 Newspaper Stories.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Giovanni
 Morosini the well known banker, con
 tinues critically ill at his country
 home in WestchesteT county, and in
 view of his advanced age grave fears are felt for his recovery. MT. Moro sini's spectacular career has fur nished material for many a good newspaper story in years past, while escapades of the younger members of his family have likewise attracted a great deal of public attention.

 ed upon the wild plan of clipping with her father coacilman That night they were married. Victoria and her husband fled to Europe. But even there they remained in the public I eye, and in a few months returned to
 New York. The 5000 the bride pos
