Tho floating debt, which has been as

A sPENDTBRIFr DEAD.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "A private dis
patch received here to-day announces
the death in New York of Il. Dunbar
Price, whose wealth and extravagance
made him we'll known in this country
and Europe. Price was born in this city
In 1850. and by the death OF his grand
father in 1877 inherited an income of
$4,000 a year. linn ediutely he launched
into wild extravaganza, one of his fancies
being a racing stable. In 1881 he mar.
ried Miss Sarah Q. Burton, but in few
months she returned TO her fathers
home.
A reconciliation was afterward
affected, but In 1886 they separated
finally. In 1898 his wife filed bill to
compel the payment of a monthly al
lowance of $500. which Price had
promised her. He paid this up to about
year ago, since when he has refused to
pny any moro, and another suit Is now
pending. BY the terms Of his grand
fathers will the income of about half of
the estate will pass to charitable institu-
,ions. Prices lawyer said to-day that
the young man executed a will nearly
two years ago devising all the property
he might be possessed of TO q young
lady named ''pelly" Booker, who has
been his companion for the past four
years. The death of Price removes all
claim of the widow to the estate, there
being no issue.

SYSTEMATICALLY STEALING,
The Manager Of Dock Signing More

PORTLAND, Dec. 8. Union Pacific of
hcials claim 10 have uu earIhad one of the
biggest systems ever heard of whereby,
during several years past, 1t has been
systematically robbed of thousands of
dollars, but the exact amount of which,
at present, 1t is impossible to learn.
Last night, on complaint of |. i,
Hinchman, freight agent of the COM
pany here, John Ryan, master OF the
steamship dock, was arrested for embez-
element The company claims that Ryan,
who for the past eight years has been
employed as master of the steamships
at the dock, has been in charge of large
gangs Of longshoremen, who were
hired by him to load and unload steam
ers which run between here and San
Francisco and the sound.
While employing large number of
men he did not actually employ as
many as he represented on the books,
and they claim he made it u constant
practice to sign vouchers 10 fictitious
unmcs and draw the money himself.
In this manner he could cheat the conf
pany out OF an immense amount of
money IN the course OF few years.
There Is no doubt he had confederates,
and very sensational deyelopements may
follow. Ryan furnished bail OF So, 900 in

the convention be called for February,

the next annual session of the supreme
council elect delegates to represent this
order IN that convection. This would
not commit the people, but provide n
means whereby they could express
themselves on the question through their
county aud state organization.
During tho coming year, when the
convention meets. delegates would come
there with authority ana instructions
from their people. If people decide in
favor Of INDEPENDENT party action it
will prevail. If not, the cause will still
be benefited by tile conference, and
there w,li be u better understanding of

this will satisfy both parties.

improvements there was progressing,

ing a circuitous route around the end OF
an island, as at present.
About twenty-five minutes in time
Will be saved, and the schedule short
ened up accordingly. Superintendent
McCabe says that il may oe found neces-
sary to put ON the third train again be-
tween Tacoma and Portland, the travel
being too heavy FOR Two trains. Yes
terday one train was run through with
fourteen coaches, four of them Pullman.
Either an additional train is likely to
become q necessity or the running
through of the present trains in two
sections. Travel is likely to increase
rather than decrease on the Pacific di-
vision. because of the flow OF people to
California during the winter.
