SEQUEL of the ConklIns Tragedy.

Saturday evening George W. Conkling took
his departure from New York for hi. home in
Reno, New, taking his sister, Mrs. Uhler, with
him. He had Intended to leave sooner, but
had heen delayed from day to day by his sisters
fr4nt devotion 10 the spot in tue fats where
Haversiick was shot. At Last, on Saturday aft
ernoon, to her brothers great relief, Mrs. Uhler
declared that she would be ready to start that
evening. Every preparation was made, and as
the hour Of departure drew near, she wept
violently, calling repeatedly upon the name Of
her dead liver and declaring that she would
not leave for the West before seeing her chill
dren. Mr.. Conkling's counsel, Col Cameron a.
King, earnestly urged her to sccompshy her
a close carriage with Mr. Conk ing d gentle-
mau who has been bis warm friend throughout
his trouble, and the carriaga was driven to the
Grand Central depot After getting ON board the
train Mrs. Uhler became aim 'st hyste ,ical, and
cried out that she would e.. At Tim % force
the car.
Despite her determination to do 80, Mrs.
Ubler was unable to embrace h.r little Chill
dren before going away with her brother. But
she certainly made y desperate effort to accom-
plsh her desires, for, accompanied by her
maid, on the 4,h inst she went to Lebanon.
Pa, whore her husband and her children arc
residiug with Mr.. Uhler's parents, Upon ring
ing the bell OF the Uhler mansion the door was
opened bv servant girl who la boea in tho
employ OF mr. anQ mrs. Uhler DoOre their
separation. The girl at once recognized Mrs
Uhler, and, acting probably upon instructions
given to her by her employers, shut tho
door in Mrs. Uhler's face. Tie unfortunate
woman became almost frantic, and, str,ding up
and down the piazza, she gave vent to her
anguish in heartrendinE shriek-, olamoring
to be admitted and threatening to break
down the door and the windows il che
were not allowed to see her children. No atten-
ton VA. paid to her cries By those within the
house. and finally her maid succee,lel in oalm.s
ing her. But just before leavir g the place Mrs..
Uhler deserted her little ones driving past with
their father. She hold ont her arms implor-
iLgly to them, and cried out for them to stop,
but either the father and children did not see
or hear her, or pretended that they did not, and
they we're som out Of sight of the heartbroken
mother, probably forever! II was with no
little effort that the maid MAS enabled to get
her mistress to leave the spot aud come to this
city.
Those who have besn in intimate association
with Mrs. Uhler For the past week are uuder
the impression that the poor womans mind
has been unsettled by the shock she received
the night Of the tragedy in Tive nty- third street,
and her suffering and remorse which hAve fol-

While it is the true way to put the piece of
corned beef In cold water In the kettle, chick

meat; experience proves that hardly any two
articles Of food can be cooked alike; hence
there is great opportunity for the exercise and
development Of judgment chicken should
be washed in lukewarm water, and then put in
hot water with little salt scattered in it: let It
come to boil, and then after this it is best to
let 1t cool slowly. It is sometimes improved in
favor by cutting part Of lemon in slices
and letting it boil with the chicken; this is par
