The Career of Edward Stiles the Murderer of Fisk—His Relatives and Victims—A Sad Tale of Domestic Shame [From the Chicago Tribune. of to In Ihe year 183S, Edward 11. Stokes, a sujcesslul cloth mer chant Oew York, aoti nearly connected with some ol the most prominent representa tives of tle wealth aoJ beneflc enof that ciry,TryRrei'rim business with a handsome com petency. Eight years pro viously he had married a Miss Stiles, a daughter of a leading Philadelphia!), and choosing a liQrne of ease and elegance, Mr. Stokes chose Philadelphia as hia future residence. There his eldest son was born in 1839, and named Edward Sliles, after a maternal relative. The lad was a boy of unusual beauty and promise, a quick, active mind, a generous loving dispo sition these trails being re membered well alter a lapse oi years by those who knew him at that time. Two daughters and two other sons were born in the period between 1840 and 1850. The family is recalled as being rarely endowed with all that seemed needed to in sure the happiness oi a house bold. The home was one of wealth and luxury, the culture of the best. Edward was educated at the university, and took high rank aa a scholar, lie went to New York at the ago cf seventeen, to enter into the store oi Sam uel Perry, on South Water street, a cheese dealer. Perry failed three years later, and young Stckes formed a part nersbip, with a junior of the collapsed house, and they, as Stoke. & Budlong, opened a cheese store on Vesey street. They bad excellent success, their foreign shipping trade be ing very large, calling Stokes to Europe several times within the next few seasons. About this time the senior Stokes re moved to New York, where he look up his office with his son though not originally intend ing to become entangled in business. Such was the result, however, and not only was the father, but other prominent wealthy relatives, gradually, but heavily involved in the ex tended ventures of Stokes & Budlong. The failure of the firm followed, and lather and son were thrown into bankruptcy. I Bl With the wreck of bis for tunes young Stoke embarked next in the enterprise of es tablishing an oil refinery at Uunter's Point. Three hun- 1 dred thousand dollars were ex pended in the works, which were to be of the best class, when the company fell I into difficulties, and at this juncture the baleful light oi Jim Fink's countenance comes into the story. Jim was in the Cfull tide of his operations with J Erie. -He held the advantages (we wish it were less employed i by even more scrupulcue rail way managers than be) sup plied by his eorporation in transportation and control of market, as the Erie was the great thoroughfare to the oil - regions. A compact ws struck. . Fisk entered the re finery company, reinforced its capital, and with a change of name and heavy "drawbacks" J on f he Erie freight bill, the 1 Hunter's Point refinery sailed jitroDgly into successful com- petition. Stokes was Secretary as well as partner. At one Hime his profits from the refin- Jery gave him f 1,000 per week. Ii In 1864 Stokes married the daughter of J. W. Southwick, la prominent furniture dealer in New York, one of the oldest in his line in that eity. A abort time since one of our oldest "presidents showed us a set of lurnuure, a weauing outnt brought to Chicago in 1836 bought of Mr. Southwick, who is now a niaji of immense wealth, and still in active busi ness in a great Broadway es tablishment The wedding oj Stoke with Miss Southwick seemed to lack nothing that wealth, position and social sur roundings ou Id bring to insure happiness. They made their sumptuous home in the Hoff man louse, and moved among lha most brilliant life of the metropolis. The next scene in the drama brings the infamous woman, Mansfield into the plot. Solo mon described her many cen turies ago, and we fear Solo mon knew what he was writing about. But his painting has never been surpassed, and if somebody could have slipped into Stokes mind this little pen portrait, made two thousand year., ago, of Josephine Mans field and her infamous sisters, it might have spared commu nity the fruits ot the new ac quaintance, llere are some ol the wise man's colorings oi his subject: ' She llcth lu wait as lor a prey, and incrcasetb the transgressions among men. . Her feet go tlorn to death, her steps take hold on hell. , -Her house Incllneth Into death, and her paths Into the dead. None that go unto her return aitaln. . : lie goeth after her straightway, as att ox goetb to the slaughter. She has cast down many wounded, yea many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chamber of death. The dead are there. Her guests are In the depths of hell. And just precisely that hap pened which the Son of David predicted; from the house of the harlot the path turned downward. A quarrel between Fisk and Stokes followed. It was carried into affairs of busi ness. Fisk refused to allow the Hunter's 4. Point concern to make a dividend, and thus cut off Stokes supplies. The dis graceful relation with . Man. field became more shameless, and the father-in-law, South wick,' sent his daughter and her child to Europe early in 1871 to remove her from Ihe scene of the Bcandal. Stokes euragod at Fisk, used his position as Secretary to colled $30,000 from Devoc, an oil merchant, which sum he held openly and defiantly as his share ot the profits. Fisk caused his arrest on a criminal charge. Stokes turned to his wealthy relatives. No one of them would bail him, and he was forced to make terms and submit, and re funded the money, ilia rela tions (0 Fisk were bitter, and out of the intensity of the evil passions and criminalities of his position with Mansfield grew murder. Turn to Solo mon again, and there is no mystery ia the chain cf se quences. It is said that the same steamer that took out to Europe the news of the mur der of Fisk by Stokes carried a divorce procured by her family for his wife, who still remains abroad. The story of family grief and reverses is not all told. The 6enior Stokes, after thirty years of retirement and enjoy ment ofa luxurious home, is bankrupt and homeless iu bis old age. One of the daugh ter! died two weeks after mar riage. The second daughter, the wife ot a Mr. Suttou, at tached herself so strongly to the fortunes of her brother that her husband discarded her, and she is in refuge with her aged parents. The second son, a young man of great promise, died about two months ago of grief and shame at the family reverses, and the whole tale of the innocent and suffering victims by this complication of crime and shame is not to be tally told without inclu ding soma of the best known and esteemed of New York families. It young men in our commu nities could only ride on ex press trains to the devil, and take no one with them, there would be less to be sg since, aside from these considerations, it is every man's individual right to barter away his life and fortune and sacred honor at his own price.' Satan buyj a great many of these poor fol lows very cheap,'and at short option for sellers.. But every car is part of a family train. The shock and crash of shame and disgrace must fall on inno cent as well as guilty. In be half of the fathers and mothers and sisters of the community, let general warning be made of the case oi Edward S. Stokes. Where has romance woven anything so sad? Where, in modern communities, have been given more abrupt and startling variations cf Jighl and shade, from the brightest point of promise and assured happiness to the depths ot darkness and misery, than those on which the curtain falls? James Emmit announces, so nays the Chillicotha Gazette, that the present season will forever close his connection with the distilling business. He is tired of it. He ought to bo tired of it by this time. He has made a fortune, to be sure, but the trouble, perplexity, and per sonal danger he has gone through, have been such as mil lions of cash oan not compen sate. Many a man, poor as Lazarus, has been happier. - Marietta Register. An exchange gives delinquent subscribers a gentle reminder as follows.

A Minister, His Wife and Child Frozen to Death Within a Few Rods of His House. [From the Winona Republican. Among the losses of life re ported in consequence of the ' late terrific storm are toe iol- : lowing: Hon. U. R. Wellai ef ' Preston, reports the loss of a minister and family from Lime.

The minister. with his wife and two children. undertook to reach home, feud when near borne, the horses. gave out, and be took ona child and made his way to the house, but in returning to tha cutter where he had left his ' wife and remaining child, l.e was lost, and was found the next day fruzen to death. HU wife and child, left in the cuf ter, were also found dead, but tho one taken to the house waa ' found alive. A man had been ' seen hanging around a grove in Fillmore county some da; a' before the storm of Tuesday night, but was found and taken ' to the counf y poor farm, where both hands and feet were am putated. He gives his name aa Lee, is delirious, and begs ot Sheriff Martin not to kill him.. He is supposed to be a crimi nal wanted by bherifi Martin' of Winona county. f E. E. Payne, of Rochester, got caught in the recent terri-' ble storm while riding in Dodge county, within a few miles of Kason, and lay out one wh ile; day and two nights before h could find a house. He says: ! passed Mr. Gaskill's before dark, expecting to make Mr.' Tuckers about a mile further south, but when about half way was so blinded by the storm that I turned to take mv track back to Mr. G.'s, which t adjustpassa?.

There I was all nighf, singing; praying, and working,' to keep alive; At one time I struck-' my hands 300 time?, and at an other kicked my feet 500 times: At length day dawned but no abatement of the storm. I could see two rods after dig cine out of where I waa drifted under, and could hardly stand; the wind blew so. 1 was afraid to leave, and returned to my then. snowy nest, aud laid mo down to die, if it was God's will. For hours I stood the storm shivering, with clothes wet and frozen.

"I started by holding on to the fence until I found . died track, which, wich difficulty I followed nntil 1 found a grain eryaud stable, but could nod find a house.
