THE VICTIMS.
Biographical sketch OF Mrs. Tracy
and Her Daughter.

ana fheT
The following biographical sketch
OF Mrs. Tracy and her daughter,
the victims of the late terrible Wash
ington disaster, is taken from the
Post Of that city:
Mrs. belinda E. Tracy was Il sister
of General Isaac S. Catlin, of Brooklyn.
She was born at OweSo, TiOga county,
y. Y, about sixty years ago. and was
the eldest OF a family Of six, four Of
whom now survive. When about
twenty years old she was married to
Benjamin f. Tracy. then rising
young lawyer of Owego, who had
Just reached his majority. She shared
her husbands triuInphs at the bar
which led to his election TO the office
of District Attorney of Tioga county
in 1853 When the war broke out he
was IL mem Der of assembly, but he
soon Joined his brotherin law on the
field, recruiting two regiments which
they respectively commanded. While
her husband was in the army, Mrs.
Tracy and her children remained at
their home at Main and Page streets,
OyegO.
In 1865 General Tracy came TO this
city TO practice law, and he estab-
lished mis- family at No. l4S Montague
street, Brooklyn. where they con-
tnued to live Until they went 10
Washington last year. General
Catlin also moved To Broo&iyn, and
the Intimacy between the J|o families
was resumed, Generals Tracy and
Catiin forming a coparti4e :siIlp IN
business. The home Of tl:r General
and YRS. Tracy was tie eel q of
generous hospitality, and they we're
foremost in the social circles ON the
Heights until Mrs. Tracy became Il
partial invalid from inilammatory
rheumatism. The wedding OF her
eldest daughter, now the widowed
Mrs. Wilmerding, was one of the
most notable affairs in tie social
history of Brooklyn. When
she first went to Brook
lvp, Mrs. Tracy attended
Plymouth church with her husband
and was active in its work. Later size
went when able with Mrs. Wilmering
to St AIMS on-the- Heights, as it Was
carer her home. She WAS active III
promoting the interests of the Brook
Ign Maternity and other charities and
possessed wide circle OF friends.
Miss Mary Tracy, best known to her
friends as Matte, was about twenty
seven years old and was the youngest
of Secretary and Mrs. Tracy's three
children. She was known to many
young friends in Brooklyn, where she
was educated, and her bright and
merry nature made her the joy of her
fathers house. When she went to
Washington she looked forward to a
gay and happy experience, and,
according to her letters to her friends.
she was realising her expectations.
Her untimely death has caused grief
in many a home.
General Tracy sold his house in
Brooklyn last spring and purchased q
new one in Washington, which he and
his family altered and refitted to theil
taste. Besides his wife and two
daughters, his granddaughter, Alice
Wilmering, about ID years Old, was
| included in his family.

An i;>pIanation.

To the Editor of the TIMES:
Permit me to say that the World of
Yesterday contains an article headed
"Bibb Strouse affair" which appears
calculated to place some OF the parties
in an improper light.
First, Allow me TO state that neither
of the gentlemen concerned. nor any
of their associates desired to have any
mention made of this matter, and
used their efforts to that end, and
when reporters from different papers
approached them on the subject they
declined to give any information.
Second, That all implicated in tie
difficulty are duly sorry therefor is
evident by their expression and sub
seQuent action, by the apology OF Mr..
Strouse to AIR. Bibb. and the accept
ance ol the latter This should have
ended the matter. and does so far as
they are concerned.
Third, AS to the insinuatlons and
gratuitous statements concerning the
difficulty, that is Il matter of small
importance to the public or parties
concerned, hut as the Southwest
Virginia company is presenting its
case in court and not in the
newspapers it does not, nor never has,
placed itself in an attitude to excite
public sympathy nor prejudice pro or
con Its case is in court upon IFS
merit. and has been there since
the first Monday in last May, and it
will he continued there until its final
adjudication.
Suffice it 70 say that the Southwest
Virginia Laud company under the
advice OF able counsel. have no appTe-
!cus;on OF the final result, and no
ii!ueado nor anonymous colnmunl-
cation will be resortcd ts in further
ance OF their cause.
