rather at d loss for another sensation nattempt
at one in the horrible tragedy way was made last
| week. Fanny White. born Sarah Jane Frank, and
4 latterly known al Mrs. Z. Bankman, died at her
house on Thirtyfourth street very suddenly, and it
4 v0as runored that she had been poisoned.
You may have heard of f. w, one Of the most
| noted Of New York eourtezans-a sort of giL-and-
| water Aspasa. She was the daughter of a Ger
| rnan---aii emigrant--and was first employed here
as maid of all work in one of the houses of ilfame
in Mercer street. she had rather pretty face, a
good figure and sharp tongue. The professors Of
Slang couldn't stand up against Fanny when she
set all sail. Still, she could be as demure kit
ten when occasion required and externally looked
and dressed like modest woman. She " extended
her acquaintance to the first political circles and
her house was sort of rendezvous for men about
town.
While at the height of her prosperity F. ". met
an old fellow, one of the Le--ys, very wealthy and
| high up among the best families. The veteran
was so much fascinated with Fan that he gave her
his name, and she lived with him till his death, re-
lieving the tedium of such an existence with a
mioecasional spree. After LIS death Che left

man mad ALREADY Wlie, but the union mad oeen
one OF the hand, not the heart etc. You know the
rest. Mrs. Biankman MOL lived in Philadelphia,
and wouldn't object to q divorce. F. Wwas made
Mrs. Blankman pro tenn, and afterwards the twain
were made one flesh, according to the statute in
such case made and provided.
Blankman took Mrs. p. eyerywhere-on Broad
way--at the Opera-in the theaters-they always
| appeared together. The lawyers cut him, mem
about-town made jokes about him, and some of
the papers limited that he ought to be thrown over
TIE bar. But he brayed it out, declared that the
woman as his wife was as good as anybody else's
wife. don't imagine the happy pair were much
| bothered with society, but presume on the con-
trary that they saw q good deal of each other.
However it is said they were happy, and that's
quite enough Things being in this state it is not
to be wondered at that when f. w. died suddenly,
it was rumored that she had been poisoned for her
money. (She left about 100000, divided between
her relatives and Blankman, who is residuary
Iegatee.)
Two physicians had already held a post mortem
upon her. and had reported that she died of apo
plexy, but the counter rumors were so strong
that the District Attorney thought it advisable to
have another autopsy, which resulted in the same
manner as the first. Blankman has been in high
state of indignation about the whole matter, but
ne should remember what some philosopher says
