Here he remained but a short tiice, when liCj disappeared, and nothiug further was heard of him until his body was found in New Jersey. It seems, al-o, that when Fellner left the ho- hotel Ratz-ki opposed his obtaining a car riage,, nnd procured a boy to carry his The officers also ascertained that :ie had a very large amount of French money in his poS'esMon and a quantity of diamonds whieh were examined bv the ustoai House offices on bis arrival here.
