! he met a woman called Lillian Russell.
| She was younger then than she is to-
day, and perhaps more beautiful.
Scores of men of the Aspinwall stamp
/ hungered for her smiles. Lloyd As
pinwall had a wife and two children
when he met the singer. His little
| boy was old enough to talk. His little
girl was fluffy and downy like d chick
The wife was worried with the tales
she heard and Aspinwall was near the
end of his fortune.
About this time the father of Mrs
Aspinwall died and left his daughter a
comfortable fortune Lloyd AspinwaIl
was soon on his financial feet again. It
was said that house that Lillian Rus
sell occupied was bought with his
money. But his spiurge did not last
long. He was arrested in 1898 at the
instance of his brother, William H.
Aspjnwall, who accused him of forging
note for $4,000. Lloyd Aspinwall
spent ten days in Yorkville police
court prison. When the case came to
trial there was no prosecution. and
when Lloyd Aspinwall went home his
wife and children had gone
Efforts to reunitG the family proved
unavailing. Mrs. Aspinwal had three
sisters, Mrs. Goodwin. Mrs. Crosby and
Mrs. Ely-Goddard. They said. and
their husbands said, that Lloyd AS
pinwall had squandered the money of
his wife. The Aspinwall children were
placed with an aunt of their mother.
Mrs. Kingsland, at Fifth avenue and
Twentieth street. Mrs Aspinwan
went to live at No. 115 East Twenty
fifth street. She had a place at Cedar
hurst, but it was there that she had
spent her honeymoon. She never vis-
tied it after her separation.
There was no luck in life for Lloyd
Aspinwall after this. He went into
Wall street, but was unsuccessful. Not
entirely destitute. he managed to get
along, but dropped steadily out of the
sight of the crowd that had admired
him when he was wealthy and willing
to spend his wealth. He became rarn-
er careless about himself, and lived in
boarding houses.
The Christmas holidays of 1896 were
gloomy and cold. Mrs. Lloyd Aspin-
wall was much about the shops. She
caught cold, and on January 6. 1897.
she died. Her husband did not know
of it until he saw the notice in the
newspapers. Just eight days after
Beatrice, the Syear-oid daughter of
Lloyd Aspinw3ll died-wife and child
gone in a week
After the lapse of little more than
a month Lloyd Aspinwall, being
pushed for debts aggregating about
50 600, made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors He was not
heard of for a few months, and then
appeared in police court as complain
ant against the landlady of board
ing house at No IS West Twenty

resided
He had lived in the boarding house, |
and accused the landlady of holding |
papers and letters belonging to him |

the undecipheIable period Lloyd As
p.nwan made his final exit from the
metropolitan drama as 1t has been
played and always will be played by
young men of wealth.
The name of Aspinwall has been
prominently identified with the mer-
camille progress of New York for al
most a century. In the old days Will
liam H. Aspinwall was the merchant
prince OF the city. His ships sailed to
every port, his sale1=nen Travelled to
every CLINE The business he had
built up descended to his son, Lloyd
AspinwaH who had the instinct of a
warrior and became a general. This
General Lloyd Aspinwall was the
father OF Lloyd Aspinwall whose pres
ent lamentable condition is the cause
of this story.

Aspinwall reared He loved horses
and yachts and the diversions that at

yachts From the time that he showed
traces of a mustache he was a leader

his daring methods of expenditure. He
Joined many clubs. including the
Union, Racquet, Calumet and Manhat

Rockaway hunt, the Tuxedo and the
Westminster clubs, and no regatta was

club that did not number Lloyd AS
pinwall as a participant. either as a
practical sailor or as a guest of sail
or. He was also a member of the Cor
inthian Yacht club.
Nearly all the young men who flour

either married and settled down or are
dead. The pace they started at was
too hot for all but the man who is
dying of its effects. One thing that
kept him going when others dropped
was his even, courteous. kindly dispo-
sitton. He was not vicious; he was
self-indulgent and tndulgent to- others.

Lloyd AspinwaH took to wife Miss
Nina Sutton, the daughter of Cornelius

The wedding was more than an ordi-

young and gloriously beautiful, the
groom was young, handsome and had
q past that made him attractive to
many young women. Both had plenty
of money.
General Lloyd Aspinwall went the
way of all flesh some ten years ago.
