After several months of litigation the suits were dis continued by consent, and Mis Claiton began a new suit in New Jersey, where she hns a nominal residence at the house of her father in New Brunswick. Mr. Lyon put in no defence to the suit, and a decree of absolute divoiee was granted to. the wife, with tbe enstody of her only child, a daughter about ten years old. Since then Miss Clax- ton has been frequently before the public as a star actress of some emi nence, as one of the few persons who escaped from the Are In the Brooklyn Theatre, and as a guest at thp South ern Hotel, In St. Louis, on tha occa sion of the fatal Are at that jflgce last year. A few days ago it was announced that Miss ClaXton had filed * petition to be adjudged a voluntary hiankrupt, giving her llabilfoes «t 800,000 and her assets as nominsi. It whs also stated that this large indebtedness was caus ed by Miss ClaKton having b^en in volved in tbe real estate speculations of her husband, who recently went through bankruptcy. Mr. Lyon, in a published card, denied that any part of this indebtedness had been caused by him ; denied that Miss ClaXton had ever endorsed his paper, or become re sponsible for his obligations, and de clared that she need not have gone into bankruptcy, but that she pre ferred the publicity aud scaudai of tbe« proceedings. A reporter of the World called on Miss ClaXton yesterday at Rondaut, N* Y., where she was stopping en route for Albany, where she appeared last evening. To a question as to the cir- curaiitances of her troubles, she said i “Tbe reports that, have been pub lished about this bankruptcy are apt to create the most cruel and unjust suspicions about me. The simple fact Isjhat, during my life with Mr. Lyon, it seemed necessary to him and bis business that some name other than hia own should stand sponsor for hb ventures, I, with a woman’s idea of business, and a wife's idea of duty, signed as many documents and papers as he chose to place before me* know ing abeolutely nothing about hia buei- nees more than that my signature seemed needful for his purposes. I knew that property stood in my name solely because he told me so. t signed cheeks in blank for him to fill up at his leisure, aud knew 1 had a banic ac count only In that way.’’ “When you signed papers did you hot know what they were for?” “No, sir ; the papers to which I at tached my name at his request were of all conditions, forms and sixes—writ ten, printed and in blank. Tbe legal Importance or Value of my acts I never stopped to consider tratll I began to support myself and thereby to com- ■pephend the significance of a slgna* ture>hen I vainly begged that the service shotrid be performed by some' one else.** long did jotf continue to sign papers at Mr. Lyon's request and with- out understanding them !•” “Up to the time that I began ray proceedings for divorce. Then I met ifir. tyon at the office of hfs attorney* Hr. John J'ettrech. where we made a transfer, and the sister of Mr. Lyon assumed tfly functions in bis business affairs. I had hoped that that day would end my hsaponeibllUy in hia financial speculation*, but on my re-, cent return to tfew York I was served with papers representing a daim of nearly $11*000, being deficits on tnort- which I had supposed to hia sister, hut whl learn he dkf not include in the trans fer, becanee, as he said, they could sot be collected, since he could prove he bad been compelled to pay illegal In terest.” “Was it oh account of that claim that you went ftto bankruptcy?” “Well, I wlli explain. This claim, coming upon me when I was totally unprepared to meet it, and tbe more than probability of others springing from the same imprudent use of my signature, decided me to take the ad vice which Mr. Lyon suggested to my counsel, and seek relief in bankruptcy. This I did the more especially because Mr. Lyon himself bad at the same time informed my counsel that he did not know, and could not tell whut claims might arise In future, and it Is to avoid these unknown dangers to the welfare of my dhild and thysnlf that (as Mr. Lyon says) I prefer 'the publicity and scandal of tbe present proceedings** to the dismal, uncertain future which otherwise awaits me, This is tbe plain truth, without reservation or other de vice by which facts and their conse quences are avoided, and I am ready to affirm its truth by all the solemni ties the law requires.’* “Have you not made a groat deal of ftjpney *in your profession. Miss Clak- ton ?" asked the correspondent. “Yes, sir i I hate beeh successful during the past two years. I see by referring to my brother’s books that my receipts for the nineteen weeks when I traveled with my company amounted to $55,000. My expenses were very large and my profits re spectable, almost reaching the atlm of 820.000. I started on borrowed money, and have paid it all back. The baianoo I have spent, how, when ot where, Is dtstinctiy my own bueineea. JU is spent, however, and not hidden, as the counsel for the the claimant, in the in formation which he has furnished the press, would imply. There were no judgments or attachments against me while I was spending it, and therefore no reasons why I should consult the wishes of others in disposing of iL ? ’ "Are you still successful in your pro fession, Miss Olaxton?’* “I have no cause to complain ; 1 hope to be successful, and since the courts have, on the merits of my case, granted me an absolute divorce and tbe sole custody of my little girl, I can not consent to embarrass and mort gage her future aud my own by as* suming obligations I know to be un just. I owe nothing In right; bow much I owe In wrong nobody can tell. I have pursued my profession from a desire to win independence for my child and myself. I began in the hum blest walks, and by the usual and slow processes that attend every persistent aud conscientious effort, by many fail ures as well as by successes, aided by circumstances I could ueitber force nor control, I have at length arrived at the ability to provide for myself and mine, ahd to meet every j upland right- sous obligation I ever Incurred or ex pect to incur. Such independence, with heaven's help, I hope to main* tain. In doing so I shall wrong no mao and no woman, and until 1 myself am unjust it is not unreasonable that I should look for Justice in others.” In conclusion, Miss Olaxton, who was unusually emphatic during the in terview, said that she did not wish to appear In print in any other than a professional way ; she was extremely averse to having even the appoafabce of wishing to make her private troubles an aid to public success, and If now she was forced to speak to-thS public of her privaCeaffnlr* it was her mis fortune and not her fault, A half century old romance is recall ed by the death at New York of its ho- rolne." Fifty years ago, when she was the daughter of a wealthy family of a Connecticut town, she went on a visit to New Yofk, and there h«r beauty captivated an English naval lleuten* ant, who finally persuaded her to a secret marriage. As soon as she re turned home she told the affair to bet horrified patents, and, in a few boom her husband appeared to claim her.

To say that t thank you for your beautiful present, that I appreciate the kind motive which prompted the gift, and this day Wi|J ever b« recalled with pleasure, seems but a cold ex pression of my gratitude. My efforts In your defence, during that long and trying period, beginning in October, 1870, and ending In June 1877, have long since brought their own reward. The oonoiousneea of having performed a duty due to you and tbe people of this State, humble though It was, ia beyond all price, except it bo the mo tive which finds the language In this act of yours. In that trial hot only you, who were personally arraigned, but our whole section, nay, the peo^ pie of South Carolina, Who stood at the bar of popular opinion, were held to answer chargee of the gravest char- act er. I felt as you did, that the proe- ecutlone were gotten up by crafty ahd designing men for political eflect, and that partisan journals taking advan tage of tbe heated campaign and par* ty strife, bad trumpeted these charges far ^nd sear. The aspersions thus ranoorously cast upon the honor of our State demanded a speedy vindica tion. That you were vindicated by the trial in Charleston is freely admit ted everywhere. But the justice of your case, ahd the earnest assistance of my diatlnguishtd colleagues, were the real causes of your eucoees. That you should consider fr.y labors Worthy Of such marked approval as your lat ter so flatteringly declared is far more than I expected. Wishing each and every ode of you a substantial and lasting prosperity ,t am, with profound gratitude. Your friend, James ALDRICH.
