Agnow's Allegations Against Her Husband. SHE SUES I0R A DIV0KCE Strmitce Chapter of Life Kccltcrt In the Petition Struggle for the Pok hcnnIoii of u Son Some of the-Sei-iieH I.iUil In Ireland 1'lnintllT the Widow of Dr. A. G. Lord. Mrs. Mary O. Agnew filed proceedings tor divorce yesterday against her hus band, Samuel" H. Agnew, to whom she was married over fourteen years ago in her father's residence, at Bowling Green, Va. The story of Mrs. Agnew's troubles a3 told in her bill of complaint, reads mare like a chapter from a novel than a cita ticn of happenings in every-day life. Her married life has been ful of exciting in cidents, which have taken place on two continents and upon the ocean, and cul minated a few days ago in this city in a street tceue, which refaiilted in the ar rest of her husband for assaulting her and attempting to take from her by iorce her only child, a boy, about thir teen years of age. His case is still pend ing in the Police Court, the trial being set for September 21. In the meantime, Agnew is at large on $3,000 bond. Her Trip to Ireland. Mrs. Agnew states in her affidavit that she is the daughter of J. S. Davles, of Virginia, and at the time of her mariiage to her present husband was the widow of Dr. A. G. Lord; that soon after she married Agnew they both went to Ire land to live with his parents and remain ed there until his father's home was de stroyed by fire. At his suggestion she returned to Amer ica and went to live with her parents again. In 1SS7 she received a letter fiom her husband, who was still in Ireland, stating that he was in great trouble and disgiaccd forever. Upon learning this she immediately started for Belfast, Ire land, where her husband was at that time. While making the trip across the ocean a child was born to her, which died be fore the journey was endea. on arriving In Belfast hhe managed to extricate her husband from his troubles and soon after returned to this country. Her husband remained, saying that he had no inten tion of coming back to the United States. The Iluslmiiil Aiie:ii'N. Soon after her arrival in Virginia, however, her husband made his appear ance at Bowling Green, and Mrs. Agnew alleges that he kidnaped her son and took him to New York, where he kept him hidden from her for a long time. In the meantime she had instituted pro ceedings for divorce, and her husband proposed to her that if she would with draw the suit he would return to her the boy. She refused, she says, and through the aid of detectives got the child back. Her husband then returned to Ireland and the plaintiff says sho never saw or heard from him again until one day in September, 1SSG, she met him on the street In this city. A partial reconcilia tion was effected, Mr. Agnew says, on the Condition that her husband would reform and treat her as a wife should be treated. They set up a residence at No. 1313 Q Street, and lived there until a few days ago, when through fear the petitioner avers she had to leave him. Attempt nt 'Itldiiiipiiijc. When she got possession of her son in New York, for fear that her husband would again kidnap him. she sent him to her father at Bowling Green. Having been told, however, that his presence would be necessary' In the divorce pro ceedings, she sent for him to come to Washington. Her husband learned of her intention, and was watching for the boy, and, know ing this, Mrs. Agnew says she went to Alexandria to meet her boy and accom panied him to this city. They were met at the depot, she says, by her husband, who tried to take the child from her by force. She called an officer to her as-dsta-nce and caused her husband to be ai rested, as already stated. Mrs. Agnew has for a number of years been employed in the Pension and Census offices. Mr. Agnew's name appears in the city directory as an advance agent, pre sumably in the-theatrical business. CITY BREVITIES.

(From the Detroit Free Tress.) It was during the lteenei.' parade on Sundaj The German citizen and his wife and daughter stood in the crowd near the corner of "Woodward and Adams .Ucnucs. Beside them, on crutches, balanced a grizzly old chap who wore the badge nf the G. A. II. on his breast. Patiently the German and his family waited. The old lady looked down the street. "Der dev gomes, jet," she said. "Is itf" asked the o man. "Sliure," corroborated tie daughter. Then as the bojs marched before them the old lady said, "I'll pet dej's gladder as dey vas vhen dej- vent avaj ain'd it." "Oh, I don't know," put in the veteran of the civil war. "They ain't had sech a bad time. 1 wuz in seventeen battles." The old German lady turned to her. husband and said, "Oh, I guess dej vas a vhar peforc vee gomes ofer, jet, don't it?"

S.jMoNAIRY DEAD. lie Wan n Famoim Character of the 'nvnl AjlminiHtrittlan. Dr. W. S. McNairy, one of the oldest attaches of tho :Naviy Department, and prominent In Washington affairs for nearly half a century, died shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning in his apart ments in tho Ebbitt House, where he has resided since hlaiarrival in Washington in 1E52. JHo was nighty-one years of age and for some time, past had suffered with weakness incident to his advanced years. Hla remains will be interred In Oak Hill Cemetery this afternoon at 5 o'clock, tho services being in charge of the Hope Lodge of Masons, with which he had been prominently connected for a number of years. There arc perhaps few men In Wash ington who are better known than was Dr. McNairy. He was a member of ono of the oldest and best families of Tennessee, and always bore himself with the courtly gallantry characteristic of the old school. In naval circles he was very popular, and numbered among his friends nearly all of the higher officers of the army and navy who acquired prominence during the Civil War, besides many of those who have since achieved distinction. In the department, where he has been so long, Ills unique personality Is almost insep arably linked with the conduct of that branch of the government in the minds of the younger employes. Dr. McNairy was born In Nashville, and received his early education there. After reaching his majority he studied medicine in Philadelphia, graduating from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and practiced medicine until 1S52, when he received an appointment In the Navy Department and came to Washington. Upon his arrival here he took apart ments at the Ebbitt House, and his resi dence there antedates the memory of the oldest employe of that hotel. Until re cently his health had been unusually good, but advancing years brought their attendant weakness, and recently he had complained frequently. He was last seen at his office on Mon day and he was then suffering from ver tigo and pains in his head. Wednesday his condition became alarming and Dr. Nash, a naval surgeon, who had pre viously attended him, was called in. His niece and nearest relative, Mrs. Irene A. Evans, of Nashville, was telegraphed for and reached his bedside Thursday. Tho deceased had two brothers, both of whom achieved distinction in the South. One was prominent in Confed erate circles during the Civil War, through which he served, and the other was a well-known physician of Nash ville. Both of them have been dead sev eral years. He has relatives in New Or leans and other cities in the south, who survive him. THE K. OP K. CONTROVERSY. All .Member of Organized Labor Aivult-the Itesult. 'The result of the action of the execu tive board of the order of Knights of Labor, expelling .A. 7l. Lawson, master workmen of District Assembly. No. C6, and several other prominent members, will be watched closely, not only by the members of tho order here and elsewhere, but also by the 'members of organized labor generally. "What the groundsr for expulsion were no one outside of the executive board knows; at least, they have not been di vulged. The action of the' board, how ever, would imply that. the expelled men must have been charged with attempting to disrupt an assembly, for under the constitution of the Order It is for this cause alone that a member can be turned out of the order without trial, as It is alleged Is the case in the present in stance. Only ComiilicnteM Mutter. No matter what may be assigned as the immediate cause, it can be traced to the long standing strained relations which have existed between the District Assem bly No. 6C and the general officers of the order, especially the general secretary treasurer, John W. Hayes. For years the local district assembly has been opposed to the methods of Hayes In administering the affairs of the order, alleging that he haB used the order foi the promotion of his own personal Inter ests. The recent action of tho executive board, however, only tends to complicate the existing condition oS affairs. Some timu ago when General Master Workman Hicks Issued an order revoking the char ter of Assembly No. C5 for violating the lawa of the order in issuing an appeal for funds without tho approval and contrary to tho command of tho general executive board the members of the assembly re fused to recognize, tha mandate on the ground that their charter could not be re voked without charges having been pre ferred and the assembly given a fair and impaitial trial. Is It Contempt f -This course not having been pursued, tho local knights claimed that Master Workman Hicks exceeded hla authority. Master Workman Lawson and tho other members of tho assembly on this ground applied to the courts for an injunction to restrain the general officers of the ordor from further interference with their ac tions as a legally organized body under the laws of the order. A temporary restraining order was granted by Justice Cole, and the matter is to come up for final hearing on Sep tember 13. The question which now presents Itself is the restraining order being in full force does the action of the executive board, by the expulsion of the members referred to, put it in con tempt? A prominent member of the lo cal bar was asked his opinion of the mat ter yesterday and he stated that he did not think this act of the executive board could be considered as in contempt of the restraining order. VHowever this may be, there Is no doubt xlhat the recent action of the board will iday a prominent part in the matter of inaklng the temporary restraining order permanent. BICHEY STILL BUSSING. .Inmcs Creels Cniial Will lie DrnKwreu for Ilttf Hotly. The police are still 'searching vainly for some trace of Thomas Richey, the mer chant of Woodstock, Ta., who, after reg istering from NewfYork City at the How ard House, over aweek ago, disappeared completely. Yesterday an effort was made to secure permission to have the James Creek canal dragged in the hope of finding some clew to his disappearance, and this will probably be done today or Monday. In the meantime, the brothers of tho deceased, Dr. S. O. Richey, of this city, and J. S. Richey, of New York, have ad vertised a reward of $100 for information which will lead to the recovery of the missing man, if alive, or information as hisdeathi Areward ?f $25 is also oTfered for the Tecovery of the steamer trunk belonging to him, which disap peared so mysteriously from the Sixth Street depot, within seventy minutes attcr Richey was last seen in the Howard House.
