against her--Foreign News,

LONDON, March 9l,-The following al.
yertisement appeared in the London pa
pers; Zone hundred pounds reward for
the recovery, or for such information as
will lead to thereCovery, oitwobundIes,
containing important papers and doCu-
ments relating to Wilberforce, One was
sent by messenger to the American Con-
sulate in Jhne, 1883, and the other about
March, 1886, Apply to A, II, Holmes,
Solicitor, No, SO King street, Cheapside,
E, o."
While the correspondent was at the
Consulate asking questions about the
missing papers, Mr.. Thorndike Nourse
came in, Consul General Waller said
that though the date given was before
his term Of office, he was sure that the
papers were not in the Consulate office.
Mr.. Frigot, who has been In tho Office OF
the United States Consul for twenty-five
years past, said that they had never been
sent there.
On inquiry II was learned that the
missing papers referred TO the disappear
ance OF Mr.. Frederick Nourse, and It was
surmised that the advertisement had
some relations TO the woman who had
made inquiries concerning Mr.. Nourse
at the Continental Hotel last Friday.
Mr.. Nourse's relatives in Boston read
the dispatch and cabled to Mr., Thorn.
dixie Nourse, the brother OF tho missing
man, WHO'S living here, TO look into the
matter.
By inquiry at the solicitors, It was
learned that Wilberforce was thename OF
the woman, who lived as a servant In the
reCtory In Herts, about fifty miles out OF
London. She was In the city last week
asking about Mr.. Frederick Nourso, and
claimed that she had sent important
papers connected with the case to the
Consulate for safe keeping, which had
got lost. Her description Tailed exactly
with that OF the woman who had called
at the Continental Hotel. She went
back TO Herts without seeing Captain
Stead, declaring he' intention to come
back this week, She probably will not
come. Investigation proved beyond q
doubt that in the year 1883, when the
woman claims she sent the papers TO the
Consul, she was serving a sentence OF
imprisonment In London for perjury.
Mr.. Thorndike Nourse sail that the
woman was u madhouse nurse who came
to himsoon after his brothers disappear
ance, and said that she had seen him in
q lunatiC asylum in Wales, and wanted
money to go find him. "T gave her my
brother'spicture," continued Mr.. Nourse,
"and told her that the reward offered
was quite sufficient TO induce her TO
search. This was the plctrse that she
showed to Mr.. Pelican, the manager OF
the Continental Hotel. Whether the
woman is crazy herself or has got hold OF
some scheme Of blackmail don't know;
but she does not know anything about
my missing brother. WehGve carefully
searched all the lunatic asylums Of Great
Britain during the last three years, and
there Is not man In one OF them whose
identity is unknown"

Henry Wizards Plan to Consolidate all th
Edison Electric Companies.

Henry Wizards Plan to Consolidate all th'
Edison Electric Companies,
NEw YoRE, March 2l-The grea
scheme Of Henry Willard, whereby al
the Edison electric light companies were
to be consolidated into one gigantic con
cern, is reported to have collapsed, A
few weeks ago a company with an au
thorized capital Of $l2, 100000 was chart.
cred by the State OF New Jersey. The
purpose Of this corporation was to con,
solldate the separate organizations
which have hitherto divided the bus
iness OF manufacturing and selling the
Edison electric light appliances. Henry
s, Willard undertook 10 accomplish this
reorganization and to Obtain from his
German friends sveral millions Of new
capital.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. and Winslow,
Lancer & Co, have for long time been
the principal bankers OF the Edison
companies, and Mr.. Wizards plan was
to form q syndicate by adding to the
number OF these prominen. American
bankers the DeutsChe bank and Siemens
and Holske, Of Berlin, aud Stern, Of
Frankfort, This arrangement at one
time seemed on the point Of completion,
but for some reason or other 1t is averred
that Mr., Willard has been unable 10
bring 1t about in the manner desired.
An appeal Is now being made by him
to American capitalists 10 come TO the
rescue. Various reasons are given for
the failure OF the scheme, but probably
the true explanation is that the recent
decision In Canada annulling the Edison
inCandescent lamp patents there has led
the advisers OF the German members oi
the proposed syndicate TO the conclusion
that the Edison patents are not worth
the money that Is being asked for them
