WRIGHT, of Now Hamburger, n. Y, who
had been engaged to preach in the absence
of the pastor, received telegram au-
nouncing his wife's sudden death. The
session at once offered to relieve him, but
his reply was: 81 can't go home until
afternoon, and the Lords work must be
done.' He then delivered an eloquent
sermon on Christ's love and sympathy for
the afflicted and sorrowful, and his were
not the only moist eyes in the large assem-
blage.

The Touching Story OF q Chorus Singer:
Wife.


Phila delphia Record.
Attendants upon the operate entertain
ments which were given at the Academy of
Music last week and the week before by
the Mapleson troupe, may remember 8
short, thick-set man Of German appear
ance, whose tenor voice invariably made
itself heard above the melody of the cho-
rus singers. The same individual might
daily have been seen taking an
afternoon promenade OH Chestnut street,
between Eighth and Broad. This ind;-
viduaf was Giuseppe Gardiui. Yes
terday morning he sailed for Europe
under circumstances which develop sor-
rowful story. Last summer, while sing
ing with the Mapleson troupe in London,
he became enamored of girl named
Nellie Wilson. She was blonde of the
most pronounced type, 90 years Of age.
and of high family. 1t was a case of
love at first sight, and against the wishes
of her family she left London with him as
his wife, having procured the position of
assistant to the costumer of the troupe.
In the early days Of the honeymoon, how
ever, she found that her husband was
addicted to dissipated habits, and this fact
preyed so much on her mind that soon
after her arrival in New York she was
Frustrated. Her troubles were increased
by the fact that Gardini, who manifested
an abominable temper, was discharged by
the chorus master as the sequel of 4 num-
ber of quarrels. Their he took to drink
ing heavily, but upon promises Of reform,
and at the intercession of his wife, he was
reinstated in his former position
with the troupe. The condition of
Mrs. Gardini meanwhile showed 40
signs of improvement, and just be-
fore the troupe came to Philadelphia
her husband procured her admission to
Bellevue hospital. This tended to add to
gau to manifest themselves, and the poor
girl was transferred to the insane asylum
at Wards island Here she pleaded in
vain with tho attendants to send for her
husband to procure her release. Last
week Gardini, while in his cups, had
fight behind the scenes at the Academy of
Music with the head costumer. The
men rolled about the stage in lively
manner. nearly stripping the garments
from each others bodies but tie costu-
mer, who was the more powerful of the
two, succeeded in worsting his assailant,
and wound up by giving him
a severe thrashing. That night Gardini
was peremptorily discharged from the
troupe. He returned to New York and
once more commenced drinking bout.
On Monday his wife was scalded to death
by the bursting of steam pipe in the cell
in which she was confined. When this
news was brought to him he became
frantic, and declared that on the first occa-
sion which offered itself he would shoot
the costumer, whom he regarded rs his
evil genius. Accordingly his friends con-
sidcred it policy to get him out of the way
before the return of the Maplesons to New
York. and purse was subscribed to en-
able him to leave for Europe. He did not
visit his wife's remains before his departure
and at the moment that the ship was NOV
ing down the bay the remains of the ILL.,
fated girl were being inferred in pauper's
grave at Hart Island,

A Goo.i Performance Last Night.

Last evening NJ. r. Skiff's California
minstrels appeared at the opera house to
an audience which. was by no means as
large as it should have been. The show
was good one throughout and gave the
greatest satisfaction. 1t was an agreeable
surprise to most of the audience, as the
troupe was new to the city and un-
known to many. Fifteen people were
seen in tho first part. with Fox and
Ward O.: one end and Wally Gibbs and
Charles Mason on the other. They each
sang song and told funny stories. The
music was first class, and the ballad sing
ing was up to the standard. In the second
part Wally Gibbs and Charles Mason each
gave specially which was good but there
was too much similarity. Fox and Ward,
two old favOrites, gave their song and
dance and clog in their usual fine style.
Major !ThOmas's lighting drill act, was
good, and so was the singing Of the quar-
tet. The farces Of Groom As and
Sim Dibsey" were we'll acted.
