SHE WANTED TO BE A WIDOW.
Romance of an Heiress Ambitious of
the Freedom of Widowhood
A detailed and interesting account of a
remarkable marriage contract'd bv a young
lady of wealth and social position with a poor
consumptive printer, for the express purpose
of attaining the blessed state of widowhood,
is printed by the San Francisco Fen miner.
The young lady is Miss Lily F. B own, of
Oakland. On coming of age, last Octo
ber, she received a fortune of s.=>o,ooo from
her father’s estate. The possession of this
money inspired her with a desire to enjoy
life freed from the restraints imposed ujxm
young spinsters by social conventionali
ties.
While living at the Brunswick House, in
Oakland, she proposed to a friend, a widow
also stopping there, that they take a pleasure
trip to the Yosemite together. The widow
assented, suggesting that if they could both
travel as widows their enjoyment of the trip
would be greatly enhanced.
•‘A widow, =' she slyly insinuated, “can go
about with freedom .'flirt and have lots of
fun; but a young girl lias to be so careful. ’’
Miss Brown was greatly taken by the idea.
Black would certainly become iier blonde
beauty, she knew. If one could only be
come a widow without first being a wife! she
sighed.
Another friend, Capt. Richard Apgar,
who lived with his wife at the hotel, was
taken into the ladies’confidence. When ap
prised of the ambition of the young heiress,
lie laughed and said:
“Why, nothing could be easier. There
are hundreds of men dying in Ban Francisco
all the the time. I’ll find you one.”
The would-be widow hailed the Captain’s
brilliant idea with delight. He proved as
good as his word. Going to Dr. Anson A.
>u Puy, a friend of his, he asked that physi
cian if he knew of a man not likely to Uve
more than a couple of weeks who would be
willing to marry a rich maiden desirous of
changing her slate to that of a charming
young widow.
“I have just the man,” said Dr. Du Puy.
“Frank McKee, a young printer, whom I am
treating for consumption, is almost dying.
Only your young lady will have to hurry
the nuptials, for he may not last two
days.”
Next day the marriage was performed at
the doctor’s office by a Justice of the
Peace. After the ceremony the almost un
conscious groom was taken back home and
put to bed.
Since then his bride has been impatiently
waiting for him to die. She has even pro
videdsums amounting to *I,OOO to defray
the expenses of his supposedly short remain
ing span of life and of a first-class funeral
when he died, Dr. Du Puy’s interesting
patient, being provided with all the luxuries
and delicacies he craved out of the money,
has evinced strange and persistent inclina
tion to disappoint all the expectations built
upon the strange marriage. So far from
dying he has grown stout and strong, and
evidently has no intention of immediately
departing this vale of tears.
Meeting his bride on the street a few week3
ago, he assured her of his abiding love and
expressed a desire that his happiness should
be crowned by their living together. To
this Mrs. McKee returned an indignant re
fusal. Though the unreasonable man in
sisted on Living in violation of the under
standing that he should die speedily she did
not dare to resist his appeal for funds. The
secret of the marriage was well kept all this
time, though a blackmailer had tried to
bleed the heiress by threats of making it
public. On appealing to counsel she found
tliatshe could do nothing to extricate herself
from the dilemma. While her husband
lived she was his wife, and although she
could refuse to live with him, she could not
obtain a divoroe.
A reporter calling on Mrs. McKee to-day
witnessed a strange scene. There was a sort
knock on the door, and the lady, raising to
open it, much to her surprise, was confront
ed by her husband. He slid into a chair
with a weary, remorseful look. His wife
withdrew a few feet, and surveying the
intruder angrily demanded in icy tones:
“What do you want here, sir?” Before he
could reply McKee was seized with a vio
lent fit of coughing. At this Mis. McKee’s
face brightened. Hope shone in her eyes.
But the light died out as McKee regained
his composure, and it appeared that the
spasms were merely the const qnence of a
quid of tobacco having lodged in his
throat. #
“I just wonted to let you know that I had
nothing to do with putting it in the papers,”
he said hi a contrite tone.
With an exclamation of disgust Mrs. Mc-
Kee seated herself on an ottoman obviously
waiting for her unwelcome spouse to go.
His jet-black curls mid pale, sad face, lit by
mournful eyes of tenderest hazel, evidently
did not interest her. On his part, settling
himself in his chair. McKee continued to
gaze for several minutes with an expression
of wrapt but woful devotion on the reed-like
form of his young bride. Raising at last, he
held out his hand and said: “Good by”
“Good by,” she answered coldly and with
out noticing the proffered hand. In another
moment he was gone.
A POLISH HERO’S HEIRS.
A Romantic Recital Beginning with
the Polish Insurrection of 1832.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The widow of Capt. L. Domanski, who,
Wth her two daughters, is believed to reside
in this city, will learn of something to her
interest by communicating with Henry Pe
trokontki, of 1501 East Montgomery ave
nue. '
There is a little romance attached to this
statement. Years ago, just alter the ill
starred Polish insurrection of 183d, a Pole of
noble family ; exiled for his part in the ris
ing, arrived in New York. He discarded his
rightful name and assumed that of Ber, by
which he was afterwards known. He mar
ried twice, having a daughter by eacli union.
The offspring of the tirst marriage married
uapt. L. Domasid, and it is she for
whom the friends of the family have insti
tuted search.
Like his father-in-law. Ber, Capt. Do
nianski was a Pole of an old and noble fami
ly, and like Ber be was an exile from his Po
lish home. He was a soldier in all the term
implies, in the Hungarian insurrection of
lorty years ago, he fought ns an officer of the
1 oush Legion, and when Kossuth was over
whelmed, the noble and high-spirited soldier
met a fate then common to his liberty-lov
ing countrymen—exile.
Briven from home he turned to America
and for years wrestled with fortune in the
Nght for a livelihood. He knew no trade
nut that of soldier, and here he was at a dis
advantage. But uiilcd by his generous
countrymen, and, being a man of intelli
gence and skill, he soon found means of gel
ling along. Ber, the exile, of twenty years
f-2 re ’ WM oue the tirst to lend Ins un
fortunate countryman a helping hand, and
it wosonly a short time after the arrival of
ifomnnsln in New York that ho married
the daughter of tho other.
, ?’{t war was more congenial to Doman
i than peace, and when hostilities broke
out between the North and South ho wok
mnong the fii’st to offer his sword in the ser
'loe of the Federal government. He was
made Capt a i n of company C, Thirty-first
oew York regiment. Before the bloody
none wall or Marye’s Height he dis
tinguished himself by las bravery,
fieie he was wounded, but he sur
d-PY ° wounded again in the pro
gress df the war. After tho struggle he

.ears. 11 0 won the universal esteem and
frptjfnt ion of the Poles of Philadelphia, and
fnimly, consisting of himself, hi* wife
daughters, who arc said to bo re
narkably lieautiful, was in easy circum
tle-s during his stay here,
o," ~ again moved to New York, and
years agohediod. The prodigality
And liberal spirit of the soldier, by widen
n<>r. than anything else he was eharacter
"p lm d reduced him. and at his death his
lie was left nothing out his pension. Mrs.
mmanski and her daughters were tenderly
tached to Philadelphia, while New York
ran intolerable to them. Immediately after
the death of Capt, Domanski they came
to Philadelphia. They passed quite out of
the lives of their New York friends, who
have remained ever since in ignorance of
their whereabouts.
About the time of the death of Domanski
his father-in-law, Ber, died in Buffalo. His
daughter knew nothing of his circum
stances, believing, indeed that he died poor.
Such was not the case, however. At his
death he was worth a large stun of money,
deposited in a New' York bank. Only one
or two of those acquainted with him knew
this and they did not reveal it, wishing to
secure the share of the elder (laughter, by
far the largtr portion.
Although they were able to keep the mat
ter concealed they were unable to get hold
of the money, and a few weeks ago it became
known to several friends of Mrs. Domanski.
One of these friends, Cysziuski by name,
immediately set about finding the widow
and bringing her into the possession of her
due. He came over from N<w York this
week and at once took steps tcWliscover the
woman. Thus far he has been unsuccessful,
hut is still confident that his search will not
be fruitless. He is communicating with Po
landers in different sections of the city, and
has already engaged counsel to assist in se
curing the rights of the widow or of her
daughters, if she is not alive.
A CANONCHET SENSATION.
Willie Sprague, Who Married His Step-
Aunt, Seeks a Divorce.
A Newport, R. 1., dispatch to the New
York Times says: It is stated upon excellent
authority that Willie Sprague,son of ex-Gov.
Win. Sprague and grandson of the late Chief-
Justice Chase, is to sue for divorce. It will
be remembered that he married his step
mother’s sister. The ground upon which the
petition will be based is that Willie, who was
a mere boy at the time of the marriage, was
not a free agent. Papers will be filed at the
next term of the Supreme Court. Willie re
mained with his father when Mrs. Kate
Chase-Sprague left Canonchet, and since
his mother’s divorce, he has invariably taken
sides with his father. Every one knows
Willie Sprague, who led the van in the great
battle at Chnoncliet in the days of the Chaf
fee-Sprague war. His encounter with Bob
Thompson down at Naragansett Pier made
him popular, and ever since he has been
looked on as a remarkably promising young
fellow.
One Monday night, four years ago, Gov.
Sprague sat in the Providence Opera House
and seemed to enjoy himself great!}'. That
night he got on the midnignt Shore Line
train. There was nothing unusual about
that, but two days later, when a dispatch an
nounced ex-Gov. Sprague’s marriage at
Stauntou, Va., there was a breeze and a
bustle throughout the State. The Gov
ernor came home in a few days, and for
about a week the new Mrs. Sprague attract
ed a good deal of attention in her prome
nades up and down the streets. The family
went down to Canonchet that Summer, and
Mrs. Sprague’s striking bathing costume
furnished seaside correspondents with ma
terial for many letters. Mrs. Sprague’s sis
ter, Avis Weed, was also at Canonchet, and
they were coustant companions in their
walks and drives around the pier. In time
Willie forsook his mustang and rifle, and
was no longer seen making his wild dashes
over hedge and ditch or shooting yellowlegs
in the salt marshes. He became the cava
lier of his aunt by marriage and, it is said,
read poetry to her down on the rocks, where
the roar of the surf furnished the accompa
niment.
Then came another wave of excitement
when Willie walked into Canonchet and
announced that he had married his step
mother’s sister. But it all died out in time
and Willie and his bride settled down to the
routine of life. After awhile, however, they
were seen less in each other’s company, and
at last, the pier gossips say, they never met
at all. For a month or more nothing was
seen of Willie, and servants from Canonchet
furnished information that he was busily at
work on some mechanical contrivance on
which he proposed to get a patent. Then he
was seen about the pier at Canonchet for a
week or two, but went off to New York very
suddenly and did not return. Rumor says
he was working in a machine shop there,
but down at Canonchet; it was reported that
a warm friend of Gov. Sprague had placed
him in an excellent position in a dry goods
house in the metropolis. It now transpires
that the domestic relations of the young
couple were not as pleasant as they should
be, and the ruptur e will lead to a suit for
divorce.
THE CHINESE EXECUTIONER.
A Talk With a Terrible Official of the
Celestial Empire.
From the San FYanoisco Argonaut.
Facing the potters’ houses was a high wall,
at whose back and leaning against it were
some large rocks, all of which had their
mouths earthed over except one. Here our
guide introduced us to three poorly dressed
Chinese, whom we noticed gambling at a fan
tan table near the gate on our arrival. One,
a big, brutish-ldoking fellow, with a villain
ous cast in one of his eyes, was the head exe
cutioner, the other two who were smallish
men, were his assistants. Through our
guide we told the head executioner that we
wished to sea the instruments of his calling,
and thereon he produced a short, very heavy
two-handed sword and a long knife. The
following conversation was carried on be
tween us and this “boss" through the medium
of our guide:
“How do you use this sword? Where is
the block f’
“We don’t use a block. What we do is to
make the prisoners kneel down in two rows
facing one another, and bending their heads
down. Then I take the sword, and chop,
chop, one on each side, and the heads fall
off; so on, till they’re all done, as you’d
switch the tops off green woods with your
walking stick.”
“But you don’t always chop a head off
with one blow!”
“Always.”
“What is the knife for?”
“For the ling che, or death by many cute.
We tie the culprit who Ucondemmed to this,
death to that cross there (pointing to two
rough unbarked sticks rougnly crossed), and
we commence by cutting off the eyelid*, ears,
nose, and so on, ending by sticking the knife
into the heart. The cuts vary in numbers
from eight to 120, according to the heinous
ness of the culprit's crimes.”
“What class of criminals are condemmed
to the ling chef”
“Parricides, matricides and women who
have killed and mutilated their husbands
form the majority.”
“Do tho executions interfere with your
appetite and sleep;’’
The throe executioners grinned sardoni
callv at this question, so we asked:
“How many persons have you executed in
a day;”
have chopped twenty heads off myself
in two minutes. See that dark looking
place on the ground over there—that’s
caused by the blood of the last hatch we
had.”
“What is done with tho bodies”’
“The friends take the bodies awav, but
wc keep the heads in tho crocks over by the
wall there, and when we have a large iiutn-
Iter which art' no longer identifiable, we bury
them. Would you like to see some of the
heads F’
We declined.

C- H. UOHSETT’S COLUMN.
A HOME
AVITHIISr
The Reach of Any.
I have on my list a few
lots, well located, at prices
ranging from $350 to $1,500.
A cash payment ranging
from SIOO to SSOO will secure
one of these lots.
Abundant time will be al
lowed on the balance.
The first step towards se
curing a home is to get the
lot.
It is folly to wait until you
have the cost of lot and house
in hand.
There are hundreds who
have been waiting for this for
years and who are no nearer
the consummation of their
wishes than when they first
began.
There are thousands who
have died waiting for thai
kind of “something to turn
up.”
The greatest incentive to
economy is owing a balance
on your heme.
Real estate advances faster
than your savings increase.
A lot purchased judiciously
now will pay more than 4 per
cent, (savings banks’ rate) per
annum.
The successful men of this
city have made their money
out of Real Estate.
The lar seeing men are put
ting their money into vacant
lots. The wise man buys on
a rising market. If you can
not afford to pay for a lot on
Bull street, buy one where
you can afford to live.
Procrastination is the thief
of profits. The prices of last
May now seem ridiculously
low. The prices of to-day will
seem marvelously low next
May.
TO-DAY
There is less Real Estate on
the market than at any time in
ten years. There are more
buyers than sellers, and this
will continue as long as our
city compares so favorably
with every city in the South.
The property that is changing
hands is being purchased by
those who are able to hold.
The encouraging feature of
the market is that the demand
is from those who are buying
1 lomes.
I have a few desirable resi
dences which I will be glad to
name to investors.
