THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUHURSDAY, JULY, 17, 1873 ON THE BOULEVARD. An Evenfhg- Drive and What ‘Was Seen. Where the Clnlcngn Yashionables Tako the Adr. Beantiful Women, Gallant. Men, and i Handsomo Equipages. Whon tho high priests of Lincoln Park nunited in tho boliof that to suspend the fast-driving or- dinatico on two aftornoons in the wook would tend to popularize the Lako Shoro drive as well 88 tho park, they . ovidontly understood what thoy were about. . Thero are not wanting con-~ eorvativo partion who rogarded the suspension ot any orditiance, n6 matter how trivial and un- necessary, a8 & concossfon to tho enoroschmonts of a very'bad spirit-on the patt of *tho boya." It seomod to them that it was virtuslly ncknowlodging that owners of fast horses had™ “rights * which every’ sedsiblo por- son knowa to be incorroct. Bat tho Park Commissloners thought thoy would give tho thonght a practical trial ; would allow fast driving, and uttorly condemn reckless driving ; aud tho ack accotdingly. 8o far tho oxperiment has boon a comploto succoss, - Thoro liave been no accidonts; no complaints.. Nobody has beon kept away on ac- count of dangor ; overybody hna boen able to on Joy tho rapture of n burat of spood ; and tho rog- ulations sro such that nobody is inconveniencod. If the Lako Shoro drivo has bonofited by the thoughtfulness of thé .Commissioners, why shotild not South Bidors meot with n similar ad- dition to their plossures, Tho question was o fair ono, and 6o Mr, Ohauncoy T, Bowen and his collesgues of the Bouth Park Commissioners consldered it. They answored it by following tho oxamplo of their brothren in obarge of Lin- coln Bark, sud oncounteréd the frowns of the consorvatives of the South Division, Itwas dan- gorous to suspend tho ordinance. It would drive Iadios and tho owners of modornto equipagos from the boulevard. . It.would work all mauner of unhoard-of ovils to all manuer of unheard-of pooplo. But it did not. ' Thoso who opposed allowing fast driving on Wodnosday ovening aro to Lo seon thore regularly, onjoying tho fun, sooing tho rost of tho world taklng in tho'air, and romarking at intorvals, that only ono city on tholcontinent could furnish such a spaotacle. o far as vehiclos are concorned, in' numbor and stylo, thereis no doubt that Now York City conn surpasa Chicago; bat tho oxcellenco of tho rondway, the beautios of the doublo rows of young trees gviing promise of futuro statoli~ noss and shade ; tho doublo lines of bluo grass turf that huvo ‘sprung up and boon fostorod within & fow months, and the animation and enjoyment . so - ovident in evory faco, Now York caanot olaim euperiority. Thore aro many who claim that tho Bouth Park Boulovard, with its two miles of ox- collent rond, and the roturn down Drexol avonue, will equal anything of tho kind in the world, as goon A the oln-trees grow s littlo largor. ‘There aro somo of our roadors—many of thom indeed—vwho aro uttorly ignorant of the bosutios of this drivo, and thoy slionld by all means go out there and givo their vordict a8 to the manner in which. tho Commissionors have {‘mrlurmnd thoir task: Lot them study the grand boulevard, and thon drive to tho south end of it through a healthy grove of troos, thence round to Droxel aveouo, and roturn by that boulevard.

A Woman’s Lifeless Form Almost En= tirely Devoured by Rats g and Maggots, From the New York Herald, July 14, A ghastly horror was uncarthed on the prem- inos 185 East Eighty-soventh sircet yostorday morning. Tho houso haa beon occupled for tha past fiv yoars by an elderly Indy, Miss Willats, ‘whono habits of "life wero most oxtraordinary, Hor noarest noighbors knew nothing of hor; somo of thom living noxt door to hor novor saw hor, and aho nover loft her house during the dny. Bho kopt no servant, apparently received no visitora and livod a sofitary and lonoly lifo, Ono man had boon in tho habit of goln% to hor houso, —n Mr. Byron Stuff, but his visits woero vory rars, and wore gonorally mado at night. Tho Inst timo Lo was kmown to como to the houeo waas about four wooks ago. Ha tried to got in at tho door, but cowld not, and, aftor m\mni,' n Joug timo, finally asked Mr. Bhooban, a Inwyer, who lives noxt door, to allow him to got to the rear of Miss Willet's promiscs through Mr. Bhoohan's houso. Mr. Bhechan did not soe tho propriety of this wish and would not comply with it, and Mr. Btuft wont away and has not boen seon near the honke sinco. * The lady bas not beon visiblo for about fivo woeks, and no light could bo discorned in the front or ronr of tho house duriug tho night. For sovoral days tho family of Mr. Shoohan has boon au- noyod by an offensiva odor, tho origin of whioh could not be aecertained. It procoeded from tho diraction of Miss Willot's house, and finall; ‘boecamo 80 offonsive that Mr. Bheohan informol tho polico. in ordor, i£ possiblo, to have tho mya- tory olucidated. Capt. Cluny dotailed some officors to make tho soarch, and yestordsy morning thoy camo to tho door of Miss Willott's house and en- doavored to gain admittanco. Thore waa no ro- sponso to thoir knocks, the houso boing as silont a8 a gravo, The officora found it necossary to forco open_tho front door, and, doing so, pro- cooded to the sccond floor back room. On en- tering, o most disgusting and offonaive odor grostod them; on making senrch thoy discov- orod tho dend body of Misg Willetts lying on the floor on her back, her head resting ngainst the leg of & piano which stood in tho cornor of the room. 'Thoy roported the facts to Capt. Chorry, who notified Coroner Herrman nnd his deputy, Dr, Josoph Cushman, who immediately repairo to the honso. On ontering the room Dr. Cushman found the body lying on the floor, as above doscribod; a numbor of rats wero seen running about tho room and away from tho body, which was found in o vory advanced atago of docomposition.. The head and nock were donnded of . flosh, oyidontly having boen eaten away by rate. . The. body was noarly alive with worms, death ‘ovidontly Laving taken place botweon four and fivo weoks ago. 'The room in which tho body was found was about 16 foot in longth by 12 foot. in width, no oarpet upon tho floor, tho furnituro inthe room being crowded into ono corner. Tho body was ordored to the Morguo, after which tho Coroner, his deputy, and thio officers mado s thorough senrch of tho premiscs. In the back parlor, on tho first floor, woro found a numbor of doods of favor of a Mr. J. Steiff, alao titlo doods, bank ‘books ebowing doposita for large amounta in the Mochanics and Traders' and othor banke; alfo &n envelope containing papors addrossed to Mr. Btoiff, 183 Bowory. Soveral trunks wero found to contain costly and ologant ladics’ wenring ap- parol, consisting of fur, &o. Lvorything in the *mnsn denotod negloct, ‘The furniture, which was mostly of ancient but elegant manufacturo, was covered with dust and cobwebs, Tu tho basoment honps of nshs, apparently tho ncenmulation of yours, were found stowod away in closots and on tho hearth. On_moking inquiries in tho_noighborhood regarding tho hfl:llu of doceased, it was learnod that she was a vary cccontric woman, raroly if over ventwring out in the daytime, but going sbroad to do her markoting and for tho tranenction of othor bueiness lato at_ night, alwn&'! going out veoiled and .studiously avoiding m'ur{body. Inquiry made of tho grocors in the vicmity re- yonled the fact that sho was in tho habit of buy- ing onough proyisions at once to lnst hor for rov- eral days. Among hor purchases ehe included both smoking and chowing tobacco, small por- tions of which wore found lying in difforont parts of tho rooms, 18 also &mall amounta of ‘money wrapped soparatoly in bits of papor. . From tho largo number of legal documents and pupors it in belioved that tho decoasod ywas tho exooutrix of the estato of Mr. Stieff and othors, "I'hero wore rumors afloat in the noighborhood that Lier doath had Leen caused by violonce, Lut, from an extornpl examination made by Dr. Cuslie ‘man, nothing could be soon to justity the snepi- cion, The Doctor will, however, malko a thor- ouglh post mortem examinntion af tho Morguo and ascortain, if possiblo, tho real cause of death. It was ascertained that tho owner of the houso ia o Mrs, Handly, rosiding at42 Elliotl placo, Brookiyn, and, ‘doubtless, she wiil bo ablo Lo throw aomo light upon the life and- charactor of {his occontric lady. Decoased, from papers ‘found in her room, is supposed tohave a nophew named Byron Btioff, whose residenco at presont is unknown. It was supposod from cortaln mysterious movemonts obsorvablo at times that the liouso of Miss Willott was tho rosort of conn- torfoitors or othor depredators on_tho public but no ovidenco of the kind has been shown, and ‘prnbubly Luas no foundation in fact. From the fact that thore was largo quantitios of music snd two pinnosin tho honso it is thought do- consed was o Indy of culture and rofiuement, but tho condition” of affairs within would show that sho was not a good housekeeper. A Iferald roportor procoeded to the house of tho unforlunato deceascd last night, and found it surrounded by & curious crowd. Tho oxcite- mont in the nelghborhood in regard to the oc- curronco was groat, and all kinds of stories were told to'account for Miss Willets' tragic fato. It was angorted that atrango noises had boon heard to proceed from tho hiouso Iate at night, and that mon hnd been seen entering the door at very un- songonsblo hours, for what purpose no one conld toll. Coupled with this is tho fact that the de- coased was in the habit of purchasing quantitics of tobaceo, aud it is scarcely probablo that this was intonded for her own uso, aud if not for hor own for whom could sha have boughtit? An- other S!m“in circuwstanco was that, though she was ovidontly & woman of moans, she kopt no eorvant, as if she wished to koop the manner of her lifo secrat, What misfor- tuno may havo driven hor to this unnaturat lifo, disappointmont in love or partial insanity, it is impossible to any ; but thore i6 & strango. almi- larity botwoen her caso aud that of tho strange Iadyin * Little Dorrit,"” who let hor rosidonco o to ruin and who nover abandoned her bridal dress from tho day when death intorposed and took away from_hor hor betrothod, who was killod on tho bridal morning. Migs WWillots may have boon misorly in hor habits, but if she was gho took a strango way of show'ng it by lotting costly furniture and elogant articles of virtu decay and rot for want of cleaning. What foundation thoro may bo for the story that couus torfoiters bad their hoadquartors in tho houso cannot bo ascartainod, but thore s & mi’utbri somenwhero which it is bo to hoped will be cleara up. Whon the roportor, after considorable difi- culty, gamned pormission to entor the house, the front door was opoued, aud with candlo in hond ho procecdod up-stairs, Thoro has boen no gas used in tho houso during the time that Miss Willots has beon its tenaut, and everything was dark as & dungeon. Tho smoll pervaded tho houss, making ono feol sick almoat to fainting, Tho stairs wero uncarpoted, tho carpets having boen' taken up and piled with the othor furniture in a room. o footfalls going up the stairs sounded swfule 1y droarily, and it was impossiblo to restrain a superstitious thrill of awo in the mere presonco of tho dread mystery. Pushing opon o doorat tho head of the lnudlnqI a room wag entored which was pilod with bed-clothes, mattrosses, chairy, tnbles, and lamps, o was dondly, bmt tho body was thore, and “tho noxt door waa tried, tho most horriblo sight over witnossod in Now York prosented itsolf, "Tho oponing of the door frightenod“away half w dozen rats whioh woro foasting upon what was loft of the romaing, 'I'io smell was somothing foarful; but it was nothing compared with what mot tho oyo. In ono corner of tha room thero was a bed, tho clothing of which was in confuslon, looking ay if it had not boon slopt iu for years, Tho mat- troas was doubled up, and thoro wero no shoots or pillows to bo woon, At first slght tho remaing could not bo soon, as tho ground was black with innumerablo maggots, who notually soomed to bo walking sway with tho floor. I'horo was & plano in tho room which wau covored with littor of all kinds, hoxes, broken chairs, bod-clothes, and musio books, With the hond rosting nfinlnn ona of tho uwmr logs of tho pisno, all that romainod of tha body loy. It would bo impoesiblo eay that " s human soul had evor dwelt In the loathsome wmass ppon tho grouud, as nothing oould be seon stonoh not, and to roporty mado in | ‘but a ghinpoloss trunk, from which tho flesh had boen dovoured by the rata and the inngets, Tho moush waa open, the tooth protrudingin a ghnat- 1y way from the half-eaton guma, " Thoro wan gomo dark hair loft upon the skull, but the oyes woro gone, and there was no Remblance iof ohiooks, Tho lower part of tho body was like Hlink-oF askalolon | to folslind all disappenrod, | and tho bonos glintoned in thoe light, ay if thoy lind hoon polighed. The foct woro the only paris complotely loft, but this was owing to tfm fact that thoy were encasod in stroug boots, which the rats” woro unable to tear. The broast and sido woroe hollowed out, and tho arms had par- tinlly dllanunrnd._ Tho sight waa a ghastly ono, sufliciont to make a strong man faint and shun food for a month to como. 2 On tho front part of thie floor thoro was o Inrgo apartment, containing some very antique and costly furniture, but, like overything elsc in tho houss, 1k was 8o covered with duat and dirt tliat it was rapidly decaying. Golng down-stalrs, s parlor on the front floor waa ontered, which was plao fillod with valuablo artioles, On the mnntuhglncu thoro was a boautiful silver clock, tho hands of which had stopped at fivo minutes to 12, In dno cornor thero was & was covored with Feun cloth. By ita sido tliero woro, ;gomo musio-books and b plano-stool, although the sound of tho piano bad nover boon hoard by any one, Thoro weoro somo rare old- fashionod chaira in tho room pilod all kinds of odda_sud room thore ‘wore also bed.clothos, i fthoro woro in every room in tho hohso ‘which tho roporter entered. Coing back, tho kitchen was found. A large stove was in tho contro, and the floor was littorod with dirt. Thore wore some cooking utonhils and somo plates upon a dressor. Tho smoll from tho ro- mains had pervaded all parts of the house, and it snluted tho nostrils at every turning. In tha collar thore woro sfored a largo quan- tity of miscellancous artiolea. Thoro wore moro Fom]u in tho houso than was roqutired to furnish t, and how thoey all got thoro aud how thoy camo to Lo in such confusion is unknown. It'would Do impossible for Miss Willots, supposing her £o bo possossed of the strongth of an ordinary ‘woman, to hnve lifted some of the articles and disarrange thom as thoy now aro, ¥ » Coronor Horrman, . aftor visiting the body, gave a permit for its removal, but, disgraceful Tolato, up to & lato hour lnst night thore was no effort mado to take it away, and it probably ro- maing thero yot. Imhot woathor like tho pros- ent ita sresuncu in the nni(ihbarhwd is sufticient to brood a postilence, and it is an outrage and n shamo that it was nol promptly transforred to the Morguo. Inquiries made by the police for Mr, Dfmn Btioft showed that ho wasoutof town, visiting somowliero in the country. on which woro onds, In fhis From the New York Herald, July 15 Byron Stiot, tho nephow of tho doad womnn, turned up yestordsy morning in o high stuto o 1go bocsuse the faot had beon made publio.

I cannot esy why deconsed was 80 rotired in hor habits,” Bho wns always very kind to mo, almost like a mothor. Whon my father died Lio appointed hor executrix of .tho ostato ; my fatbor was in the fur business in tho Bowory ; ber full name was Clarlotto Willotts ; who was Vory whimeical somotimos, but gonerally her mind was cloar ; she was genorally chunr!ufl aud nover enld sho was tirod of lifo; sho was about 50 yoars old ; tho only relatious sho has liviug aro two nieces, who roside. in Savounah, ond myself ; thore was o nophew, but I cannot asy whether ho is living, Bhortly after Mr. Stiof loft Mrs, Handly, who owned the house in whioh 3Miss Willetts lived, appeared, Bho is grently distressed at_tho ac- curronco, particulatly os it happonod in hor houso, Mrs, Handlylived in tho house oo- cupied by Miss Willette beforo tho lattor becamo a tonent, The house was let to Miss Willotta five years ago, and ainco that time she has punctually paid hor rent, 'Che brothor of Mrs, Handly was in the labit of collecting Lhe ront, which was peid by & man lving ab ‘tho coruer of Delaucey stroet aud the Bowery, On occasions whon Mrs, Handly had businoga -with Bligs Willotts sho nover got furthor than the door of tho house, aud of conrge wera ontircly ignornnt of tho manner in whioh tho premives woro kept. Sho supposed that Miss Villotts ‘was rathor an untidy person, but she had not the slightest iden of tho frightful neglect and filth which gmvniled in the interior,” In apponr- snce Mliss Willetts was rather attractive, aud when young was considered handsome, Bko complained froquently of oppression of the hoart, and said slio thought sho had hoart di oase. This may probably oxplain in some mens- uro tho suddenness of hor death, It is possible ibat sho may have been stricken down imstan- daneously in tho placo in which her body was found. The fumitwe’ in tho room' in which tho body was found, including the plano, was the proper- Y of Mrs, Hondly, who paid ' Misa Willetts for the privilego of storing it thoro, 1t s strange that the unfortunate woman should have died in this apartment, a8 thore was scarcoly room to turn around in it.
