Pi nsisi in;, Pa., Aug. 21.-- Miss Cora Hamlin boarded at llu: house of Julia Chesswell in Wheeling. On last Taos-da-she suddenly disappeared, and shortly arter Miss Chesswell discovered that her diamonds had been stolon. Among the jewels was a necklace and pendant, valued at $1200, and several rings. The whole was worth over $201)0. The. Wheeling police were noti-fied, and after a search found that Cora Hamlin had left for Pittsburg. Inspector McAlces was notified aud he sent Detective Shore to the 15. & (). depot, whore Miss Hamliu was arrested as she stepped oil' the train, isho was taken to the cen-tral police station, where she denied all knowledge of the stolen jewels. She, was searched by the matron, but the jewels were, not concealed about her person nor in her small valise. After detaining her for a day she was sent back to Wheeling, where the police tried in vain to fasteu the theft on iitr. Nothing, however, could be proved. She was to be discharged yesterday, as she had eniploved an attorney to get out. a writ of habeas corpus. Yesterday Assistant Superintendent O'Mara was notilicd by the postolliee officials that there was a package in a lock box there addressed to Cora Ham-lin, llu went to the, postolliee and or-dered the package, to ho opened. In il were the missing jewels. It appears Cora had evidently carefully planned the robbery. She had come to Pittsburg one week ago and rented a lock box for a month, tin Tuesday, after stealing t ue diamonds, she, went to the Wheel-ing post otlice and sent the jewels in a package to herself care of the lock-box- . Shu then took a train to Pittsburg, in-tending to get the jewels out upon her arrival. She was, however, arrested, aud it is believed that in expectancy of this she sent the diamonds by mail. ill.

Th$ Secretary of the World's Columbian lair Thinks Things are Not Go-ing His Way. THAT TEN MILLION PROMISE. She Was Married Today-M- rs. Astor Gives a Ball A Family Reunion. Washington-- , Aug. 21. Special. Hen Butterworth, secretary of the World's Columbian fair, is here in a mission which notwithstanding his en-ergy and his sanguine, temperament has discouraged him.Whcn the World's fair was voted to Chicago it was pro-vided that the should not is-sue his proclamation announcing the fair to the nations of the world until Chicago could show $10,000,000, with which to meet the expenses and to carry on the enterprise. Butterworth is endeavoring to convince the presi-dent that the proclamation should bo issued without delay and that it is not necessary for him to wait until Chicago complies w ith her part of the agree-ment. He is positive in his assurance that Chicago will have the designated amount anil more too, if necessary, when wanted. Tho fact that the di-rectors in Chicago are in a muddle about the site for the fair has a depress- - ing effect upon the secretary. It is re-marked as strange that the local directors before they tendered the lake front fur a site did not ascertain if they could secure the land for that purpose, especially as they had been fully aware that the title to it is in dispute. A visitor from Chicago today said that the success of the fair is being jeopardized by real estate speculators and by politicians. He recalled tho fact that when Chicago was making a light for the fair the rank and file who ap-peared here to battle for it were demo-crats to a man almost, although fortun-ately for Chicago no politics was then mentioned. Since then the democrats have been forced to the rear and repub-licans have organized tho directory. The officers who have been elected are republicans, anil now the man most prominently mentioned for director-genera- l, Col. (ieorge K. Davis, is a re-publican. Col. Pavis who is at pres-ent county treasurer, served three terms in congress. If he should be appointed before the election in November il is quite possible that tho amendment to the constitution which will be voted upon to permit the city to increase its indebtedness $5,000,000 for the fair will be defeated, as the demo-crats are not pleased at the prospect of having the fair managed entirely by republicans, several of whom are active party men, and the "iirorkingmen arc chagrined at the curt manner in which their suggestion to havo eight hours constitute a day's work was treated by tho legislature. Then the Chicago visitor said that there was some question as to whether if the taxpayers should vote the $5,000,000, it could be used for fair purposes if the lake front as a site is totally abaudoned, as the constitutional aineudtiient provides that a part of the money must be expended iu tilling up the lake. Altogether, he said, the situ-ation was very complicated, aud it w as his opinion that if a site is not selected without delay a postponement of the fair is inevitable. ''. DIXEY'S DENIAL. The Actor Sa.rs Hit Wile lias Not Sued Him Fur A IilTtiwe. Kansas Cirv. Mo., Aug. 21. Henry K. Dixie and his company, composed of tiO members, were at the I niou depot this morning, occupying two Tollman coaches. Tney nn-ive- direct from New York aud left over the I'nion IV cific for San Francisco, where the lirst engagement of the season will be tilled, beginning uet Monday. The party is supplied with every luxury which hu-man ingenuity can de isc. The greater portion of one of the coaches was cleared of chairs this morning, and in the strains of delightful music furnished by the orchestra, several couples in dancing. A regular "break-down- " was one of tho nnm hers and afforded great amusement to iho spectators wlu crowded about the cars by the hundreds. The associated press oil Saturday last sent out an account from New Yolk of a suit for divorce alleged to have been, instituted by Mrs. Henry K liin against her husband, who is charged with being altogether too ray and inti-mate with other women. Mr. Hivinsaid to a reporter this morning that he had just wired his lawyer iu Now York lo give the papers a strong denial of tho tiling of the suit as well as uf the charges. ' If there was such a suit filed it was against some other Hixey wtti whom have no acquaintance," suid Ibvev. "My wife anrl I have had several btllo tantrums, w hich are likely to occur in the best of families, but these disputes were of no importance,' aud have al-ways been amicably settled between us. There is no foundation whatever, for the report, and it has caused me no end of trouble since it appeared in print." SCAHUTV 0F MONEY. A Stringency of tho Dollars of the Dads Is Telt in Wall Street Finan-cial Circles, NOTHING LIKE IT IN YEARS. Those Who Went Through the Panic in 1GS1 ay tbo Present Aspect Is Similar. New Yokk. Aug. 21. -- Wall Street. 1 The strengeucy in the money market today was sharper than it lias ever Lteou since the May panic of 1HS-)- . At the opening of the slock exchange the brokers who wi re long of stocks and had lHtrrowed money on them were glad to renew loans at, 20 per cent per annum. Kven this rale would not bring a re-newal of n loan in many cases ami be-fore eloten o'clock many borrowers re-ceived notices that their loans had been called in. The brokers who bought stock yesterday in anticipation of relief from the treasury department, tried to obtain funds to pay fur their purchases, but were unable to do so and this com-bined demand caused a large crowd lo remain around tho money post on ex-change all day. Early loans were made at 25 per cent but tha supply at this tigurn was loon exhausted and the rates moved up 10, .M, 00. TO. SO. 00, and before I o'clock tho pre ailing rate was IMl per cent, or eipial to legal interest and a premium of J per cent per day. RIVERS OF ELOQUENCE.

Never before were so many sharks prowling about the Connecticut coast. Schools of them are seen by mariners almost daily lurking about bathing re-sorts. A- - lot of them have haunted Wild Quoiiochontaug beach for several weeks, aud one of them has come to grief at the hands of a valliant Quono-ehoutau- g maid. Next to the women of Wcquetoquock, who stormed Commit-teeman Stanton's school house, jabbed a crowbar through his wrist and badly cut up his henchmen, because Stanton did not want them to hold prayer meet-ings in the house, the women of Quono-chontau- g are tho pluckiest women in southern Rhode Island. It was Annie Babcock, who works for Mrs. A. S. Briggs among the Sand Dunes of the beach, who bagged, the shark. Tho wiekwl beast became foolhardy in his hunting atmosphere and on the crest of aMightv surf billow came away up the strand where Annie was strolling. Then swiftly the wave ran back into the ocean and the shark was left partly stranded. The young woman prccei-ve- d his plight instantly, and, getting a club, ran down the beach to the side of the struggling fish. As she came up ho opened his cavernous jaws, thrashed the sand with his tail and threw his head about, Then Annie opened the battle and brought the heavy club down with hasty strokes upon his ugly head. She soon had him laid out, and then getting a boat-hoo- and with the aid of some beach campers she dragged him elear upon the shore. He was 5 feet 10 inches long and weighed about 200 pounds.
