CAREER OF A MAN WITH A MISSION Xlrltlili Enlttlrr In tlio Soudan , Mnrrle * In l , Turin 1'rrnclirr In America anil SccUn a DivorceIn Nehrnika , Shoemakers' children proverbially go bare footed , an-l the reformer's own domain Is frequently the last place reached by reform. About the 1st of August last the advent ot a disciple of Dr. Parhhurst was announced by Omaha dallies "R v. " Alexander F. Irvine came to Omaha with general letters of Introduction from several prominent church workers In New York. He was received by local ministers cautiously , but without ques tion of his recommendations or sincerity. He stated that he had been doing mission work In New York In connection with Or. Park- hurst and that he had been Identified with the I'arkhurst political movement , but that bo had outgrown the field for work In that city. Ho yearned for opportunities to ex tend his activities and he thought the re demption of Omaha Just the task ho was fitted to undertake. RATHER FLEXIBLE CONVICTIONS. Mr. Irvine did t.ot profess to be a man of very strong denominational convictions. Although ho appeared before the public as "Rev. " Alexander Irvine aud posed as uch In his addresses before the Municipal league and other bodies , he confessed to his more intimate associates that he had never been ordained to the ministry. In New York he had become a member of the Presbyterian church because the mission work for which ho was employed In the Church of Sea and Land was conducted under Presbyterian aus pices. When he reached Omaha ho made , application to the president of the local Bap tist board for rccci'Usn Into that denomina tion , with a view to ordination , and mem bers of the board were notified of his re quest. In the meanwhile , however , he suc ceeded In securing employment from the Congregational Extension society to take charge of the Chapel of the Carpenter on Toppleton avenue and the river bottoms. With a prospect of revenue from Congregational nources of courte he would not hesitate ou qiiCHtluns ot doctrine. So he Joined the Congregational church. His ambition was- iitlll to become lawfully entitled to the use ot the prefix "Rev. " Soinn of the Influential people of the church were finally led to establish the Church of the Pilgrim for him , and he secured the crowning glory of ordination as a minister of the Congregational church on the 7th day ot February of this year. OUT AS A WITNESS. Eager to Introduce Parkhurst methods Into Omaha , Mr. Irvine appeared voluntarily as a witness before the grand Jury that was recently called by the district court to In vestigate the existence of corruption among public officers. Ho appeared again before the Board ot Fire and Pollc ? Commissioners ft few weeks later as a voluntary accuser of the entire police department and related his experience in patrollng the burnt dis trict In the guise of a uewspapcr reporter. So far as can be ascertained Mr. Irvine failed to produce anything tangible to sus tain his accusations on a legal basis bcfors cither body. PETITIONS STEALTHILY FOR DIVORCE. On February 13 Alexander F. Irvine filed n petition In the district court for divorce from Nelllo ' Irvine , his wife , non-resident de fendant. As the law of Nebraska requires the plaintiff In such a case to have been alx months a resident of the district In which ho sues. It will ba seen that the Omaha Parkhurst did not let any unnec essary tlmo pass before Initiating these pro ceedings. In his petition Irvine charges tla defendant not only with Infidelity , but also with extreme cruelty and habitual drunk enness for two years last past. The notice to the non-resident defendant was published In an obscure weekly paper with the evi dent purpose of preventing the party In terested In the case from seeing It. April 9 was the time at which answer to Irvine's pHltion should be filed , and the notice to Mrs. Irvine further stated "that on the 16th day of April , 1895 , between the hours of 10 a. in. and G p. m. . before competent authority at the town hall In the city of Stamford , county of Tfalrfleld , and state of Connecticut , the plaintiff above named would take the deposition of Andrew Lowry and other sun dry witnesses In this action. " The manner In which these proceedings were Instituted savored strongly of an at tempt to take snap judgment upon a defense less woman. An Inquiry addressed to the mayor of Stamford , Conn. , brought forth this vigorous reply : THE MAYOR'S LETTER. OFFICE OF Tlin MA YOU. STAMFORD Conn. March W. 1S03.-I have had a thor ough Investigation made as to the matter. The net result Is that no one can be found who over heard of Rev. Alexander F. Irvine or 6t Nelllo Irvine , and that there is no such person as Andrew Lowry livingIn I will ndd Hint the Idea ot a henrlne on such a mutter In the town halfof Stamford la simply absurd. The a , hall Is kept locked except when used for public purposes flours very truly. CHARLES H. LKKDS. Mayor. WIFE A HARD WORKING SERVANT. This was something of a revelation. But It Is no more so than the story given by Nellie Irvine to a representative of The Bee , who called upon her a few days ago. Mrs. Irvlno Is serving as mald-of-all-work In the household of Mrs. Cheney , 275 West I3nd avenue. New York City. She Is a rather comely llttla woman of about 30 , of the English rustic typo of beauty , with a slight Indifference us to the pronunciation of her Jl's. In spite of the fact that she appeared In a blue gingham dress , with a big apron , and her sleeves rolled up , 11 did not take a great deal of Imagination to realize that ten years ago she was Just the kind of English lassie to capture the heart of a Tommy Atkins , returning from a campaign In the Soudan. "Well , that's Just like the man , " the said with an Indignant look , after she had read over the charges of her husband which were handed her. "There's not a word of truth In II. He simply wants to get a divorce and he don't care how he goti It , as long an he gets it. That Is the reason he went to Omaha. He found t.iat ho could not got divorce In New York , so he went there and ho told me If he could not get one In Omaha he would go somewhere else where ho could. " MRS. IRVINE'S STORY. Then she told her story In a rather dis connected way. She was married to Irvine at Gasport. Eng. , In 18SG. When she met him ho was a private In the Royal Marine Light Infantry and had served In the Sou danese campaign with General Gordon. So far as she knew ho had served well , and he had two medals as a recognition of his services. They had Hvo children in all. two of whom arc dead. All went well < * enough until he obtained a leave of absence to visit his old home In Ireland. The next thing she knew , about tn-o months later , she got a letter from him , saying that he was on the way to Australia. He and a fellow private. Best , who Is brought up at , a co-respondent In the case , left the English army and went to America. He completely left her also , and left her with her children on her hands to chltt for herself as best she could. She went back to her parents' house and lived with them for almost twelve months. Then she found out that Irvine was In America , and , having prefixed a "revorend" to his name , was doing mission ary work In the slums Mrs. Irvlno followed - - lowed him to New York and they lived first on Broomo street , then on Second avenue and then on Pike street. In tbe meanwhile Irvlno had become one 'of Dr. Parkhumt's satellite * and took charge of the Church of Sea and Land , since abandoned , But he was a fellow with an ambition to sain fame and get his name In the papers. He was getting In with some of the swell charity workers ot the metropolis , and ho began to think that he wai a person of tome Impor tance. NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH FOR HIM. Ho told his wife moro than once It he wasn't saddled vlth her on his hand * be could marry plenty ot "educated ladles. " "i wasn't educated enough tor him , " Mrs. E.V Irvine aJJcJ ircaatca1ly ! , "but I wa good enough tor Mm when ho married me. " Whenever the asked ( or money to make their home half-way comfortable lie refuasJ , al though bo was quite willing to spend It on some- unregenerate pauper , and though he could tell other people how to live he was unwilling to show them how to live by his own example. At last , one day , he told her that ho w&uM not live -with her any longer anil that he \\st Kolng to net a divorce ( ram her. Ho said ho would give her (100 It she would leave peaceably anil pay her enoufih to live on. He give her $40 and paid her $ G a week toward her support for Just four weeks , and outside ot that she had not had a cent from him , Since that time she has been up- portlns herself by working out as a servant. She has been nt 2C3 Second avenue , 136 Halt Forty-eighth street , and Is now at 275 West Und avenue. Then he got Lawyer Frank Moss of Lexow committed fame to file a bill of divorce. The New York law makes adultery the only ground for divorce and It was necessary to trump up some charRO. So ho got Hugh J. Best , the man who had left the English army with him. to appeir aa co-reipondent. Ho thought that MM. Irvine would not appear to refute the chnrnes and the divorce would bs granted to him by default on her part. When they found that she was going to appear against I Im. his lawyer saw tliat Irvine had no case and the suit was dropped. Hut this treatment of his family got abroad and made his work as a pastor and mission ary Ineffective , and so hi1 selected Omaha as a good field for his labors and a place remote en.itiqh to obtain his divorce. Hla children lie claims to have scut home to bis people In Ireland , but It Is said that they are now In Doston. ACCUSES ins nnsT FRIENDS. " 1 don't care now If he does get hh divorce. " Mrs. Irvine continued , "I'll be glad to get rid of him entirely. Uut I do think he ought to put tha children somewhere , where I can see them now and then. It's pretty hard for a mother to have her children taken away from her. I know I can't have them with me. I am working Just as hard as I can to keep myielf and to be decent , and I could not take care of them and work out. And do you think that I look like a person who could pound a man who served eight yonrs In the English army and went through the war In the Soudan with Gordon ? It don't seem very grateful , either , that he should accuse his best friends. He says I have been living wl\h \ Newberry O'Conncll. The O'Con nslla practically kept him allvo when he first came to New York , and he would have been hungry many a time If 1L had not been for them. I can glvo you the addresses of the people with whom I have been , since I left him , and they will all tell you that I have dona nothing wrong. Lawrence was another friend of the family , and Hugh nest was the man who left the army , and all his charges ore absolutely false. " Mrs. Cheney , at whose house Mrs. Irvine la working , says that she has never found anything to criticise In her conduct , and the other pe'oplo with whom she has worked all say that her behavior has been unim peachable. LAWYERS SUBSTANTIATE THE STATE MENT. The lawyers In the case In New York tell substantially ono story , although with some variations. Joel M. Marx , 1258 Broadway , who was Mrs. Irvine's attorney , when called on by the representative of The Ilee for Informa tion as to the reason % vhy Irvine abandoned his suit in New York and went to Omaha , sald : "Tho simple reason was that he had no chance of getting his divorce whna ho found Mrs. Irvine was going to oppose his suit and bring In witnesses to refute his testimony. The whole thing was rotten from the beginning. "The way I became connected with the suit was this. Mrs. Irvine , who knew abso lutely nothing about laws , courts or their procedure , appeared without any attorney , and Judge McAdam sent her to me. I tool * up her case merely as a matter of charity. There was nothing in It for mo ; It Is true that the Judge awarded mo $30 , to be pali by Irvine , but I had a hard time , and con eldcred myself lucky to get $25. Irvine was a British soldier. He ran away from his wife and came to New York. Ho wanted to ge a separation from her , and got another pit vale , named Best , who ran away with hltr and Is made ono of the cd-respomlents In the bill , to make Improper proposals to Mrs Irvine. She resented them and complained to her husband , but he neither did nor said anything about the matter. He came to Nev York entirely destitute , and was helped along by some friends to keep him from starving , He worked Into the mission field , and be came connected with the Church ot Sea am : Land. When Mrs. Irvine came over with tin children ho had to take care of them be cause it would have made too much nols and spoiled his position , CRUELTY ON THE OTHER SIDE. "They lived wretchedly , and he never dli anything to make a decent home. Irvln had gotten In with a lot of high-toned ladle and his wife , whom ho had married whll a soldier , was no longer good enough fo : him. He took away the children , and sal ho was going to send them to Ireland to M people. And then he got rid of her by prom Islng to support her If she would leave him Seeing that her children were gone she wa perfectly willing. But he never paid be but $40 , and $6 a week for four weeks , am she- has been supporting herself by worklni out as a servant girl. "Finally Frank Moss began a suit for bin for a divorce. Irvine went to her and tel her he would send her over to the ol country to her children. He gave her piece of paper , which he said she shoul give to his folks to get both children , bu not to bother about It particularly. B chance she happened to show It to a frlen some time after , and It proved to be a sum mons In the divorce suit. She did not un Jerstaml about It , and gut Into court on th wrong day. The Judge heard her story , an rent her to me to take charge of her case When Irvine found that she was to appea and testimony wculd be brought on her side , they had the case postponed a couple o times. That was some time In May nnd when the courts adjourned for th summer Irvine skipped out and went t Omaha. They hadn't the least evidence fo a divorce. 1'vo told you about Host , an Ne-wbcrry O'Connell. who was named as th other co-respondent , was a son of the famll which had picked him out of the gutter and helpeJ him aloii ; . The young fellow i a sailor on a man-of-war , and at the time th offense was charged was out at sea. Th Idea of Mrs. Irvine , who Is a. little bit of woman , aesaultlng a strapping soldier wh had seen seven or eight years' tough service Is just as ridiculous as the rest of the charges That man Irvine managed to throw a goo deal of sand In the eyes of theI'arklmrs outljt. but If he had come up before the court I would have shown them what he was. Uut he Is out of our Jurisdiction now. and we can't do anything about It. " MOS3 UNAWARE OP NEW CASE. Frank Moss , who is the attorney of Park- hurst's society , of course told a slightly dif ferent story. "I first met Irvine. " he said , "about four years ago. He was working very hari all day and educating himself at night. Several ot us took quite a lively In terest In him and tried to help him along. I don't know much about his former career except that he was In the army. He mar- tied this girl when he returned to England. His ambition waa to become a missionary , but she was always opposed to anything of the kind. Then he decided to come to America. "Ho had found that there was the best kind ot field for missionary work right hero In New York , nnd gave up the Idea of going to China or India. Irvine really dU some remarkable work among the llowery lodging houses , and Dr. Parkhurst mads him the patter of the Church ot Land and Sea , which U a sailors' and tenement mission. Uut Mr ? . Irvine had no sympathy with his work and began going from bad to worse. Her conduct became simply unbearable and It spoiled his work as a missionary. People knew of his wife's loose ways , and he could put no spirit Into his work. We told him the best thing to do was to get a divorce , for I am sure- there were plenty of grounds. The suit waa brought and Mrs. Irvine said she didn't care whether he got It or not. Uut when It came up for a hearing she ap peared. In court , and on our motion It was postponed so that ehe could get a lawyer and make a defense. It wai postponed then until after the summer vacation , but Mr. Irvlno decided to resign from the pulpit of the Church of S a and Land and went to Omalia. The case Is still on the docket , hut has never been brought up. I dU , not know before that he bad filed a bill In Omaha. " The Throat.

This loan , Welch testified , lad since been repaid , but counsel failed to elicit how , when or where It had been paid. Previously Welch testified that Mosher had ransferred to the company some $27,500 worth of gas stock , to recoup the company 'or some frauds he had committed prior to : ho sale to the company by him of the irlson plant and to make good some rebates iald to South Omaha packing men Mosher lad promised If the packers would not carry out their threat to make their own barrels.
