gram received here this afternoon from
New York announced the fact that
PayIor, the fugitive city treasurer, and
Wilson failed TO arrive in that city on
board the steamship Noltairc, which
reached port yesterday evening.
Two first-class passengers wore
booked, but at the hour OF sailing
neither of the men appeared. and the
captain Was forced to start his voyage
without them. No reason WAS given
for their nonappcarance. and the only
plausible explanation is that at the
eleventh hour some difficulty with tho
rcquisition papers held them IN tenn

thcm to catch the steamship. 1t is
probable that Wilson will bring Pay
Tor back to this country now via Flu

ever, Wilson prefers to bring Paylor
