! THE SAD STORY OF MRS.
WHE TMORE.
The Wetmore-Anglesey affair con
tinues to engross public attention, and
having been introduced to Lady Albert
Clinton lately at the house of a mutual
friend I have profited by my slight ac
quaintance to obtain some information
regarding the melancholy affair. After
a few general remarks about the rumors
which were in circulation. "May I
ask," I said, 'if you are in possession
ol Lord Anglesey's letters to Mrs. Wet
more ?"
"No," she replied, "they are in the
hands of her lawyer, Mr. Gardiner, of
the Champs Elysees. They are all
couched in terms which convey the
idea that his Lordship had the most
passionate affection for Mrs. Wetmore,
and in no less than seven of them he
declared that he would marry her the
moment she got a divorce from her
husband. I have even in my possession
a ring which he gave her in the first
days of last month." [Her Ladyship
here went and brought in a small bas
ket containing among other effects of
the deceased lady, a plain gold ring,
bearing the following inscription on
the inside: "To Annie, from Angle
sey, June 4, 1880."] Lady Albert
Clinton then continued: "Mrs. Wet
more came to Europe about three years
ago with her son, a lad about 13 years
of age. I think she met Lord Angle
soy for the first time in Spain. When
she left America she had no idea of
permanently separating herself from
her husband, of whom she always
spoke with remorse, but Lord Angle
sey turned her head by promising to
marry her if she got a divorce. This
took time, so much time that he got
tired of his bargain and deserted her
as soon as she had broken loose from
the only real tie which bound her to
life and affection for her child. She
was handsome, affectionate and confid
ing. Poor dear, she was so faithful to
Anglesey and believed in him so entire
ly. You know he lived on the Avenue
Kleber, occupying separate apartments
in the same house. Three days before
her death she said, speaking of her hus
band, 'Henry was always kind to me,
but we had nothing in common. We
were not made to live happily together.
He was much too religious for me, and
was never satisfied unless I went to
church all day Sunday; but he was a
good, kind man. I never ought to have
left him. My fate should be a warning
to American women who come abroad
without their legitimate protectors.'
But she rarely gave way to these re
morseful feelings, for she loved Angle
sey to distraction. Her last meeting
with him was on Sunday, June 20.
He told her he had to go to London on
business. She said to him, with a sort
of instinctive feeling, 'You will be true
to me, Henry, and come back as quick
ly as you can V He replied that he
loved Ler as much as ever and parted
from her with every demonstration of
affection, although he knew that he
had written her a letter, dated the l!)th,
the day before, in which he bade her
farewell forever, and gave her to under
stand that all was at an end between
them. This letter was handed to her
next day by Mr. Stone, Lord Angle
sey's secretary, and it drove her almost
to madness. It was then that I brought
her to my house, for sh. bad no friends
here, and in the letter to which I have
just referred, Lord Anglesey gave her
to understand that she must leave her
apartments and write no more than one
letter to him. To this she wrote a re
ply of a most touching character, in
which she appealed to the Marquis'
manhood. 'Remember,' she said, 'all
I have lost for you. Can you expect
that Ood will prospef you or yours
when you are capable of such a dread
ful wrong?' In another passage she
says, 'can it be possible that you have
no conscience or feeling, or that you, a
nobleman, arc willing to turn me out
penniless into the world after all your
promises, to say nothing of your pre
tended affection up to the week before
your marriage ?'"
I was next shown a number of let
ters from Lord Anglesey, authenticated
by his family coat of arms. They were
all couched in the most endearing terms
commencing with "My lovely Anna,"
"Mv dearest," and closing with extrav
agant assurances of undvinglove.es
teem and fidelity. Seven of these let
ters, Lady Albert Clinton said, and
Mrs. Wetmore's lawyer assured me,
contain explicit and unequivocal pro
mises of marriage, and cover a period
of nearly three years. When it was
announced that the Marquis had mar
ried Mrs. Wodehouse, Mrs. Wetmore's
lawyer, who knew all the circumstan
ces, urged that a suit for breach of
promise should be instituted.
The deceased took no interest in all
this, tho idea of death engrossing her
mind from tho moment she heard of
Lord Anglesey's marriage. Every ef
fort was made to calm her was vain,
and she paced up and down her room
the image of despair. This lasted un
til Wednesday morning, when on en
tering her apartment, Lady Albert
Clinton found her in the last agony,
with eyes glaring, hands clinched and
face so distorted that she was hardly
recognizable. Tho servants were im
mediately stint for medical aid, but it
was 10 o'clock before a doctor could be
found Every effort was then made to
save the poor sufferer, but in vain ; she
writhed in dreadful torture until about
3 o'clock, when she breathed her last.
When the Marquis beard of the melan
choly event he sent word through his
lawyers that he would contribute £SO
toward the expenses of the funeral
Tho burial lot alone at St. Germain
cost £4O. The deceased was a lady of

well.

THIS YEAR'S FRUIT CROP.
"Taking the season right through,"
said a prominent fruit importer aud
produce dealer, "the crop of both
foreign and domestic fruit is large, the
quantity very good and the demand
unprecedented. Of course some fruit
is not as good as that imported in
former years, while the crop of another
kind is much smaller than last season,
but take the season as a whole and it
will prove one of the most prosperous
we have ever had."
The banana crop is remarkably large
and the quality unusually fine. The
importations to Philadelphia are al
ready in excess of last year by fiftv
per cent:, while the demand is double
that of any previous year. This in
crease in the consumption of bananas
is attributed by the importers to the
introduction of the fruit more generally
among the public than ever before and
to its cheapness as a luxury. They
assert that of late the banana has been
sold in the interior country towns and
villages, where it bad scarcely ever
been seen before, and at such a low
rate that it become a serious opposi
tion to the sale of peaches. Although
the crop is unusually large there has
been no glut in the market, as the de
mand has increased in proportion to
the supply.
TUE BANANA, PINEAPPLE AND COCOA
NUT.
Since Friday last a single firm in
this city imported 22,000 bunches, and
so promtp was the demand for them
that not over 5,000 bunches remain
unsold. Those that the regular fruiter
and confectioner regard as too ripe and
not fit to keep on hand and which
must be consumed immediately are
easily disposed of to hucksters, who
find ready sale for them at low prices.
The prices during the season rauge
from $ 1 to $4 per bunch, according to
the quantity and condition of the fruit
and to the size of the bunch. At the
present time a bunch bearing ten or
twelve dozen commands $1.75. Dead
ripe fruit, which must be sold imme
diately to avoid total loss, is sold to
hucksters for 50 and 75 cents per
bunch. As regards pineapples, the
crop this season was unusually light,
being only about one-third as large as
that of last season. This is due to the
prolonged drought in the West Indies,
which prevented a second and third
cutting of the fruit. To those who
are not posted upon the development
of the pineapple it may be better to ex
plain this state of its growth. The
fruit grows upon low bushes and each
bush usually bears three apples, one
being in the centre, with the others,
one either side, on outer branches.
The centre apple ripens before the
others and is therefore cut before the
others have ripened. The drought
this season only allowed one pineapple
on each bush to ri|>en, and as a conse
quence there were no second or third
cuttings. This fact of course reduced
the crop to about one-third the size of
last year's. The present supply is not
equal to the demand and the prices
rule good and firm. Throughout the
season the prices alternate between
$lO and 14 per one hundred and at
present small but fair fruit finds ready
sale at sl2.
If such a thing as a glut in cocoa
nuts were possible it would have
taken place several weeks since, for
nearly ten million of these nuts have
reached Philadelphia this season.
Such a large crop was never known
before, and one firm here, which has
imported six million nuts alone, re
marked yesterday: "We have im
ported two hundred per cent, more
tban ever before." This rapid increase
in importation is mainly due to the
increased demand for tho cocoanut for
a hundred different uses. Nearly
every day some new preparation, coin
posed in part of the cocoanut, appears
in the market and in nearly every in
stance commands a ready sale. Dur
ing the season the prices range from
S3O to SSO |>er 1,000, but at present
they can be had for S3O.
PEACHES, APPLES AND BERRIES.
The peach season is yet in its in
fancy, but by the middle of August a
glut in the market may be expected,
as the indications from Delaware and
Maryland point to a liberal crop.
During the past two weeks South
ern fruit, from Virginia, the Carolinas
and Georgia, has been received in
small quantities, and, as is always the
case with early fruit, the leading hotels
got them at fancy prices. Since the
10th instant small shipments of Dela
ware and Maryland peaches have been
received, but the first real large con
signment to this market will arrive to
day. The crop is two weeks earlier
this season than usual, and the supply
will, of course, be exhausted just that
much sooner ;■ so when the fruit has
fairly commenced to come in those
who intend to buy bad better not bold
off, for if they do they will run tho
risk of not getting any. As regards
the quality of the present year's peach
it must be said that it is somewhat
small, although some dealers say the
later fruit will be up to the standard.
The crop is smaller that of 1875, but
fully twenty-five per cent, larger than
that of last year. Those now arriving
will mdl for one dollar per basket for
good and fifty cents for ordinary, but
in ten days' time the market will be
overstocked and prices will bo made
by the public.
Throughout tho country tho apple
crop is reported large, especially in
New York State, which supplies the
world with the largest and sweetest
apples grown. In and around Penn
sylvania the crop is a very good aver
age one, being somewhat larger than
that of last season. The local crop,
however, is known as the summer a|»-
ple and is now in the market, but the
winter apple and tho one generally
known as the eating apple, and which
comes from New York and the East,
does not make its appearance until Sep
tember and October.
They are designated as tho Fall Pip
pin, King, Greeney, Spitzenberger,
Baldwin, etc. Those now in tho mar
ket, which sell from $1.50 to $2.50 per
barrel, aro the Strawberry, Maiden's
Blush and others.
The strawberry aud raspberry crop
this season was uuusuallv light, owing
to the dry weather in May and June,
and as a result the packers expeiienced
great difficulty in buying enough to
prepare for the usual winter demand
for preserves, although they offered
much larger prices than ever before.
Huckleberries, however, are plentiful
and of good quality and are sold at low
prices.— Philadelphia Times, Jnly 27.
BETRAYED CODFIDENCE.
When a bank president defaults or a
railroad corporation goes into bank
ruptcy, the whole country is in a tu
mult of excitement, and anxious to
learn the result; but when an unscrup
ulous guardian or villainous executor
has trumped up a false account against
the estate, and rendered the widow
homeless and wards penniless, there i 3
no one to say a word or raise a hand
in their defense. There was a time when
trustees could be relied upon without
bond or guarantee, but now the statute
books are full of laws to enforce the
commission of trusts and to secure the
ends of the trustee's appointment, and
yet the unwary scoundrel gjes half un
whipped of justice. A man, dealing
only with the ordinary affairs of life
and within the scope of his own enter
prise, seldom portrays either of the
good or bad phases of bis character;
but when a trust is confided in him
which calls forth the exercise of all his
private virtues, he is thrown into a.cru
eible which sooner or later will deter
mine the true quality of his metal. A
A villainous executor or guardian will
be sure to entrap himself. He may be
shrewd in manipulating accounts, and
practiced in the art of contracting and
expanding items to suit his own per
sonal advantage, yet his greedy appe
tite for gain and the chances to cover
up his villainy on the plea of ignorance
or forgetfulness, will lead him into the>
snare that the law will be sure to spring
upon him when he makes his final ac
count. A man who accepts a trust left
to him by his dying friend and then
abuses it and takes the money that be
was to faithfully distribute, to till his
own coffers, is worse than a thief or a
midnight robber ; against them we take
precaution of lock and key and bauk
and safe, but against a trusted friend
wo have only our coulideucc. How a
man can take upon himself a sacred
trust, and sit down in his own private
chamber and coolly and deliberately
frame a plan to rob a lonely widow and
cheat the helpless children out of their
estate is a problem in moral science
whose solution is fearful to determine.
The depths of degredation to which a
man must sink to render himself such
a fiend and monster is hard to be cal
culated, but it is certain that he is only
wanting the opportunities, with the
chances of escape, to commit the foulest
offense in the catalogue of crimes. It
would seem to any sensible person,
even if he considered virtue as a mer
chantable commodity, that the remem
brance of the honest confidence in his
dead friend's face would hnunt his si
lent chamber and palsy the coward fin
ders that made the false accounts until
he would be over-awed by the iniquity
of his villainous course, and forced to
"render unto Ca;sar the things that are
Cajsar's." But this" monster of vice
steels himself against the best moral
impulse of his depraved nature, seres
his conscience over the second time to
make it doubly callous, nerves himself
with false bravery to meet the eyes of
honest people, goes out on the streets
with the semblance of a man and palms
himself off as a respectable human be
ing, and no one knows the festering
mass of moral pollution he conceals in
his heart, until the eyes of the law re
veals the secret. For a few paltry dol
lars he forfeits all that is worth living
for. Because he had the opportunity
and believed ho would not lie detected
he puts his manhood under his feet and
tramps it into the mud, the pearls of his
honor he casts before swine and they
are destroyed, his integrity he barters
away for the gold in his pocket and his
fidelity he stabs with the weapon with
which he was to guard the interests of
his friends. But the homeless widow
and penniless wards are happier than
he. Gold cannot ease the pangs of
conscience or purchase the confidence
and sympathy of friends. What is life
without the respect of those around
you ? What a wide world we are liv
ing in when it is not walled with hu
man sympathy ? What a terrible iso
lation to be shut out from the regard of
all respectable people, and tread life's
narrow lane alone, with one's constant
ly accusing conscieucc the only moni
tor? Better stand before the world in
the majesty of your manhood, ragged
and penniless, than with pockets filled
with gold, crouching sneakingly
the highway of life with bowed head, lust
the eyes of the world read in your face
the secrets of your shame. The way
of the transgressor is hard, ami when
thoughts the dying have shall come
and the sun of his life is setting in the
west, the clinking of the gold falsely
withheld from the Widow and child
will sound a requiem on his leaden ears
like the wail of lost souls.

THE EIMPKMIC AT ADAMS, MASS.—
The epidemic at Adams, Mass., has
finally been traced to the water sup
ply. Kngineer Locke made a map of
the town, indicating by red dots every
house where there was a case of sick
ness, and liy small circles every house
which escaped, covering both the vil
lage proper ami all the roads leading
out of it. Afterward ho drew the line
of the water pipe on his map, and
everywhere the dots stop with the
pipe and follow its course. He cites
numerous instances to prove that the ,
water was t'ie sole cause of the trouble, <
and shows that nearly everbody who
was pointed out as not usinj; the
town water, although sick, had been
in the district and drank the water.
He locates the impurity in an old mill
dam through which the water passes,
and says ho found it full of decaying
vegetable matter which gave forth an
offensivo oder preceived at some dis
tance from the pond. That, he thinks,
was sufficient to cauno the outbreak,
in connection with the peculiar weath
er which had prepared the people for
the epidemic. ]

A SUIT WITH A ROMANCE
BALTIMORE, July 26.
There is uow pending in the courts
of Ohio a suit involving several mil
lions of dollars in real estate, and
which, besides bringing some of the
most prominent men in the country,
including President Haves, Chief
Justice Waite, Judge Tilden nnd oth
ers, forward as contestants, has an in
tensely romantic history connected with
it, in which a Maryland family consti
tute the principal characters. The sto
ry, says the Baltimore Sun this morn
ing, is that some time in the year 1812
a Captain Ford, of this city, was mar
ried to one Lovey Buskirt, a widow,
formerly Miss Lovey Ward, of Somer
set county, Md. Shortly after his mar
riage Captain Ford is said to have left
Baltimore in command of a privateer,
which was captured by the British.
Captain Ford was taken captive and
placed iu Dartmoor Prison, where he
remained some time, but finally es
caped by tunneling his way out. He
went to Sweden and after the close of
the war returned to this city, having
been gone three years. On his return
he found his wife living in good style.
He also found that there was an addi
tion to his household in the person of
a lovely little girl, whom his neigh
bors said was the captain's and Mrs.
Ford's child, but whom some of their
most intimate acquantainces, it is al
leged, declared was an illegitimate child.
The captain and his wife, however,
claimed the child as their own offspring.
Captain Ford did not long remain in
active, but soon after his return fitted
out a slaver and made several trips to
Africa, landing his living cargoes in
this country at Charleston, Savannah
and sometimes in Cuba. Returning
home again bis wife is said to have be
come jealous of him. Captain Ford left
the house again and went West,
where he located a number of land
warrants, among which was one at the
Bndian block house, or fort, at the
mouth of the Maumce river, then
(1817) a wilderness, now the Bite of
the city of Toledo. It is over the own
ership of this property that the suits
are pending. Captain Ford, after an
absence of three years, came to Balti
more once more, but finding his wife
determined not to have anything to do
with him, he left, going to Mexico,
where he entered the navy of that
couutry and served as a lieutenant un
til 1822, when he died intestate. His
only kinspeople, so far as known, were
his wife, Lovey, his mother and sis
ters, living in one of the New Eng
land States, and his so-called child,
the little girl, whose name w»s Erne
line.
In 1833 or 1834 persons from the
West came here and commenced a
search for the heirs of Captain Ford.
To these persons it was alleged that
Mrs. Buskirt, or Ford, represented that
Emeline was the legitimate and only
child of Captain Ford, and selling her
dowry interest in the Toledo land to
them, she caused Emeline to convey
the fee, receiving for it a small sum of
money. There was living with Mrs.
Buskirt a sister named Elizabeth Ward,
who, it is claimed, begged Mrs. Bus
kirt to undeceive Emeline and to tell
her whose child she really was, so
that a fraud upon the purchasers of the
property might be prevented.
Meanwhile auother party, observing
the growing importance of Toledo, in
quired as to the title to Ford's proper
ty, then vacant and unenclosed. After
investigating to some extent Captain
Ford's life this second party came to
the conclusion that the captain had
left no legitimate children and so pur
chased the title of the property from
Captain Ford's mother and sisters. In
the course of time it happened that
Ben Wade got an interest in the prop
erty and sent some of his agents here
to see that the title was clear. These
agents found the marriage record of
Captain Ford and Lovey Buskirt in
the old St. Paul's parish record. After
a great deal of fighting in the Ohio
courts between the owners of the two
titles, the case was finally decreed in
favor of the Baltimore title, deposi
tions having been returned to the
court alleging that Elizabeth Ward
had sworn that Emeline was the legit
imate daughter of Captain Ford and
his wife Lovey.
About a year afterwards, however,
Elisabeth Ward, who was then married
to a man uained Johnson, and was liv
ing near Marion, a few miles from Cris
field, Somerset county, Md., saw an ac
count of tho decision in a Baltimore
paper, and was heard to doclare that a
irreat wrong had been committed, and
that she and she alone could right it.
To Mr. John 11. Ilandy, of this city,
and Mr. Hymao, a Western lawyer,
who called to see her, she refused to
disclose anything as to who the real
uareuts of the child were, but persisted
in saying that she had never said Em
eline was the daughter of her sister,
whereupon Mr. Ilyinan filed a petition
to set aside the decreee on the ground
that it was obtained by forged and
fraudulent testimony.
.Judge Tilden, a cousin of Samuel J.
Tilden, and tho principal person con
cerned, then brought suit to recover
possession of the pro|>erty lost by tho
decree, after which Judge Irving, of
this State, by special commission, took
testimony to siistuin the case. After a
great deal of hard and skillful work
Mr. Handy succeeded at last, in 1877,
in getting Mrs. Johnson, nee Elizabeth
Ward, to make a statement, in which
she acknowledges that Emeline was
her own daughter, the child of an Irish
sea captain who frequented Captain
Ford's house. To cover her sister's
disgrace Capt. Ford's wife had declar
ed to the world that Emeline was her
own child, and as such sho had lived
for many years. And so at last the
secret was disclosed. Emeline wad
inarr cd to a former captain of an oys
ter pungy, who is now living in this
city. 1 lor mother, Elizabeth Ward,
died at her houso, in Somerset county,
last year. Mrs. Buskirt has been
dead for mauy years. A great railway
depot has been built on tho Toledo
property under the Baltimore title, and,
it is said, nearly 300 dwellings. It
comprises almost all of tho fifth wird
of that city. A large num'ier of per
sons aro direct y or indirect y concerned
i in the case.
