A Plan for the Worlds Fair.

New YORK, Aug. 20. - Eighteen OF
the twenty five financiers selected by
Mayor Grant to constitute the finance COM
mittee of the projected Worlds fair in 1892
were present this afternoon at the initial
meeting in the mayors Office Many mil
lions of money were represented in the
gathering, and the unity of feeling was
marked. Jesse Seligman made an address
in which he counseled prompt action in the
matter of securing funds for the success
full carrying out of the great event. He
submitted a plan in which he said
SIS, 000,0 900 would be necessary for the un-
dertaking. A company should be organized
to issue stock to the amount mentioned
which stock would command 2per cent. in
terest and be guaranteed by the city OF
New York. The city should be authorized
to assume such responsibility by the pas
sage of an act to that end at the next ses-
sion of the state legislature. The stock
should be exempt from taxation and Con-
gress should be asked to give it's hearty
support to the scheme at its session in
December, then the stock should be divided
into as small as $40 shares, when the pub
lie generally would have an opportunity to
subscribe. The remainder of the stock, if
any should remain, could find ready mar
kets. Seligman asked that his plan be
simply received for consideration and il
was so ordered. This plan, with others tC
be submitted and to be received, will be
presented to the committee, who will be
asked to select the one more feasible and
worthy of consideration.

morning. His case is so extraordinary
that it has attracted the attention not only
of the curious public but of the medical
fraternity far and near. He was eighty
five years old. On June 13 Marvel ate his

took absolutely nothing into his stomach.
On the thirty eighth he. bit off piece of

day he drank small quantity
of milk, and at irregular periods he has con

was such as would be expected. The

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 2O.-Mormon
elders have been doing effective missionary
work in this state and the effects are be-
ginning to be felt in a serious way. There
is a critical situation in some counties.
Serious trouble is brewing in Wheeling,
where is to be found a congregation Oh
saints with a church building of their own,
and in which regular services are held.
The converts made here have been mostly
women. Some of them have been exported
to Utah in the counties of Ritchle, Calhoun'
Grant and Pendleton. The elders, or mis-
sionaries as they call themselves, are
working in the boldest manner. Ihey
have made an astonishing number OF con-
verts and scores eff families have peeh
broken up in consequence. Cases are nu
merous where entire families have re-
nounced their former faith and united with
the Mormon church. More numerous.
however. are cases where family ties have
been broken, where wives have deserted
husbands and husbands wives to cast their
lot with the Mormons. Many Young
girls have been induced to leave their
homes and go to Utah. The feeling is very
bitter against them and an organized move
ment to drive them out is probable

in West Chester county, on the Harlem

the city limits. The new course has the
finest buildings and arrangements of any

the largest and most complete of any in the

A MilIionaire,s Wife Missing.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O-The wife of million
ARE Mike Mcdonald, the noted ex-gambler
and politician, is missing. The circum-
stances are most extraordinary. Mrs. Nc
Donald disappeared from her home at the
corner of Ashland boulevard and Harrison
street week ago last Friday, and though
a small army of detectives have been re-
tanned to discover her whereabouts, they
have succeeded only in obtaining her dia-
mouds, pawaed or sold somewhere in the
east. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Mcdonald

this evening that she had as a companion a
Catholic priest who, it was alleged, had
since been unfrocked by the church.
The priest is supposed to have
had parish at South Chi
cago. or some suburb in that
locality. The story is that Mrs. Mcdonald
became acquainted with the priest while
he was on visit to the parish of which
she is a member. He became infatuated
with her and the admiration was recipro-
Gated and an elopement was planned and
executed on the momentous Friday even

matter for week, though he was aware of
the search. Then he told ''Mike'' Nc

Donald to keep her secret for a week. He
refuses to talk.
Mcdonald was found at a late hour to-
night and acknowledged the truth of the
story. Father j. NOysant, of Notre Dame
church, French Catholic congregation, is
the fugitive clergyman. He is about
twenty-seven years old, while Mrs. Melon
aid is nearly fifty and gray haired grand
mother Her husband, unlike his clerical
rival, is man of handsome presence. Mrs.
Mcdonald took with her in money, cloth
ing and Jewels not to exceed five thousand
dollars Mcdonald says the guilty pair
underwent a marriage ceremony before a
priest, for what purpose no one can guess.
In this respect the elopement is a parallel to
a similar escapade ten years ago in which
Mrs. Mcdonald figured with Billy

his wife at that time to California, and she

FROM SPOKANE FALLS.
A Salt Laker Who Saw the Fire from Start to
Finish

Henry Siegel, of the firm OF
Goldsmith & Co., returned yes
terday from a trip to the firms
branch house in Spokane Falls; while
there he saw the branch burnt out root and
branch in the big confagration, with loss
of $4,000. By some lively telegraphing,
however, they got a big stock on hand from
Butte and this city and re-opened for bust
ness Immediately after the fire. Their loss
was fully covered by insurance.
HAD the fire occurred here.i said Mr..
Siegel, 'sthey would have had it out in fif-
teen minutes. They didn't have the power
there, and the man who had charge of the
pumps was off fishing when the fire oc-

didn't understand how to work them. AT
first it was a simple fire in shed,
and the people VINO gathered around out of
curiosity could have put it out with
buckets. 1t spread, however, to a big hotel,
then to the Northern Pacific depot, and
before it stopped there were forty squares

prominent figures is Warren Hussey, who
runs a bank there with 100000 deposits.
He opened out for business at o'clock the
next morning after the fire.

Severe Storm in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 2O.-The storm which
prevailed last night and this morning was
one of the most severe ever experienced
here. Two inches of water fell between
3 and p. NJ. and light, constant and vivid
lightning. The storm was general through
out this section, doing considerable dam
age. At several places houses were struck
by lightning and considerably damaged.
The streets also are badly washed out At
Eau Claire the first large agricultural
building of the Northwestern Fair associa-
tion was destroyed by fire caused by light
ming. Several houses in the vicinity were
also struck and badly damaged At Duluth
the damage is estimated at $4,000. Great
losses are feared, as the storm was very

Arranging Peace in HaYti.

New YORK, Aug 20.-A special from
Port au Prince of August says that the
Spanish gunboat Sanchez was at St. Marc
Monday morning having the English con-
sul-general and the Spanish consul aboard.
Their visit was theresult of conference

ton of the two consuls mentioned, who
were empowered to make peace with Hip

night and next morning, but no kill ing was
done. This evening the English gunbOat
Forward left here, Legitime probably hav-

a rumor on the streets tonight that Legi-

cash and that he is, to arrive on French
steamer on August IA, but many think his
life would not be spared that long in Port

THE RIO GRANDE ROBBERS.

Deputy Franks Returns-No Reasonable Hope
to Believe They viii be Taken.
Deputy Franks returned yesterday morn
ing from his pursuit of the fellows who
recently held up the Rio Grande western
train at Thompsons springs, and he does
not give mach encouragement to those who
were anxious that the highwaymen should
be caught and placed where they would be
unable to again paralyze unoffending pas
sengers. The party, which included
Deputy Franks, Sheriff Fowler, John Bush
and cattle man named Brown, Travelled
during their absence nearly seven
hundred miles, through what the
deputy describes as one of the most
Godforsaken countries that man ever laid
eyes on The bloodhound taken along
did not help to any extent. II was nearly
thirty hours after the robbery was COM
mitted before the officers were enabled to
start on the trail, and by that time it had
grown cold and the robbers had obtained
too much of start. The deputy does not
believe that they were ever closer than fif-
teen miles to the object of their desires,
and it was evident to him that
THE FELLOWS HAD coNFEDERATEs
through the entire country they traversed.
About the only person they were enabled
to get any information from was Bishop
Hammond, whom they encountered at Cane
springs. They would have kept on the
trail, however, had it not been for
the fact that their horses gave out and food
was getting scarce. The officers regret very
much that the railway officials were not
more prompt in forwarding information of
the hold-up, and believe that had the intel
ligence been wired here on the evening of
the occurrence and a special engine pro-
vided they might have been able to accom-
plish some good. OF course, there is yet a
faint chance that the fellows may be ap-
pretended, but it is not such one as gives
out much hope.
Bishop Hammond says he does not be-
lieve there is any reason to hope for their
ultimate capture. "Once in the Blue
mountain country he said, ''the robbers
are among their friends, who will help
them in every possible way and dy all they

The CrOnin Case.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The police have Sc
cured some important evidence in the
Cronin case. 1t is to the effect that on the
night of the murder of DR.. Cronin, horses
belonging to P. o. Sullivan, the ice man
now in jail as one of the Cronin murderers,
was attached to one of his wagons and
driven rapidly in the vicinity where the
murder was committed by three excited
men, and that the horses were driven in
frontn of a saloon in Lakeview about
o'clock, and that they were covered with
foam and the men went in and had drink.
1t has been supposed ever since the murder
that these horses remained in the barn all
that night. The police admit to be sub
stantial the correctness of these state
ments, but decline to speak further about
the matter, except to say that one of the
men in the wagon is in jail.
The police claim tonight to have discov-
cred the tin smith who has identified Mar
tin Burke as the man for whom he soldered
the tin box the Monday after the tragedy
and which is thought, so the police say, to
have contained Cronin's clothing. A sec
ond tin box, soldered, is supposed to have
contained the missing instrument case.

His reasons for so doing are because
