H., June M P Chapman
d;sor,na, i last night an hour or two be-
fore he rs to have been married. Inc
entire ,fce force of the city searched
fo-. bi,Without success. To-day he re-
yune@ home and said he had been
;.ru~d and robbed of S141. 900 in GER
,;ricothecks which he had on his person.
X Chapman is rich, and lives at Al
'aIBuren Street. He was to have been
fried last night to Mrs. Mary Bur
TT, and left home during he day to
Jaw $4,000 from the bank. Mrs. Bur
yctt notified the police after the wedding
guests had assembled that her tlancee
hyas missing, and that as he had worn
$141 900 in checks and securities seWed
into his hat she feared he had been
robbed and murdered Chapman. who IS
% years old, was sandbagged and robbed
several years ago, and as a result he
became deaf The STAT 900 was MI.
Chapman's own money. lie was a we'll
known local Spectator, and originally
came from Oswego, Ill. His eccentrici-
ties have often caused comment.
Last night wedding guests stood around
in an embarrassed way waiting for the
groom. The bride, doing her best to con-
ceal her agitation apologiZed for slight
delay. The time dragged heavily; no
Chapman appeared. An inviting spread
stood in a room near by, and maids with
white caps on wondered when the guests
were coming out to supper. At last, when
concealment was no longer possible, the
company was dismissed the clergyman
vainly trying to comfort the distracted
woman who was to have been Mrs. Chap
man.
While the police were scare hing every
thieves nest in the city and the lake front
missing man, Chapman walked into his
home. His story is that he was drugged,
robbed and left on the bank of the
Desplaines River near Lyons, twelve
miles from Chicago. He says he was met
by three men while on his way down
town, WAS overDOwered and drugged, and
when he recovered consciousness twelve
hours later he found that his $4,000 in
certified checks with a considerable sum
in cash had been taken. DaZed and weak,
he wandered about in the darkness until
he found himself in Lyons and later made
his way to his apartments.
Mr.. Chapman is Il wealthy man, al
though one would not suspect it from his
home surroundings. He is a Spectator
mining stock. The certificates Of de-
post he carried sewed into the lining of
his hat yesterday represent the proceeds
of one Of his deals in a gold mine. He
was a heavy stakeholder III the Fox River
Railroad Company which has sold its line
to the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy
Company. Notwithstanding all his
wealth Chapman lived and appeared like
a comparatively poor man. The home on
Van Buren, Street is on the second floor
and the rooms are neither large nor elab-
orltely furnished.

Vancouver, g. c., May 31.-The Frazer

astrous than the great food of 1882. The
river has already risen within eight inches
of the high water mark of that great in
undation Though the whole valley is I'M
der water, the Frazer having spread out
into Il vast lake, the tide is crawling up
at the rate of an inch every three hours.
At Westminster the river wharveS are
submerged. Many cabins along the water
front have foated on the tide. and many
poor families have lost all their belong
ings Points farther up the river report
increasing danger. At Nicomen Island
forty-four fine farms are entirely under
water. Though much live stock has per-
ished. but eight human lives are known
to have been lost. No further fatalities
were reported yesterday. Anaccis Island
two miles above New Westminster. is
totally submerged. Many fine farms fer
merly dotted the island. The ranchers
were rescued by steamboats,, but all their
stock has gone down the river. All the
river steamers have been commissioned by
the government to service in rescuing the
imperiled persons The marks Of the
great food of 1882 have already been
passed
