C01. I*. T. HUBBARD.L. M. J.Viscountess Forth.DEPENDING HER HUSBAND’S GRAVE AND HER YOUNG CHILD’S RIGHTS.New York, August 9.—The Viscountess Forth, or Mrs. Drummond, as she prefers to be called, went to day to the office of the British Vice-Consul, Mr. Hoare, and had a long talk with him. Afterward she visited Trinity churchyard and placed flowers about her husband’s grave. She is in constant anxiety lest the body be secretly removed and sent to England, and she says she intends to place pots of flowers so that she can detect any disturbance of the remains.UI was planning to steal the body myself.” she said this morning, unable to restrain a laugh at her own nervous fears. Mrs. Drummond .says she would not accept assistance from her husband’s relatives if it should be offered, but she is determined to maintaiu whatever rights her child may have. Her husband was to have signed a will la9t week, but died before the papers could be presented to him.Four years ago, however, he had papers drawn up before a notary with a view to establishing his daughter’s position and rights. At that time he had thoughts of going to England and was afraid ne might be put into an insane asylum there. Several persons have come forward with offers to take charge of the little girl May, but her mother will listen to no proposal which involves any separation from her daughter.Lawyer John B. Ireland still insists that Drummond was never married to the woman who now claims that relationship. He says that she is the wife of an English coachman. When these stories were carried to Mrs. Drummond at her rooms on Brooklyn Heights to-night she was very indignant. She said she could prove everything that Ireland had *aid to be a wilful and malicious lie.
