wealthy American Wife formerly Miss
BostWick, is. now in London. and makes
no secret of his grief at the step he felt
compelled to take. He was so deeply In.
love with his wife that up to the trial
he used every possible MODE of per-
suasion to get her to renounce Mr.. Fran

He begged for: reconciliatio offering to
forget the past and asking for fresh
start, provided sheawould dismiss Francis
from her mind forever. This Mrs Car.
stairs absolutely refused to do. but she
was. willing to return to her husband on
condition that occasionally Mr.. Francis
could be received at her husbands home
as his friend. To this arrangement the
heart-broken husband naturally objected.
Through eleven years OF married t1appi-t

until the gallant captain went to the.
South African war.
Mr.. Francis is unknown except to sport

He is short, fair. and not at all romantic

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Interest and
discussion in financial circles this morn
ing converged exclusively upon the like
lihood that the days bank statement
would make a very weak showing. and
upon the prospects for the passage OF
the Aldrich finance bill.
On account of the very heavy losses
in cash which the banks have suffered
this week il was assumed that the bank
statement would show a further severe
decrease in surplus reserves. With re-
gard to the AIdrich bill this mornings
public and private advices are conflicting
and indefinite.
There was little neVw-of Importance
overnight bearing upon particular stocks
apart from the publication OF a large
number of railway traffic returns. Among
these was included the very gratifying
annual report OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
American stocks were steady in the
London market But little was done here
for foreign account.
Broadly speaking. the trading was Of
the same character as that conducted IL
yesterdays market. Aggressive opera
in every direction. and the moderat'
dealings OF the commission houses wer,
also chiefly on the selling side.
At the opening Of business the Wabash
issues were comparatively firm, and
while they subsequently suffered In
price along with the general market
they still showed a ralIying power tina
was missing in other directions. Con.
solidated Gas continued weak. and tn,
extensive decline In that security ex
cited good deal of comment. although
IL was not accounted for by any definit,
intelligence.
