New York, Sept. 14.-In box which
arrived recently on French steamer,
the customs officials have found a
magnificent trousseau estimated to be
worth $4,000. The box was seized,
but there has been no claimant, and
considerable mystery surrounds the af,

box was taken to the seizure room and
upon being examined later, a wealth of

complete wedding outfit of the most
elaborate description, but nothing to
show the owners identity.
Suspicion was aroused by the find,
