The whereabouts of de Riviere still remains a
mystery and up TO late hour last evening no intel
hgence had been received regarding him. It is cur
rently suspected that officer McDonough, who be-
came his bondsman, could readily produce the miss
ing Zouave, but he denies all knowledge of his
whereabouts. At the time he disappeared from the
Napoleon Hotel, the above officer was also found to
be among the missing, and was not again seen
until the following day. McDonough takes the
matter very easy, especially for one who
has 900 invested in the Affair." He stout
ly denies knowing where the captain is con-
cealed, but says that be has no doubt but that he
will make his appearance, should the Grand Jury
indict him. In regard to the manner in which he
made his escape, HcDonough told our reporter that
de Riviere was standing on the piazza Of the hotel
when The Jersey City officers came in to arrest him.
There wss considerable dispute 1t first iDsogard 10
the officers being allowed to proceed through the
hotel before de Rivieres counsel General Wright)
arrived. While this was going on, he says, the
captain came down by the door leading into the
barroom, from the sidewalk and on seeing what
was out, Immediately passed through the upper hall
and down to the barroom door, leading from the
kitchen. Here he inquired who were the men that
wanted to arrest him. Receiving no answer, he
passed through the barroom, out into the street,
which was the last he saw of him. 1t is very re-
markable that the officer should be so well posted
in the captains movements up to this time, and
then let him slide away from him at the last minute
There can be no doubt but McDonough aided him in
his escape and it IS to be regretted that he should
allow himself to be made tool of and thus aid in
defeating the ends of justice. He has always COM
handed the respect of q very large portion of the
citizens of Hoboken, and was but recently appointed
Chief of Police.
De Riviere there can be no doubt, is still in Ho-
boken, though it is reported that he was conveyed
aboard schooner late on the above evening" and Is
now on his way to Havana.
MIR. Huncke, the proprietor OF the Napoleon Ho
tel, complains that he has lost more by this affair
than he can make up for some time; during the first
attack on his house by tie police he says that there
were stolen a very valuable silver cup from his
room, and also cane, worth $780, from one or his
boarder's rooms he also charges the Jersey City
officers with going through the various rooms, and
using very inappropriate language to a female
boarder, who was lying sick in bed in one of the
apartments. As to de Riviere, he denies all know
ledge as to knowing where he is, but says that he
has all his clothing, which he intends TO hold on TO
until his board bill is paid, which amounts to nearly
800. The captain, during the time he was at
the hotel, had quite large number OF
Germans and Italians call to see him, and it is
reported it was through them he succeeded in rails
ing about fifty dollars He paid his board bill for
the first day he at the Napoleon, but since that
he has been getting everything on credit.
just previous to the captains disappearance, a
French gentleman, who has been acquainted with
him for some time, called TO see him, and while in
conversation asked the Zouaye why he insisted in
destroying the happiness of Mr. Bount and his
family, he knowing full wen that it was
never his intention TO marry Miss BloGnt.
he was well aware of that fact, but Mrs. Bount was
worth about $50 000 that her husband had not got
anything, and he would like to know il he thought
that he Ode Rviere) was fool enough to lose that
pile.
This is something like a remark which Mrs. Biount
was said TO have made which was that she was Ger
tain 70 make her daughter-by allowing her 10 mar
ry de Riviereone Of the first ladies' Of France; that
she would be Duchess and one of the first ladies to
the Empress.
As 20 Mrs Blount she still remains at the hotel she
has written on to Mobile for money with which, when
it arrives, she says she will pay up all her bills, and
then proceed to Mobile and sell her estate; after
which she will return North.
During yesterday afternoon quite number called
at the,Napoleon Hotel TO inquire for de Rviere.
About half past eleven o'clock one of the Howard
Hotel coaches drawn by four horses stopped at the
hotel and after short time drove off and proceeded
TO Union HILL which trip they made several times
during the day. Mr.. Huncke stated I, our reporter
that they were TRENDS OF Captam de hviere and
had been looking for him all day. II Is not known
if they were successful in their attempt.
During the past week Hoboken has been the
scene of another like romance, in which the Court
will undoubtedly soon be compelled to take part in
the proceedings. A Miss Louise X, daughter of the
landlord of Vanxhal Garden, Hoboken, wasunited to
young German, lately from the old country, named
Fitzc Y. L., and after the ceremonies were over
the bride went back with her parents TO live, and
Mr. l.. returned TO New York where he was detained
several days on business. On Wednesday last he
learned that his new bride had been married the day
previous TO a certain Mr.. Muller, OF Bremen. Ac-
cordiDgy he went post haste 10 Hoboken and de-
that what had been told him was too tr,e and that
she was claimed by another. He Immediately sent
word 10 his rival but he could obtain satisfaction
and he intends 20 resort 10 the law for divorce
The young lady Is said TO be stopping at some small
less Than three men. The facts win no doubt soon
be brought to light.
