I Mrs. Nelly Archer wan one of | the prettiest little widows that ever ! looked fascinating in the flutter of black ribbons and transparent crape; yet somehow, no one was | ever jealous of the affectionate, warm hearted, beautiful young wid ow.

You couldn’i, help wonder ing what people did in the benight ed times before Mrs. Archer came on the stage of life, so indispensible did she seem t r . human comfort. So, of course, the very evening of the day that Mildred Wilton be came engaged to Henry Forrest she came up through the evening twilight, with incense of flowers scattered on her path and tiny firefly lamps hung in the bushes to illumine her way, to tell Nelly ! about it. It was just us natural as a ninrwi of purity I thinking aloud. ! “I love, you dear, foolish thing 1” said Mrs. Archer, laughingly im prisoning Mildred’s fluttering hands and looking archly under the down-sweeping fringes of her timid eyc9.

The moon, which hail heemi mil- row slit, of pearl when Henry For rest first whispered his love into Mildred's willing ear, was now on the wane, and poor Mildred was crying on Mrs. Archer’s shoulder. ‘•llow, dearest?” said Nelly, stroking the dark, disheveled locks, while she pressed her cool cheek against Mildred’s burning forehead. “He is grave and self-absorbed,” icplied Mildred; “and when ho looks at ine it is with a pitying glance, and two or three times some unbroken sentence has quiv ered on his lips. Nelly, do you suppose—can It be possible that lie has censed to love me ami wishes to be released from our engage ment. ?” “Not a bit of It, love,” saitl Nel ly; ‘'don't distress your dear little lioatl: it will all come right, I am sure. You know that financial af fairs arc in a very critical stale Just now.and all business men arc neces sarily anxious." Do you think that is all ?”raur- mcretl Mildred, gradually hashing her sobs, and drawing closer to her comforter, as a child distressed by sorrowful dreams clings to its soothing nurse. “Of course it is,” said Nelly. “Anti now, love, it is growing late, and 1 must send you home. Uo by the upper path Miltlretl; it is less damp than the road along the river side.” What possessed her to set out by the river side, in spite of Mrs. Archer’s warning? Perhaps be cause that way was nearest—be cause the finger of Fate was in the thing; for as she approached a dense mass of silver birch woods that skirted the road the sound of low voices made her start behind the trees with an uneasy consciousness that she was not alone. The tones came nearer, and as the speakers emerged into the uncertain moon light trout the shadowed place where the road wound through a deep glen, her heart stood still with horror. She knew the promenad es well. Was this the reason that Nelly hail desired Her to go by the willow path ? Oh, false friend and recreant lover? No need to ask why Henry was changed. “Nelly, you are an angel! What j should i do without you ?” she I biard him say, as they paused at i the path that led to Mrs. Archer's j home. Nelly shook her head, laughingly j that shaded Mildred’s tear stained 1 ! eyes, and looked lovingly into her face. “Why, what’s tho matter? You have been crying! Well, I suppose I musn’t ask any questions. I came, little one, to ask you if you would allow me to fix Thursday week for our weeding day ?” “My wedding day will never come, Henry Forrest,” returned Mildred, controlling her agitation by a strong effort. “I rclonse you from your engagement from this moment.” “What do you mean ?”exolaimed Henry. “Release me! but I wont be released !" “Do not let us prolong this inter view,” said Mildred, tremulously; “ I was accidentally at the river side last night and witnessed the part ing between you and Mrs. Archer.” “Well, what of it ?” said Henry, still in a state ot bewilderment. "Nothing,” faltered Mildred, al most inaudibly; “only if I had known earlier that your affections were transferred from me to Mrs. Archer I should the sooner have set you free from ail allegiance to me." She broke down here, the poor little heroine, and burst iuto a pas sion. “My darling Mily,” exclaimed Henry, ns if a sudden light had broken in on his perplexity, “will you hear my explanation? Mrs. Archer made me promise secrecy, Imt she could never have foreseen these circumstances. My affec tions have been securely placed be yond my keeping ever since I saw one Miss Mildred Wilton. 1 never dreamed of transferring them, and couldn’t if 1 were to try. lint dear est Milly, since our engagement 1 have Decomo a comparatively poor man, though the failure of imisness men with whom 1 was directly in volved, anti 1 trembled lest it should be my duty to ask you to give me up: for, Milly, I could not ask you to rnary a beggar.

Hut 1 cun tell you whom she docs love—your brother Achlcy, who is doaply ns jealous of our business interviews as your self. They me now over,Milly,and I' shouldn't wonder if we had two weddings one of these days.” Mildred Wilton cried again up- no her lover’s strong, manly breast; hut they were no bitter tears. Nor could she rest until she hud con fessed cvcything to Nelly Archer, who, being a merciful lady, kissed and forgave her in the same breath. As Henry Forrest had foretold, there was a double wedding in the old village church; and Mrs. Ash ley Wilton, in her soft, white bridal robes, was even prettier than Nelly Archer, the widow, hail been.

Caulkins is well re membered in Rochester as having been connected with various busi ness enterprises. Fora short time before his departure from Roches ter he acted as business manager for what is known as tho Craig Specific Medicine Co. After sev ering his connection with that company lie accepted an engage ment with the Craig Kidney and I.ivcr Cure Co. at a salary of $2,- 000 a year, to introduce tho o>m- pany's medicines in Boston. Soon after his arrival in that city, It is alleged, William R. Burrows, of Alltion, who wns a stockholder in the company wns induced to go to Boston and associate himself with Caulkins in that branch of the business. William R. Burrows,who, if may be staled here, now lies at the point of death in Boston, ns alleg ed, from slow arsenical poisoning, is a son of the late RohwcII Bur. rows, of Albion, who died five years ago leaving a fortune various ly estimated at from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000. Four executors were named tu the will of the late Ros well Burrows, one of whom, Albert S. Warner, of Albion, now has the sole management of the .estate. It is important to note as bearing upon the tacts which remain to be related that under the will the es tate must remain undivided until after the death of the widow of the testator. The executors arc di rected to reserve tho interest upon one third of the estate for the use of the widow ard divide the inter est upon the remaining two thirds among the four heirs of the testa tor or among thcirchildren. Thus, it will be sten, William R. Burrows lias been entitled to receive one- sixth ol the net income of tho es tate. When the Crnig Kidney nnd Liver Cure Co. was organized Al bert S. Warner, executor of tho Burrows estate, took stock himself anti provided money for Burrows to do the same. Whether Burrows went to Boston of his own accord seems to lie a disputed point. At any rale Burrows put considerable money into the Boston business and fitted up olllccs in hnndsoinc style. Caulkins witli his salaiy of $2,00G a year lived quite luxurious ly and Burrows was always a wel come visitor nt his home. In a short time Calukins gained Bur rows’confidence, nnd, it is nil ogod, soon hail him under complete cor trol. Burrows ntldcd a codicil to a will previously mndc by him nam ing Caulkins ns his executor. It is said too that the lultcr wns remem bered in a generous bequest. Caulkins was also given power of attorney to transact Burrows’ busi ness. From lime lo time Burrows was invited to the Caulkins house, geni ally to ten, It is claimed that oil several occasions after eating he was seized with vomiting, and com plaining of burning in his stomach. He also said several times that lie felt a stillness in his hands and feet, fit March last, so the story goes, Mrs. Caulkins gave a party ut which Burrows wns one ol tho guests. Ha appeared to be in bet ter health and spirits than usual. The guests enjoyed nn elaborate supper, Burrows with the rest. Shortly a leer supper Burrows was seized with a violent lit of vomit ing. lie was compelled to accept a henl in the Caulkins house, from which lie has never risen. Burrows’ relatives in Albion were not Informed of bis sickness until bis colored servant, who goes by the name of “Jim,” wont down to Virginia to get married some weeks ago. lie informed some of Burrows' relatives in Richmond of the latter's condition. Word was sent to Mrs. Sluwart, of Albion, nnd she went to lioston without delay,accompanied by Air. Warner. They found Burrows nt Caulkins’ house—a hopeless paralytic, To all appearances he was rcciving the host of care at the hands of Mrs. Caulkins, who would permit no one (nil VI.111., f.t Tli . 1..^ .Iin.ilj I., f*,,.!

I physicians in Boston were in at tendance, and finally gave the name o( two of them. Judge Bur rows immediately eet. out to call on physicians. The first one told him that lie bad not seen Will Bur rows in nine months. The other physician was found in West Jfew. ton, whore he had a small drug store. Judge Burrows’suspicions were in a measure confirmed, and he immediately called Dr. Warner, one of the leading pbyeioians of Boston. The latter at onee arrived at the conclusion that something was wrong and summoned two mere physicians in counsel. It is stated that Mr. and Mrs. Caulkins appeared very nervous add that one of them gratuitously offered the suggestion that bo might have inhaled arsenic from the wall-paper. Tho West Newton doctor was call ed ,in appeared mneb surprised to see the other doctors in attend ance. He said, according to re port tho patient was suffering from enlargement of the liver, and that lie had been giving him biemnth. An examination failed to show any liver trouble. Indeed, Dr. Warner said that it the liver was in an ab normal condition it was dried up rather than enlarged. The physicians gave directions to the mala nurses who were at that time employed to preserve some of the patient's vomit for examina tion. Fo.r a number of days the doctors were unable to get it, and when nu explanation was asked, it is said, Mrs. Caulkins offered va rious excuses. Finally Mrs. Stew art was directed lo see that some of tho vomit was saved to be sub jected to a chemical test. Mrs. Caulkins, it is ssid, tried to pre vent Mrs. Stewart from following the doctor's directions, but was un successful. Alter considerable de lay a chemical examination of the vomit was made, and it is said the presence of arsenic was dotectcd. The case was reported to tho prosecuting attorney in Boston and about ten days ago was presented to tlie grand jury. Air. and Mrs, Caulkins, it is reported, urged so strongly that Burrowa might have inhaled arsenic from the wail-paper in tlie room he occupied that some of tlie paper was subjected to a chemical test by directions of tbe prosecuting attorney. No arsenic was discovered, however. About this time the West Newton doctor came to the rescue, it is said, with the statement that tho bismuth he had administered to Burrows might have contained areenie. Indeed lie had made an examination of some bismuth and had found arse- nic in considerable quantities. Chemical analysts of bismnth pur chased at the various stores where the supplies for Burrows had been obtained were made, but no arsenic was found. A largo number of witnesses were called before the grand Jury, among whom was Dr. Charles Craig, of this city, who was famil iar with the business relations ex isting belwen Caulkins and Bar- rows. The grand Jury adjourned aomo days since without finding an indictment against Mr. or Mis. Caulkins. It is understood to be Mr. Warner’s intention to probe the case to the bottom, and if Bur rows lias been poisoned to bring tbe guilty persons to justice. Shortly after tbe airival of Air. Warner and Mrs. Stewart in Bos ton, it is said, Burrows revoked the power of attorney previously given by bim to Caulkins and de stroyed the codicil to bis will by which Caulkins was named aa ex ecutor. Some time ago Caulkins com menced proceeding against Warner as executor of the Burrows estate, and recently obtained a court order at Albion directing him lo ffle an inventory of the estate and an ac counting. This Air. Warner is wil ling enough to do, notwithstanding tlie fact that the will of tbe late Roswell Burrows expressly directs that uo inveutory of the property he filed until after the death of the widow. A special dispatch received at thisoflice last night states that Bur rows is still alive. A ilK.tr.RAI, DENIAL. Last night’s Union contained a general denial by Mr. Caulk ins of the Herald's allegations. He pronounces them maltciouly lalsc ami libelous, and says he will seek redress at the bands of the courts for the injustice done him. Governor Cleveland's worldly possessions consist of only $6,000 worth of persons! property. He has no real estate. This disposes of a recently circulated story to the effect that bo was posseted of a fortune of $100,000 upon a greater p»rt|of which he paid no Uses.
