1879 on account of ill health. He was then
sent as Minister to Peru, where he remained
two years. During the he was for a time
on the staff of Gen. Custer and A. A.
Humphreys.
Judge Christiancy had rare learning, per
feet probity and unblemished reputation, until
his unhappy second marriage late in life. He
met in this city at the house where he boarded
a young and beautiful woman Miss Lille
Lugenbeel He courted and married her. This
marriage caused considerable of o social sen
sation at the time, as Mr.. Chrisdancy was
then an old man with children much older
than his youthful bride. The sequel was q
great social scandal. Upon his going to Peru
as Minister his young wife accompanied him,
but soon reports came back of unhappy rela-
tions existing between them, due in part to
the attentions the handsome wife received
from gentlemen.
"Mr Christiancy began proceedings for di-
vorce here, alleging infidelity. This charge,
however, was withdrawn, and a divorce was
granted on the grounds Of desertion. The mar
riage and divorce darkened the lives Of both
unhappy parties to the mesalliance. Mrs.
Christiancy was broken in health and died
insane in Brooklyn"
A CASE that attracted much attention in
" Washington, particularly because one of
the parties had made this city her home, when
not living in Rhode Island with her husband,
was the divorce proceedings between Gov. VIII
liam S. Sprague of Rhode Island and Kate
Chase Sprague, his wife, and the daughter of
Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court.
Not only were the parties to the cause prom
tnent in themselves, but they were members OF

court at the disposition of the case, and the
audience present did not exceed half q dozen
persons.
This is one Of the most important cases of
the kind that has ever been tried in our courts.
Thousands OF pages of testimony have been
taken in the city. Witnesses have been brought
here from all parts of the country. Many COM
missions have been appointed to take the depo-
sitions of witnesses in distant cities. Mrs.
Christiancy has resided in this city With her
parents near the City Hall"
THE sad part about this case is that Mrs.
! Christiancys mind was wrecked by the pro-
ceedings and she died soon afterward in Brook
lyn, N. Y. Senator Christiancy died Septem-
Der 8, 1890. at the ripe age of 49, and at the
time The Star carried the following obituary
notice:
Ex-senator Isaac Peckham Christiancy died
at Lansing last night Of cancer of the throat
after months illness. Mr.. Christiancy was
born in Johnstown (now Bleecker), N. j.. on
March IL, 1872. He was educated at the
academies Of Kingsborough and Ovid, N. Y,
and, when 13 years old, he became the main
support Of his fathers family. After teaching
school, he studied law till 1886, when he re-
moved to Monroe, Mich. and was admitted to
the bar. He was one Of the founders OF the
Republican party in Michigan, and was q dele
gate to the Philadelphia convention in 1856. In
1857 he purchased the Monroe Commercial and
became its editor. In the same year he was
unsuccessful candidate for United States
Senator.
He was elected a judge of the State Su-
preme Court In 1857, 1865 and 1873, and be-
came chief justice in 1872. He was elected
