work, Wilhelm Meister's Lehr-
jahre,' a YES giseminnicht marking
the page where she had left off
reading. The final passages perused
were those which describe how the
arrival of Theresa, Wilhelm's be-
trothed, causes the death of Mig
non. 1t would appear that Mile
Stein was betrothed to a young
nobleman, the Graf Won B., who
was possessed Of very slender
means. On the morning of her
death Mile Stein had received
a letter stating that Herr Won B.,
who was stopping at Hanover, had
Just been betrothed to a cousin
whose father possessed a large for
tune. The prospect of acquiring
the opulence which his social posi-
tion in a measure necessitated had,
said the letter, induced the young
Graf to cancel his former promises
and seek an alliance with his
wealthy cousin. This letter pro-
duced a terrible effect on the un,
fortunate actress. After reading il
she at once left the house, and hay.
ing formed the project of commit,
ting suicide, at once put it into
execution. The most terrible Cir
cumstance in connection with the
whole affair is, that the letter il
question was simply a hoax. Ora
Won B. had never asked for hi
Cousins hand, and had never ceased
to be true to the poor girl who's
despair drove her to this desperate
act. His uncle had promised to OBJ
tain for him an official post Of i'm
portance, and he was stopping will
him, daily awaiting a reply to tn
application which had been mad

The Loss Of Frost Thsrme, one of
the Victims of the Mohawk Dis
aster.
Philadelphia Day, 22d.l
Most sad and touching is the loss
of Frost Thorne, one of the vic
tins of the yacht Mohawk, and
husband of Lily Vining Davenport.
For some time resident of Phila-
delphia, Mr.. Thorne has in our
midst many friends who will deeply
lament the loss of one who has
passed out of life so suddenly, and
by a death so terrible and appalling.
Three years ago last May, Mr..
Thorne espoused Miss Lily Dayen-
port, and in the fall of the same
year removed to Chicago, where
Mr.. Garner, his brother-in-law, es
tablished a branch house of the
firm of Garner & johnson, placing
the business interest of said house
in the hands of Frost Thorne, who
, at the time of his death, was in the
full tide of success, and had just
built himself a beautiful country
home, where his two little children
a girl and boy, now are. About
three weeks ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Frost
Throne came East with their little
daughter Marcelite, named after the
late Mrs. Garner, to visit their re-
spective families, and after stay
Of about a week in Philadelphia
little Morcelite returned to Chicago
with her nurse, and Frost Thorne
and his wife went to New York to
visit Mr.. and Mrs. Garner. To-
gether with her husband, Mrs.
Thorne passed several days in the
yacht Mohawk, and also visited the
beautiful country home of the Gar
ner's. Mr.. Thorne not being in
very good health, he, by the per
suasion of Mr.. Garner, remained in
New York to enjoy few days o.
> sailing upon the yacht, and Mrs
Thorne, Friday Of last week, started
for Minnequa, to make a brief stay
with her family, and was to have
| met Mr.. Thorhe in Philadelphia OF
the Saturday of this week. On
Thursday evening a telegram reach
ed "Lily Villa" Minnequa, an
nouncing to the young wife ant
! mother the terrible loss she ha(
sustained, and accompanied by Mrs
E. L. Davenport, Mrs. Thorn,
started at once for New York, anC
l is now at the country residence o
! the late Mr.. and Mrs. Garner
l where her mother-in-law awaited
her. From having been one of tn,
most gay and fashionable of societ,
men, Frost Thorne, after his mar
riage, resigned society almost en-
: tirely, and became one Of the mos
domestic and devoted of husbands
J seeking and finding his happines
! in his home with his wife and littl,
! ones. In the loss of Frost Thorne
who has been called away Will,
still almost in his first youth anC
leaving a fair young wife and TIVE
I little children, there is great sad
4 4 ness, and while mourning his fat
: the sympathy of many hearts g
out to the wife who has been so ter
: ribly bereayed, and whose love fo
J the dead man was no common love
y With Lily Davenport this was tn,
: one sole love of her young life, ant
!, in her misery and desolation ther
: is no light and those who hav

THE PHILADELPHIA CENTENNIAL.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb 29.-Col John w. For
ney, Centennial Commissioner to Europe, ar
rived home in the Indiana, after an absence OF
two years. This morning the gentlemen con.
nected with the Centennial commission, and
the Board Of Finance. accompanied by the
members of the press, with the Mayor and
Others, went down the river in tugs to meet
the Indiana.
On the way down the river the steamer
Vaderland, from Antwerp, with two Centen-
NAL Commissioners, was boarded. There was
an interchange of civilities, and the Comte D.
VQllriment, one of the Belgic Commissioners,
returned thanks for their reception.
The Naderland also has ON board number
of Centennial exhibits from Belgium and
Germany, and detachment of Belgian
soldiers.
The Indiana was found aground on Bulk
head Shoals, below Newcastle, about O. clock
Col Torney was on the quarter-d deck, and
when the tugs came within sight the people
ton.
An effort was made by number of tugs to
get the Indiana off the stpals, but it failed.
The party then boarded the vessel and were
received by Col Forney. and Mr.. Sanford,
the British Commissioner. There was no
formal demonstration. After the reception q
repast was spread, at which the Mayor pre-
sided.
In brief speech he welcomed Col Forney
back to his native land, to which the colonel
responded in an appropriate manner. Prof.
Archer, of the English Commission, Gen.
Hawley, John Price Wetherell and Col. VIM.
B. Mann also made addresses.
This over, Col Forney was taken aboard
the Mayors tug and taken in charge by the
members of the press and brought to this
city.
The Indiana struck on the shoals at half
past o'clock this morning. She had
stormy passage When off the Banks she
passed through q field Of ice rs miles wide.
Most Of the passengers were brought to the
city in tugs.
