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.

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. . Plain Talk.
