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 Z~ Pensioned by the government. llert noved to thus city and dwelt, here about ten .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. Seemingly Eradicated, With repented and powerful doses of quinine, chills and fever.

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. ClMtfi 3
