possession of them He failed in each case, however. The Brightsons allege that he is not a fit person to have charge of the estate.

In iesent case. Justice Kellogg Intimated that if the jury found her incompetent he would appoint Leonard as committee of her person and estate. With this understanding, np opposition was made to the proceedings to declare the old lady incompetent, ana me jury so louna. rnunscl for Mrs. Brightson said that there were many reasons why the appoint ment of Leonard would oe aistasteiui to the petitioners.

He asked Justice Kellogg to appoint a trust company. The Justice said, however, that he did not be lieve in taking the property out oi tne control ot the family, and nothing had been shown as to the impropriety of the Hnnointment of Leonard as guardian. Mrs. Sennet's property is valued at $33,000. HALF DAY CLASSES TOO.

MtTST RECEIVE INSTRUCTION UNDER THE TEMPERANCE LAW. A number of principals of the schools holding half-da" S' saions have asked Superintendent of Public Inrtruction Maxwell whether or not it was obligatory upon them to see that all the scholars were Instructed in the evils of alcoholic drinks and stimulants.

I have, therefore, told the principals having half-day classes under their charge to see that at least fifteen minute four times a we lessons be given the POLICE INVESTIGATING.
