her husbands residence in this city, No.

condition. For some days she seemed
easier, but on Tuesday morning the fever
appeared to reach its crisis, and since that
time she has been gradually sinking.
Mrs. Schurz was tho daughter of well
known and wealthy Hamburg family.
Her marriage to the ex-senator was e.

when he was young, poor, 4 defeated rev.

with price set upon his head; married
him then, and has been since: the most
devoted Of wives and mothers.
Senator Schurz is doubly afflicted by
this less, as it is only = few weeks
since his venerable father died in Illinois.
Mr.. Schurz had visited him short time
before. but was compelled to return to
New York by his anxiety concerning
the health of his wife. Whom dispatches
came announcing his fathers "a pid de-
cline, he was unable to start West
again because Of his wife's con
dition, and was thus deprived
of the mournful pleasure Of soothing his
fathers last hours upon earth. He il
now called suddenly to bear second and
even greater bereavement. Mrs. S:hur.
leaves two grown daughters, son three
or four years old, and the infant boy
born ten days ago. She was ATTENDED

Of Ceylon recently met Case and Mrs.

broken heart, aud is now dead. Mr. Fran.
cis left here shortly after the defalcation
and elopement, and wassupposed to have
committed suicide: i. Case. lWas formerly
Collector at Buffalo, and Was wall known
al along the lake: He also has relative.
here. ,....,.......-
W.. learn from E. s. Be.rdsley,,, I mes. ...
ssnger in the employ Of Adams Express
company, that tho above supposition
about Henry Francis. having committed
suicide is wrong, Is he is personally &C.
qaainted with that person. It seems that
i've or six years ago Mr.. Beardsley was
running on the Pan Handle route, from,
Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, and there be.
came acquainted with Francis. whom he
describes as being person OF very sin.
gular habits and melancholy disposition.
Francis told him in the course of the
three years that they were together the
sad story of his fruitless chase after his
false wife and her seduccr. Up 10 the
time Of the elopement, Francis had lived
with the utmost confidence in his wife 3
honor, and when the appalling truth OF
his betrayal dawnod upon him, it par.
TALLY turned his senses, and he became q
monomaniac, with but two objects in life
Ito gain revenge on Case and get back
his child which the runaways had taken
with them. lie at once sold his little
property At sacrifice and set out on his
long pursuit Of Case and Mrs. Francis.
They had gone to England. He fol.
lowed them and arrived there just
in time to hear Of them in France.
From France he traced them to the
North Of Europe, and from thence they
led him . will.o'wisp dance, sometimes in
sight and 1T other times unheard of for
months, to Constantinople, where they
became entirely lost. Up to this time
he had been able to follow them with the
U1AV3 Auk 1uSSAuCt VI u 0kSUt1 uUUuus uOt
now his most desperate efforts were in
vain, anG he wandered and waited like
the Wandering Jew-for death. So five
years passed. When the Crimean war
broke out Francis enlisted in the En-.
glish army in the unpoetical capacity OF
cook, and fought bravely at tho end of q
ladle until the end of the war.
What occurred from this time until
Bcardsley knew him IS 4 messenger is
not known. While in the employ of the
express company he Was in the habit Of
doing many strange things which were
the subject Of remark among his com
rades. He would never board At hotel,
but would keep house alone, doing all his
own work. In order to be entirely Sc.
cluded he rented house at Cincinnati as
we'll Is Pittsburgh.
At last his alterations became so wild
that he lost his place, and when last
heard from was living on farm in Mn.
neSota.

With its payment has thus far been found;
and while oil those who have thus far

who. according to Senator Stevenson, re.
marked previous t. his death that he
would sell his interest in the claim IL,
question for five cents on tho dollar, and
none Of those interested ever expected
that it would be paid. Senator Steven.
son testified that they all considered
what they got as clear gain. In 1870,
Pendleton. having in the meantime be.
come executor of tho estate Of Bowler,
late President Of the road, made a con.
tract with those who owned the road to
undertake the collection Of the claim for
a CONTINGENT FEE OF so PER CENT.
This contract, which is q very peculiar
one, considering Mr.. Pendleton's rela.
tions to the owners of the claim, has
caused great deal Of remark since he
made its terms known in his testimony
to-day. In the first place, as executor
OF the Bowler estate, he represents 4
three.6fths interest in the claim, and in
his capacity IS executor, was Of course

Montague, Thorne, and Arnott, no doubt
oft furnish some hints to the jennesse dorce.
Be that as it may, it is no exaggeration
to say that the perfection of tailoring is
to be seen on the stage. 1t is very seldom
that the fault of overdressing is to be
noted in male actors, but the same can
hardly be affirmed of the ladies. More
extravaganza in the matter of ladies'
dresses has for year or two past been
seen on the theatrical stage than can he
witnessed anywhere in the United States
outside of Washington. The ladies'
dresses at one New York theatre have
been the talk of the town, and could
hardly have been paid for out of the sala-
ries, large as they are, which leading ac-
tresses are known to receive, but have
probably been supplied by the theatre,
contrary to the usual custom.
The foregoing details may serve to show
the importance of stage-costuming. AS
we have said, it is an essential Of acting,
but only subordinate essential. 1t sets
off a good actor as frame sets off pic
ture, but a bad actor only appears worse
only for being we'll dressed. You might
as well expect man to write a poem
because he is in possession of a gold pen,
as Anna Dickinson's gorgeous dresses to
impress the public with an idea that
she is a good actress, or can in time be-
come one by means OF dress alone.-M
