Captain Young then divided his forces, de-

A lookout was also kept by them upon the

panied by one or two OF his men. going TO the
Erie depot, and the others keeping watcn on
Taylor's Hotel, the old refuge of flying Erie
Directors. In the depot building, Captain
Young and his men found a drawing.room car
lighted up, and a locomotive and tender al
tsched. The tender was filled with wood, and
apparently preparations had been made for 3
long run. The railroad officials seemed
unusually reticent. The station agent,

which had been detached from the car and was
slowly moving backward and forward on the
track, apparently for the purpose ofkeeptng up
a good head of steam. The agent replied tnat
he attended to his duties. and probably the man
whose business twas 10 attend to the car would
in like manner attend to his. The agent soon
afterwards left, and, proceeding to the adjoin-
ing hotel, soon returned with man, apparently
a conductor, the latter bearing signal lantern.
Accosting the supposed conductor, Captain
Young asked him II he could take another
passenger with him on his next trip. The con-
ductor (for such he proved to be- replied that he
was the conductor of the milk train, and was
not going out again that night. Captain Young
again asked him, in case ne went out that
night. to take him as passenger, andthe con-
ductor again insist ed that he was not going out
that night. While thus engaged in conversa-
tion, three clear and distinct whistles were
sounded from the direction of the Bergen Tun-
mel. This was answered by the conductor swing
ing his lantern. The station agent here became
very much excited, declared that the train in

about O'Clock A. M. At $50 o'clock A. M. the
carriage which had left the front of the Erie
building was observed crossing to this side on
the Pavonia avenue ferry boats, but the former
occupants had disappeared. 1t is conjectured
that the carriage and occupants crossed on either
the Christopher street or some other OF the up
town ferries.
Yesterday neither OF the directors mentioned
was to be seen in or around the Erie Building
and the rumor was that they had fed, taking
with them the entire available assets of the road
amounting, in stocks and money so the rumor
ran, TO from $1,000 900 10 S0000,0OO Wnere The
refugees have gone to Is mystery. The
car episode would seem to indicate that
they had gone long distance down the
Erie Railway, but there are those who dc
not hesitate TO assert that both gentlemen
can be found, should diligent searcn be male
either in this city or Jersey City. The affair
has created the most intense excitement In
Wall street and in legal circles, consld darable
curiosity being evinced TO know what ex-Judge
Henry Il. Davies, the Receiver appointed by
Judge Sutherland, will do in the matter. Iu
the meantime those most directly interested in
the road, with the aid of the police of this CITY
are endeavoTing to ascertain the whereabouts
Of the missing officers and the large sum they
have in CustOdY.
