| lFron the San Franeisco Chronicle.
In the Chronicle q little more than ,
month ago appeAsed the following marriage
| notice:
LASE--Int this city, Nov. 20, n
| the residence of tue brides mother, BY tht
Rev. John HemphiIl, George T.. Lane, Jr,
To- both of San Francisco.
The honey moon Of this young couple had
hardly passed before q terrible catastrophe
fei, upon the young bride, and she awoke to
| End herself abandoned, bergared and dis
gr,ced. Another vomans confiding heart
| i broken, and another name added to the
| li4 Of viciims Of mans basenees and tresch-
ery. Mr.. Lane has abandoned his young
wife, taking with him at least so. 900 OF
her moneys goodly part Of her fortune
together With 50, 900 belonging to another
pe1ssu. and has fed to parts unknown.
socIETY's LAST SENSATION.
Both parties to the above domestic crash
we're we'll known in San Francisco. George
E. Lane, Jr. il young man about % or 26
yean Of sSe, and was formerly OF the firm
| of Martin 4 Lane, stock brokers. In the
great crash of NAY last the firm went under
for $3.50, 600, and both members Of it went
! into bankruptcy. Martin has again gone
| into business, but Lane, it il said, eked out
| rather . precarious existence by street specu-
lstion. Young Lane ID . soO Of Captain
George E. Lane, agent for the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company at Yokohama, and
formerly Captain OF the Colorado. He vas
at one time assistant storekeeper in the COM
pany's service, and make several trips to
China in that capacity. Prior to this he had
been clerk in q stock brokers' office in Wall
street, New York, where he probably aoquir-
ed that taste for stock gambling, which has
nov worked his ruin.
BROKEN BY SAVAGE.
Soon after quitting the employ of the
Steamship Company Lane raised $1,000
cash, and with this little capital vent into
business with NJ. 3. Martin, under the firm
name Of Martin 4 Lane. For time they
we're quite successful, Lane telling . friend
OF his before the great panic sod tumble in
stocks that he could sell out of
the business $4,000 ahead. But
then the crash came, and Savage.
which the firm were bulling and holding in
large quantities, fell from $40 to $3.50, and
the young brokers we're wiped out in the
twinkling of an eye. 1t il said that George
Rogers was mainly instrumental in driving
them to the wall. Be thu "a it may, Rogers
himself Lost heavily in Savage, not only
from his own means but those of the very
family into which young Lane afterwards
married. Martin and Lane nov quarreled
and considerable difficulty was had in clear
ing away the wreck. Finally both vent
through bankruptcy, and soon after Lane
went 10 operating en- his own book.
AFAsr YOUNG MAN.
What euccess he met with is not exactly
known, except TO the brokers through whom
he operated. He, however, lived fast life,
and to all appearances was in possession OF
unlimited means.
He drove magnificent trotting horse, for
which he paid s., 500; had q splendid buggy
which cost $500, and besides had diamonds
and iewelry in the greatest prOfusion. He
was Withai !. very "sS"oS !o"u.
and great favorite among his iriends. his
we'll known face vas frequently seen on the
Cliff House road, al the different races and
FAM, and indeed every where II Is fas''iona'
BILE for gentlemen to congregate.
Mr.. LANES MATRIMONIAL VICTIM.
As will be seen from the notice above
Lane was married on the 10Th OF November

CROOKED LANE.
A week ago he left home without saying
ANYTHING TO anybody, and has not since been
heard of except once, and then information
came Indirectly that he had been seen in
Omaha. Where he is now, or whittier he il
gong. nobody knows, Or II tnty 10 Will uOt
Tell.
He lett tue city on q freight train, and
evidently adopted every means to keep the
direction of his (. ht secret.
Mr.. lanes friends are nearly distracted.
Aside from the horror and disgrace Of her
position, Mrs. Lane has slso other trouble;
her husband has either taken with him or
put out of her reach nearly all her pesaonai
property, amounting to over SO COO
Whether be actually has the money With
him or whether he has lost it in stock spetu-
lation, ia not known. The friends OF the
family are very reticent, and decline 10
answer any questions. 1t is probable, though,
that he has iost part Of it, and being afraid
to lace his wife, has Pocke:ed the rest and
lied.
