Daily New York Letter

and Edward F. Cragin as the leading men
Of the enterprise
. Mr.. Cragin verified the reports this eve
ming. He said that the International Bank
ing corporation, operating under a special
charter of the state of Connecticut, giving it
powers to carry on it's business in all parts
OF the world, is at present the only Aneri-
can banking corporation that can do business
outside the United States This branch OF
foreign business, he said, is at present done
by the English; German, French and Span
ish, with some other foreign corporations.
For the present, Mr.. Cragin said, it was ex
pected that the business would be confined
to the orient and to Central and South
America.
I'VE have already established branch in
Shanghai" he said. u. S. Fearon is the
representative Of the corporation there He
accepted the post by cable. He is a promi
nent merchant and banker there and is well
known in the orient. We are doing business
both in Shanghai and in New York now
The principal competitor of the Interna-
tional Banking corporation for the agency Of
this government in China in the matter Of
the collection Of the enormous indemnity that
is to be paid by the celestials was the Guar
anty Trust company of this city, and pre-
vious dispatches from Washington had said
that that company was to be designated. Il
is said here that the reason that the Inter
national corporation got ahead was its readi-
ness to do business, whereas the Guaranty
company asked for time in which to get its
charter amended. The company got its very
+. elastic charter last summer, but it was On
Monday of this week that executive officers
were first elected under the charter.

Common Law Marriages Go Out.

With the old year common law marriages
in this state go out, and beginning to-day
new law recognizing marriage by civil con-
tract takes effect: BY the signing OF a written
agreement in the presence of two witnesses
acknowledging it before notary and filing
the papers with the county clerk, man and
woman may legally wed in New York state.
In abolishng the old law, its abuse by de-
signing persons has been done away with,
and the services Of clergymen, justices of the
peace and aldermen are made no longer nee
essary to tie the marriage knot. Lawyers
who have given the new law attention say
that il will require further amendment to
prevent it's being used to the injury of one
or the other OF the contracting parties by a
failure to make it a matter of record.

The Thebaud Jewel Robbery.


The woman arrested late Monday night by
Detectives Carey and Flay in the The5aud
jewel robbery, was Mrs. Marie Polllon, with
whom Edward Kern, Mr.. Thebaud's valet,
fed after robbing his employer Of jewelry
worth $4,000. The woman was caught vas
she was leaving the house Of a friend with
her own and her lovers wearing apparel
She was going to Philadelphia to join Kern
at the Hotel Walton, where they had agreed
to Meet.
If the woman had been allowed to go, Kern
might now be in custody. But the two de-
tectives who had been looking for her had to
act quickly, and they decided to take tho
woman while they had the chance. The re-
suit of the arrest was a disclosure of the
whereabouts of the greater part OF the jew
elry stolen from the Thebaud town mouse
and from the Gedney manor farm at White
Plains where the Thebauds were visiting on
Sunday. But Kern was not caught
Mr. Thebaud was a happy man To-day
when Captain Titus handed him $4,000 worth
of diamonds which his valet had stolen from
him and later in the day he was made nap
pier still by the news that more, to the value
of So 900, had been found in a pawnshop in
this city and would be placed In his hands
Tomorrow The articles recovered include
the large pear-shaped diamond pendant OF
eleven carats, valued at $4,000, three-carat
diamond pear, surrounded by small diamonds;
two white pearls, with platinum loops, weigh
ing forty four grains; small diamond chain.
a diamond butterfly, a diamond swallow
brooch, two marquise rings, three black pearl
studs and miscellaneous lot Of studs. cuff
buttons, rings and scarf pins. The $1,000
gray pearl pendant, Weighing forty grains,
was not recovered. Absolutely no trace OF
ehis piece Of jewelry has been discovered, and
it is believed that Kern still has it with him
and will try to get rid of it III some other
country If he succeeds in getting out OF this.
It was Mrs. Poillon who gave the informa-
ton which led to the recovery OF these jew
els, and it was She too, who, late. yester-
! day, told Captain Titus where more OF them
could be found.
Last Friday the woman left her husband
and met Kern at the Sycamore hotel at
Eighth street and Third avenue. He stayed at
the hotel with her until about IL o'clock and
then went back to the Thebaud town house
on Madison avenue. He met her again there
on Saturday afternoon and was with her until
Saturday evening, when he went back to
White Plains. In the meantime he had robbed
the Thebaud town house OF all the jewelry
he could find there and had also taken Mr.
Thebauds 500 sealskin oyercoat. He had
pawned all OF this stuff, Save few Of the
scarf pins. which he put in his valisa

Though copious rains fell here on
the 4th and the 9th inst, our crops,
especially meadows, suffered from a
dearth OF moisture before we were
blessed by more rain, and we feared a
repetition OF last YEARS. drouth. Not
until the Path inst. did more rain fall
here. During the afternoon of that
day and during the following night
and day plenteous rains fell through
out this section, and greatly refreshed
vegetation Of all kinds, and now pros
poets for good crops are t1attering,
meadows excepted. Wheat has i'm
proved to an unexpected extent, and
corn crops we're perhaps never in
better condition than they now are.
Most meadows were so severely in
iured by last years drouth and the
severe freezes during the winter
when the ground was bare-that less
than one-half a good crop of hay will
be harvested this year; consequently
farmers will be compelled to rely on
c%orn-fodder and millet for trough
ness" during next winter; in fact there
will necessarily be a shortage OF hay
in this locality until meadows a be
re-seeded or lei meadows are grown.
