SEARCH FOR sILCOTT.
Neither He Nor Herminie Thiebault
Can BE Found I'm Quebec.

QUEBEC, Dec. 9.-All the hotels, boarding
houses and places Of questionable resort in
this city have been searched by detectives and
reporters within the past few days for the
Washington defaulter (silcott) and his COM
panion, Herminie Thiebault, but without sue
cess. The detectives never knew a woman
here answering Herminie's description and Of
that name, but there was one Eugcnie The
bault here two or three years ago who fairly
answers the description given. The police here
think that either the avowed intention of the
couple to come to Quebec was blind or that
they have stayed over at point further west
and have not yet reached Quebec.

Neighbors tenderiy bore them to the house
