LOVE FOUND A WAY.
How and why Miss Louisa King Ran
OF for Home to Be Married.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Mrs. S. Lloyd
Chamberlain, formerly Miss Louise King,
mystifier of the police and lover of the UNI
usual says the reason she tried to convey
the impression that Coney island waves had
swallowed her was because her wealthy
father very strict with her and sought
to force her to wed man she did not love.
So she resorted to deception. On the day
she went to Coney island and planned her
disappearance che had figured out in adj
vance just what theories would be advanced
by the police, and prepared herself for them.
She had planned her flight for months, and
the opportunity had come. When she left
her fathers house two weeks ago yester-
day she wore two skirts. Under the inner
one she had pinned a shirt waist, collar
and necktie, a pair of light, low Shoes a
small sailor hat. and she wore two pairs OF
stockings. Thus equipped she journeyed to
Coney island.
After she had donned her bathing suit she
tucked the smaller articles in the loose
stockings and the light shoes. She emerged
from the bathhouse with the extra blouse
of her suit and had the extra skirt over
her arm, hut before she sought her maid
she deftIy threw the skirt over a chair on
the beach where she could get 1t again. She
sent the maid to disrobe and then, hastily
for the third pavilion above the one she had
occupied Then she entered the women's
dressing room and donned the skirt, shirt
waist and other apparel, wearing her bath
ing suit as underwear She left the pavilion
by the rear and took train at once for
BROOKLYN. At o'clock she took the annex
boat of the Pennsylvania road and in Jersey
CITY took a train for Philadelphia.
Arriving at Philadelphia, she went at once
to the Hotel Bellevue, one of the most ex-
elusive hotels in that city, whittier two
trunks packed with fine apparel had pre-
owens, of New York. and at the time the
story of her disappearance and probable
drowning was being told to the Coney island
police she was calmly waiting ninety miles
away for the denOuement of her romantic
plot. 1t appears that Miss King had pri-
the day of her disappearance from Coney
island she had $50 tucked away in her
blouse and wore a great amount OF expen-
sive jewelry.
Notwithstanding his belief III his sisters
death, James King continued to have every
that his sister had had several extra trunks
shipped from GlenS Falls He followed these
TO his fathers house, where he learned they
had been sent to the Hotel Bellevue in
philadelphia. Then began regular pllgrlm-
ages to the Quaker City and the final dis
covery of the girls plot, with her marriage
here as the sequel.
Her sweetheart, Mr.. Chamberlain, and her
brother arranged meeting with the girl.
Mr. Chamberlain was asked point Diank
whether he desired to marry ner. his an
sWer was an enthusiastic Affirmative, ana
the tone of Miss Kings letter .eIt no ooupt
as to her feelings on the subject. Then came
the trip to Philadelphia, the return 10 New
York and the romantic little wedding at the
Waldorf.

MAY REINFORCE DEWEY.
Cruiser Buffalo Ordered to Honolulu
-HarbOrs to BE Surveyed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.--The Navy De-
partment has decided to send the cruiser
Buffalo, now at New York, to the Pacific
station She will probably go to Honolulu,
and in the event that she is needed to rein
force Dewey's fleet she can receive orders
at that place by dispatch boat. The Buffalo
goes out unNer the command of Command
er Hemphill late of the Navigation Bureau,
who has devoted himself to the conversion
of the vessel, which was lately attached to
the Brazilian navy under the name of the
Nictheroy, into modern and effective cruis-
er. Mechanics are working overtime on the
Oregon and Iowa in order to fit them for
their cruise to the Pacific and it is hoped
that the vessels will be ready by the date
first selected by the Navigation Bureau for
beginning the voyage, namely, Oct l.
The Navy Department has decided to send
the big ocean-going tug Iroquois, now at
San Francisco, to Honolulu for the use of
the naval station to be established there
This vessel was purchased by the govern
ment during the war as an auxiliary naval
vessel, and it is said that in addition to rem
dering service as a harbor tug at Honolulu
she will be used as dispatch boat running
from Honolulu to San Francisco.
The department is considering the advisa-
bility of attaching the engineering repair
ship Vulcan, which did such excellent work
in Cuban waters, to the Asiatic squadron
Admiral Dewey is in need of such a ship
with the vulcan at Manila 1t Will be I'M
necessary to send the ships to Hong Kong
for repairs.
For the benefit of American commerce
steps are being taken by the Navy Depart
ment. in accordance with the recommended
ton of Commander r. B. Bradford, chief of
the Bureau of Equipment. to make a
thorough survey Of the more important har-
hors of Cuba ard Porto Rico. The yacht
Stranger, under command of Lieut.. G. L.
Dyer, is being fitted out at Norfolk with
surveying instruments and will proceed to
Guantanamo bay, where careful survey of
the harbor will be made. The bay is re-
garded excellent place of refuge by
naval officers and will probably be made
a ccaling station in case Cuba should pass
into the hands of the United States. From
Guantanamo the Stranger will proceed to
Guanica, Porto Rico, where survey of the
harbor will be made. The Stranger is also
under orders to examine Culebra island,
upon the advantages of which as site for
a coalirg station Capt. c. M. Chester recent
ly reported favorably. The authorities have
given up the idea of establishing coaling

Bondholders VIII Not Lose.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-President
Frank T. Nipple. of the Real-estate Trust
Company, of this city, when questioned re-
gardng the action of his company in OBJ
tanning the appointment of receiver for
the New England Company, explained that
it was merely a precautionary measure
taken to protect the holders of a million
dollars worth of the New England Com
pany's bonds, for which the local company
is the trustee There is no cause of any
sort, however," he continued, "for the hold
ers of the bonds to become alarmed. for
they are all protected by good securities.
Within the past few weeks we have had
experts go carefully over these securities
and they report that they represent enough
capital to more than pay the company S
outstanding bonds and the interest on them.
The New England Loan and Trust Com
pany was organized twenty-five years ago
and has a capital of $815000. In the past it
has paid off ten or fifteen millions worth
of bonds and has always been regarded as
a sound financial institution. 1t began the
issue of it's bonds now outstanding, which
amount to 5000, 900, about ten years ago.
The Farmers Loan and Trust Company and
the Atlantic Trust Company, both of Eew
York, are trustees for four million dollars
worth of the bonds and we hold the bal
ance"

BIG CONCERN IN TROUBLE
RECEIVER FOR THE NEW ENGLAND
LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY.
Large Amount of It's Money Said to Be
Invested in Improbable West
ern Real Estate.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Otto T. Barnard
of 50 Broad street, was to-day appointed re-
ceiver of the New England Loan and Trust
Company by Judge Shipman. of the United
States Circuit Court, on a suit brought by
the Real Estate Trust Company, of Phila-
delphia. and Sabllion s. Allen, of ST. AL
bans, VT. The company was a large lender
of money on Western mortgages. The re-
ceiver's bond is fixed at $4,000.
The complaint recites that the defendant
company was organized Sept. 81, 1882, under
the laws of the State of Iowa, with capt.
tai stock of $4,000. and that its principal
business was conducted in the State of New
York. 1t is further alleged that the BUSH
ness conducted by the company was that of
loaning money on farming property in
Western and Southern States. In Septem-
Der, 1885, it is stated. the defendant company
made the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany, of this city, trustee of securities owned
by the defendant company, as security for
debentures TO be issued by the defendant
company in series of 100000 The defendant
company, it is alleged, has issued and sold
debentures to the amount of 81, $4,000, which
are now unpaid. The Farmers Loan and
Trust Company holds as security for this
amount real estate mortgages amounting to
about $l9S5,O19. The complaint further
states that the defendant company under
an agreement with the real estate company
of Philadelphia in May, 1891, has issued and
sold debentures to the amount of 81, 76S, 200,
for which the Real Estate Trust Company
has securities amounting to $1,S75 $40.
1t is also stated in the complaint that the
defendant company has made smaller issues
of debentures, all of which have been sold
in Great Britain. 1t is further charged
that the defendant company has borrowed
from banks, depositing securities amounting
to about $167, 975 and that 1t has further in
debtedness amounting to over sos, 747 The
defendant company, it is stated is the owner
of real estate mortgages on farm lands and
other property of the value of S0l6,4Sl. The
complaint further alleges that the defend
ant company will be required to pay on or
before January, 1899, the sum of about $780,
945, the amount of principal and interest on
debentures, that it was compelled to become
the owner of much Improbable real estate
because of it's inability to force the collec-
ton of loans and because of the depressed
financial conditions, and that 1t is unable
to realize sufficient sum to meet its obll-
cations The complaint in conclusion,
states that the defendant company is COM
pletely undermined, but that by judicious
management the property can be saved.
