been a sensation here for the last two
months, has been partially cleared up by
the finding of her body in an unfrequented
part of Richmond park.
The remains were horribly decomposed,

qualified doctor of medicine, was perform
ing her duties st the Royal Free hospital

searched for her.
She was a helthy woman, 2 years of
age, and took nothing with her except a
few pounds sterling In cash. The reason

BALTIMORE, Oct II. The suspension of
the Maryland Trust company today created
Intense excitement in financial and busi
ness circles and many people hurried to
ths offices of the company to erlfy the
news. The excitement was greatly Intensi
fied two hours afterward by the announce
ment that the Union Trust company had
also failed. Bankers and financiers gen
erally, however, combined to allay what
ever of panicky feeling was made, manifest
by assurances that the troubles of ths
companies were only temporary.
Allan MeLane, third vice president of the
Maryland Trust company, waa appointed
receiver of that concern, giving a bond cf
K,000.n, and Miles White, jr.. vice presi
dent of the Union Trust company, was ap
pointed receiver of that corporation, his
bond being .laced at n.OWiOk Receiver
McLane promptly Issued a general state
ment to the effect that the embarrassment
of the Maryland company was due to the
heavy loans made to the Vera Crus & Pa
cific Railroad company, aggregating ss,-
ooti.ooo.
The Maryland Trust company was fiscal
agent of the railroad. It Is officially an
nounced that the company's local Invest
ments had nothing to do with Its embar
rassment. The company arranged a loan
of $2,000,000 In London last week for the
purpose of supplying the Vera Crux A Pa
cific Railroad company with needed caeh
in connection with construction, but before
the money was turned to tho fiscal agent
the negotiations were broken off and this
precipitated tho suspension.
Ron on l alea Trail Coaapnny.
The suspension of the Union Trust com
pany was owing to a run made upon It by
depositors in consequence of the announced
failure of the Maryland company.
Charles T. Crane, vice president of the
Union Trust company, said that the
troubles of the company were only tem
porary. 'Ws could not realixe quickly on
our securities and the run which followed
the announcement of the receivership of
the Maryland Trust company caused the
trouble," he said. "It was therefore hur
riedly decided to apply for a receiver for
our company. Ml'.ea White, Jr., vice presi
dent of the company, was appointed re
ceiver by common consent A statement
will be furnished the public later In the
day."
MUes White, Jr., receiver for tho Union
Trust company, verified the statement f
Vice President Crane, saylngl
After the announcement of tho failure of
the Maryland Trust company a run on our
company was begun by Its depositors. s
feared that this would take eu larger pro
portions tomorrow aud swamp us. In order
to protect everyone it wss decided to go
Into court today and apply for a receiver.
I am not yet able to malte a detailed etate-rr-rV
.. t know positively the eosapanr
aasets are good and that every .depositor
will be paid la full.
So far as known there Is no financial or
business connection between the two sus
pended companies.
Business was practically suspended on
the Baltimore Stock, Exchange today.
There was a large attendance at both calls,
but brokers, realizing tho nervousness In
financial circles and the hopelessness of
offering stocks and bonds, except at mate
rial reduction in prices, concluded not to
force sales. Holders of securities were ad
vised by bankers and brokers not to sacri
fice their Investments.
Reasons for First Failnre.
Receiver McLane Issued the following
signed statement this afternoon explana
tory of the failure of the company:
The whole cause of the embarrassment
of the company Is tho fact that it has
loaned to the Vera Crus A 1'acitic Railroad
company in Mexico a very large sura or
money, aa security for which It holds on
deposit the entire issue of first mortgage
bonds, ti.tmo.yw preferred stock and li.ouu.uuo
common stock of that road, and owing to
the unfavorable condition ol tne money
market It haa been unable to effect a satis
factory loan Uxu thee securities.
The Maryland Trust company has for
some time been able to go along without
serious embarrassment In spite of having
so much of its money tied up In the Vera
Crus A- Pacific railroad and would un
doubtedly have been able to wait a longer
time for a loan on or sale of those securi
ties were it not for the fact that in addi
tion It has a large line of demand deposits
subject to withdrawal on call and that dur
ing the last week two large withdrawals
were made upon It. This rendered It abso
lutely necesaary for the conduct of the
bualneaa upon an honorable basis to obtain
a temporary loan upon certain ot the In
vestments owned by the company.
This latter loan waa In process of nego
tiation with prospects of a favorable result
when on Saturday last the third vice presi
dent, who, owing to the Illness and absence
for the past six weeks of the president and
vice president, had been compelled to take
up the entire management of the company,
discovered that the obtaining of such a
loan waa merely temporising; that the ob
taining of such temporary loan, when taken
in consideration with the proponed loan on
the Vera Cruz A Pacific secunttoa fell far
short of enabling the company to continue
to conduct buHiuess upon an honorable
basis. In short that to obtain the tem
porary loan In question was only putting off
the evil day upon the chance of effecting a
sale of the Vera Crux A Pacific railroad
securities In order to make Itself absolutely
solvent.
Committee Orders laiaeailoa.
In view of this condition of affairs I went
to New Tork on Saturday night and with
drew the application for Uie temporary
loan and called together the members of
ths executive committee who could be
reached to meet me Suuday nlcht upon my
return from New Tork, at which meeting
I laid before them the aituaUon of the
company, discovered by me for tha first
time the day previous, and told them that
in my opinion we could not run the rlak of
waiting until Tueatlay for artion by Uie
directors at their quarterly meeting, as,
should large withdrawals take place on
Monday the company would manifestly be
unable to meet tuem and we would have to
suspend.
The coininlrte spproved of this view and
the bams evening, at the same place, in
conference with representatives of some
of Hie largest and most responsible finan
cial institutions in this city, who had been
invited to meet there, laid before them the
ax. tire state of the case. After a protracted
conference lasting Into Monday morntug.
It waa unanimously decided by all present.
witn great recrei. mat In era was nothing
to do but follow the course proposed.
At this time, without a more accurals
examination of the books and exact know
ledge of the various figures. 1 shall not
attempt to give hjfurea to the preaa, but
will do so at the earliest practicable op
portunity. In the meantime. pr tnpt and
earnest efforts will be made to sdvlaa with
the leading creditors of the com nan v with
a view of making plans to realise to the
best advantage tne various assets.
Ths Maryland Trust company was capit
alised at 12,12.000 and ia a recent report
the surplus waa aaid to be tZ 4S7.500 and
undivided profits 87.02. The deposits were
tS.73.S17. The company made aa effort last

WICHITA, Kan., Oct 11 Cresceus broke
the world's trv-ttlng record for a mile this
afternoon, going the distance in 1:5.V beat

and Major Delmar by a quarter of a second.
The day was ideal and the track could not
have been better. Mr. Ketcham worked
the horse out before the final test In I:lf
and then sent him for the record. He
broke when he first scored for the record,
but on the next attempt was sent off, going
to the first quarter In :S0 flat. There whs
a cheer when he reached the half In :54,
and when the three-quarters was passed
in 1:30 the cheer became an uproar.
Just before he reached the wire Cresceus
broke and It Is bUleved lost fully three
quarters of a second. He caught handily
and flashed under the wire in 1:5s. No
wind shield was used. Cresceus waa paced
by Mike ths Tramp.
Such an ovation as was given Cresceus
when he trotted a mile in 1:94 today and
made a new world's record has rarely been
1 witnessed. The stallion was nearly smoth

or to get near enough to touch him.
George 11. Ketcham, who owns Cresceus
and drove him today, said: "The conditions
were perfect. When I was here week before

Threatening murder for noncompliance
a letter was last evening received by Fled
Metx of Mets lire's Brewing company,
commanding that he place tZ.H) In gold
coin under the Eleventh street viaduct at
the disposal of ths authors of the letter. 1
This letter 1b the second one of similar
nature, the first having been received by
Mr. Metx last Friday and making the
name demand under pain of blowing up
the brewery by dynamite.
Although a show at complying with the
former demand was made, Mr. Met last
night Ignored the second letter, threaten
ing death, by going to the theater to enjoy
the evening, rather than packing 12.600 of
his hard earned cash down to the Eleventh
street viaduct
'The whole thing is a bluff and is the
work of some very coarse artisans," aalJ
Chief Ixmahue last night '1 think no one
is Very greatly disturbed over It unless It
is the fellows who wrote the letters. We
not only have very grave suspicions aa to
their identity, but have clues which mny
lead to their arrest If they ttre not mora
skillful than they appear to be.
"Mr. Metx nor anyone else took money
to the spot designated in the first letter,
but two sacks of rubbish were taken and
the place carefully guarded, but the bold
letter-writers did not show up. The lact
that these fellows are so free with their
deadly threats Is ample proof that they
are bluffing. People Intending to do what
they say they are don't advertise the
fact beforehand, so that their victim may
be fully prepared to meet the emergency."
The letter received last night went on to
tell Mr. Metx that he left the bags at the
spot designated in the former letter too
early In the evening and that he had bet
ter do what was commandod "this time"
or ho and the brewery would both be de
stroyed. BOY CONFESSES TO BURGLARY

f All Rands BSateriac Omaha
Ba Far as Oral Navadllag '
la Coacerwed.
A movement which Is fraught with great
possibilities to the city of Omatia was
launched last night by President Stlckney
of the Great Western. The creation of a
grain market In Omaha when shall bs sec
ond to none In the west Is contemplated
under Mr. SUckney's latest pro root wuicft
Is embodied In a new corporation which is
to be officially known as the "Omaha Grain
Terminals."
Omaha was not much of a live stack
center until the railroads got together and
agreed on rates and terminal matters, and
now the city haa Its stock yards and park
ing bouses and ranks aa ths third great
est live stock center In the world. At pres
ent there Is no grain market here because
the railroads have not gotten together on
certain vital and absolutely neneewary pre
liminaries Mr. BUckney's plan contem
plates the unification of the several rail
roads leading Into Omaha, upon the ques
tions of rates and terminal facilities, and
he has formed a new company, to bs knowu
as the "Omaha Grain Terminals" with
the one object In view of creating In this
city one of the largest grain centers hi
tho west
Haa Boaght the Land.
For some time Mr. Stlckney. through his
agents, has quietly been acquiring title 'to
a large tract of land in the city and now
that he has secured the land he desired,
he Is in a position where he can announce
hia plana He has expended several hun
dred thousands of dollars In the city of
Omaha within the last few weeks, all un
known to the general public, and ths full
meaning of the project he has under way
Is hard to realise.
The land he haa recently purchased la
Included within a atrip beginning at ths
north limits of South Omaha, thence north
to Martha street snd bounded by ths
Union Pacific on . tba east and Walnut
street on the west This piece of land Is
about 1.500 feet long and will constitute a,
tract of land containing mora than thirty
five acres. On this land Mr. Stlckney pro
poses to build a largo number of railroad
tracks, suitable for tho accommodation of
elevators and flouring- mills. He will offer
sites to such persona aa may desira them,
and erect buildings at net cost Tho tracks
which Mr. Stlckney propones to lay on this
bit of land will be connected with the Elk
horn. Burlington, Missouri Pari fie. Rock
Island, Union Pacific. Milwaukee, Great
Western and all other railroads oenterlag
here.
Mr. SUckney's plan provides that the
railroads shall hsvo the Joint ownership
ani control, eventually, of these trackage
facilities, so as to do away with switching
charges. In tbe event sny railroad refuse
to Join in this move, it will necessarily be
compelled to pay for switching facilities
in order to sustain a proper relation with
the roads who will be parties to tho agree
ment and holders of stock.
Articles af Incorporation.
Mr. Stlckney has caused articles of In
corporation of the new concern to be
drafted and will execute them today. The
following ts a copy of the articles of in
corporation :

the amount of the blackmail would be
raised to 130.000, and to show that busi
ness was meant dynamite would be used

Instead of displaying the signal ths rail
road company has sent Its detectives to
