For Forty Years n Man Tracks the Muir

dercr of His Wife.
After patient, weary search extend
ing over the western continent, and
covering a period of nearly forty years,
Charles Hartley, of Oswego, NY, n
few days ago at this point ended Il
period in his eventful life by arresting
Allen Hartley, n cousin, charged with
the murder of his wife quite two score
years ago, says an Ellenwood (B. c. cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The man arrested is an old resident
of this city, having lived here nearly
twelve years He served two terms as
mayor and has been successful in the
accumulation of comfortable fortune
-Four years ago he married we'll known
lady of this place. Back of it is Il story
tlnged with romance and sullied by n
crime SO remarkable in it's details that
1t furnishes chapter in criminal his

Allen Hartley is now an old man of
nearly seventy. When his locks were
raven and his beard was young he mar
ried u charming young lady, the belle
of the small interior town in New York,
where both resided. Charles Hartley,
the cousin, who, after such lapse
len, was an unsuccessful suitor. Though
denied all hope by the marriage of his
cousin with the girl, he still loved, and
this far, kept burning through the
years, ca-lsed the tracking down and ar
rest of the wife murderer.
Thirty-ninc years ago next May Hart
ley bade his friends hasty farewell,
and at the same time Informed them
that, with his wife, he was going west
TO seek his fortune. No one saw the
couple leave the town. and finally muir
mfrs of something wrong increased to
open gossip. Charges of foul play were
freely made, but there We're none to
prove them, and at length they died
away. ...- .... .
When, later, the house in which the
Hartlcys had lived was being repaired
and there was found in a cemcntcd vault
beneath it the skeleton of Agnes Hart
ley, the town went mad. But the muir
dcrer was gone and there was no trace.
Charles Hartley swore to hunt him
down if it took 4 lifetime and his for
tune. 1t required forty years of one
and nearly as many thousand dollars of
the other, but success has at last re-
warded the long search.

pan which consists of a wire ncttir :
stretched horizontally on piles a few
inches below low-watCr mark On this,
a. a foundation, shells are thickly
st:ewn to serve as foundation for the
oyster. A few living oysters scattered
here and there over the bed will furnish
the young oysters, which, in q single

over the generation with which he came

shown by numerous anecdotes.
When Napoleon, at 26 years of age.
was appointed as commander in chief of
the army in Italy, Admiral Decres, who
had known him well in Paris, learned
that he was to pass through Toulon.
Decres wrote long afterward:

A few days later, at Albergo, certain

The United States holds in the Treas.

somewhere about $780, 900, 900 in gold and

The increasing wealth of the various
nations is somewhat remarkable. Dur.
ing the last 10 years the Bank of France

Bank of Germany in 1881 held about
$40, 000, 900, in 1889 it held $3.50, 600 coo.
In June, 1875, the amount of gold coin

has risen to $50, 000,0 900. In silver there
is still more remarkable increase.
1t will be observed that among the
above England stands the lowest on the
list. This can be accounted for in two
ways. There being no issue of notes I'M
der the value Of $25, it necessitates an
immense quantity of gold being kept in
circulation. Secondly, the commerce of
Great Britain with other countries being
SO enormous, and its lending powers 50

result. Russia, Italy, and Spain have
little or no financial influence. They are

nations. but lenders, never.

upon which the appeal springs grew out of
some transactions between English Bros,

About $3.50 p. NJ. yesterday a tall, slim
man came into the Receiving Hospital,
where he registered as James Smith, 9l7
Pacific street, and placed himself In charge
OF DR.. Somers. the physician in charge.
An examination showed that he was
suffering from a lacefaled wound in the
scalp.
After his wound was dressed he stated
that he had had an alteration at 16 Third
street with Phil Crimmins. who owed him a
large sum of money for services rendered.
He said further that he had called on
Crimmins for payment as per agreement,
and had been told by Phil that the firm had
been knocked out by the Non-Partisans
and he would have to take a big discount
with the rest.
Upon putting up a demurrer he said
CTimmins gave him 500 and told him he
would pay him the rest in the sweet by
and by.
After trying to enforce his demand for
the full amount due a row had ensued,
which finally had eliminated in blows, and
resulted in Crimmins striking him over the
head with a slungshot.
The dive was filled at the time with Kelly
and Crimmins heelers. and realizing that he
could not win fight under such circum-
stances, he started for the Receiving Hospj
tai to have his broken scalp dressed
Upon reaching the hospital he DISPLAYED
the $500, and sw0re vengeance against the
Thlrd-street gang, which he claimed had
robbed him.
After his wounds were dressed he started
