fine personal appearance, and occupied
one of the swellest appointments in the
Empire. Before his disappearance ne
entertained his ecquaintances. many OF
whom afterwards turned up as creditors
with most sumptuous banquet at the
Emire. and some time later, when cred
itors began to be clamorous, he order
I'd his coachman and footman, and with
his family carrying huge lunches OF
flowers he was driven in style to the
Boston Il Albany to make, as it was
| understood, temporary visit to his gold
mine in tho West. He has not been heard
from since. At a meeting OF 100 or
more OF his creditors short time after
wards, it was decided that it was not
worth while to put him into bankruptcy

tect, but his principle structure was one

to be the architect OF his own fortune,
for outside of these two hotels and his
yold mine in the West nothing is known
of him. There is believed to be COM
pr,ence in the name of his wife.

that he raised upon his mortgages was

in some respects the construction OF the
buildings. - Boston News Bureau
