Mr. Quay was out of the hotel for awhile. When he returned he remarked that there didn't seem to be many folks around, and he added: "Well, I guess I'll go right back to Washington," and he did. A private telegram preceded the Sena tor's visit and it led to a call for a confer ence Monday alternoon. It is understood that the real purpose of the gathering is to discuss the Presidental situation with a view of making a final attempt to revive the Blaine boom in this State. The avowed purpose of the conference is to "make ar rangements tor the transportation of the Philadelphia delegates and their friends to the Minneapolis Convention." The Hoys Want to See Quay. This announcement, however, is for sur- lace purposes only, because a number of those who are expected to attend put no interest whatever in the matter of trans- nortation. Quay is confidently expected. he fails to appear there will be a lot of appointed politicians in the Quaker Those invited to be ou hand, so far as Known, include Congressman Bingham, City Chairman, Senator Charles A. Porter, and ex-Collector ot Internal Revenue David Martin; David H. Lane, one of the "big tour" that now control the Republican politics of the city; City Commissioner Theo. B. Stubb, District Attorney George 8. Graham, Magistrate Israel Durham, A. i? I- Shtlds, Select Conncilmau James B. niison WillKm L. Elk s, the traction magnate, who is one of me delegates at large to the National Republican Conven tion; Hamilton Disston, the Philadelphia millionaire, and Magistrates Ahern and Clement. Ex-Sheriff ana ex-United States Marshal William R. Leeds has not been asked to attend. His exhibition of sym pathy for President Harrison at the pri maries in January last has alienated him from his former colleagues. So much care Is being taken to keep the matter quiet that the leaders refuse to say where it is to be held. Those on the inside declare that it is to take place in the private office of Re ceiver of Taxes Taylor. Determlnrd to llavo an Understanding. The Philadelphians are becoming restive so far as Mr. Quay is concerned. They are anxious to have an understanding with him. The leaders feel very sore over the way in which George A. Castor, the candidate for Congressman at Large, was turned down at the Harrisburg Convention. They say that Mr. Quay could have caused his nomination by a nod, and that he refused to give it. One man declared to-day that he was tired of continually "standing up" for Mr. Quay and gcttinc nothing in return. In addition to this the Philadelphians want to know just how Mr. Quay stands on the Presidency. They say that they are willing to do anything in reason for the Junior Senator, but they don't care to go it blindly and be left in the mud as they were at the Harrisburg Convention. Still another thing they desire to ascer tain is the exact attitude of Senator Quay toward Chris Magee. They don't propose to work themselves into a white heat fight ing Magee to find that Qnay is on g&od terms with him. Three-fourths of Quay's Iriends are opposed to making Mr. Magee the National Committeeman from Pennsyl vania, ihey assume that if he once gats me.e it win oe an up witn yuay as tne i Re- publican leader in Pennsylvania. To Bn Laid Ont Like Ingalls. One of them said to-day: "Quay may gel back to the Senate, but ou ,ide of there he will be powerless, and as far as political inl fiuence is concerned will be worse off than; Incalis or Blair." Mr. Quay was asked in Washington to day what he knew of the storv that C L. Magee was to be made National Commit-' teemau from Pennsylvania. "Xothintr," j was tne reply. -jo one nas autnoritv for Faying that I am for Mr. Magee for 'that place." "But he is a candidate." "I know nothing of that" "Probably you may take it yourself?" "I never,"" said the Senator slowly, "de liberately cross bridges before I come to them. There is plenty of time to discuss the question later." One of the national delegates said to night: "As far as I am personally concerned I am in favor ot Blaine, but the delegation will have to act as circumstances seem to best justify at Minneapolis. We may have to vote for Harrison. It looks like" that; but,as I said before,I think we ought to vote for Blaine. His health is good enough for a campaign and I think he could be induced to reconsider his letter of withdrawal." Gr;g Has a Backbone. General David McMurtrie Gregg, who succeeds Thomas McCamant Monday, pro jpoes to be his own Auditor General This lact a number of State politicians have al ready found out, much to their disgust, and the chances are that many more than the politicians will learn about the inflexible and determined nature of the new State official before his three years' term flies by. 7heuditor General-elect will enter the department as he hopes to go out of it, with elean skirts.

"General Gregg has marked out n line of nction distinctly and unqualifiedly his own," remarked Mayor Merritt when in town. "He will be the Auditor General of Pennsylvania, not ot a party, and thouch a thorough Democrat myself, I indorsed him as a townsman, and all Reading admires him as a man. The people first and always with General Gregg. He is no politician, and never will be." General Gregg removed to Harrisburg with his family to-day, and until their home is ready will reside at Mrs. Espy's, on Front street, near State. During his two years' term as State Treasurer Captain Morrison will have his home at Wayne, about ten miles from this city, and has removed there from Pittsburg. Appointments Morrison Will Blake. There arc but six appointments to make in his deoartment and the changes have abont been made, George M. Taylor, of Philadelphia, as cashier, being the princi pal one. Major John F. Finney, a clerk, tendered his resignation some weeks ago to take effect May 1. He has been elected Secretary and "Treasurer of an electrio street railway company.

Daugh erty, of Greene; Michael Walsh,. of Beaver, the messenger who came with Quay and has held over ever since: Benjamin P. Thomp son, ot Montgomery, night watchman, and William H. Lynch, of Harrisburg, fireman. The retiring cashier is John E. Scott, who succeeded Livsey after that mysterious dis appearance. Ex-Speaker Grow was in the city to-day, and met among others his old friend, Jus tice McCsllum. He said: "It is trne that I am making an aggressive canvass for Per manent Chairman of the Republican Na tional Convention, and feel confident of very material support." Mr. Grow is especially anxious to secure the indorse ment of the Pennsylvania delegation, and is a member from the Bradford, Susque hanna, Wayne and Wyoming district. STAEK COTTHTT SOLIDLY KOEGAH.

He is one of the Re publican candidates from that county. Mr. Monaghan said to a Dispatch reporter that he wanted to deny a statement in this morning's papers wherein Judge King was reported to have said he would get Mona ghan's delegates in Columbiana countv. Mr. Monaghan further said that the delegates instructed for him were for him and nobody else. Mr. Monaghan is evidently displeased with the result of the primaries in Columbi ana, where he secured 9, Billingsley 38, and King 24, but believes that in case of a dead lock in the convention he may get the prize. Stark county will, however, Broba bly be solid for Morgan first, last and all time. A TIPPECANOE CLUB MEETING. Proposed National Gathering of Men Who Toted tor Harrison' Grandfather.

A national gathering of the men who voted for William Harrison in 1840 will be called. It will be the first of Its kind, and the age of the members of the clubs leads them to the belief that it will be the last. It is proposed to hold the convention In Chicago next October, at the opening of the Columbian Exposition, when it will be possible to secure the presence of President Harrison. Th; convention will last two days, opening with a procession on a mag nificent scale. An effort will be made to secure the best known speakers in the Re publican party.

It was a big day for the -cracy, and the speech will be of in jiculable benefit to the Democrats of this section. There has been a growing tendency among some of the Democratic farmers in this agricultural community to join the third party movement, which was given ad ditional impetus by Jerry Simpson's speech here two week's ago. Mr. Bryan took with the people from the very start. He declared that a third party hurts the party that it most resembles. He declared that "the tariff question was not settled, nor would it be until it was settled right. Tax relief has only been given to the few who are well-to-do. The great war burdens are still resting on the back of the poorer people. He would divide tax levies into these three classes: First One-third should, be derived from Internal revenue on whMky and tobacco. Second One-thlrdfjy a tariff for revenue only,' and this shvuld be lightest upon she necessaries of life and heaviest upon the luxm ies. c Third One-third should come from a graded Income tax bearing heaviest upon the rich. His argument against a tariff for protec tion was based upon the fact of it being wrong in principle, unwise in policy and unnecessary. Two Farmers' Alliance can didates for'the Democratio nomination for Governor, Colonel A. W. Woodford and Senator C. P. Easthorn, made speeches. The latter showed that the Alliance would make no attempt to control the Democratic organization, and declared his first duty would be allegiance to the Democratio party.

Special Colonel Charles McCrea, of Minneapolis, one of the United States Commissioners to the Rus sian famine district, arrived in this city to day on his homeward journey. The Amer ican Commissioners were told on arrival that the whole machinery of the State was at their disposal. They had merely to designate where the train should go, and to whom the goods bhould be delivered, and the officials carried out their orders and brought bacl. receipts. - The Commissioners consigned food to as many as 50 different people in the Prov inces of Samara, Tula and Obenburg. Most of these people were connected with the charitable organization conducted by the Ancle-American Church of Russia. "This is the worst famine that ever vis ited a civilized country' said Colonel Mc Crea. Colonel McCrea had with him a specimen of the famine bread. It was black, and made of grass and the roots of trees and bark. He said: "All the animals have been killed for food, and the peasants have actu ally reached the end of their rone. Now the flax crop has failed, and they will have nothing to make clothes of." Colonel McCrea will deliver to the Gov ernor the receipts for the Missouri's cargo. ATBOCITTES ON CATHOLICS.

SNUFFS OUT AT LEAST TWO LIVES. A Bold Knight of the Road Fires Back shot at & Stage Coach. ONE OP THE VICTIMS IS A T0TOG LiDT rSMCUlI.TILEOB.Uf TO THE DISPATCH. J . San Fbancisco, April SO. A special from San Andreas, Calaveras county, gives the details of a desperate attempt at stage robbery near that mining camp this morn ing, which resulted in the killing of a young woman, fatal wounding of a driver and dangerous injury of an express mes senger. The lone highwayman who wan tonly fired a load of buckshot into a crowded coach did not secure a dollar, but he es caped. The details of the crime, which has excited the greatest sensation ever known in the country, are very meager, as there is no direot telegraphic communication with the place. From what was sent down, and from J the express company's reports, the crime was as follows: The stage left early this morning for Sheep Ranch, a large property owned by J. B. Haggin, and the site of his famous Chimney mine, that yielded nearly $1,000, 000 in three weeks from a rich chimney of pure gold ore. When only five miles from town, as the driver was telling the horses to go easily up a rather steep grade, all on board were startled by a sudden cry of "halt 1" Halted at a Carve on the Hill. The driver was Anthony Batcgo, a cool headed man, and besldo him sat Mike Tovey, an old and resolute Wella-Fargo express messenger. He was selected to ac company the driver because in the express box was a large sum of money destined for Haggin's ranch, to pay off the men for their April work. The stage was Just rounding a curve near the summit of a hill when the order was given. Before Tovey could grab a gun a masked highwayman rose from behind a small clump of manzanilla bushes which had con cealed him, and fired the contents of a shot gun full at the stage. The driver, who was lathing his horses at the instant the robber fired, was shot through the body and dropped, mortally wounded, upon the dash board. As he fell, Messenger Tovey, though badly wounded in the right arm, seized the reins from the dying driver and succeeded in carrying the coach beyond ranee before the miscreant was able to "reload. Two People Killed In the Attack. , When out of range an examination was made, and it was found that one of the buck shot had killed a young lady passenger, Miss Rodersino, who had left her home- in San Andreas to visit friends at Sheep Ranch. Tovey was bleeding so badly he could not drive to Sheep Ranch so he turned to San Andreas. On the way he saw the robber making his way toward the hills in the direction of a railroad. When the stage reached town, and the dead body of the yonng woman was taken out, and the mortally-injured driver, who was very popular, was removed to a hotel, the men became wild to hunt down the criminal. The Sheriff had no trouole or ganizing a posse ot cleausnots and roid riders, and the baud of avenqqrs wa ooi, en he fiigiHvp'strail. Tf the catch him. the courts will not be bothered with his trial. The express company also sent some of its best detectives from 'Frisco to take part in -the chase. . In talking about the tragedy one of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s detectives said to-day: This is the first time that a Sheop Ranch stage has been held up, the object probably being the money destined for Haggin's ranch. It is the worst attempt at stnge rob bery that has occurred for years, on account of the less of life. Tho robber must have be come demoralized and fired before ho knew what he was doing. If the people or Cala veras county catch him the consequence may be serious. The sight of that dead young woman's body must nave enraged tho people, and the robber may get short shrift when he is caught. Three Times Shot in the Arm. Ragg, the driver, was an experienced man, and Tovey is one of the best messen gers in Wells-Fargo's employ. Neither would yield up without a struggle, and had they had any show it would have fared hard with the robber. Mike Tovey is one of the bravest of Wells-Fargo's messengers. His arm seems to be his only vulnerable part. This makes the third time he has been shot in that member in ten years. His most noted exploit was a midnight duel lie fought in 1881, with Jones and Sharp, two professional stage robbers on the Carson and Bodie road. The robbers had stopped a stage, and Tovey, standing behind the off lront wheel of the coach, met their attack. Jones was killed and Sharp con tinued the battle until he shot Tovey in the arm. He then retreated and Tovey was taken to a neighboring farm house to have his wounds dressed. Sharp subsequently returned and robbed the stage. Sharp was located by documents found on the bodyof Jones, and was captured at his lodgings in this city as he was returning from his stage-robbing expedition. He afterward served a term for this crime in the Carson penitentiary. A couple of years after the killing of Jones, Tovey had trouble with Bill With erow, another Wells-Fargo messenger, at Cuadelaria, Nev., and Witnerow took a shot at him. .His arm again received the charge. J SEVEN IS THE DEATH BOLL. Tho Search for Victim of the Philadelphia Fire Is fiscontlnned. Philadelphia, April 30. Although it is not definitely known that any of the audience of the ill-fated theater lost their lives, the work ot searching the ruins for possible victims was prosecuted to-day. While Mr. Gilmore was standing in the ruins this morning he was approached by Alfred F. Lore, a Quaker, and the well known advocate on behalf of Friends, tendered assistance. Mr. Love said that, although members of the Society of Friends were not in the habit of attending theaters, when a calamity such as has befallen the members of the "Devil's Anction Com pany" overtakes people, their sect knows no prejudice. The space occupied by the aisles were cleared by noon, and no bodies being found the search for any probable victim among the audience was discon tinued. The death roll by the fire numbers the six members of the company and Thomas Atchison, one of theaudience, who died yesterday in the hospital from his injuries. Possibly this number will be increased by other deaths among those in the hospitals. . A PABTY FOB THE NOBTH POLK. The Nature and Advantages or Its Work to Be Discussed at a Meeting To-Day.

MYSTERY OP A DEATH. GENERAL TTHIXS WAS FOUND DYING IN A DISORDERLY HOUSE. How He Came to Be There No One Knows Story or the Phynlclan May Have Gone In the Nearest Place When His Heart Failed. New Yoeic, April 30. Special It was not made known until to-day that General William Wells, of Burlington, Vt., who died suddenly in this city yesterday after noon, died in a disorderly house at 39 Grove street. The cause of his death was given as heart disease. Dr. B. C. Mclntyre, who was called to attend the dead man and who notified the coroner, said to-day: "I reoognized the dead man as General Wells, whom I had known by sight when a student in the Uni versity of Vermont at Burlington 20 years ago. I immediately went to the Windsor to notify his widow. I stated to her the circumstances -of ber husband's death, which she refused to believe. Calling a cab, I accompanied her to 39 Grove street, where she identified the corpse as that of her husband. I n ent to the Victoria Hotel and notified General Wells' life-long friend and neighbor, Judge Edmunds, of his death." Dr. Mclntyre said that a painter who was at work in the house at the time the Gen eral was stricken had summoned him. Dr. Mclntyre was Informed at the house that General Wells had been there but ten min utes when he was seized. Judire Edmunds said: "No one but General Wells could tell how he came in that house, and he is dead. His friends are of the opinion that he was coming from downtown and was seized with an attack of the disease to which he was subject, and entered the first house he could reach. General Wells' character has been of the very highest" The house, 39 Grove street, has been known as of 'irregular character for 40 years. General Wells was born in Ver mont 5 years ago. He went to the front as a member of cavalry In 1861, in 1865 was breveted Major General. He has been in politics in Vermont, at one time being Internal Revenue Collector.

George Welh came to Pittsburg two weeks ago and while here he learned that his wife was living with Stately at No. 41 Logan street. Thought It Was Punishment Enough. He employed a detective to go to the place and investigate the ease. When the officer reported that the woman v. as living witb Ststcly ar his wife, and ti.at Stately was a Law and Order detective, the deserted and disgusted blacksmith threw up his hands and remarked, "Let her go. He'll punish ber enough." The blacksmith then returned to his children and his home, vow ing he would never have anything more to do with the woman. No further attention was paid to Stately and his illegal partner until yesterday, when Police Inspector McKelvy received an anonymous letter from Freeport. The let ter called the attention of the police to the conduct of Stately, who, the writer stated, had deserted his wife and three children, leaving them in abject poverty, without clothes or food. He had, the letter said, only been home twice since he come to work in Pittsburg, and on both occasions he outrageously abased his wife and children and did not leave them anything with which to buy either fo"d or clothes. The deserted wife and children,' the letter went on, are now at Freeport liv ing with Stately's father, who provides for them as best he "can. The Woman Was Not There. The police at once located Stately and his partner living where the Law and Order detective was arrested lat night Inspec tor McKelvey made information against both Stately and Mrs. Welsh. A warrant was issued for the two, but when the officers went to the place the woman was absent, and the men arrested were engaged with a com plete poker lav out. The entire party was sent to Central station in the patrol wagon. In addition to the other charges Stately was charged with keeping a gambling house. When searched at the station a laree package of letters and other things were found on Stately's person. Among other things found was a tintype picture of him self and Mrs. Welsh, also a tintype picture of Charles Bodkins, one of the Law and Order detectives recently arrested on a serions charge. There was also pictures of "Eggy" Conroy and Peter Griffin, the sus- Sected Tarentum murderers ot Mrs. Paul :udert. She toved the I & O. Man. The letters' found on the prisoner's per son all proved to be the sweetest kind of love letters from Mrs. Welsh, many of them being headed, "My Own True Darl ing, "My Darling Husband," etc The appended letter is a specimen of those found upon the prisoner's person.

The com munications were from Examiner Drew and others, and the sanguine tone as to the suc cessful resuscitation of the bank which per vaded tt)em was very striking, when read in the light of the developments which have since occurred. Bepresentatlve Cate, of Arkansas, sud denly broke in upon the reading of the dis patches, in which MK Drew, notwithstand ing the numerous disappointments happen ing in connection with the rehabilitation of the bank, continued to express hope ot the successful termination of the plan, by asking: "Is Mr. Drew a red-headed man? The inquiry took the other members of the committee and Mr. Lacey by surprise, its particular relevancy to the dispatches the Comptroller was reading not being ob vious. Chairman Bacon Inquired "why?" and Mr. Cate remarked that Mr. Drew was so very sanguine he (Mr. Cate) thought he must be red-headed. Adjourned till Tuesday. IHVZ3HGAT1HQ IHB TYPHUS. Mew York Health Officials Find Ho One to Blame in the Matter. New Yobk, April 30. The Senate Com mittee on Immigration and the House Com mittee on Immigration and Naturalization, which are jointly investigating the subject of immigration with a view to recommend ing measures lor its restriction, continued their session to-day. Dr. William T. Jen kins, Health Officer of the port, was ques tioned by Senator Chandler as to the cir cumstances of the typhus fever brought by the steamer Massilio. The witness said he thought the disease had developed some what before the arrival of the vessel here, bnt :onsidered that due dilligenco and care had been exercised in the examination of the immigrants. In Dr. Edson's opinion, the origin of the typhus was in one or two undetected cases received on the Masilia at Constantinople. "Do von think," asked Senator Chandler, "that if the health officials of the port, or the United States surgeons on Ellis Island, had properly examined the Massilia's pas sengers ther would have detected the cases of typhus?" "I very muoh doubt It," replied the doctor. "You blame nobody, then?" "Nobody, unless, perhaps, the ship's surgeon, and I do not know that any blame attaches to him." CHURCHILL OUT FOR LABOR, The Troublesome Tory Publishes a Mani festo as a Parliamentary Candidate. LONDON, April 30. Lord Randolph Churchill has issued a manifesto, in which he sets forth his attitude on the labor ques tion, a point which has hitherto been unde cided. The manifesto is in the form of a letter of a candidate for a seat in the House of Commons. Lord Randolph strongly supports the claims of labor, which, he says, is in a position to legislate for Itself and not to allow land and commerce to legislate for it "Hence forth," the manifesto continues, 'labor will be independent of all political parties, and the latter must recognize the fact" THE DISPATCH DIRECTORY.

It was ad mitted generally in Eorwalk to-day that there was scarcely a single family in 2Tor walk society which was not filled with emotions of some kind by a discovery just made that' "Mr. Herbert Boosevelt Van Eensselaer," of New York, wasonly Arthur Adler, formerly a cloak salesman in the metropolis. Bat Mr. Herbert Boosevelt Van Eensselaer, of New York, had creden tials plenty of them and some of them, if report is trne, of an extraordinary character. It was said to-day thai be came to Norwalk recommended by "his oirn family, the Van Bensselaers," the Astorsand the Vander bilts. His first appearance was at thp residents of Bev. EL M. Selleck, formerlyjastor rt IkJ.. A OU. 9 XJjJISVUpiU V41U11.U, hue UlUCSk 1 mcit fashionable church of Norwalk. Sir. Selleck is now principal of a select academy for boys. Before he became a minister he--had a military academy in Norwalk. Among his teachers at that time was P. V. Hnysoon. The latter now has a teachers' asency in New York, and when Mr. Selleck applied to him for a competent teacher of ancient and modern languages Mr. Huysoon sent up Mr. Herbert Boosevelt Van Eensse laer. Warm letters of Recommendation. He sent a warm letter of recommendation along, and this, together with the other let ters that "Van Eensselaer" produced, pro cured for him a cordial reception. He was domiciled in the principal's own house and engaged to Instruct the boys in Latin and Greek, French and German. He proved a fluent talker, with easy manners and a large fund of information. Van Eensselaer reached Norwalk in the middle of last Seotember. About six weeks later he disappeared. He left a note for Mr. Selleck. Directly opposite to Mr. Selleck's acad emy lives James L. Stevens, superintend ent of the New York eloak firm of Benja min & Caspary. Mr. Stevens sudden re turn induced Mr. Herbert Boosevelt Van Eensselaer to go away. He had not known that Stevens lived in Norwalk. He went to New York and telegraphed, asking Stevens to meet him at the Fifth Avenna Hotel. He signed bis real name to the telegram, and Stevens responded. Betrayed In an Odd Manner. Stevens knew Adler well, for Adler had been a salesman in the plush cloak depart ment of Benjamin & Caspary several years before. Adler told Stevens frankly what he was doing, and begged Stevens not to be tray him. "He told me," said Stevens, to-day, "that he had been very hard up. I felt sorry for him and promised to say nothing provided he would not attempt to ose his adopted name to get into society.-- He promised. I said nothing to anybody, not even to my wile." Adler, feelin? safe now, returned to Nor walk as Van Eensselaer. He satisfied Mr. Selleck that family matters hid called him away, and he retained Mr. Selleck's confi dence. Everybody seems to h3 liked, him, and to have been struck by his brl1 liant conversational powers. He was the greatest ladv-killer ever known in Norwalk. The wealthiest girls of the place quar reled with each other to gain his atten tions. The daughter of a physician, a wealthy man, ior a long time seemed to be his favorite. They went driving together in her cart a gtint deal, and it was generally believed that they wonld be married. After a while, however, he ceased to devote him self to her, and was more catholic in his attentions. Always Tickle After a Few Weeks. His interesting plan was to pay special atttention to each for a week or so, and then drop ber. The physician's daughter and the other discarded lavorites after her became jealous. Tbey talked about him. cast doubts upon his veracity, and awakened vazue suspicions. Becently, whe,i "Ward McAllister's re vised list of ISO wsU printed, Van Eensselaer said that the two Van Eensselaer ladies mentioned in it werkhis cousins. He spoke to the young men of his-nine beautiful over coats. He said he had been educated in Vienna and bad inherited a fortune from his father, James Van Kens'elaer. A month ago he was still the-.hero at the cotillon given by Thomi. Morrison, the millionaire. Last Mon day night he attended a "social" in the Congregationnl Chnrch at New Canaan. There the rumor that he was an imposter first took the form of a general accusation. Nothing was said to him, but it was noised about in the gTonps of dancers. The girls still clung to him, but their parents frowned upon him. Mr. Stevens had returned then, and it was believed that he had told some thing of what he knew, although he denied it to-day. The Tonne Man Admits the Corn. The report came to Mr. Selleck's ears, and he -had an interview with his teacher, which resulted in the lattcr's resignation and promise to leave Norwalk. To-day ha was packing up. The Dispatch reporter found him out walking with a Cuban. He admitted that his real name was Adler. "I had intended to pay farewell calls," he said calmly, "but now I will not. I haven't done anything wicked. I do come of a good lamily, and I wish you would not print my real name on their account. They won't arrest me, will they? I am going away to night." A sheriff was looking for him in the after noon, with an unpaid bill of $100 from his tailor.' Horace Dann, tha liveryman, also has a bill. Dann says Adler recently called unon him and wanted to procure an En glish turnout. He wanted to hire it for the summer. Dann declined, in tne lace ot the bill already due. It is not known whether Adler borrowed any money from his social acquaintances or not, and none of thesa- would tell. Many of the jprls still like him, and there was a prodigious lot of weeping when it was known that he was going away. The brother of the physician's daughter weighs i 250 pounds, and, with several other voun; men, nas lurcuicueu to mrasn ir.m. 10 keeps secluded, however, and may avoid punishment. He says he Is going to New York. r THE BTTBIIBSASTTSY ALL BIGHX. An .Examination Disclose! tbe Pact Thai the Cash Is Still There. New Yoek, April 30.
