From the London Standard, Novem Der IL.
A most tragic occurrence-wneLher
accident, suicide or murder remains To
be proved-is now the talk of Paris. l.
appears that early yesterday morning
one OF the dredging barge5 on the Seine
came across the body OF u young woman
floating on the water near the bridge of
Grenelle. The deceased, said TO be of re-
markable beauty, was most elegantly
dressed. She wore black silk gown,
trimmed with lace, had god bracelets on
her arms, diamond rings on her fingers
and flowers in her hair. These facts
joined to the absence OF any bonnet or
other covering, st once led to the con-
clusion that the diseased had been TO n
wedding or party of some kind. One OF
her rings bore the date, engraven inside
OF a. Aout, 1871.
The body was taken to the dead house,
where it was recognized during the day.
1t turned out to be that OF Antonio
Balade, aged twenty-five, the wife OF NJ.
Louis Frampourmois hair dresser,
established in the Rue du BAG. Nine
Frampourmos WAS the youngest daugh-
ter of M. Balsde, a retired hair dresser,
living IN the Rue Tsitbout. She WAS
married to NJ. Frampourmois about three
months ago. The union was what Is
called marriage OF love, and according
to all accounts, the couple appeared to be
very happy. On Thursday last NJ. and
Mime. Frampourmois were invited to q
wedding, at which all the relations on
both side were present During the
dinner which took place alter the nuptlal
ceremony, aud which was given at one
OF tie most fashionable restaurants near
the Bois de BOulogne, quarrel arose
about money matters between NJ. Balade
and NJ. Frampourmois, but, thanks to the
mediation OF the o.her guests, it was set
tied amlcably, and the wedding tete
passed of without any further drawback.
NJ and Nine. Frampourmois set out on
their return home, aud arrived at their
house in the Rue de BAG about midnight.
Here we fud ourselves in the presence
Of two versions OF what followed. Ac
cordng to one Nine. Frampourmois BIT
terry repr cached her husband for having
quarrelled with her father, and the hus-
band replied in passion, "If you prefer
your parents to me, you had better go
End live with them at once;" on which
me Young woman flew into passion
and expressed her intention to start i'm
mediateiy tor her fathers house. Ac
cording to the second version, the key OF
tne apartment which the couple occupied
on the first story was not 10 be found
and NJ FrampourmOis, reduced 10 sleep
! in the shop himself, sent his wife to pass
the MA ut with her parents. w hIcnever
version be true, 1t is proved that the hus-
band entered the porter's lodge and ask
ed for the key OF the shop saying "thaI
ne had lost the key OF the apartment
rhe porter heard ne nigh words ex
char ged between the young couple; on
the contrary, they were Ia king very
calmly and apparently in the best OF
numor. 1t was the young woman who
| opened the door, and rs soon as she had
| departed the husband retired to his shop.
! Before his wife LETT, however, rs she was
10 evening dress, ne placed his overcoat
| on her shoulders TO prevent her catching
cold
On the following morning NJ. Fran
pcurmOls sent change OF clothes TO his
| wIte; but on the servant arriving with
rhem nj the house OF the parents It was
| discovered that nothing had been seen
there of Nine. Frampourmcls. The
family, alarmed, at once set about search
| ing ror her. All her friends wee visit
ed, but in vain; no trace oi her could be
found. At length it was re, Owed to go
to the Morgue, and on entering that
sinister banding the first thing that
struck the eyes of NJ FrampourmoiS was
the body of his beautiful young wife iy-
ing exposed on one o. tire marble slabs.
How did Nine FrampOurmois, who lett
the Rue du BAG at II Is O'Clock, find Ter
wav To The Seine at tie BrIdge OF
Greneiie about mile distant? Her
husband says that on leaving the house
she got into cab Immediately. The
affair, however, will, no doubt be cleared
I'd as soon as the police have found the
c.bman. In the mean time the husband
has been arrested.
