Nicholas Grusenmeyer Mrourns the Loss of
n Valuable Firearn and Some Money.
About two weeks ago, while Nicholas
Grusenmeyer, who has farm on the

was approached by stranger, who said
his name was George A. Wilson, that
he was United States marine on d

would like to board in the country for
about three weeks He said his home
was near Seventh and Walnut streets,
this city. He created favorable i'm
preston and Mr.. Grusenmeyer said he
could accommodate him and took the
stranger home with him on that day.
The guest was provided with first
class accommodations at the house and
everything was done to make him COM
Portable. Everything went we'll until
last Saturday, when the boarder dis
appeared, and after he was gone Mr..
Grusenmeyer discovered that his gun
and some money were also missing. The
coincidence has impressed itself so
fcrcibly upon Mr.. Grusenneyer that he
has made several visits to Wilmington
with the hope of learning something
about his late guest or coming UP with
his gun. which he says, is very valu-
able TO him. lie does not care any
thing about the man or the money, pro-
vided he RECEIVERS his gun.

DREW FAMILY ALL RIGHT.

George Is. Davis Receives Word Of Their
Safe Arrival at Shanghai.
George b. Davis of No. 1106 Jefferson
street, has received a cablegram an
nouncine the safety Of his sister, Mrs.
Edward Bangs Drew and family, who
escaped from Tientsin and went to
Shanghai, China. He has also learned
that Mr.. Drew has ALEC reached Shang-
hal. Mr.. Drew Is known to some Will
ming tonians and is friend Of Gen.
James ii. Wilson.
Mr.. Drew is commissioner of Gus
toms Of the province of Tientsin. and
collects about $50, 000,0 in customs
on imports annually. He is the third
in rank Of foreigners holding positions
under the Chinese government He
has been In China about 35 years, and
ID viceruy Of the province Of Tientsin.
and mandarin entitled to wear the
blue button.
just now his position must be most
peculiar. Sir Robert Hart, TO whom
all custom receipts are payable, is
either dead In Pekin, or at least in
such position that Mr.. Drew cannot
forward his receipts to Sir Robert. As
result, Mr.. Drew must have several
million dollars in his possession or
custody, for which be personally Is ro-
sponsible. He Is Chinese official. and
1t is not wise for him to leave China.
just what he has done with the i'm
mense sum is conlectural.
1t had been the intention of Mr.. Drew
to retire from the Chinese service in
two years. but the present situation
may cause him to sever his official rela-
lions there much sooner and return
with his family to this country.
10 Mr.. Drew is due much of the
credit of the Chinese bonds being
iloated in foreign markest at the close
of the Franco Prussian war. The
foreign capitalists would not accept the
bonds unless they we're assured that
interest would DO paid and the bonds
redeemed, and as means OF guarantee
ing these payments they suggested that
foreigners be placed in charge of the
customs department to collect the Gus.
toms on imports. Mr.. Drew conducted
the negotiations that resulted in this
system being agreed 10 and the bonds
were sold to European capitalists.
In 1889 Mr.. Drew was made commits
siouer Of customs Of the province Of
Canton, serving in that capacity five
years. Then he returned 10 this ooun-
try for brief stay, returned to China,
and was appointed commissioner OF
customs for Tientsin, his present office.
Mr.. Drew il in great favor with Ii
Hung Chang. When Ii visited the
United States in 1896, MIR. Drew was
secretary of his embassy, accompanying
the party on the tour through this
country. Mr.. Drew spent day in Will
mington in 1886, and then rejoined the
imperial party, with whom he returned
to China
