their voices to honor the memory OF
Columbus, and to acknowledge the
brilliant and effective works performed
by general Wilson in bringing TO con-
clusion this remarkable and useful en-
terprise.
"Fhe mind hesitates and feels bewil.
dered considering the possibilities that
might have arisen in the com mmunities
of Europe struggling with the unknown
and uncomfortable problems of labor,
capital, over-population and over.pro
duction, had not this vast continent
been thrown open to the partisans of
free thought, free work and free govern
ment. Let this well-deserved statue
remind every man, however exalted his
position may be, that he must contribute
his share of labor and worry for the
public welfare"
Mr Chauncey NJ. Depew, the last
speaker, WAS then introduced, and de-
livered the following oration:
"New York can add nothing to the
glory of Columbus, but she may
enforce the lesson OF his life and
discovery. The FIRE kindled by
him on the western hemisphere,
amid the darkness of the fifteenth
century, has become the flame which
illuminstes the nineteenth with light
and liberty. The Colum bian idea of
discovery was to find land whose gold
could be mined from exhsustless stores
land flowing with rivers of diamonds
and precious stones. Limitless wealth,
easily acquired, was to enrich beyond
the dreams oil avarice, the sovereign OF
Spain. He had no conception Of
the adventurous pioneer and thrift
ty emigrant. The Imagination cannot
picture his smazement could he have
foreseen the marvellous results OF the
May flowers voyage. the wealth poured
in such abundance from the mines of the
new world into the treasury OF Spain
WAS potent factor in the fall Of her
power and prestige in Europe. The
founders Of our republic welcomed with
cordial hospitality all who came to ss-
cape oppression or better thsir condi-
ton. The emigrsnts who accepted the
invitation and landed by millions on our
shores, brought the qualities and pur-
poses which have added intellectually to
the wealth of our country.
-Four centuries separate as from
Columbus. Within this period more
has been accomplished for humanity
than in the 5000 years which preceded
him. We are here to dedicate this
statue to his memory because of the un-
numbered blessings to America and to
the people OF every race and cline
which have followed his discovery. His
genius and faith gave to succeeding
generations the opportunity for life and
liberty. We, the heirs of all the ages
in the plenitude of our enjoyments and
the prodigality OF fsvors showered upon
US, hail Columbus, the heroic bsne-
factor"
Mr.. Depew was heartily applauded.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 1.-THE charges of
fraudulent practices brought against the
American trotting horse owner, Robert
+. Kneebes, has been the sensation of
the sporting world during the past week
and they have naturally aroused great
interest among the members of the
American colony in this city. The chief
witness against Mr.. Kneebes, who Is
one of the best known trotting men in
the western portion of the United
States, was, strange to say, an
American named Henfner, who accom-
panied him here as partner in the
trotting business. Kneebes and Heff-
ner ran the mare Nellie Kneebes jointly
in England up to March 22d, when they
separated in Berlin. In this city the
two hersemen had a dispute about
money matters which eventually re-
suited in the explosion which caused the
charges OF fraud against Kneebes.
Heffnsr was not the only person
with whom Kneebes quarrelled in Ber-
lin. On the day following the termi-
nation OF his amicable relations with
Heffnsr. Kneebs, while drinking at
the American bar, this city, qusrrslled
with Mr.. Prince Smith, q well-known
owner of trotting horses. This dispute
nearly ended in personal encounter
between the two horsemen, bat they
were separated by mutual friends. Smith
was evidently very much angered at
certain remarks made to him by
Kpeebes, and it seems Smith was sus-
picious of the methods of Kneebes in
trotting his horses, for shortly sfterwsrd
he commenced an inquiry into the re-
cent career of Kneebes upon the turf,
and readily obtained from Heffner. who
was also very much against KneebeH,
Information in regard to the mare
Bethel, which eventually led to the pro-
scription Of the latter.
DIR. Schneider, who ia acting as coun-
6 zee on onsst M 81 shs act tnsshn1 sha IKE sh
witness against his client was formerly
the latter's partner and that they were
good friends until they had dispute in
regard to money matters. Counsel for
the accused turfman also lays stress
upon Hefner'e alleged unreliability,
arguing that Kneebes is the victim of
revenge upon the part of his personal
enemies.
During Kneebes' imprisonment he
has csbled to q certain DR.. Hall at
Wakefield. who replied that Bethel was
now ON a farm in Minnesota. The
court, however, wants better proof
than this of the whereabouts of the
mare. The amount of money which Mr..
Kneebes 10 alleged to have obtained by
fraud, so far az the charges actually be-
fore the court are concerned, does not
exceed 5000 marks. OF this amount
2500 marks was paper money
given by the Berlin Tretting club and
$500 marks given by the Hamburg Trot-
ting club as prizes. 1t is added, how
ever, that there are q number Of other
alleged victims who claim to have been
defrauded out of money in various bet
ting transactions, but az the amounts
are small it is not thought likely they
will take etepg to prosecute Mr. Kneebes.

A MATRIMONIAL swINDLER


News received here from Dresden
shows that the man giving the name of
Richard Dorling, who was arrested
there, az csbled May 9th. charged with
fraudulent practices. devoted himself
chiefly to fleeing parties he mat at
hotels cut of email sums of money.
Dorling, who has travelled under various
aliases, dressed well and in the latest
style, pretending in some places to be
the husband OF the daughter of one Of
the Vanderbilts. At other places Dor
ling claimed to be the son-in-law of Mr..
William q. Whitney. The prisoner ia
described as being good linguiet and of
polite address. He moved in the best
society, intimating that he WAS author
lied to find titled husbands for Ameri.
can ladies OF good families. 1t was the
custom of Dorling to contide this news
to his prospective victims, in the
most delicate and secret man
ner, saying he had come es-
pecially from America with the COM
mission to find marriageable men,
princes or counts, who would be willing
to marry rich American ladies who were
desirous OF marrying q title. Dorling
then intimated that he would receive
considerable sums in commissions as
recompense for finding these titled hus-
bands for the ladies, and made it point
to promise substantial recompsnse to
those who would help him in his search.
After few days of talk, Dorling would
proceed to obtain loans from gullible
bergers, representing to them that he
was in temporary need of money, as GER
tain funds which were en- route fro m
America had been delay ed in transit So
soon as these loans were obtained Dor
ling would vanish, but only to reappear
and recommence the same tactics in an
other city. Dorling appears to
have opersred very successfully at
Leipzig, Munich and Coburg. He
was caught in Dresden. The arrest OF
Dorling explains the fact that notices
have frequently appeared in the Ger
man papers recently setting forth that
one of the daughters OF the Vanderbilt
family, or else the daughter OF some
other we'll known and very wealthy
American family, was about to marry
q member of some aristocratic German
family.
