and met several of his medical colleagues with
whom be played game of pokor. The next
day he was found dead in his room. The Pc
cuIiar circumstances OF his death and the ru-
NOR that he. had lost $4,000 in the game of

the authorities that he had committed suicide

was that DR.. Stephenson had died from heart
failure superinduccd by morphine.

A Popular Ovation to Marshals Can
robert and MacMahon.

Tho marriage of Claire Canrobert with
Naval Lieut.. Fabre Boustand dc Novacelle was
solemnized yesterday afternoon at the fashion
able church Of st. Pierre de Chaillot in Paris.
It was made the occasion of 3 popular ex-
preston of the admiration and even reverence
entertained by Frenchmen for the two suryiv-
ing Marshals of France, Canrobert and Mac
Mahon. The ceremony was celebrated in the
little dimly-lghted Chapel Of the Virgin, which
was packed to its fullest with distinguished
guests. In the church had gathered a thou
sand or more people, who did not hesitate to
raise a cheer for the two warriors whose names
are inseparably linked with the history of the
country, as they passed through the sacred
building.
Outside the church was large crowd who
made the welkin ring with shouts of ''Vve
Canrobert," ''Vive lie Brave" as the marshal's
bowed and feeble figure, clad in glittering uni
form and wearing tile grand Gordon of the Le-
gion of Honor and the decoration OF the Anun-
clada, moved slowly from the carriage to the
porch. The old hero. who leaned heavily on
his cane with one hand, waved his thanks with
the other. Carrobert's eyes are still bright
and sparkling. His hair. which falls in silvery
ringlets upon his shoulders, is still plentiful
and his color still fresh. But his back is bowed
with the weight of years and his face deeply
wrinkled. His white beard is now worn long
and full, while the mustache that once stood
out IN waxed stiffness is now dropping.
Marshal MacMahon. who also wore a mar
shals uniform, formed quite a contrast with
his older cOmrade in arms. His head is borne
erect and his shoulders thrown back squareIy.
He was not cheered as he entered the church,
but on his exit a hearty shout went up for the
hero of Magenta
A brilliant cortege was that which followed
the bride and her father into the chapel and
took their places before the altar rail- inciud-
ing as it did Marshal MacMahon, Admiral Jurien
de la Geraviere and Admiral Baron Duperre
all in uniform and sparkling with jeweled
decorations. The bride, who is a brunette,
with an interesting, vivacious face, wore a
severely plain white satin dress. without orna-
ments, aud with long train held by two little
girls. The groom, good-looking man of about
twenty-eight, was in uniform.
Canrobert. after the ceremony. gave a lunch
at his residence, Rue dc Marignan. During
the day he received kilograms of congratula-
ton from all parts OF Europe, among the num-
Der being messages from the Prince of Wales,
the Duke OF Cambridge and Prince Victor
Napolean. The soldier who has faced death on
many battlefield without emotion was quite
broken down and by these tokens Of sympathy
wept like child. and when his newly married
daughter left him TO follow her husband the
marshal sank back in his chair, bis whole frame
shaking with sobs.
