TRIED TO CRUCIFY HERSELF.
Strange Religious and Suicidal Mania Of a
Beautiful Girl.


Port Jervis IN. ~ Special.
The recent committal TO the Blackwelrs
Island Asylum for the Insane, while suffer-
ing from suicidal mania, of Miss LeOnie
Steuvenal adds another painful incident to
the sad story of the misfortunes which
family that was once rich and happy. The
unfortunate patient is one of three mar
velously lovely, amiable and accomplished
girls who were reared in the neighbOring
village of Milford, Pa.
Their father, John. b. ~Steuvenal, was
once an extensive importer of French
wines and liquors in New York city.
Having acquired a fortune. he retired
from business and settled down with his
young family in a handsome mansion in
Milford. He invested large sums in real
estate in Milford and vicinity. Mr.. and
Mrs. Steuvenal were French by birth, and
were highly intelligent and refined. They
gave the three daughters all the careful
nurture and educational advantages that
wealth could procure. d
The misfortunes of the family date from
the appearance in Milford of a dissOlute
young French ~adventurer styling himself
Count De Beaumont. He managed to en-
gage the affections of Miss Milotine, the
eldest of the Steuvenal sisters, and the
pair were married by Father Richard Bren-
man,, then of st. Mary's Church, in this
town, To- pastor of st. Rose of Lima'S
Church, New York city. The marriage
turned out a most unhappy one for the
beautiful bride. Within two years the
dissolute Count broke her heart and guam
dered a large share of the family fortune,
and then abandoned her and went back to
France. She lived only a short time after
the cruel treatment and desertion, and was
soon followed to the grave by her parents.
The remainder of the family moved back
to New York about ten years ago. Two of
the sons are dead. and the whereabouts of
the third is unknown. One of the twin sis
tiers, LeOnore, contracted what is said to
have been IN unfortunate match with a
Signor Bernardo Fontana, an Italian teach
err of languages and music. 1t is now
5iearned that the third sister, Leonie, who
has been living with relations at Bayonne,
n. j., a few days ago, while suffering from
religions and suicidal mania, brought on, il
is believed, by brooding over the family
.misfortunes, attempted to cruelty herself.
She procured a hammer and nails, and. In
the retirement of her room, after having
stripped of all of her clothing, undertook to
affiX herself to the oak door. as upon a
cress. When discovered she had already
nailed one foot and one hand to the door
while the blood was streaming from these
wounds, she was making frantic efforts to
fasten the other hand and foot. The wounds
were quite serious, but in her frenzy she
seemed to feel no pain. Upon due examlna.
tion by physicians, she was committed tC
the insane asylum. 9

critics once owned in Milford and vicinity
by the rich retired wine merchant has
passed under the sheritf's hammer into the
hands of strangers.

The Carrie Stanley Company pre-
sented Monte Christie on last Friday
night to a good house. There is
enough material in the n ovel for a
half dozen plays. The version we
had Friday night should be called
Edmund Dantes, that is the only
character that is brought out with
any force.
On Saturday night the audience
was not SO large, and here is where
the audience missed it, for Carrie
Stanley, as Lady Isabel in East
Lynne, was excellent, while the
whole com pany did well save the
man who tried to act the part of
Archibald Carlyle.

of feeling there are few stories that
produce a greater effect than East
