A YOUNG FIANCEE
CRUELTY DECEIVED.
Ad0lph Burke Taken TO Utah on
a Requisiti0n.
Assuming to Be Wealthy, He swindled q
Young Girl of Salt Lake City on Prstenss
of Marriage and Then Levanted

Some eight days ago J. M. Young, Chief
of Police of Salt Lake City, arrived in San
Francisco and since then has been every
day in company with the leading police
officials. His visit was ostensibly one of
pleasure, and being genial companion,
! title notice of his presence was taken by
newspaper men.
1t was discovered yesterday that his visit
was one of official business, and that the
case was of such delicate nature that he
had taken the charge upon himself RAJ her
than send one of his detectives or deputies
His real object was to secure the arrest OF a
young man named Adolph Burke, who while
in Salt Lake City managed TO swindle the
daughter of prominent citizen out of $500
on pretense of marriage Her name is with
held on account Of the prominence Of her
family.
Burke, who is a good-looking man and
given to stylish dress, palmed himself off in
Salt Lake City as the son of wealthy CAL
ifornian. He met the young lady men
toned and soon engaged her affections, and
the wedding day was fixed.
BORROWING WAS HIS FORTE.
Burke then represented to her that he
wa a little short of money, and borrowed
small sum from her: He kept on increas-
ing his demands, until the sum amounted
to 81 800. Notwithstanding this conduct no
suspicious were excited on the part of the
young lady. Suddenly, however. he disap-
peared.
His young intended waited for him some
time befors she began to realize that she had
fallen in with swindler and adventurer,
and had been victimzed by his wileS. Her
relatives then plared the matterin the hands
of Chief Young, who soon learned where
Burke had gone, and determined to pursue
him himself to San Francisco.
On arriving here he placed an accurate de-
scripti0n of Burke in the hands of the po-
lice, and Chief Crowley soon had the entire
police force OF the State on the lookout for
the adventurer. 1t was discovered that
Burke on his arrival in San Francisco had
put up at the most fashionable hotels, where
he spent money with high hand.
On Wednesday last Burke was captured
in Alameda by Chief Tompkius OF the Oak
land police. Chief Young was at once mott
fled of the arrest, and Immediately set out
for Sacramento, where he obtained requi-
stion from Governor Waterman for the ex-
tradition of Burke.
Young returned to this city yesterday, and
in the afternoon took his prisoner from the
tanks at the City Prison, and after thanking
the police for the kind manner in which he
had been treated, LETT Tor his home in Salt
Lake.
The prisoner, Burke, stated that he was
"willing to go back, a remark which was
probably based on the hope of again gaining
the con fidenee of his erstwhile fancee.

BARON DE HIRSCH.
A Brief Sketch of the ell-Known He
hrew Philanfhropist.

A Brief Sketch of the Well Known He
brew Philanthropist.
The Baron Norris de Hirsch de Gereuth
was born in Bavaria some half century ago.
His father was man of wealth, who for
ability and services rendered the State was
ennobled, and from the former Baron comes
the title Morris de Hirsch bears. Many
amusing stories are still rife among the
Baron's c0reiigionists, the Jews, of his
Quickness in repartee, Originally cattle
merchant, he showed great business ability.
Once entering into conversation with the
old King of Bavaria, his Majesty expressed
his surprise at the Baron Hirsch's rapid
summary Of many important commercial
subjects.
How comes it," inquired the King,
90 that you art so apt? Your acquaintance
with la haute finance is perfect And how
could you too have made so comfortable
fortune dealing in cattle?
Easily enough, your Majesty. l dealt in
cattle, but with cattle"
That joke, not exactly flattering to the
Bavarians. delighted the King.
After his fathers death the present Baron
associated himself with the European bank
ing-house of Bischoffsheim & Goldsmith.
Early in life Baron de Hlrsch struck out
path for himself, and was the first to plan
that system of railways which stretches out
from Central Europe to the further East.
He was the controlling spirit in that vast
work, the road leading from Buda Pesth, in
Hungary, to Yarna, on the Black Sea.
This road, which has developed Austrian
resources, required at its inception an enor-
nous capital Natural difficulties might
have disappeared through engineering
skill, but there were many obstruc-
lions arising from State jealousies.
BY din: of sheer will and financial
capabilities of the highest order the Baron
de Hirseh's plans were carried out, and after
many years of anxious toll success came, and
great wealth accrued to the originator of the
road. No one in England impugns the high
standing of the father of the present Lord
Brassey, who was plain Thomas Brassey,
and to whom an honorable fortune came in
precisely the same way. Baron de Hirsch
put his shoulder to the wheel, and did not
cry to Hercules.
Having married Miss Bischoffsheim,
lady possessing in her own right large
MEANS the Baron de Hirsch some years ago
retired from business, but not to assume
life Of elegant leisure. To-day this man and
his wife have no other end in view than the
prosecution of good works, for beyond such
means as enables them to live all the rest of
their incomes serves for the alienation Of
suffering mankind without regard to creed.
