A SWINDLE ExrOSBn.
The United States consul at Malaga
reports to the department of state a
fraudulent scheme intended to obtain
money from credulous Americana recent
ly discovered there , after having appar
ently boon for a considerable time in
successful operation. It is AS follows :
The alleged euro of one of the Spanish
churches wrote the head ofa family in
the United States that ho attended in
his dying moments in prison a brigadier
who entrusted to him the guardianship
of u child and a large property relation
ship with the person addressed and the
young heir being intimated. Consider
able money is alleged to have been se
creted by the brigadier during his flight'
with the Carlist army , and secrecy is en
joined on account of the sanctity of the
priestly oflico and efforts of the Spanish
, government to obtain the secreted for
tune. The communication .ends with a
request for money to send the child to
its American relatives. The 'Consul adds
that ho ia constantly receiving inquiries
from the United States about such let
ters , and in sonio instances persons from
this country even visited Spain for the
rtmrposo of obtaining the fortune supposed -
; posed to bo awaiting them.
POSTAL UECEirEK.
Mr. Hazon , third assistant postmaster
; general , haa compiled a statement based
. on returns from 140 postaflicos which
; , usually return one-half the postel revenue -
> nuo , showing that the gross receipts for
itho quarter ended December.31 , 1883 ,
wore $5,053,870. This is a falling off in
receipts from the corresponding quarter
. of. the previous year of § 183,854 , or 1.3
per cent. A loss of 5 per.cent has
ibeen expected on account of reduced
, postage. Thoio returns are very .grati
fying , and indicate that the department
will bo m receipt of revenue sufficient to
.at least moot the expenses of the procent

NKWAHK , N. , T. , January 14. It
waa on Saturday , the 5th of tliig month ,
that Charles Dolmonico , the proprietor
of the famous Delmonico restaurants , in
Now York , loft hia homo in that city ,
ami because ho had boon ill for soniu
nonths , and was in n feeble condition nt
Jio tiino of hia disappearance , his unex
plained absence caused his family and
rio'nds liardly lusa distress than nnxioty
'orhis safety. Evpry exertion was put
'orth to find him either living or cloud ,
but without avail , although rewards were
otForcd and detectives employed , and un
til to-day the mystery of hia whereabouts
remained unsolved. While the search
s at its height , there is no doubt that
10 waa lying dead on iho mountain side in
Orange , this state , having probably died
on the ( ! th , the next day after his disap
pearance.
Two boys vrho were out hunting rab
bits to-day found a dead body undorn tree
in the wooda on the mountain side juat
below General McClollan's residence.
The Orange police were informed and
took charge of the body , and recognizing
it as that ef Charles Dolmonioo notified
the friends of the deceased in Now York
and Dr. Honalt , the county physician.
The clothing , papers and jewelry on the
body were undisturbed. There is no
doubt that Dolmonico in a fit of tem
porary insanity wandered to the spot
and was frozen to death. Ho waa 44
years of ajo ; , waa born in Now York and
was a bachelor.
It is learned that about 2 o'clock on
the morning of January ( i , John Dicfl'on-
thal , who works for a farmer on Orange
mountain , while driving from Montclair
to Orange saw a man leaning wearily
against the fence. This was at the junc
tion of the road leading from Or.mgo to
Montclair. It is certain now that the
man was Dolinonico. lie hailed Diof-
fonthal and begged shelter. The farmer
said the speech of the wayfarer was so
thick ho could acarcoly understand him.
Dolmonico's speech had been thick since
his trouble came on. Ho was bitterly
cold but the farmer was afraid of tramps
and instead of taking the man into hia
wagon drove on after directing him to
Orange , a mile distant. The wander
ings of the man from this point con
only be conjectured , but lie probably
wont aimlessly along the road on the
mountain until overcome with cold > md
then laid down and was frozen to death.
HUSHING I'OIl THE llKWAlll ) .
NEW YOUK , January 14. When the
dispatch announcing the finding of Del-
monico'n body was received
at the Adams express oflico ,
A. C. Babcock , to whom it was
addressed , was already on the way to
Orange. Mr. Hooy and Mr Mora were
discussing the latest clues together in
Hooy's .private rooms. BangK , manager
of Pinkerton's detective agency , rushed
in with iho announcement , ' ' We've found
the body. " After a consultation the
four men jumped into one of the Adams
express wagons , and the party reached
the station Justin time to catch the train
for Orange Dolmonico , it would seem ,
after leaving the elevated railroad train
wont at once to the Pennsylvania rail
road ferry , where ho boarded the first
train for Newark. After wandering
about in the neighborhood whore hia
gloves and pieces of letters and other
memoranda were found , ho walked back
to Broad street and boarded onu of the
horse'cars ' running between Newark and
Orange. It is probable ho did not know
in what direction ho waa going , and that
when the car arrived at the terminus of
the road ho walked in a dazed condition
along the Worth field road and wandered
in the wooda. The night was cole ] , the
temperature being nearly at zero , and
bouumbed by the cold ho probably lay
down to sleep and was frozen to death.
jFAMIIiY IIIHTOllY.
Probably no living New Yorker was
known to more people than Charles
Dclmonicn , and it is diflicult to "make
him dead. " The Dolmonicoa were orig
inally Spanish , but they early emigrated
to Switzerland , attracted by the ensign
of the Alpine republic , but finding it
very hard > to got a living there , in 1827
two brothers , John and Peter , accom
panicd by their nephew , Francois , loft
the Imnlot of Faido , in the Canton du
Tossiu , tiwitcerland , and caino to Now
York. They ware skilled in the culinary
art , which they turned to advantage by
opening an unpretending restaurant on
William street , which goon became fa
mous , iiud always .held its own , oven
after the greater establishment , corner
of Broadway aud Chambers street , and
on Fourteenth utroct , were in full sweep.
It was do wit hero ilia t Webster and Clay
dined together , hero that Louis Napoleon
loon exhibited bin card tricks and prac
ticodthonow "valsu"hehad just learned.
Hero Garibaldi got a warm meal or tweet
et the expense of .generous and sympathetic
thotic admirer.
The Chambers street restaurant was
established in 1859 , aud at once became
the fashionable rendezvous. Hero the
grc t society dinners were given for eight
yearc till it wag iu turn suspersod by
the more palatial establishment on Four
teenth street. Thio last house had a
famous history , and illustrious turround-
ings. Princes and grand dukes were
among iti gueats , und each president in
turn was feted there. There the Dickem
dinner was ( given. There Jlorsoreceived
hia apotheosis. There Field waa honored
at the completion of the Atlantic cable.
In 18"/i / the present principal houto on
Fifth avenue , at Madison trjuaro , waa
built , and three other Delmoriicn establishments
lishmonts are still Nourishing.
OHAItLEH1 KXOlTKMKNr ,
Charles , the deceased , was born in thi
city. Ho was a bachelor , and to ( hat is
Attributed the fact that ho WM a broken
dowii man. For four yearn ho ha * been
morbid , and lately ho linn become cyni
cal , bitter and moroso. His mind has
failed rnpidly , and for the last throe
months ho has not superintended his
business to any extent. It ia reported
tlmt ho lost a million dollars in stocks
last summer , and it is to bo inferred that
the report is true. Like Solomon , ho
liad exhausted all other formn of excite
ment , and then ho rushed into Wall
street a year or twoaigovith a frcimud
desperation , as Solomon would no
loubt have done if there had been u
lively stock exchange on "tho street
which wo called Straight2,000 years
ago. Dolmonico was one of the men who
krunt into _ the strcnt for fun and not for
, ; ain caring little , indeed , whether ho
rained or lost. His reason was un-
neatcd , no doubt , but tlmt > was not the
result of hia stock operations , but the
cause of them. His niphow , C. D.
Dhrist , who will inherit * good deal of
the § 11,000,000 of existing property , jms
already a restaurant called "Christ's
restaurant , " ( pronounced short "Christ" )
ip near the McComb's dam bridge. It
a understood that if ho succeeds to the
; rcat establishment in the city the name
of Dclmonico will bo retained as the
designation.
The body was brought hero late this
aftornnoon in a perfect state of preserva
tion , although it has been eight or nine
days since death. The funeral will occur
Thursday morning.
