DEATH STEPS BETWEEN.
Life-Long Romance Cut Off in Its
Brightest Bloom.
from the New York Herald.
<r ls strange—but true, for truth is always
strange;
Stranger than fiction. If it could lie told.
Ho v much would novels gain by the exchange !
One of the strangest romances of real life
in the social world of America and Europe
of the present generation came to a drama
tic end in one of the parlors of the Astor
House on Saturday afternoon. All con
cerned in the sad story belong to well
known families on both sides of the At
lantic, and no coloring is necessary to por
tray a scries of events that, as told below,
must startle even the finest artists in the
"resent school of literary realism.
r Lot the narrative flow, therefore, as the
facts from several sources came into posses
sion of the reporter:
Two of the best known and highly re
spected families of Boston are the Crownin
sniclds and Stones, and tlieir children, now
grown to manhood and womanhood, were
playmates together, iu close fellowship at
y>,j kindergarten, and their elders were fond
s( fostering the intimacy as the period of
youth was passed.
Among the young ladies of this harmoni
ous circle was Florence Stone, who was at
80 beautiful in face and graceful in figure.
Carefully reared, thoroughly educated,
strong in her musical culture, witty in talk,
and <>f course sought after by (ill of the
swells of Boston swelldom; but flattery did
not turn her head nor social adoration upset
her reason, and she unreservedly gave her
heart and hand to the hero of her childhood,
the handsomest of the Crowninshields—a
tall, manly six-footer and a veritable ath
lete. After a brief engagement there was a
its character nothing is known save
to the contracting parties, but there was a
separation and Mr. Crowinshield took up
'us residence in Europe.
. ACT NUMBER TWO.
Finally Mr. Crowninshield, with liis ac
complished sister settled down in London,
and at once entered tho highest social cir
cles of the capital, the latter marrying into
the British peerage, where she now holds
broad sway as ouo of the queens of the aris
tocracy. Her brother not long after mar
ried an estimable lady by whom he had
three children. Happiness reigned in his
household, a. and his material prosperity kept
pace with his household joy, and he soon
counted himself many times a millionaire.
But his wife did not long survive tho birth
of hor third child, and the wid
ower was left to care for his
vouug children and his widely scat
tered possessions. Among them was a piece
of property in the Northwest Territory
valued at several hundred thousand dollars.
So he came to the United States to look
after his interests here By the merest
chance he inet his former sweetheart,
Florence Stone, and finding that, unlike
himself, she had remained true to her at
tachment and physically and mentally she
had matured into a noble specimen of a wo
man, he again laid his station and fortune
at her feet and was again accepted.
There was unconcealed delight among all
the relatives and friends of the couple, and
particularly so among those of Miss Stone,
whose family was no longer wealthy and
who had shown enough resolution and pride
to augment her income by turning to prac
tical use qnicK intellect and extended cul
ture. Following the announcement of the
engagement Mr. Crowninshield went West
to perfect the title to his great purchases of
land, but he found that in order to complete
it a journey to Calcutta would he necessary,
particularly in order to obtain the sworn
testimony of the only living witness who
tould substantiate the record.
THE FATAL JOURNEY.
Before sailing from New York elaborate
preparations were made for tho wedding,
which was to be one of the most imposing
seremonials ever celebrated at that aristo
cratic marital shrine, St. George's Chapel,
London, and the trosscau was ordered from
the most celebrated establishments of Paris.
Mr. Crowninshield finally left America with
a light heart, full of his coming marriage.
On his arrival in London he wrote to .Miss
Stone, directing her to invite not only all
her family to the wedding, but as many of
her friends as she might choose in America,
uni to select staterooms for them on the
Cunard steamer then to sail, and to permit
no one to expend a nickel from tho time of
their departure from New York until they
should again set foot on American soil. He
then took a Peninsular and Oriental steam
ship from Liverpool, arrived at Calcutta,
perfected the title to his American property
and started on his homeward journey to
England.
Miss Stone, as directed, entered into the
spirit of ail tho details of what was to be
the most important event of her life. She
appointed the wedding to take place at St.
George's Cliapel in the first days of August
an ( l Mr. Crowniushield’s sister took charge
of all the preparations in London. Over
fifty invitations were issued and accepted
by tho American friends of the couple to
go to England, and passage were secured
for them on the Cunard steamer Etruria, to
sail next Saturday. It was determined to
make the affair the most notable one of the
kind in London’s history, and the toilets of
those who were to have sailed on Saturdaj'
are described as having beon long in prepa
ration and of a costly ami elaborate char
acter.
So determined was the bridegroom that
everything should run smoothly that he
sent his confidential friend and agent, Mr.
Hull, to New York, to superintend all do
tails, look after the affairs of Miss Stone,
and finally act in a business way as her es
cort to London. He was given a carte
blanche, and orders for unstinted liberality
were particularly commanded by Mr.
Crowninshield.
A THREATENING OMEN.
On Saturday morning last Miss Stone, ac
companied by Mr. Hull, visited their
Banker's, whose naino could not be ascer
tained by tlie reporter. Her puqtose was to
nave some drafts cashed. While she was
transecting her business sho noticed that
Hr. Hull had received several cablegrams,
■bat his face had assumed an ashen iiallor,
uid that ho was in close and confidential
conlerenco with the hoad of the house, Sho
organ to fed very uneasy and knew that
something important had happened. Mr.
Hull conducted hor in silence to the Astor
House and secured a private parlor, and
this is what happened.
THE DENOUEMENT.
Mr. Hull drew out the first cablegram
®nd said he had some very disagreeable
nc ',' s b' communicate. It read:
“Mr. Crowninshiold very ill.”
” ithout any tact or deliberation wlint
e'o he read tlio second, thus:
“air. Crowninshiold is dead and was
buried—"
Miss Stono went into a dead faint and
no ',er heard the conclusion of the message.
W'hieh, it is assumed, was “buried at sea.”
" hen she recovered from her swoon she
knew that the final blight hod fallen on her
Hut. there was another cablegram to
f. iHull, it read:
“Return at once to London.”
Thoroughly demoralized, Mr. Hull sought
Ms watch and found that he had just twen-
: V minutes iu which to catch tho outgoing
Kcamerto Liverpool, and ho at once strong
> urged Miss Htone to accompany him to
London. But this she refused to do, resist*
mg the excited arguments of tho agent,
"ho finally pushed oft' iu mail haste and is
how presumably nearing midooean, asnoth
mg further has been heard from him. Tims
, mft this unfortunate lady in a strange
hotel, in a dazed condition. However, she
managed to renoh her residence in Madison
jivenue, and then she fell into a state of ut
rT despair of life weariness, and, as a
■fiend put It, “If you only saw this
beautiful woman, and she would close her
lyes, you would think her dead.” All ani
mation seemed to leave her, and sho was the
“PPersonation of woo, of a ruined life, of a
®°ul gone to wreck. The shock was ns groat.
S'? fHdden, and all .Saturday night the doctor
“id not. leave her bedside. Yesterday eable-
Jrains from the Crowninshields, iu .ondon,
• v itw hor to <ro to England at o#e, and
of a very consolatory nature, were received,
as well as other transatlantic messages.
From all quartere of the United States
came messages of sympathy to Miss Stone.
To a friend, yesterday, she remarked: “I'
knew it could never be; it was too much
happiness for mortal like me—too much, too
much happiness.”
Said a friend of the lady last evening:
“Just think of what has happened. Here
vvas a girl about to be launched upon a life
of affluence, of ease, of great social promi
nence in the proudest circles of European
notables by the man to whom in childhood
she had given her heart, who was to be the
heroine of a magnificent wedding fete in
the most aristocratic chapel in England, at
tended by her countrymen and country
women, who were almost literally to make
the transit of the soa in what approached a
special steamer, and you nan imagine her
distraction and wretchedness.”
It is expected that to-day full details of
tho manner of Mr. Crowninshield’s death will
lie cabled, although it is assumed by his
friends that his death was caused by heart
disease.
It is not known what disposition has been
made of his immense fortune, but it is be
lieved that his will will disclose a bountiful
provision for the unfortunate lady who was
so sadly deprived of tho realization of her
life’s hopes.
MARRIED TO A MINSTREL.
The Prize that Billy West, the Burnt
cork Artist, Has Captured.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Two more fluttering hearts ferried across
the Delaware came back from Jersey’s
Gretna Green as one yesterday afternoon.
The certificate of the union was this time
carefully stowed away in the breast pocket
of none other than William H. West, the
well-known minstrel of the Thatcher, Prim
rose & West combination, and the fair crea
ture whom he tenderly held by the hand as
she lithely skipped from the boat once more
to the Pennsylvania shore, was recognized
as the beautiful heiress and daughter of the
late Hon. E. Joy Morris, ex-United States
Minister to Turkey. She was Miss Rumelia
G. Morris before she crossed the river and
was joined in wodhx'k to the lucky minstrel.
It is a romantic story—that of their meet
ing on mid-ocean last summer on the deck
of the good steamship Aurania, and the de
lightful transition from friendship to affec
tion and Cupid’s sweetest passion, till their
vows were uttered in this city a few days
ago, and then rejieated yesterday afternoon
in the pastorate of Camden’s Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church in the presence
of the Rev. John S. Heisler and his wife.
But a few friends were informed that the day
had been fixed. None but the happy pair,
however, knew the place or the hour when
their marriage would take place. Their
union is regarded as one to bring happiness
to both. The bride, who is just past 22
years, being fresh from graduation at a
fashionable seminary, is a most accomplished
woman.
This might be anticipated from the care
ful training she received from her distin
guished father, whose literarv work gave
him as great a reputation as his prominence
in official life, he having been a member of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, charge d’af
fairs to Naples, and a member of Congress
for three terms before entering upon his
nine years’ service as Minister to Turkey.
Ilis publications included a tour through
Turkey, Greece. Egypt and Arabia, Petra,
“The Turkish Empire, Social and Political,”
a translation of “Afrajn, or, Life and Love
in Norway,” and also a translation from the
German of Gregorius, Corsica, social and
political, and other works. The ex-Minister
seemed to be wrapped up in the welfare and
education of his daughter, and it was greatly
due to his instruction that the young lady
acquired such a delightful mastery of
French, Turkish and the German languages.
She has refined literary tastes, a charming
presence and is a delightful conversational
ist.
Besides “a gem in brains and beauty,” as
Mr. West stylos his bride, ho has also cap
tured a very rich prize. The young lady is
reputed to own real estate valued at over
$250,000, in addition to government and
railroad bonds, the aggregated value of
which, at present market rates, is said to lie
over $50,000. She has been living witli her
stepmother, it is stated, in the family man
sion on Broad street, above Brown. The
husband, too, is well fixed. Mr. West is
said to be worth about $150,000, part of
which he has invested in Chicago real
estate. He has also some property in New
York. When accosted by a representative
of tho Inquirer shortly after his arrival at
the Continental, wlipre he took dinner with
his bride, Mr. West said: “Yes, it is true
that we have just been married, and I can
tell you there is not a happier man in this
town than myself.”
“The ceremony took place in Camden ?”
“That's right, too,” he exclaimed, laugh
ing heartily at tho idea. “You see, we had
intended to be married to-day in this city,
but when I went to arrange for tho cere
mony I found there was so much red tape
about getting a wife in Pennsylvania that I
would have to postpone our marriage if wo
held to our original plan of lieing married
in this city in order to comply with the new
law. We decided not to wait to go through
the formalities prescribed, so we took the
boat to Camden andyyere married by the
Rev. John S. Heisler, pastor of tho Metho
dist church.”
Carefully drawing an envelope from his
pocket, Mr. West, opened it and drew forth
the marriage certificate which it contained
“Rumelia G. Moms to William H. West”
were the names of the contracting parties
written in a bold, clear hand.
“Her father called her Rumelia,” he re
marked, “after a city in Turkey. She does
not like tho name, however, and prefers to
lie addressed as Lisette ”
“Have you known her long?”
“I met Miss Morris on June 14, of last
year in mid-ocean,” continued the minstrel,
in a sentimental way, “andsinceour chance
meeting our acquaintance ripened into
friendship, which was strengthod on my
each succeeding visit to this city, till it grew
into tho love that lias hound us together."
When incidental reference was made to
his former marriage with Fay Templeton,
the actress, the hold minstrel Benedict
wished that subject touched lightly, as his
first venture in tho matrimonial line had
not proven as desirable ns might lie. It
terminated in a divorce, which lie said ho
secured a vear ago last May. Mr. West and
his bride left for New York last evening,
contemplating a trip up the Hudson to A1
bony and thence to central New York,
where they will spend a few days with his
relatives, after which the couple will go to
Wisconsin for the remainder of the sum
mer. Though ids financial standing is said
to lie such that ho may at any time retire.
Mr. West says he has not made up his mind
to quit tho stage.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 18S7.
TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
A Case That Puzzled the Learned Doc
tors of Gotham.
A dispatch from New York to the Cincin
nati Enquirer says: It is a rare thing in
medicine when a set of symptoms appear
which can not be explained. Through the
ignorance of physicians at times eases will
be diagnosed wrong, aud taken to mean
something other than the true disease, but
when physicians who are erudite and know
about, all that there is to be known in de
fining symptoms and giving tho proper
treatment fail to give a name to the disease
from which an individual is suffering, then
the disease may be considered more than
passing strange and worthy to take a place
among the unexplained freaks of nature.
There is such a ease at St. Elizabeth Hospi
tal.
The patient is a woman named Jane Hori
beck. She is of slight build, has black hair
and eyes, an unusually heavy growth of
hair upon the face, especially on the upper
lip and has a big head and largo bones cov
ered with small muscles. Her ailment be
gan some time ago, its commencement be
ing dated os near as it can be fixed to an in
jury to her spine. While leaning out of a
window she lost her balance and fell about
20 feet to the pavement. On the way down
sho struck a heavy wire clothes-line. The
wire cut into the small of her back, and
threw her so that she landed on her knees.
Sho was unconscious from tho shook for sev
eral hours, and the only injury besides the
severe laceration in the spine was a dislo
cated shoulder. Tho dislocation was reduced
by tho woman’s family physician, and it
was expected that she would be all right in
a few days.
She was kept in bed all the time, and
about a week after she was hurt she com
plained of a severe pain in the spine, in the
lower part over a space that seemed to her
to tie round and about the size of a silver
dollar.
IT WAS A HOT BURNING PAIN,
and the sensation as described by her was as
if there was something eating through the
flesh like an acid. Irritation by rubbing
and several ointments and plasters were put
upon the spine where the pain was located,
but it remained there all the time without
the slightest abatement. In fact the extent
of tho pain surface slowly increased, seem
ing to follow in the lino of a circle, The
flesh where the pain was did not show the
slightest change in color, being perfectly
natural and without any apparent increase
or diminution in the temperature. The
pain seemed to start from a common centre
and to move around the circle from left to
right.
At the end of the three months the entire
back had been brought within the cir
cumference of pain, and the woman’s
sufferings were terrible, hut this was as
nothing to what she had vet to undergo.
Whatever the cause of the pain, it gradu
ally got a better and stronger hold on tho
nerves and muscles of tho body, and spread
to the chest and abdomen. When the entire
trunk had became subject to its influence,
the woman had to be kept under the sooth
ing power of opiates, and when the effect
of the medicine would pass away she would
bo driven into a delirious stato by the hor
rible sensation. The pain started in tho
back and passed around the bcxlj’, and the
woman felt as if sho was being consumed
by fil e.
THE HEART BECAME AFFECTED.
It beat feebly, and would palpitate in a
distressing manner at the feast exertion.
Air going into the lungs appeared to be red
hot, and the respiration was alternately
above and below tho normal. Above the
waist the flesh was covered with a cold
sweat, while the legs were dry and hot, and
frequently of a deathiv pale color. There
was no such thing as digestion. Whatever
food was given, no matter how simple it
might be, it gave rise to great distress, aud
was passed from the body hut little changed
in character.
Before the patient was taken to the hospi
tal she had been seen and examined by a
number of physicians, who could not make
any sure diagnosis of the case. About all
tho drugs that are known to act upon the
nerves were given to the jioor woman. She
steadily grew worse. The pain area kept
on increasing until the legs, arms and head
were racked with excruciating pain, and
when it filially extended to the head the en
tire body was involved. The pain was al
ways present, but at times there were vio
lent spasms, so strong and intense that the
muscles appeared as if they would be torn
from the bones. A little neuralgic pain in
the head will often make lunatics out of
people. Can any one imagine what must he
the feelings of a person whose whole body is
the seat of
ONE INTENSE PAIN?
Think of a toothache being magnified a
thousands times in quantity. Dr. Keane,
the consulting surgeon of St. Elizabeth
Hospital, heard of the strange case, and
hail the patient removed to the hospital,
whore the development of the malady
could lie (dosely watched. As the pa
tient was being carried from her room a
lighted lamp was overturned and exploded.
Some of tho oil was thrown on tho woman’s
legs, and burned them slightly. This mis
fortune, while it added to the suffering of
tho patient for a time, in the end proved to
lie tho most fortunate tiling that, could have
hapjiened, as it led to the discovery of some
thing that could give her relief and possibly
cure her.
When the effect of tho burn hod passed
away the jmtient said tlint in that particu
lar liart of the log there was no pain. This
set l)r. Keane to thinking, and he came to
the conclusion that the woman might lx
benefited by disturbing the relations and
structure of the superficial muscle by heat,
lie had an instrument made, something iu
the sha)x:, though smaller than a curry
comb, which could be flattened or rounded
at will by a set-screw. The surface of the
instrument was thickly studded with needles,
and fitting so that it could be adjusted to a
galvano-cautery Ixittery.
The plan of operation was a simple one.
The patient was given ether simply to dull
the senses, and not render her thoroughly in
sensible, us her heart would not stand it.
The needles were placed u|x>n tho thigh, and
forced into the flesh a short distance by pres
sure. The wound was allowed to bleed for
a while. Then a button was touched, the
electric current ran through the wires, and
tho needles were made white-liot in a second.
There was a hissing and sputtering, and tho
needles were
SUNK DEEPER INTO THE FLESH.
About half an inch was considered suffi
cient. The heat was applied until the flesh
was well burned, and then the needle* were
withdrawn. They were applied in several
other places on the thigh near each other,
and the experiment was ended for the time
being. The lh*sh was very sore afterward,
and it was fully a week before any result
was obtained. Tho patient decland that
the twitching pain had left the burned place*,
though it still existed around them. Tlie
course {minted out was plain. The whole
body must lx) subjected to tlie torture of
burning to relieve the torture from some
unknown cause. And it was, or that is, it
lias nearly all been so treated up to the pres
ent time, and the result has lieen most grati
fy ing. Tlie pain has been reduced to such
an extent that tlie woman actually enjoys
the few sores on her body from tne burns
and desires the operation to ls> s|iee,ed. But
the work must go on slowly to keep tlie shock
down, and It will be several wivks before
the burning pnxs-x* will lx finished. The
face will lie t reaps I last, and will only be
lightly touched with the needle* to prevent
soars. The Indications now point, in the
opinion of the attending surgeon, to a cer
tain cure of a strange case. In which the
method of euro was {minted out by an acci
dent.
