A Fiokla Woman Violates Hoi Vows and Dosfcrojs Her A Social Scandal that Has Set Niagara Palls Society on Edge , Special to the Clexltnd Lcad.r. BuPFAW , N. Y. , March 10. Social circles 'in the romantic village ol Niagara Falla are just now agitated over a sensation of considerable ) mug. nltndo , in which are Involved eorno people who with their rotations are known all over the country. It ap pears that about ton years ago Mlsa Oollno Taylor , a daughter of Mrs. D. II Jcrrold , the wlfo of ono of the pro prietors of the Cataract House , felt in love with Samuel Mason , a young man who managed an "Indian Store , " In Prospect Park , who was afterwards village olork and is now in the Niagara Falls custom honso. Miss Taylor was about twenty yeara old , a boantlful brunette , whoso every wish had boon ijratiGod , nd who had boon thorough ly potted , until she was a spoiled child , by her step-father and her mother. 3 < tm was a tall , good-looking , man ly fellow , who had Innumerable Friends. Bo waa a poor boy , and worked himself up In the world by en ergy and attention to business. Ho earned enough money to support a wife in comfortable circumstances , but ho could not maintain a woman in ihe ease and luxury ICK which Oollno had always boon accustomed. Her friends told her no , but their worda of advloo served only to Increase the feeliag of mutual cherishment which had iprnng up between them , and the conplo wore noon after married. Bverything'ptssed off pleasantly for a time. Then Mrs. Mason found that her husband was really unable to give her sufficient funds lo enable her to dross an well aa she had been used to apparel herself. Being naturally sensitive this had a very unhappy effect on her , which waa enhanced by the fact that her relatives wcro all able.to put on as much style as In former , times , This was espe cially the case with her titter , who was the wife of Peter A. Ptrtor , ono of the' old Porter family , an iwner of Goat Island and proaldent of h0 vll- lafio. Mrs. Porter had unlisted moans to gratify her ta O ) and , as waa only natural under th , circumstances , aho dressed In accord with her husband's ' wealth. Mrs. Mason was nnablo to keep up with the Fashionable society in which she moved , and although 8am struggled hard to do everything for her , she lost her love for him. This change waa not at first noticed by others , for the union had boon cemented by the addi tion to the family of three bright chil dren , the oldoat of which Is a boy seven years of ago. Within a few years George W. James , a Buffalo druggist , wont to Niagara Falls and established a drug store opposite the International hotel. Ho dressed finely , had a suave , Insinuating man ner , and bore the reputation of being a "lady's man. " He paid considera ble attention to Mrs. Mason , and was finally told by friends thai It waa ex citing talk. It Is reported that he showed the door to ono well-mo ming townsman , and emphatically txpreised hii Intention to dn what he wanted to without any regard to what people thought or said. The relation ! con tinued until recently/when Jarno'at tentions to Mrs. MMon became so marked that the husband took his three children home to his mother and abandoned the wayward woman. Ho left her all the furniture and house hold effects , with which aho furnished a suite of rooms on Main street where aho Is now residing. , Mason was head over heels In.bobt , as a result of his wife's extravagance. Ho ii generally popular , boingNthe chlot of the Niagara Falls five depart ment , and much sympathy Is express ed for him by residents of the place. Ho is remarkably temperate In hit " ablts , and for a number of yean hat lot Indulged in any excesses' . Mason'e later is the wife of Oharjoy Backus , he minstrel man , and all of hli eon < ectlons are prominent. At the ad < Ice of .friends Mr. Mason soughl legal counsel with Mr. Davis , the new lonnty judge of Niagara county , hrough whom an application for i livorco has boon made to the Snpremi Bourt , An effort will bo made to havi referee appointed , and try the cast without any publicity , which ao fai 'as boon avoided by all of thi jartlea intorostod. A Laador corroa pendant was told that Mrs. Ma ion had not yet put in any do- onso , and that she would offer ni > bstao1o to the speedy decision of th case without the necessity for a pnbll trial. The developments which sue ! an event would bring to light cai readily be imagined when I state tha the details given In this dispatch hav been shorn of everything tending tc wards sensationalism. There Is a re port current that as soon as the deere s granted Mrs , Mason and Jame fill get married and seek a new horn a the west. This is strengthened b ; he fact that Jamea has already mad arrangements for selling 'out his dro store. The people at the Falla are t a less to understand why Mrs. Maso took a fancy to the druggist , who I much Inferior to her husband In over respect , except possibly the site c his purse. Prince QortachakolT.

After a prolonged sti the latter capital , ho , in 1850 w Appointed to represent Russia at tl 'Frankfort ' diet. In this capacity 1 laid the foundation of his snbseque brilliant career. Ho first rose in favor at court 1 serving the Imperial family as dlstl tlngulshed from ( though not opposite to ) the state. Nicholas hs been b ! tirly disappointed in the marriage his eldest daughter with the Duke Lonohtonborg , who did not oven bo leD { , to a irlgnliif ! honee.

On July 13 , l&iG , the grand duchess was united to the prlnco ( a present the monarch whom his sub joota have irreverently dabbed Olgns ' Nicholas now asked Gortsobakoff tc wait awhile for his rowatd , and to staj at atuttgart ( where ho was minister ] as confidential counsellor to the yonnf prlncoia , Moanwhllo the cz r would not forgot his aervant. Of course , Gortechakcff said. Under hla able tuition the prlncoas soon acqnlrod un bounded inflnonco In her new homo , and Wnrtomborg was then a factor k the German ( and thoioforo the European poan ) question. Of course , too , Nioh. olas redeemed his promise. In 1854 Gortschskcff waa named ombaasadoi to Vienna in place of the aged Meyon < dorff. During the Crimean war hie special mlaslon was to keep Austria neutral , if ho could. Ho moved heaven and earth to accomplish thli object , and , though devoured by anz lety and mortiGcatlon , showed every where an unnrinklod front. Ho over managed to create a "Russian party * at the Austrian capital. Pamphlets ap peared hinting at an alliance with Rus sia , which was to bo "fixed aa t rule" and "popular as a fashion.1 After vho war Lord John Russell and Drouyn do L'Hays came to Vien na to Bottle with Gortaohakoff the con < ditlona of peace. Both flattered him. Terms proposed by Austria were re garded aa too favorable by the allies. This was Russia's darkest hour. Gort- sohakofj waited at Vienna in great angnlsh of mind. When Sebastopol fell Russia was' completely exhausted. The theater of war was about to bo transferred to Poland , The young Emperor Alexandria submitted to fate. All things considered , the terms were easy. Russia became reconciled to England and Franco , bnt never for- zave Austria for her double-dealing , Sortschakoff vented his bitterness in a mot which wont through the salons of 3t. Petersburg like nn electric flash : "Austria Is not a nation ; only a gov- arnmont. " In 1858 Gortsohakoff became chan- : ellor for foreign affairs vice Nosaol- ode , who retired. The traditional policy of Russia has always been : To nalntaln an equilibrium between the iwo great German states ; to extend & > r Influence among the smaller Gur- msri states and the Christian popula tion < f the east , ami to crush liberalism - ism athomo. To this boa been added since la G the idea of an association of abaolntprlnces against the "Rods.

QortsohakofTi gre tt-tim was to separate Franco and England. He conciliated France , lending his tacit support to Napoleon in thtlUllan war of 1859.

There were returned recently to the General Passenger Agency of the New York Central Road a bundle of tickets which were found in the overhauling of ono of the stations on the line of the road. They were issued in 1852 , and have the signatures of C. H. Kondrlck Ticket Agont. They were for passage over the Hudson River Railroad from Albany to Now York , and bore this remarkable indorsement : "If used on accommodation train leaving Albany at 8:45 p m $1 on every whole ticket will bo refunded by conductor. " These were tickets that were naod when night trains were first run over the road , thirty yeara ago , and the indorsement guaranteeing the return of $1 waa to Induce passengers to travel by rail in stead of by boat. .
