QUlNiANS DISAPPEARANCE.
Mystery Concerning the Whereabouts

Mystery Concerning the Whereabouts oi
tho New York Broker.
New York, Afay 81 should not be
surprised If Washington Quinlan turned
up in the river" said Stock Exchange
man yesterday, who knew The missing
broker well. "He was a nervous little
man. don't think he was particularly
strong in the head, and the Losses re-.
sulting from his wild and reckless short
sales on Thursday may have turned his
BRAIN" u1.-
Mr.. Quinlan's failure is going to turn
out much more serious thing han was
at first supposed, ns Wall street men are
beginning 10 lind out. "I don't believe
Quinlan's estate will pan out much y
said friend of his yesterday. ''rhc in.
heritance from his fathers estate was
not 500, 600, as the papers said on Tues.
day. 1t was nearer 100000. I believe
he has lost it all, and that the 100000
which he owes MS the result OF his lust
wild splurge will not be paid"
There are some unpleasant stories
atloat rs to Quinlan's recent operations,
in addition to the claim OF Miss Ellen
(luinlan, the relative who charges that
the missing broker has failed to account
Tor $4,000 OF her money, similar story
was told yesterday. The Nebraska
Loan and Trust Company, Of Hastings
Neb., is anxious to know what Qninlan
did with $4,000 worth oil securities
which the company had intrusted to
him. The company employed coun-
sci yesterday to look after its
interests, and tho result oi bis
investigations was, it is said, demand
upon the Holland Trust Company for
$4,000 first mortgage bonds OF the
Nebraska Company, which had been
hypotheca.ed by Quinlan for a loan,
among other securities. The officials OF
the Holland company finally agreed to
surrender the bombs on payment Of the
portion Of the loan represented by the
Nebraska bonds. The Nebraska COM
pany's agent had to give his check for
81 900, they say, before the bonds were
surrendered. -
The Omaha Loan 4 Trust Company
are also deeply interested in Quinlan't
transactions. They have secured coun.
sci in this city by telegraph and instruc'
tions by mail are waited. Meanwhile
Quinlan, so his friends and counsel say
has not been heard from aud cannot b,
found. They think he wandered away
while insane. T II

Residents of Livingston and Montana

planned that the company was now using all

LABOR MATTERS.

The Master Builders and Their Relations
70 the WorsinSmen.
The Helena Builders and Manufacturers
Exchange will, at it next meeting, take up
the matter of appointing committee to
confer with the representatives of labor
organizations id regard to fixing scale OF
wages for the coming year. The idea of
will be just to both the employers and the
workingmen. 1t will allow the former to
make contra cts on basis which will not be
disturbed for year. and will give the
assurance that their pay will remain I'M
changed for the same period. The advan-
tages claimed by both sides are the absence
of cause for strikes, and the harmony that
would follow strict observance OF the
compact. The agreement to be made con-
templates fixing the hours of labor, as we'll
as wages to be paid the different trades.
Meantime the difference between the mas
ter plumbers and their jOurneymem re-
main unsettled. The employers show no
disposition to yield the disputed point, and
the men seem equally determined to hold
out until the hydrants all freeze up. Such
an event, the men think, would be to their
advantage. The master plumbers, how
ever, are mostly all skilled mechanics them
selves, and think they can yet handle a leak
no desire to agitate the matter and are
quietly awaiting cold weather.
The only other labor matter that IS un-
settled is the fight between the BARRIERS
union and the shop under the Grand Cen
trail over the refusal of the latter to close
on Sunday. From present appearances the
difference is not likely to be settled soon.

from c. W. Cannon to the effect that he
has sold within the past few DAYS property
to the amount of $37, $50, the taxes upon
which are S263.33. He asked to be relieved
ed and the amount will be collected from
the new owners.
Mr.. Folk was also informed through
communication from the county assessor
that the gas company's city assessment was
$4,000 more than that of the county. It
was found that the county assessor had
omitted to assess the gas plant and sur
rounding property. and he said he would
not include it, because the company was
paying taxes on an assessment of $4,000
for its mains, and he did not think it just
to make them pay on $4,000 for the gas
works. The city council thought different
~, however, and instructed the treasurer.
upon motion of Alderman Wilmer, to col
lect on all of the property and to so notify
Mr.. Cannon.
A Mr.. Maggie was permitted to sell trees
without q license.
The bill of the Western Electric company

permit granted to G. l.. Vawter to build IN
extension to the Merchants hotel that
would interfere with traffic in the alley be-
tween Warren and jackson streets was re-
yoked.
! A petition for grade for the same alley
was referred to the city engineer.
motion was adopted to the effect that
any building permit granted hereafter
shall include that sewer connection shall be
made, as a part of the permit.
The street and alley committee was in
structed to devise some plan that will COM
pei the street car companies to clean up the
snow from their tracks, instead of leaving
it stand on both sides. where it is thrown
by the snow plows, proving nuisance to
vehicles.
The plat of the Court House addition to
Helena owned by kleinschmidt and Can

committee.
