Startling Developments Looked For

Detectives Searching for Some Clue 10
the Mystery.
No Trace Can BE Found OF Her
Anianced Lover.

The body OF Mary Tobin. which was found on
the rocks of the Clifton Boat Club House just
above the Quarantine station, Staten Island.
still lies in Coroner Hughes's morgue ut Staple
ton.
Although her relatives in Pennsylvania have
been notified none Of them have as yet called to
take charge Of her body, and IL seems as though
the poor girl had been deserted and forgotten.
Coroner Hughes said this morning that the
inquest would positively not be held to-day,
and would not be held until the parts supposed
to contain traces Of poison have been completely
analysed and the result Of the examination made
known to him.

and upon his return. early in. 1887, his Office

The doctor says that he never, really liked the
girl. as he was disappointed in her. Instead Of
being highly educated, as he had been given TO
understand. she was in reality quite ignorant.
She acted queer on religious Hubjects. Whom

he wanted TO see q friend who had come over
with him from Canada in the same ship, and
though his father gave HIM a comfortable
sum to take with him.. he wrote home in n
couple of days for a further large amount,
saying that he had made u purchase and mast
complete. When he came back again he was
wilder in his notions than ever, and told his
father that he had seen a capital place TO let
in London which would Just suit them for a
for IL. II was Just the place they wanted,
and the girls must 20 up for the London sea-
son, and they would have TO give balls and
dinner parties, of course.
John O~rpington was grieyed and shocked
at the eXtrayagnnt notions his son had
brought home, but he WAS Mortified when he
found that the young had also plunged into
the excitement of betting, and was backing
horses for large sums in all the principal
races.
With the example Of his own fate before
him, Orpington was paralyzed with fear at
this new discovery. His sou was treading
step by step the same road TO destruction
which his father had previously travelled.
Lizzie had long ago discovered that her
father was unhappy about Will and she
shared her fathers anxiety. She was bitterly
disappointed In Win. She did not like to
confess it. but she was beginning not to like
her brother. He was 40 different 20 the
brother she had pictured in her girlish i'm
even she had to confess that he didn't seem
to care much for his family. but only for
what he could get out OF the family fortune.
The climax was reached when one day Will
walked into his fathers study and declared
he must have a check for E500. He told his
father he owed that amount. He refused TO
explain for what, but he said he had lost 1t,
The evening world., 1889-05-15

and it was q debt of honor, and 1t wouldn't
do for the family name to be disgraced.
John Orpington was almost heartbrokon.
IL was too cruel. His son, his only son, was
going to bring them all TO ruin again. II he
ran through money mt this rate now what
would he have run through in q couple OF
yearsl Some stop would have to DO put to
his extravaganza or II would end in disaster.
John refused the check. Then there was
q furious scene. The young man declared
hat he would get a check and sign his
fathers name to it, and he must take the
consequences.
With that threat he left the room, packed
his portmanteau, and without saying good
by TO his father or sisters went up to London,
telling the servant to say he didn't know
when he should be back.
That night John Orpington lay awake and
worried himself into q fever of anxiety over
the scapegrace who had come to mar every
thing. The next morning he went up 70
sist upon a different course Of conduct: He
would prevent further mischief ct all has

He knew the hotel his son stayed At ana
he drove there at once.
He entered the hotel and asked for Mr.

of the strange feeling that had come upon
her when her brother first gave her a

What that feeling was she couldn't say. All
she could explain to herself was that Will

that feeling was a very long time in wearing
