The on Commodore,s Rride.

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderbilt, whose death
was announced IN our dispatches Tues
day, came of Virginia family, and was
through the Hand family. Her father
was lawyer and cotton planter, and was
cousin of William II. Crawford, OF
Georgia, at one time a candidate for the
Presidency. Mr.. Crawford moved to
Alabama, and had his plantation near
Mobile, and there Mrs. Vanderbilt was
born in 1916.
She was married early to a MIR. Elliott
and went with him to New Orleans. She
obtained a divorce, with permission to
resume her maiden name. She returned
to her family in Mobile, and there her
father died during the war. On a VISIT
with her mother to New York In 1868 she
met the Commodore, who was then
mourning the death of his first wife. Miss
Crawford was tall and slender, with fair
complexion and black hair. The old
Commodore, As years older than herself,
became infatuated with her. On May 20,
1869, an ante-nuptial contract was drawn
up, in which he agreed to bequeath to
her $j00,OO0 III first mortgage bonds of the
New York and Harlem railroad, at par.
She would not consent to an immediate
marriage. She was at Saratoga that
summer with her mother, and the Com
modOre was there also. He pressed her
with all the ardor Of a young suitOr, and
finally induced her to agree to a marriage
in Canada, to avoid neighbOrhoOd gossip.
They went to London, Canada, and were
there married on Aug. u by Wesleyan
minister. Augustus Schell went along,
and was the Commodore best man. This
was 50 years after the date of tire Com
mOdOre's first marriage. The couple re-
turned at once to Saratoga, where their
appearance as bride and groom in Con-
gress hall created a sensation.
Commodore Vanderbilt died on Jan. 4,
1877. He bequeathed to his wife $780, 600
in . per cent government bonds and 1000
shares Of New York Central stock, and
gave her the use of his house and furni-
ture, 10 Washington place, for life. She
had renamed there ever since, with her
mother and her brother. Robert l.. Craw-
ford, and his family. She passed her
summers in Europe or in Saratoga. Lately
she bought cottage at Seabrigbt, N. j.,
and she received the deeds for it on Satur-
day. The house now goes TO William II.
Vanderbilt, and the furniture and statu-
airy TO Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.
Mr.. Elliott, her first husband, is now
editing the Dallas (Texas) Herald.

CHAIRMAN TAYLOR of the late Ohio
convention, in his speech before that body
clearly illustrated the progress of the crab
by his appeal to the dead and gone issues
Of the war and his %allusion to the 'paupcr
labor cry was even moro sonseless. That
scare took once, in the Garfield campaign,
when sprung upon the people without
either explanation or warning, but its
utter folly was made apparent by the de-
feat Of Blaine last year upon that as a
leading issue. Judge Foraker will need
more perntient arguments, and if his
party cannot furnish these he should try
TO get them elsewhere. The only reward
that should be given to either man or
party that asks public suffrage at the
price of public peace or good will, is that
which waited upon Mr. Foraker two
years ago. Even a malarial campaign
would be more acceptable to the people.

TE opinions of Mr.. Randall, rs re-

moyals Of Republicans from them on the

as might be expected from an earnest
Jacksonlan Democrat. They will offend
perhaps those few tnnorous souls who,
with the mugwumps believe in halfway
measures in politics, but to the great mass
Of the Democracy thy will come rs the

much of a Democrat They do not COM

There are a great many more railroads

only open roadsteads. expensive iron piers
have been constructed through the surf.
from which merchandise is lifted into

Where there are. no piers the lighters are
