In order to get at tho facts in tho scandal connecting tho name of Health Commissioner Francis with Ida Simpson, whjch has of lato been attracting so much attention throughout the country, that person was called upon by yourcorrcpondcnt to-day. Miss Simpson wns out with her brother and his wife, but 'at 10 tho" trio returned, and there wns not tho .least hesitancy on tho part of any of tho family in conversing on the absorbing topic. It may bo promised here that Miss Simpson is a young lady twenty years of age, with eyes as black as tho sloe, and hair us black as tho raven's wing. In plain English she is a right down pretty girl with bewitching face and lovely form. She readily gave a history of her first acquaintance with Mr. Francis, tho attention ho had paid her, her downfall, remorse nud thirst fur rovengc. Then eamo tho story of her lato attempt at suicide. "Yes," she said, ''it is true that I did try to kill myself. I felt liko the world had turned its back on me. Mr. Francis, who had tsworu to love and take care of me all my life simply deserted me, and told his friends he had made a ' blasted fool ' of himself. Tim papers spoke of me a if I had been a loose woman, trying to blnrckntail a respectable citizen. 1 wns a ruined girl and without n friend. I ' determined that I would put an end to myself. 1 wrote an iccount of my life and Wrongs for tho Democrat, and scut a copy in tho man who hud been the cause of my. downfall. I had two of chloroform. After locking the door I .nado a pullet on the tloor and placed a pit-tow on it. 1 put the letter to the under the pillow, where it would he toulid the first thing. Then I saturated uy clothes with the clilorotorm, took a spoonful of it internally, and laid doWn, as I thought, to my last sleep, but they found me. Dr. 1'hoinpson was tent for and ho brought mo to. ' And you see," continued the lady with a bright laugh, " that I am still alive nud is lively as a crioket, and now I want tho .orld to know the truth about inc. I have no hatred lor Mr. Francis. I nnnot subdue all my love for a man to whom I gave all that a woman has worth giving her first love, but he has brown me off as if 1 had been a '(';. If he had been anything of a man ,o would have shielded mo and suid to the world: ' 1 am responsible for this girl's - .in, nud I will bear tho burden ot it.' He knows how ho persuaded nic, blinded mo mil infatuated me. I would havo given him my life, such wns his influence over me, but nt the first breath of scandal he runs away and leaves all tho heavy load for mo to bear. THE' TRIP TO CII1CAOO. In conversation with a Post-Dispatch reporter Miss Simpson was asked: "What injustice do you complain of?" In tho first placo Mr. Francis says imply that he went off to Chicago, and that he was a fool. Ho leaves the impression that lie and 1 ran oil" on a spree. Why did ho not como out liko a man and toll i how he almost carried me away." ' "How wns that 7" ; ' l have no ill feelir.g against him in j my heart, but my story bus nover been told. Two days before wo loft town, he eamo to my boarding notue in ins buggy. Ho wns almost o razed with drink, and he begged mo to take care bf him. Ho said thut all was over between him and his wife, that she would not talk with him and would sue for a divorce, and that he could now look after mo. I asked hiin what he wanted done, and he said that I should tako euro of him. 'Let us tako a drink,' ho said, 'and talk it all over.'" ' Did you agree?" " Yes. I never wanted him to leave his wife; never asked him, but I thought if it is all over botweou them, it v ill bo right for mo to tako my chance. Perhaps he might marry me and givo mo at least a name, if 1 had lost honor. If he had left his wife for good, was it not natural for a poor girl in my condition to cling to my last chance? Then, ho was so drunk that was afraid to let him go away alone. i W. went out driving, undo dro've at furious crait. Sovoral times wore nearly upset, and ouce ho ran into a telegraph polo and had a narrow escapo. Then I took tho lines, and at bis dirootion drovo to a place in tho suburbs (Miss Sampson named tho placo), where wo remained all that night and most of the next day. I did so because ho beggod me to take care of him. The next of tt moon he had sobered up some. He Bald he would never sober up here,, and ho intqndjfd. to go to Chioago. I told.himtW,w'aB & bist, ho ' -'could do. Then he said I must go, and I immediately "rtjfiiMtd. Bnt"ke fcf gd" aad atreated, and at lut I 'oVin(ed.

Sow, If I waatad to tiiek kim could I mat have Uft Urn 1 Tkat mmj wasld kava aravldad far aaa U a disgrace but I would not do such a thfng. Ho told mo when ho gave me the money that Dr. Qrindcn and Mr. Fitzwilliam bound to stop him When ho wns leaving tho City Hall that afternoon, but that ho had drawn his pistol, mado them both stand aside, and threatened to kill tho man who would attempt to detain him." 'What happened in Chicago?' " Oh, I dislike to talk about these things, but I havo sutl'cred and I have been abused. Mr. Francis was drunk there all the time, and he spent his money and nil I had. too. Every timo ho ordered a bottle of champagne ho gavo tho boy a half a dollar, and his payments to boys alone ran up to SO or !7 a day. We stopped at the Palmer House, and I did all I could to keep him from drinking, but he would. Ono day I was writing a letter to St. Louis; lie demanded to seo it, and I refused. Ho pulled his revolver and said, I'll givo you threo minutes to put that letter down on the table.' " "What did you do?" " I looked at hiin and said, ' Then I give you notice that in three minutes you must kill me, for you will never see that letter.' Ho saw I was in earnest, and would not shoot. Then 1 remembered thut I, top, had a pistol in my satchel, and I got it. I went over nnd lookpd the door. He mndo a rush at me and I drew my revolver and said, ' stand whero you are. If you advance another step I'll drop you liko I would a dog. You have ruined me nnd taken me from my home. Now you beat me.' That ocwed him, nnd he did nothing. The previous day ho had beaten mo and dragged me around the room. I had marks on my neck long after I came homo as the result of his treatment. The next day he gave me some money, after he hifd telegraphed for it to St. Louis, and on the following morning I found thnt ho had stolen it all buck, and my pistol, too, and gono Out. When ho came back he sut in a big chair and ns"kod me to rc.id Hie paper to him. He could not rend, he wns iu such a condition. I sat on the edgo of tho whilo 1 read, and succeeded in taking Ids pistol out of his poakot beforo ho knew it. Then, witJi tho revolvor, I forced him to givo me enough money to como homo. " Ho did not want to do so, but I said I would go, with or without him. Only for that pistol I never would have had tho money. I was bound to go whilo I had It. What am I blamed for? I'm ft poor girl, who was 'foolish enough to yield to tho repeated solicitations and entreaties of, a man who wns my snporior in age nnd position, and to whom I was almost indebted for my living. I fell, but ho knows who was to blame. I havo no ill feeling against him. even now, and would not movo a finger to injure him. AH thut I ask is thai he furnish me some means to leave hero ami go to a place where I can earn an honest living again. At present 1 have not a dollar to do this."

ARTHUR'S ILL HEALTH JlIE ON THE BORDER. Iielicf Tlmt Ho Will Not Livo Awful Work r Kocgado In-His Term Out. i (Iisll, 0ut West His Greatest Trotiblo in Insomnia Hopes that tho Climate or Florida anil a Change or Scenery "Will lt ciineratc His Physical Condition. Washington, April 2, President Arthur's condition, physically, really gives good grounds upon which to base uneasiness. There are hundreds, aye, thousands of cool, honest and scnsiblo pcoplo hero who believe that tbero will be another President than General Arthur before tho expiration of the present term. This subject bus been tho eourco of a great deal of quiet private talk during tho past month, nn.d as timo advances tho idea that General Arthur is himself growing alarmed over his condition seems to gain strength. As stated Bomo time ngo, tho President enn not sleep soundly. He has insomnia, nud it afflicts him sorely. Tho loss of sleep will in time crush tho strongest constitution, and his appearanco indicates now that it is "wearing upon him. Standing hard by tho President at the "White House on St. Patrick's Day, whilo tho procession passed him, he looked unnaturally palo and haggard. There was an unusual amount of whiteness about his eyes, tho balls seeming white almost to tho sight center. Heavy blaok lines under his eyes formed n strange and ill contrast ns against tho palo, bloodless flesh about tho breadth of his cheoks. Directly over his cheek bones there aro largo spots of coagulated blood. Ho seemed more limp than usual, nnd his wnlk was less brisk than common. He cast his eyes about him in a nervous, uneasy manner, as though uncomfortable and suspecting. A gentleman, who has been in the President's presence a great deal since thon, says that theso symptoms of distress and ill health have increased, nnd that tho must have rest. Ho soys tho stories painted about tho President being haunted in his sleep; the cruel report revived from Now York that his wife died from a broken heart, and tlio caricatures made of him, bnsed, as a general thing, upon absurdities, nnd falsitiost and being brutnlly mean, do not tend to relax the tension of his nerves nor sweeten bis rest. Ho says that, although General Arthur is a man of iron nerve, and seemingly insensible to the threats of an iiiisymputhiziug world, he is very susceptible to this harshness, and is sad of heart. Thero is little doubt that the in en I a 1 strain he has ghen to his office lias done much to break him down, while the taunts of an uncharitable constituency have hurried him toward his almost wrecked physical condition. It is now hi ranged that he will leave here on Tuesday, accompanied by of the ny Chandler and the President's private secretary Phillips, and that he will spend ten days or two week in Florida, lie hope to get re! and to be u quiet in pi4ihc for a few days. He will go in Florida waters. A change of climate and iccrrtniou miiy hell) '''"' ,0 sleep better. It he is not benefit led he will return speedily. Did ho not (eel the necessity of such a trip he would not leave Washington just now, for there aro many matters of importance before him. A Society I)Iseouriif;ed. St. Lor is, April 1.
