THE nroRosrNrs CONE.

After Failing to Commit Suicide Mrs.
 Schtllfng's Mother Goes to Europe
 With Her Daughters-Her Husband
 and Sons to Join Her-VfctOrfa to
 Make $1O,OOO By Her Voice.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-It has transpired that the illness of Mrs. Morosini, which was for several days expected to terminate fatally, was the result of three attempts to commit suicide by taking laudanum. On Thursday night, September II, the day after the elope- ment of her daughter Victoria, she swallowed draught from a four ounce vial, nearly emptying it. She was detected in the act by her son Ottillo, who took the vial from her and summoned physician at once. The draught proved an overdose and the lady was soon out of danger. On Tuesday and again on Saturday she renewed her at tempts to kill herself despite the watchful- ness of her family and servants. The prompt use emetics and stomach of pump. however, prevented fatal results and the physicians re- mained with her until she became convales- cent and her mental equilibrium was re- stored. It is now known that Mrs. Morosini with her two remaining daughters and two servants quietly embarked on a Cunarder on Wednesday last for Europe, their destination being Florence, and 1t IS said MT. Moros1n1 and his sons will follow as soon as the former can dispose of his business interests here, never to return. Mrs. Schilling said to a reporter tonight that if her father does not relent within week she will accept the offer made her by Poole & Gilmore, the lessees of Niblo's Garden, to sing in concert for twenty nights at $500 a night. This she will probably do as she expressed to the reporter her belief that her father has fully determined not to receive her back or recog- nize her in any way unless she abandons her husband, which she will not under any cir cumstanees do. It is believed that Mrs. Schilling's intention of going upon the stage is induced by her realization of her hus- bands inability to support her. Schilling drew $700 from the bank to-day, all the money he has, and with this the couple com menced housekeeping for the winter in flat on West Twelfth street

THE WHEAT CROP DAMAGED

By Excessive Rains in the Northwest.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 19.-The Winni- peg Daily Times says: It is too early yet to estimate the damage that is being done to the wheat crop in Manitoba by the late rains. There is reason to fear that it is already con- siderable, with the prospect of it's being still further increased. Fortunately the inces- sant rains of the last week or two which have visited Winnipeg did not extend far west, otherwise the loss to farmers would have been as great as that of the frost of last year. Few ever suspected that too much rain would be one of the disadvantages against which the Northwest would have to contend Fears have been expressed that drought would be a drawback, but no one seemed to apprehend danger from the opposite condition. A week of dry weather is badly needed just now The latter portion of the crop is saved, but much of it is still unharvested and in most pre- cari0T1s condition

Berry was to the effect that his horse and buggy had been taken from him by highwaymen who handcuffed and allowed him to depart. He asked MT. Berry to re- lease him, but the farmer being suspicious refused and instead hitched up his horses and started him off to Marlboro jail in charge of James Green,r colored, and his thirteen year old son, On the trip Harrison, although ironed, managed to knock both his compan- ions out of the wagon and escaped with the team. Late last night the horses covered with foam arrived at Marlboro with the front wheels of the wagon only. Harrison has not been heard of since.

Description Of Watches and Jeyvelry
 Taken From Many Victims.
 Among the additions to those who were victims to the, wholesale pocketpicking on the train conveying MT. Blaine that passed through this city on Monday evening are as follows:
 r The thieves began their work in the Hart ford depot. H. E. Batchelder, of 370 Asy- lum street, had his hunting case silver watch taken from his pocket, and Charles A. Post, the grocer, reports the loss of a gold watch.
 At Meriden a man who gave the name of watch.
 George L. Pease, of New York city, while standing on the platform of drawing room car, was robbed of $250 gold watch, which bore his initials and the date 1876, having been presented to him, it was said, by friends in the Seventh regiment.
 A pocketbook containing two checks for $39 58 and $105, and 90 days note for $277 31, was deftly taken from Mir. Samuel Halliwell, of No. 80 Church street, this city, who immediately took measures to stop their payment
 A. H. Byington, editor of the Norwalk Ga zette. clerk of the United States Senate Com mittee on Patents, took trip over the New York, New Haven and Hartford accompa- nied by fat pocketbook. He was on his way to meet MT. Blaine at Springfield As he journeyed he went to sleep. When he awoke his money was gone With more of an interest in hard cash than his eminent acquaintance, he left the train at Meriden to confer with the police.
 The gold watch that Hon. David M. Read, of Bridgeport, lost was valued at $500. The watch was bought in Geneva for MT. Read, and is said to have been the finest time piece in Bridgeport Undertaken Bishop, of Bridgeport, was another victim. He took the precaution before getting into the crowd to remove his watch and chain from sight and place it in his pocket for safety. But watch and chain were, however, found by the experts and taken. The watch was q handsome one of gold and on the chain was thirty degree Masonic charm presented to MT. Bishop by friends, and which he prized very highly. The watch and chain were valued at $150. A silver watch was also taken from MT. Henry T Shelton, who came down on the train with Mir. Read. Mr O. A. Whittemore, of Boston, was fourth victim. He lost 8 gold watch worth $100 and pocketbook con- taining about $15 in cash.
