Commissioner Carter of the general land office bas made his report on the operations of his bureau during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1892. In thiv he says: “A carefal reading of this report will demon - strate that the iiberal and jxst policy toward the settlers upon the public domain adopted by Secretary Noble at the beginning of this admin- istration has been productive of very satisfac- tory and beneficent results. “T felt justified.” he continues, mg tn my annual report of last year that with the force then at command the business of this bureau would be brought up abreast with cur- ent work by the end of the fiveal closed. It is gratifving to me to now be able to report to you that a literal fulfillment of that prediction has been fully consummated.

At the samo | time the family homestead, in which lived and now lives Mrs. Ketcham No.1, is at No. 816 12th street, Brooklyn, quite at the other side of 6 city, | ~The McDonough house is much finer than thi one in which he had installed - his mother, | legitimate wife and his brother-in-law, Stout, in 12th street. The first is a showy, newly fin- ished, fashionable-looking residence, with every improvement. The other is a frame cottage, shabby looking in comparison, and with a cheap little garden in front, If Ketcham rogulated his expenditurasaccord- ing to his affections the bogus wife must have been the best beloved. ‘Fhore was nothing with which the McDonough street home was not supplied. ‘Tho most expensive establishments | in New York and Brooklyn catered to tho com- | fort of the St. Louis woman, and the menage 75,000 strangers will | was regarded as the most extravagant im the | neighborhood. In 12th street the man was known as a sort of | foreman o: stevedore. In McDonough strect he was superintendent of the company, with a | salary of $12,000 or $15,000. year, and’he was | prominently mentioned in conne: with tho presidency of the corporation when there shou!d vacancy. Children pointed him out to each other as the owner of the Puritan and P | grim, the huge Fall River line steamers, From the way he flung the company’s money about one would have thought he had its treasury un- | der his control. | When Ketcham was in his prosaic 12th atreet home fretting and fuming under domestic re- traint and dying to be off to his McDonough street bower, strange telegrams would arrive calling bim to the ‘Fall Tiver pier. Steamers were all the time bumping into ‘something and nearly every kind of arrangement seemod to go | ¥ wrong. The poor tired husband was often pic- tured by the wife lifting anchors and quenching blazing bales of cotton at the foot of Murray | street when he was pla moking his cigar in his other home and tell busy he had beon at the pier. Saturday evening and the whole of Sunday he | invariably spent in McDonongh strect. ‘This | was the cream of his week when he was really away from his labor. To his wife he was in Boston or Fail River still toiling to earn the | dividends of the New England corporation. On Monday and Tneeday his nights were spent thaps in 12th wtreet. ‘Then he told wife No. 2 how ho was forced to sleep on a lounge in his office to be on hand for the 0; ing of his great campaign against work at daylight. Once he took his real wife to Shelter Island |fora vacation. It galled him to be away from McDonough street, Pretty soon urgent tele- | grams—that were never sent by the company-— | reached him demanding his ently the line would go to the d this €125a month clerk. Who sent these dis- Fatches ix, of course, not known. Ketcham, as hay’ been tid, vanished on | Thursday. ‘Ihe night before he went he arked | wife No.2 if she needed any money. She assured him that she didn't, as there were no | bills coming due. A short time before she had got a woman's dread of burglars, sho knew not from what source, and became sfraid to keep her diamonds in’ tho house. She intrusted | them to the man ehe believed to be her hus- | band to take toasafe deposit vault. Where | they are now she does not know. Immediately after the disyppearance | rome one who had stood in great awe of Ketcham went to Mr. Freeland and gave him the hint which led to the discovery of the stealings from the company, | the books with the aid of the information of | this person, it is said, and it was shown that the pay rolis had been padded, ———— COULDN'T FACE THE FUTURE.
