DAUGHTERS WOULD
ANNUL MARRIAGE
Rich but Eccentric Woman
Has Marital Woes.

Bridgeport, Conn. March 4.-That the
third marriage of Mrs. Julia Watt Morris
Curtiss Lawrence, which took place in
Wilmington, Del, February 16, when she
became the bride of DIR. G. Alfred Law
renee, an eminent neurologist, will plunge
the eccentric multimillionaire into deeper
legal trouble than she has yet expe-
rienced in her varied career, now seems
most likely. 1t is intimated broadly
here that the annulment OF her marriage
will be sought by her CONSERVATION, Judge
Elmore S. Banks, and that her three
daughters will be arrayed against her.
Mrs. Curtiss, whose wealth is estimated
at $4,000, 900, has long been a sufferer
from nervous troubles. About a year ago
she became acquainted professionally
with DIR. Lawrence. Soon afterward,
about the time when it appeared that her
relations with DR.. Lawrence were devel-
oping into something more than those
of physician and patient, she instituted
court action to have her conservator,
Judge Banks, removed.
DR.. Lawrence appeared in the trial as
a witness. He testified that Mrs. Curtiss
had recovered sufficiently to look after
her own business affairs. He denied that
he had any intention of becoming her
husband. AS against his testimony, the
long trips together of the physician and
his rich patient weN described in court,
as well as their extrAvagance and lavish
living. 1t was admitted by DR.. Lawrence
that Mrs. Curtiss paid all the bills.

Widow of Vice President Was
Debutante in Washington.

South Bend, Ind. March 4.-Mrs. Ellen
Wade Colfax. aged seventy-three, widow
of Vice President Schuyler Colfax, died
at 40 o'clock this morning after an
illness of several months. Schuyler Col
fax died at Mankato, January 13, 1855.
Mrs. ColfaN. who was betrothed to
Schuyler ColfaX on the top of Pixies Peak
and married to him the night before his
election as Vice President, was the daugh-
ter of Senator Benjamin F. Wade, of
Ohio. Although born in Ohio Mrs Col
fax came to Indiana when her husband
retired from public life and continued TO
make this city her home until her death.
Mrs. ColfaX went to Washington as a
debutante in the sos. and became ac-
quainted with Mr.. Colfax while he was
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
With friends the couple made a Western
trip in 1866, and while in the heart Of
the mountains plighted their troth. Mr..
and Mrs. Colfax were engaged two years,
their marriage taking place in November,
1868, at Andover. Ohio.
