HIS CAREER AT CHICAGO,
Brief Sketch of 1t by One of Those who
Knew Him


CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The financial career
of Rufus Hatch in Chicago is well remem.
bered by many of the old Spectators on
the board OF trade. His operations in this
city covered a period of more than ten
years, commencing in the early sos and
extending toward the close of the
war, when he transferred his operations to
New York under the advice of MANY
friends, who felt that in Wall street he
would find field peculiarly adapted for
the exercise of talents for which he was
pre-emiDently distinguished His sue
cesses in the east and the report from time
to time OF his astuteness in commercial
matters was highly gratifying to his Chi
cago friends, Of whom he had host.
Was Sagacious in Business.
In 1854 Mr.. Hatch was associated in the
commission business with George B. Arm
strong under the firm name of George Il.
Armstrong & Co. He was known in the
early days as smart, active dealer on the
board of trade, bold and vigorous in specua-
ton. He displayed great sagacity in his
dealings, and while reputed to be a daring
operator, he was not considered reckless,
He was well liked and very popular and
had the respect of such contemporaries as
n. K. Fairbank. c. T. Wheeler. Julian and
George Ramsey and Sturgis' Sons. the
bankers. with whom he was connected as
financial broker about 1860.
Known as a Jolly Good Fellow.
"hufus Hatch was man with enlarged
nnanclal schemes, and radical in his
views. AT times some of his operations
were dazzling" said John r. Benslev ~
was connected with him in a few ventures
and he was man / entertained the nro-
foundest respect for. He was universaIlv
esteemed by all with whom he came in Co..
tact. He enjoyed a high Character for
business integrity, and real regret was faIt
when he went to New York. / cama bera
in 1857. Hatch was here and known as n
good, jovial fellow. with the reputation OF
an audacious operator. ! MAT
An Old Time Combination.
~He was then, think, associated with
Sturgis q buckingham, and afterward was
broker for Sturgis' Sons & Co.'s bank He
was not burdened with an abundance of
wealth in those DAYS. Many times since
have Rufus and enjoyed a good laugh at
venture in wheat WE took in the early
days with direful results. Mr. Hatch. G
Il. Wheeler and myself formed a combina.
tion TO ship cargo of wheat to New Yor;
hoping TO realize a respectable profit. Ru-
fus-he was not then known as Uncle Ru-
fus'-put in $500 which was to take care of
!-,O0O bushels. put in 81 900, which would
control 10000 bushels. and Wheeler invest
ed 500 to take care of :, OO0 bushels
Had His Whole Fortune involved
@All the money Hatch had was mis- in
vestment; was but little better off, while
Wheeler was considered a wealthy man.
We shipped the wheat on the schooner San
Jacinto, and in due time it was placed for
sale ON the eastern market We lost every

Going to Investigate the Whisky Trust
Letter from Moloney.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 24-The senate yes
terday recommitted the bill appropri-
ating $4,000 to the state Horticultural,
Beekeepers' and Dairymen's associations
for Worlds fair exhibit The committee
had reported adversely. The bill for cou-
pons to Australian ballots was sent to
third reading, as was the bill providing
that juries to inquire into the cases of idi-
OTIS and spendthrifts be composed of six in
stead of twelve persons. \ joint resolu-
ton for an investigation of the whisky
trust was adopted-S9 TO wall being the
single negative.
Nohe's Bill Not in Favor.
In the house Nohe tried to get I'D his
5000 limit bill under suspension of the
rules, but it was ru ed out of order. He
tried 1t again when he was in order, but
the house refused-67 to 54-to suspend the
rules. The calendar was cleared of senate
bills on first reading, and then a communi-
cation was received from the attorney gen.
eral stating that he can find none of the
books, papers or vouchers of the auditors
and treasures's offices which would show
how much money Lad been received by
those officials which is now claimed they
were not entitled to. These missing books
run back for twenty years, and without
them the attorney general can not know
how much money TO sue the ex-auditors
and eX-treasurers for
Got Something Against Wilson.
These missing books are those which
Pavey declares to be the private property
OF the officials. The attorney general, how
ever, says he has some evidence against
the late treasurer, Wilson, the nature of
which he will not communicate as it would
not be discreet, and he suggests to the leg
islature that it can order an investigation
that will bring out al the facts needed in
all the cases. The matter was laid over
Tor two weeks. A series of questions was
adopted to be asked the attorney general
The pith of them is included in the queries:
Have not the auditors of state been taking
more than their allowance! and what leg
islatlon is needed to stop it? The joint
resolution for an inquisition into the
