made to discover Hanchette's hwere-
abouts.
THEORIES ABOUT THE MYSTERY.
1t is unlikely that any accident re-
sulting in his death or severe injury
could have happened to Mr.. Hanchette
after he was once started for home, as
in that case there were papers on his
person that would have readily identi-
fed him. Further. his baggage, if
checked through, must have arrived ere
this, and that is plainly marked with
bis name, while his clothing is similarly
marked.
Mr.. Hanchette was poorly provided
with money for any trip, as it is known
that he could not have had more than
$75 with him. His salary for some
time back remains undrawn to his ac-
count, and he had no means of raising
any considerable sum that would not
readily have been discovered in the
search for the missing man.
/. It has been stated that the acc cunts
of the carnival could not be Strengthened
up until the arrival of Mr.. Hanchette.
The accounts were not in the hands Of
Mr.. Hanchette, but under the care Of
Mr.. Wells, and have all been squared
up and closed Mr.. Hanchette, as man
ager, had nothing to do with the hand
ling of any money, and the idea that
financial matters had anything to do
with the disappearance is absurd, con-
sidering all the circumstances OF the
case.
No theory other than the one advanced
by Mrs. Hanchette as to his disappear
ance has been suggested by those ac-
quainted with the facts.

HANCHETTE's DIsAPPEARANCE.
What the Associated Press Says About
the Missing Man.

What the Associated Press Says About
the Missing Man.
CHICAGO, May 17.-H. J. Hanchette,
secretary of the Los Angeles chamber ol
commerce, and manager Of the Califor-
MIA orange carnival, recently exhibited
here, is said to be missing since the 9TH
instant. The matter has been reported
to the police, who have been notified to
look for him. 9. d. Hanchette, the
missing mans brother, who lives here,
is of the opinion that he has faileA a
victim to foul play. The last seen OF
Hancbette was when he was in a
Clark street ticket brokers' office,
about O'Clock, on the night
of the ,7th instant. At s O'Clock
he intended to leave for Los Angees over
the Santa Fe, with the carnival party.
Earlier in the day he had carried his
luggage to the Dearborn station, and left
it with the check boy. 1t has been as
certained that man answering Han
chette's description claimed the parcels
at the station about 8 80 O'Clock the
same evening and walked toward the
gate as though to take the train. His
friends in Chicago, E. G. Smith, his
aunt, Mrs. Murphy, and his grand
father, Mr.. Griffith, concluded that he
had taken a later train for home, and a
week passed before any inquiry was
made in this city,. On Saturday
a telegram was received from G. d. Will
lard, Hanchette's assistant at Los An
geles, stating that no news had been
learned from him in nine days, and that
his wife is terrified. The missing man
is 35 years old and prominent citizen
of Los Angeles. He was a member of
the board of education and director of
the public library. He was once city
editor of the Los Angeles HERALD, and
has been connected with various San
Francisco dailies. When last seen he
had about $500 with him. His friends
say he had no bad. habits. "A full de-
scription of the missing man has been
furnished the police, who will try to
ascertain his whereabouts.
SAN DIEGO, May 17.-R. III. Young,
one of San Diego's delegates to the
orange carnival, at Chicago, says that
when he left on the 9th inst, HI. j.
Hanchette was preparing to return to
the coast with party OF friends over
either the Northern Pacific or Canadian
Pacific railroads. If he took the latter
route, it is probable that Mr.. Hanchette
may still be on the way to Los Angeles,
as twelve days are required to make the
trip on that line.

THE BARON'S HOUSE.
1T WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE LAST
EVENING.
Part of the Contents Saved, But Many
Valuable Articles Lost.

Baron Rogniat's handsome villa in
East Los Angeles was destroyed by fire
last evening. The family, consisting o.
the baron and baroness, and the servants
were all at home. and no fire had been
used in the house during the afternoon.
How the fire originated is a mystery
but it is supposed to have been the re-
suit of crack in an earthen chimney in
the kitchen. 1t is thought that sparks
might have dropped through this crack
and fallen between the timbers OF par
tition, where they might lie shoulder
ing for hours, or even days, before finally
bursting forth in fame. It was shortly
after O'Clock last evening that the first
walls of the kitchen near the floor. An
alarm was given, and the fire depart
ment was soon on hand.
Engine No. was first at the scene, but
had to wait till the Park hose arrived
before water could be put on the build
ing.
The fire was soon subdued, but owing
to the great pressure necessary to force
water up to the height of the villa, as it
stood on the hill, the hose burst, several
firemen being drenched and thrown vio-
lently from the roof of the building.
This stopped operations for time, and
before engine No. arrived and work
could be renewed, the fire was again
under headway, and but small portion
of the building could be saved. Most
of the furniture was taken out, only
that in the upper floor remaining.
The large collection OF books in the
library was saved almost entire, as
were the piano, mirrors and
siIverware. A magnificent Dresden
china chandelier with sixty branches,
which hung in the main parlor, was de-
stroyed in the flames. The cost of this
one piece of furniture was $4,000, and
many other smaller articles of beauty
and value were neglected or forgotten
in the hurry of getting carpets and other
things out of the house.
The villa itself is said by Baron Rog
Mat to have cost $4,000, and the in
surance is but nominal, perhaps 5000
all told.
Despite the great loss, which is prob
ably all of $25 900, the baron last night
stated to a HERALD reporter that he
should at once rebuild the house, this
time of ''brick that will not burn"
One bit of damage that will be hard to
repair is the trampling and roofing up
of much of the beautiful shrubbery and
rare plants on the lawn.

A FRIGHTFUL ORDEAL.

How Ammonium Cannibals Qualify for
Marriage.
On the lower Amazon dwell the can
nibal Butocudos, who tlistort their
features with the biggest ornaments of
certain kind known. In babyhood
both men and women have their lower
lips and the lobcs of their ears pierced
with holes, in which are thrust pieces
of wood. AS they grow older, says the
Philadelphia Press, these wooden adorn-
ments arc made bigger and bigger until
an adult ordinarily has car lobcs that
hang down to the shoulders and lip
that projects six inches or more beyond
the nose. One must suffer to be beau
tiful, rs the French say, and such is the
inexorablc fashion among those an
thropophagi In that country young
man who desires to take n wife must
first submit to frightful ordeal. He
draws over each arm up to the shoulder
loose armlet woven of palm leaves.
Then, under supervision of his elders,
he plunges both arms as far as he can
into n nest of fierce, dcvouring ants.
The insects at once attack the intruder,
of course, and according to the terms
OF the trial he must stand without NOV
ing for an hour, submitting with nbso-
lutte stoicism to the bites of the cnraged
creatures. If he cndurcs the test he is
entitled to the bride, otherwise he must
wait for year and then undergo It
again. There are still tribes descended
from the ancient Incas which bandage
the heads of their children so that they
assume conical form. Funnily enough
the brain does not seem to suffer any
injury from this treatment.

A VERlTABLE DRAGON.

Description of n Monster Found in South
America.
In "Stedman's Expedition to Surf
nam" is found the following wonderful
account of the aboma or dragon: "This
remarkable creature is called aboma in
the colony of Surinam. It's length,
when full grown, is often more than
forty feet, its body being four feet and
over in circumference Its color is
grcenish black on the back, n fine yell
low op the sides, and dirty white on
the belly, the back and sides being
spotted with irregular black rings, with
pure white spot in the center of each.
Its head is broad and fiat, small in pro-
portion to its body, with large mouth
and teeth set in double rows 1t has
two bright prominent eyes, is covered
all over with scales about the size of d
shilling, and has two sharp claws I'M
der the belly near the tail which it uses
in scizing it's prey. 1t is IN amphibious
animal, that is, it delights in low,
marshy places, where it lies concealed
under the fallen timber, ready to seize
its prey, which, from its immense bulk,
it is not active enough to pursue. When
hungry it will devour any animal that
comes within its reach, and is indiffcr-
cnt if it be sloth, wild boar, n stag
or tiger. After twisting itself about
the body of n buffalo, stag or q tiger,
by help of its claws, it breaks every
bone in the poor victims body. y
| have been told of negroes being de-
vourcd by this snake and am not dis
posed to discrcdit the story. He bites
from no other impulse but that of hun
ger and is not venomous"

a DUEL WITH cLAYMoREs.
Tho Famous Rob Roy Challenged to a
Trial of Skill.

Trial OF Skill.
The far-famcd Rob Roy MacGregor
was confessedly the best swordsman of
his day, says the Scottish American.
Ills celebrity for welding the clay
moro excited MacNcil of Barra to visit
INN for the express purpose of trying
his prowess. Barra was gentleman
possessing tho qualities that endear u
chief to his clan, with the accomplish
mcntS which confer acceptability in pol
lshed circles. On arriving Mt Bob Roy's
house the MacNeil chicftain found he
was ut buchanan attending market,
and thither he repaired. lie met sever
al gentlemen on horseback on their
way home, and, accosting tho nearest,
begged to know if Rob Roy was still at
the fair.
"Who inquiries for Rob Roy?" inquired
voice more remote.
"MacNeil of Barra," said the chief
Rob Roy approached, announcing
himself, and, after exchanging salutcs,
Barrn said:
II have heard Rob Rob cxtollcd as
the best swordsrnan of our times, and
have come long journey to prove
whether he or deserve that commend
ation.''
"Chieftain of Barra," said Rob Roy,
II never sought n quarrel with any
man; and if it pleases you to think
yourself the better swordsman l have
no objection to your opinion"
This is the language of fear" said
Barra.
"Who dares to speak of fear to Rob
Roy MacGrcgor?" said MacGregor.
"Dismount, sir, and sec if I'm afraid"
The chivalrous encounter immediately
commenced, and Rob Roy found Barra
nearly his match, but after much dcx-
FERROUS play he wounded the chieftain
in the sword arm, SO that he was sew
