agent at Wilkes Barre.
Mrs. Ratzburg is a stylish young woman
about 30 years old, blessed with good looks
and graceful form. About two weeks ago
she left her home in Wilkes Barre, saying
she wished to visit her parents in this town
for a week. On September 2nd Ratzburg
received letter from his wife in which she
wrote. Tomorrow I'll leave for Wilkes.
Barre Since that time nothing has been
heard of the wife.
Since the disappearance of the wife has
been made public it has been learned
that Harry seery dashing young photogra-
pher who was boarder in the Ratzburg
household, has also disappeared. His famili-
arity with Mrs. Ratzburg had been noticeable
and during her supposed visit to Shenandoah
he packed his trunk and left the house with
out notifying Mr. Ratzburg.
Seery is supposed to have been employed
in the Dornbach photograph gallery in this
town some years ago.
In speaking of the matter to a reporter
Ratzburg said: "Yes, it is so; my wife has
left me without cause or warning and fled to
parts unknown. For fifteen years we have
lived happily together, enjoying all the
luxuries and pleasures of home, and l can
not believe that she has eloped until proper
investigation has convinced me-"

strong home ruler. Yet Mr.. Bowel, the
acting premier, by moving a resolution
condemning Irish home rule and direct
ing that money be forwarded to the
Ulster Orangemen, placed the whole
Canadian government squarely in an
tagonism to the policy of the present
government of Great Britain and seri-
ously compromised his party.
The Irish Catholics, who form con
siderable part Of the Thompson govern
ment's following, condemn Bowell's con-
duct severely, and the Catholic mem
bers Of the ministry dare not attempt to
uphold Mr.. Bowels course, SO unless
the cabinet is reconstructed before next
winter there is likely to be a lively dis
cussion and possibly a crisis in parlia-
ment over the matter.
Mr.. Bowel is an ex-grand master of
the Orange order and was for many
years looked on as it's leader. AS MEM
Der of Sir John MacDonald's cabinet,
however, he twice supported resolutions
in favor Of home rule, and this caused
him to be regarded as s'unsound" by his
fellow Orangemen. The introduction Of
the recent resolutions seems to have
been an effort to rehabilitate himself.
He has been a member Of parliament
since 1857 and was first called to the
cabinet in 1878, since when he has been
almost continuously a member of the
government.

BOSTON & MAINE.
phiIadelphians Think Mcleod Will Be Re-
elected President.

This is what Philadelphians are gossip
ing about just now, according to report
from Philadelphia: 1t is reported on
fairly good authority that President Nc
Leod of the New York and New England
is to be reelected president of the Boston
& Maine railroad at the annual meeting,
which takes place in Boston on the
second Wednesday in December. The
necessary stock to control the election,
it is said, has already been secured and
it now only remains for Mr.. Mcleod to
signify his Willingness to accept. The
news of the movement, which has been
kept exceedingly quiet, came to Phlla-
delphia in an indirect way, and leaked
out through the fact that well known
banker of this city has been asked to
serve as member of the new board OF
directors. In this connection the names
of three Philadelphians have been mem
toned. These are Joseph p. Sinnot,
Spencer Erwin and George 81. Earle, Jr.,
If one of these were to be selected, it
would probably be Mr.. Erwin. The other
two are warm personal friends of Mr.. Nc
Leod, and if they go into the.board, it
would be more to accommodate Mr.. Nc
Leod than from any desire on their own
part

General Ezeta Coming From Salvador to
Wed Ida Dent Wright
That wealthy foreigner Of distinction
should wed dowerless American girl is
a reversal of the usual rule in interna-
tional marriages, but that is what Cen
eral Antonio Ezeta, atpresent vice presl-
dent. and soon to be president, of the
little republic of Salvador, is going to do.
The maiden of his choice is Ida Dent
Wright, a native of Georgia, the daughter
of Mrs. Marie Robinson Wright, a writer
for the New York press. The wedding
is to be in st. Patrick's cathedral, New
York, and Cardinal Gibbons will per-
form the ceremony.
Miss Wright is fair and tall and has
blue eyes and golden hair. She was
educated in France and has Travelled ex-
tensively in Europe. She first met Gen
eral Ezeta at ball in San Salvador
while on tour Of Mexico and Central
America with her mother. She talks
German, French and Spanish fuently, q
very fortunate circumstance, for Cen
eral Ezeta speaks no English.
The wedding will be brilliant affair.
General Ezeta will be accompanied by a
military suite Of 25 Salvadorian officers,
and the minister and members of the
Salvadorian legation at Washington and
other prominent Central American rep

The Case of the Policemen Who Loafed.

The Case of the Policemen Who Loafed.
The Argus yesterday accused Deputy
Marshal Hartnett of prosecuting PATROL
men Foss and Nice ormick because they
were Democrats. These are the two
officers referred to in the PRESS yester-
day as reprimanded by the police COM
mittee. They have been neglecting their
duty flagrantly, and have been frequent
" seen loafng on their beats in the east
ern portion of the city One of their
ways of passing their time has been to
sit together on the piazza of a certain
house in their portion of the city, and
they pass pleasantly the hours of night
when they should be pacing their BEATS
The citizens in that portion of the city
have made frequent complaints; and
Deputy Marshal Hartnett was acting
solely for the good of the service in
bringing the matter to the attention Of
the police committee Moreover, that
committee consists of Mayor Baxter and
Aldermen Guptill and Tolman and thus
its majority is Democratic. Yet the com
mittee were unanimous in reprimanding
the two officers This does not look like
persecution for political reasons, unless
the Argus wishes to set up the claim
that loafng is one of the inalienable
rights of every Democrat. In that case
Aldermen Tolmsn and Guptill will have
to be read out of the party.
