DELAWARE SENATOR SITUATION.
BEARING OF oUAY's APPOINTMENT ON
FILLING THE VACANCY THERE.

Dover Del. April 90 (SpeciaD.-The action OF
Governor Stone Of Pennsylvania yesterday In APP
pointing NJ. S. Quay United States Senator to sue
coed himself has naturally caused much comment
among the politicians of this State TO what
Governor Tunnel of Delaware will do in the like
situation here.
Governor Tunnel tonight on the train
by The Tribune correspondent as he was returning
from Philadelphia. He said that he had no pres
ent intention of appointing a successor to George
Gray and had not given the matter consideration.
He also stated that even should he appoint Sena-
tor the appontee could only serve until the session
of the next Congress, and it was doubtful then II
that body would scat him. 1T Is simply a ques-
ton said the Governor, las to whether Congress
will reverse the action of nearly hundred years
relative to the power of appointing Senators where
failure TO elect by the Legislature has occurred.
1t is believed here tonight by number OF prom-
nent Democrats that Governor Tunnel will appoint
a successor to George Gray and that his choice
will lie between ex-senator Gray and Willard
Salisbury with chances favorable to the latter.

ROMANCE OF A MAD BRIDE.
Strange Vagaries of the Wife of an
English Earl.
From the Nav York word.


London, March 1.-THE Countess of
Durham. wife of Earl Durham, after
seventeen years of apparently hopeless in
sanity, has completely regained her reason
and is again living at her husbands coun-
try seat. She was the heroine of one of
the most curious and exciting cause cele-
bres of the past half-century.
The Countess was Miss Miner, a pretty
girl in society, when young Earl Durham
fell madly in love with her. He was deem
ed one of the most available catches" in
England and she was congratulated upon
being an exceptionally lucky girl.
She was a tall, handsome blonde, with
peculiarly beautiful eyes.
Within six months after the wedding
Lord Durham became convinced that his
beautiful bride was mad. She was en-
tirely insensible 10 his attentions or af-
fecuous, and passed the most of her time
in a state OF complete abstraction.
Everything possible was done TO rouse
her from her legarthy, but in vain. On
one occasion, when with brilliant par
ty. travelling in a special saloon train to
Yorkshire, Lord Durham made the dar-
ing experiment of kissing The beautiful
Countess de Grey before his wife's eyes,
to see if she would take any notice of the
act; but she was utterly Indifferent even
to bhis extraordinary test and all the
party concluded that there could be no
hope of the Countess ever regaining her
reason.
Soon afer this her eccentric conduct be-
came more pronounced and she was abb
sent from home from early morning till
late at night She rapidly but aimlessly
walked through country lanes or London
streets only returning when exhausted
by fatigue and hunger, her dress covered
with mud.
Al a grand bail given by the Duke of
Abercorn, at Hampden House, where she
was a guest the unfortunate woman was
found in the act of disrobing in the crowd
ed bail room, and her friends had great
difficulty in coaxing her to another apart
ment.
Soon after this she was committed to
an ASYLUM for the insane. Earl Durham
instituted a suit for divorce on the I'M
precedented ground in England that his
wife was mad when she married him, but
the court held that premarital insanity
was no ground for divorce. They have
not met since her release last week, and
the Earl's friends say that it is impossible
for them ever to live together again. Lady
Durham shows no disposition to appear
again in society, and will probably pass
the remainder of her days In seclusion.
Her brother, Henry Miner. who mar
ried the late Duchess of Montrose and
sister of Lady Gerard, are with her. Their
report describes her as having retained
her beauty and youth in marvellous de-
eyra

ly responded TO our rally of yesterday af-
ternoon, sending buying orders for the new
crop, fact which confirms our view of
the probable action of the European spin
ners in securing their early requirements
Tor next season. The improvement abroad
brought very steady undertone to the
market, Notwithstanding the heavier
movement at Houston and the Mississippi
valley, the Improvement has been main
tanned. Il was the support given to the
new crop which materially assisted in ad-
Vancing and sustaining prices. The be
lief is general that we must look to the
new crop for the new factors 90 influ-
ence prices, as the quality of this crop
Is OF such character as to cause spin
ners to seek, in the next, the quality they
need. rather than carry over large sur
plus stocks. There Is disposition here to
expect material decline in values"
