lOok|MG FOR 4 LOST BARON.
Married an Alsatian Village Belle
and Fled to This Country.
Now Vast Fortune Awaits Him in
His Native Land.

Somewhere in this country an Aisatian
baron is living the life of an humble
citizen. while a great estate awaits him
In his native land.
In June. 1886. Baron Camille Stoechlin.
the son OF a wealthy and titled family
in the little town Of Genbiville, Alsace.
Germany, quarrelled with his parents.
They had arranged for his marriage
to one of his childhood's playmates, a
young lady OF his own station in life
and. according to his parents, the only
At life companion for him.
But the young baron held other views.
At that time he was twenty-six years
old. He was handsome and accom-
plished. having graduated with high
honors from the University.
During his student life he had becoms
enamored OF a pretty Alsatian maid,
and they had plighted their troth. His
parents were highly enraged when he
made known to them that he had ideas
Of his own in regard to the selection Of
wife. They stormed and entreated
and finally threatened to disinherit him
unless he conformed to their wishes.
The very next day the young baron
and the Alsatian village belle were mar
ried In the little 1Vy-coVereu cnurcn at
Genbiville, and that same evening they
started for this country.
After reaching the United States their
troubles begon. Neither Of them could
speak the English language. and they
were poorly equipped to earn a livelihood.
Their small store of money was soon ex-
hausted and they were confronted with
starvation.
Too proud to reveal their condition to
their klsatian friends. the Baron was at
last glad to accept a position in the New
York Hotel as dishwasher. former
| servant in the Stoechlin family who had
also emigrated met the Baron on Broad
way one day and wrote home the con-
dition of the young couple.
Shortly after this the Baron and his
pretty wife went to Cincinnati and all
| trace Of them has been lost.
| Recently this servant received letter
| from Anna Stoechlin. the Baron's only
! sister. to the effect that the parents are
dead and that a large bequest awaits the
absent son.
The servant has advertised for infor-
nation regarding him.

MlLITIAMEN NOT ANXIOUS.
No Orders Issued as Yet to Proceed

railroad strike extending to Buffalo. II

inquire into the truth OF her case. After
toiling up three flights of stairs, she

Chemblis, alias James Pallas, Of Ba-

Court this morning, charged with at
tempted assault last night on eight-year-
old Jennie Callahan. who lives in the

Neighbors have noticed recently that
large number of little girls were in the

MAILS MANY DAYS LATE.
Five Days Behind Time, and Much
Matter Accumulatinx.

The strike continues to seriously inter-
fere with prompt arrival of the mails
which get here after an uncertain fash
ion from an hour to four and five days
behind time. The local office experiences
the greatest difficulty in properly ham
ding the mail after It arrives. The ac-
emulation Of several days being dumped
into the Office within a few hours taxes
the resources Of the Department to their
utmost.
No mail has been received from Salt
Lake since June %. nor from San Fran
cisco since July l.
All OF the Chicago delayed mails arrived
last night, excepting such as was mailed
between 10 A. NJ. ana p. NJ. on July 3.
The Detroit malls are two days behind.
Memphis, Nashville. Milwaukee and
Omaha mails, due last night, have not
arrived.
The Missouri, Arkansas and South.
western mails are coming through all
