FARBER'S GIFT.

The Austrian Consul General at Chica-
go Doubts the Story.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A dispatch from vi
emma in the morning papers states that Gen.
Lawton, United States Minister thore, has
accepted from Harry Farber, rich Ameri-
can, and relative of President Cleveland,
who is studying law at Vienna university,
an offer of 81 900, 900 TO the American gov
eminent with which to endow a university
at Chicago on the Vienna model. Consul
General Caussenius said to-day: Il
do not believe the story. In the first place |
don't know any Harry Farber, but do
know Dr. Ferber, who is wealthy, though
not millionaire and not at all likely to
give his money for such purposes. Further
more, he is not a relative of President
Cleveland He is German born. / doubt
even if gift of 81 ,000, O00-that's $500 600
gulden-would be sufficient to place the
university on its feet here
H. T. Farber, at No. 16l LaSalle street,
when questioned about the dispatch, said
Yes, saw it this morning. Ii means my
son. There is not word of truth in it.
Good day."

CHARLESTON CHAT.
End OF the Malone Escheat Case-A
Constable Drops Dead.

Constable Drops Dead.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 16-The real
property of the estate of the late T. w.
Malone, consisting of twenty-five houses in
the city and suburbs, was sold at auction
to-day and realized about $2l 900. This
ends the celebrated Malone escheat case
Malone came to Charleston many years
ago and began the practice of law. Nobody
knew where he came from or anything
about him. He was very eccentric
and successful in his business, ard
died in 1864, leaving large estate and
without single relative as far as is known
The estate was taken in hand by Mr. BUST,
n well-knowR lawyer, who nursed it until it
has reached the value of nearly $4,000
Various claimants have appeared from time
to time claiming to be heirs, but none Of
these have succeeded in establishing their
claims. Under the laws of this State the
property becomes escheated, and the sale to-
day was made in accordance with an order of
court. Thirty thousand dollars of the
amount goes to the Charleston College, n
few thousand to the Charleston Orphan
House, and the balance TO the free school
fund.
D. J. Cox, negro constable, dropped
dead in the street to-day while escorting a
batch of prisoners TO the penitentiary.
None of the prisoners escaped.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 16.-The first work of
Receiver McConville, of the Metropolitan

bank by the late directors and officers. 1t
now appears that it will be the policy of
the officers to make a total settlement of
all civil claims before going into the
legal fight for alleged violations of
the banking law. President Means has
paid to the receiver $125, 900 for his paper
held by the bank. George X. Duckworth
has paid $4,000 on account, and will pay
the remainder as soon as the amount is

same. What the effect of this course will
have upon the criminal proceedings remains

First Decision.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The Appellate Court

the Doodle cases this morning Both cases
are affirmed. One was the case of Edward S.
Mcdonald, formerly engineer of the county
hospital who was indicted and tried Jointly
with William J. McGarige. After the YER
dict McGarigle escaped to Canada, evidently
fearing the three years penitentiary punish
ment imposed by the jury. AS he was
never sentenced by the court an appeal was
only taken in McDonald's behalf The
other case is what is known as the omnibus
case, in which twelve defenders, eleven of
whom were County or ex-County Commits
sioners were put on trial.
TURNED STATES EVIDENCE.

good faith with the other eleven 1t subse-
quently became known that while Klehm
was attending the consultations of his CO.
defendants he was clandeStinely meeting
States Attorney Grinnell every night and
carrying to him the secrets of the defense
The jury convicted all eleven, and fixed the
punishment of four at a fine OF s 900 each.

tion will witness an importing which will
probably make California the empire State
OF the Union. New York will soon be
brought within four days of San Francisco,
and families with moderate means will
leave Siberian atmospberes for one which
far surpasses the Italian Riviera, or any
other European resort. There is room for
fifty millions of people on the Pacific Slope,
with capabilities 10 develop in material
wealth and resources sufficient to keep
pace with any increase which the whole
capacity of all the Pacific Railway lines
may be able to transport
" To the development predicted by this
impartial observer the recent CT mpletion
of the California and Oregon Railroad, the
Northern Pacific Railroad and the Canadian
Pacific Pailroad is contributing. In re-
cent official publication relating to Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and the Northwest
Territory generally it is claimed that north
of the British line and west of line drawn
north and south through the city of Chi
cago, there are $50, 10000 acres of the
richest land still unoccupied and idle,
awaiting the immigrant and settler This
territory is capable of supporting the aver
age density of populations now found in
the States east of the Mississippi river in
the United States. 1t will, therefore, within
very few years be occupied by many
millions of people. The completion of
railroad facilities makes this land Access
sible, divests pioneer life of the hardships
and deprivations which characterized it a
quarter of century ago, and with these
advantages it is destined to have
early occupation and settlement. The vast
populations hereafter to occupy this region
will necessarily be consumers of the fruit
products of California. This marked diff
ference between climatic conditions, which
is the basis of all commercial exchange,
makes the countries under consideration
naturally supplemental to each others
wants. The higher uses, therefore, to
which the soils of California are being de-
voted are to be stimulated and augmented
by the markets rapidly opening to US in the
northwest. These markets will make the
higher uses we have discovered for the soils
of California permanently profitable, and
will eventually confer upon landed estates
in this State perhaps higher average value
than has been attained elsewhere in the
civilized world"
The further report of the Directors and
the supplemental reports of the depart
ments of their company will be synoptically
presented hereafter.
