/ That her departure for Washington
has any great surprise TO her HUSBAND
.eems a matter OF doubt. DR.. Cronyn
Tas i'm Rochester to-day attending the
bces with his wife'S uncle. Mr.. Gro
.yp left for Washington last Saturday
8fternOOn.
When her husband came home at Z
o'clock that evening she was gone, but
M did not seem particularly surprised
j he is said to have remarked to the
.ervant girl that he did not expect she
aould go so soon.
However, it was rather lonely heme
hat he found, as Mrs. Cronyn hao
tacked all Of her silver and china ana
eut il 10 the house Of her sister, Mrs.
packard. on Howard avenue.
She told the servant her sister was 60
a 2 10 have company and would neeo
u ira dishes. Then her trunk was hur-
fedlv packed and taken TO the Western
kew York and Pennsylvania railroad
Aation. The servant was temporarily
a batIt was the time Of year q6f VaGa-
Mrs. CrOnyn's maIuen nduv was IIou'
chey. Her father is engaged in the tan
rery business at POrtville, n. Y, and ii
MS there that DR.. CrOnyn married her
about five years ago. One old gentle
nan, who had known the couple ever
since they were married and had been
acouainted with DR.. Cronyn from boy
hood, talked very freely OF the affair
and seemed TO be entirely in sympathy
With the woman.
II expected this" he said, "for no
aoman Of her disposition could put up
With the treatment she received. l
1on't mean that the doctor abused
Der, but he neglected her. She was one
"a the best-souled women l ever saw,
but she wanted somebody to give her
attentiOn and pet her, and this the doc
Ior did not do. He was hardly ever at
home except at his meals and seemed to
care good deal more about other things
than he did about his wife. l don't
wonder at all that she's gone"
DR.. Cronyn'S father was the wealthiest
physicians in Buffalo, and the son sue
oeeded to his practice.
