TWO WASTED LIVES.
The Pitiful Ending of Story of Drunken De-
hatchery by Husband and Wife.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Oct. 9.-Some weeks
ago Clarence Clark, formerly wealthy drug
gist, committed suicide, and yesterday after
noon his wife took opium and died. Mrs Clark
was member of one of the most respectable
families in this State, and formerly lived in
Wikesbarre where she was general favorite in
society. Soon after their marriage Clark took
to drinking heavily, and lost all his money. The
wife was so depressed over the losses that she
became confirmed opium eater The friends
OF the couple deserted them, and at last they
took what remained of their fortune and came to
Bellefonte. where for years they were known as
hopeless drunkards They lived in an old shanty
until their money was exhausted. The husband
driven to despair, blew his brains out, and his
wife buried him by selling diamond ring which
she had kept during all her wanderings It has
been mystery how she lived, but it is thought
that relatives sent her money. After her
husbands death she drank to excess, and yes
terday afternoon she was found dead in her bed
with vial of opium in her hand. By her side
was note which read: II have wasted my life
and don't want to live longer"

Another of Bayard's Appointments

Correspondence St Louis Post Dispatch.
There is no change that has been made in the
State Department which will afford more cause
for criticism than the recent one in the Bureau
of Statistics of that department. Mr. Seaman,
the former chief of this bureau, is a man of ma
tional reputation among statistcians He has
been generally recognized as one of the ablest of
statisticians The other day he was removed
and a small, misunderstanding young man of
the name of Washington G. Ford was put in his
place. The only public position that Mr.. Ford
ever held was the secretaryshp of little civil
service reform club in Brooklyn. He is harm
less little gentleman who has not the slightest
knowledge requisite to fill this place. Mr.. Scan
Ian has been retained in the Office to do the work
Mr.. Ford has simply been put in to draw the
salary. 1t is said tina. this bureau has prepared
statistics in the interests of protection and that
Mr. Bayard as a revenue reformer, has desired
to have the figures from this bureau twisted to
suit his views. 1t is further alleged that the
consular reports which pass through this bureau
have given altogether too much comfort to the
protectionists. and that Mr.. Bayard intends to
have their character changed so as to give the
opposite view.

The Presidents Failure.
BROOKLYN Union


Although the Presidents attitude is disap-
pointment to nobody but the Democrats, and
though there was reason TO believe that he
would hopelessly disrupt his own party. the OPP
portunity was presented to him by a single ac-
ton utterly to break up the old party lines and
to force the formation before his term of Office
expires, of new parties on the single issue of ad-
ministrative reform. 1t might have cost him his
iife 1t would have been sure to cost him the
obstruction of the government by reason of the
hostility of Democratic House of Representa-
tives. and it would have brought next winter
little less than anarchy. But out of it, if he
had survived the Democratic rage, new era in
politics would have come

Mr. burlington, counsel for the Grant family,
said: THE whole thing is untrue. The accounts
of all the Grants show heavy losses. The Ward
brothers and their counsel know perfectly we'll
that the statement to-day is irrelevant to the
case, the question being whether or not he is
guilty of the indictments found against him.
The whole thing is contradiction. Since the
failure, Ward has confessed to u. S. Grant, jr.,
that the transactions previous to the formation
of the partnership were fictitious. Colonel Grant
has written me stating his losses, that he has all
the checks and papers of every transaction in
which he was concerned, and that he is perfectly
willing that every person who has right to
should examine them.'
The conclusion Of sitting process applied TO
Wards narrative will be that, go far as fresh and
valuable information is concerned, it is prnci
paly chaff. He winds up by giving the reporter
VINO asked for his ''opinion on the present stat
