FATHER-IN-LAW SAID TO BE DisSAIlsFli.D--A
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM.
cable dispatch from Paris, received in this
city day or two ago, relates interesting piece Of
gossip which deals with the affairs OF two men we'll
known in this country Although no names were given
in the dispatch those who read between It's lines would
have difficulty u identifying the persons referred TO
as ouis A. Von Hoffman, the banker OF No. so Wall-st
and his sonn- law. the Marquis dc Mores, the young
Aragonese nobleman who is known I'm this country
through his connection with the cattle business In
Dakota and the scheme to furnish Eastern consumers
with meats brought directly from the feeding grounds OF
the cattle in the far West.
The story told is to the effect thai there has been
serious disagreement between Mr.. Won Holman aud his
sonin-law over the latters Investments IN the meat
business, which Is said to have proved unpohtabe ana
that the banker has decided to withdraw the financial
support which he has hitherto given the Marquis IN his
ventures 1t is furthermore said that MI. Won Hoffman
intends to close up his business affairs In this country
md to AXE up his permanent abode In Paris Tue one
statement in the dspatch which seems to cast doubt
upon the identity OF OF the persons referred TO Is that
the young nobeman has been in France during tue last
month and is Just about TO sail for America The Mar
ouis de Mores Is now Medora, Dakota, aud has not
been in France this year.

tents of the dispatch related yesterday. sad 1t
true that there has been disagreement between the
MARQUIS and MI Won Hoffman, but do not consider II

embarrassing the Marquis, which extremely doubtful

tiOnal Consumers Meat Company.
The public has obtained falss impression as to De
MOess connection with Lhat CONF any lie was not the
originator OF scheme the organizer OF the com
paly, aud is not by any means so largely Interested

that he acquired all n in the New York National

While the business In which the various companies

pated IT has nevertheless been sufficiently large to in
