A RUINED FAMILY. The Career of Rdward Stiles Stokes =n=ilis Relatives and Vielims, £ Sod Tale of Domestic Shame and Serrow. "Tho other day, thero gat by our elbow fn T Tuinuse editorial yoom young man stainel with n deliberato crimo, whoso conroquences, if pursued, would land him in the Ponitontisry, Ho had no defouce for his guilt, But tho cnso was ouo surrounded with circumslances which mado it the intorest of other parties to wavo rather than prosecuto him, and he wag anxious to clogo all tho nows channely ngainet exposnre, 1o made o touching appeal in bholinlf of his fathor and mothor, his wifo and children. “I'hink how you will plunge all my relativos in griof]” This ssmo appeal is ofton made by those overtakon In wrong-doing. What ia more Irreesatiblo than (ho direct counter-appenl : “ Young man, why did you not think of dhem yourself 7 Why ask sirangors to ho moro morcifal to fhoso lovod onos than ho, the only ono who could have eaved them? Tho eaddost” of all foatures in a1l tho cnses on the ealendar of wrong-dolng is tho undesorved sufforing of tho innocont ones who sit griof-stricken u tho penumbra of agrent crimo, Tho offender calculatod his chnnces, took tho risk, and saw tho cloud above his head. They, on tho contrary, in many-eases, receivo tho bolt out of o clear sky. No smnll partof tho accumulated guilt of most eximinals is this autecedent utter disrogard of tho tendor house- hold tics that should Lold thom in the way of right, iustead of which thoy aro kept coiled on Doardns n last resort in caso of shipwreck. Without furthor moralizing, Wo hrve thought that, thongl tho task is no gratoful ono, the ca- reor of Edward §. Btokes, now under sentenco of donth for tihe murder of Jamoa Fislk, may bo fully givon ss flustrating how doop- ly o grest crimo strikes among -tho innocent victims, and that wealth, culture, and standing ero no suro safeguard against tho snd- dest vicissitudes of lhuman oxperionce. Itis rare that a reference of this kind includes suffor- ors of like high prominence, for thore arone betternames in Now York or Philadolphin than thoso borno by persons strickon in this catas- trophe. In the yonr 1838, Edward IT. Stokes, o succoss- . ful cloth morchant of Now York, and nearly con- neeted with somo of the most prominent repre- sentatives of tho wealth and bonoficonco of that city, rotired from businoss with o handsomo competency. Eight yoars previously o had married o Miss Stiles, o daughter of a leadin, Philadotphian, and, secling o Lomo of qaso a elegance, Mr. Stokes choso Philadelphin as his future residenco, Thero lis oldeat son wasbern in 1830, and namod Edward Btiles, nf- ter o matornal relative, ~Tho lnd was o boy of unusnal beauty and promiso, a quicl, activo ruind, o gonorous and loving din- pogition,—theso traits being romemberod woll after the lapso of yoars by thase who knew him at that time, Two daughtera and iwo other gons wore born in the poriod betweon 1840 and 1850, 'Che femily is recalled as_heing rarely endowed with all that scemed needed to insure tho happiness of ¢ Liouschold. Tho homo was gmt of wealth and luxury, the culture of tho Himard wos oducntoll at tho Tniversity, and took high rank as o scholar, Ho went to New York ot tho age of 17, to enter into the storo of Suwuel Perry, on South Water atroot, an oxton- pive cheeso denler. Perry failed throo years later, nud young Btolkes made o now partnorshij with’ o janior of tho collapaed houso, an they, a8 Stokes & _Budlong, opeood » cheeso ntore on Vesoy streot. They had oxcollent succoss, their foroign shipping -trade bLeing very large, calling Stokes to visit Europo several times within tho next fow sea- sons. About this timo the senior Stoltes was in- duced to remave to New York, where ho mado his oflico with _bis gon, though' not nrighmu{] i tonding to become entanglod in businoss. Such +was the result however, and nob ouly wero the fatbor,but otuer and prontinent wealthy relativos, gradunlly bug heavily involved in the extonde Ventures of Stokes & Budlong. Tho failuro of thio firm followed, and fatherand son wero thrown into bnukruptey. With the wrack of his fortunes young Stolea cembarked noxt in the onterprise of establishin, an oil refinery at Hunter's Point. Three hundred thousaud dollars wero exponded in the works, which wero to bo of tho bost clasu, when the company fell into difficulties, and at this juncture the baleful light of Jim Tisk’s countenance comes into the story. Jim was in the full tide of his operations with Erie. Ho held the ad: antago (wo wish it woro loss employed by oven more scrupulous railway man- ngers than ho), pupplied Ly his corporation, in transportation and control of markot, ns tho Lrie was tho great thoroughfaro to the oil regions. A compict was struck. Figk ontorod tho ro- finery company, reinforced its capital, and with achango of nome ond heavy *drawbacks” on the Evio froight bills, tho Huntor's Ioint r finory eailed strongly into successful compoti- tion. Btokes was Becrotary as well as partner. At ong time his profits from the rofinery gave Lim 31,000 per woels, In 1864, Stokes married tho daughtor of J, W. Southwick, o prominent furniture dealer in Now Youli, ono of the oldest In i lino in that city. A chort timo sinco one of onr oldest residents showed us a sot of furpituro, a wedding outflt brought to Chicago in 1836, bought of A, South- wick, who is now o men of immenso wenlth, and still in active businoss in n gront Broadway os- tablishment, Tho wedding of Stokos with Misa Southwick scomed to Inck nothing that wenlth, poeitions, aud social mlrrn\ludiufis could bring to insuro’ happinoss, Thoy made thoir sump- tuous Lomo in tho Hoffman House, and moved anlong the most brillinut life of tho motropolis. ‘I'ho noxt scone in tho dramna brings the infa- mous woman Mansficld into the plot. Solomon deecribed her muny conturics ago, and we fenr Bolomon kuew what ha wau writing about, Bub his painting hns nover beon surpussed, and if somchody could have slipped into Stokos' mind this little pen-portruit, mado two thousand years ngo, of Josephing Munstiold aud hor infainous pintors, it wmight bavo spared commuuity tho fruits of the now acquaintanco, —Hero aro someo of the wico man's colminga of his subject : Shelicth o walt as for o proy, und ncreasetl {ho tranegressions smong men.

It was car- ried iuto alfuirs of business, Tiek refused to allow tho Iluntoy's Doint concern to make n dividend, and thus cut off Stokes' supplics, Tho dikgracaful relation with Munsfield becamo moro shameless, and tho father-in-law, Southwiel, sont his daughter and hor child to Europo early n 1871, to romovo her from tho scone of tho seandal, Stokes, enraged at Fink, usod his posi- tion aa Beeretary Lo colleet £80,000 from Devoe, au oil morchant, which sum ho hold openly aud deflantly ng his share of the profits, Fisk caused biis arrout on o criminal charge, Stokes turnod to his wenlthy rolatives. ~No ono of thein would bail him, and ho was forced to annke torms and submit, and refund tha money. 1lis relations to Iisk weroe bitter, und out of the intensity of tho ovil pasgiond and eriminalitics of Lig position with Munstield grow murder, Turn to Solomon ngain, and lioro % no myatory in the chain of Hoquonces.
