The romantic wanderings of Augusta
Guidi ana Clorinda Rofanzzi have come
to an end. They had dramatic begin
ming; and the termination was consist
emily dramatic. Mr. Barli, the firm be,
lever in Guilds suicide, the man who
has mourned over the fate of the gifted
exile, was much astonished aud not a
little disguised last Thursday on ~eceiv
ing letter from Guidi The note was
written in a most respondent vein and
begged that Barli would or the following
day friday drive along Broadway,
Oakland, and follow up a trail of red
scraps of paper until he arrived at the
place where they terminated. There he
should find the dead bodies of Augusta
Guidi and Clorinda Rofanzzi. Mr. Barli,
in fever of excitement, rushed to San
Francisco. Here he organized
COMMITTEE ON EXPLORATION,
consisting of Messrs. Berreti, Doneri,
Caglieri and Giamboni, the latter the
proprietor of Campe's restaurant, which
furnished chickens and the seven bottles
of claret to the absonding lovers. In
Oakland. on Friday, morning, the com
mttee hired buggies and drove along
Broadway toward the foothills. They
took with them from West Oakland
doctor, whose services they imagined
might be utilized In ease the runaways
might have spark of vitality remain
ing. At Broadway and Thirtieth the
party discovered the first piece of red
paper. Mr.. Barli wept and the sympa-
thetic Doneri picked it up and put it in
his pocket as a souvenir OF this most
melancholy affair About half mile
farther on the trail was last. The party
held council, and while the greater
portion of them started off to the east
ward, Mr.. Doneri took the fields to the
southwark. After Doneri had left the
main road quarter of a mile or so To
his right, he noticed something unusual
under spreading oak tree. He advan-
ced still nearer, and To- before him lay
THE BODIES OF AUGUSTA AND CLoRINDA,
a black Grape vail covering the faces of
both. Doneri shouted at the top of his
voice. "Alas | have found them. Come
hither, friends here are the hapless
dead" Mr.. Doneri was not little start
led at beholding, Immediately after his
yell, Miss Rofanzzi cast aside the vail,
spring to her feet, put a pistol to her
heart aud cry out, ''Oh welcome death"
Doneli rushed toward her, but she had
pulled the trigger, but the weapon, not
being loaded, did not go off. Augusta
then took his turn at the empty pistol
with similar result. And then, APP
parenty satisfied with this dramatic dis
play, the fugitives got up, brushed off
the dust and began to talk like rational
beings 1t is needless to say Guidi had
a pair of gloves on. Clorinda said that,
fearing Augusta would kill himself, she
had followed him as sort of protector
only this, and nothing more. Augusta
wished her goodbye and strolled into
Oakland to lunch, where he encountered
Cattaneo, an Italian who keeps restau
rant at Temescal, where it appears the
lovers had toasted on credit on the pre-
ceding Thursday. Cattaneo demanded
five dollars which Guidi owed him, but
the latter smiled blandly aud begged him
to have patience. Subsequently learning
