From the New York Sun. June Ill
Mr.. L. A. Steadman, wealthy Eng
lishmsn, and member of the Dry Salt
ers' Guild of Londen, came to this city
sfew days ago on tour of recreation.
He left Liverpool in company with Sir
John harrington, an ex-Mayor of Dub
lin. On their arrival they registered
their names at the Brevoort House, and
made that hotel their headquarters. For
several days they visited various places
of interest in the city, drove in the Cen
trail Park, dashed through Harlem Lane,
and attended several places of amuse-
ment.
On Sunday. morning Mr.. Steadman
was shaved, and seemed to pay particular
attention to the neatness of his attire.
He called the walters, and had his clothes
brushed very carefully, after which he
took his bat aud cane, and said that he
thought be would take little walk, as
he found the American air agreed with
his health. In few seconds he returned,
remarking that the air was chilly, and
called for his spring overcoat He then
avenue. He has never returned. The
city has been thoroughly searched for
him, but thus far not the least clue has
been found. A detective learned that q
gentleman answering his description had
been seen on cross-town car at an early
hour in the evening; but an investigation
showed that this was only Brooklyn
-four and feed merchant, who was return
ing to his home after visit to the Gen.
trail Park. The officers are still en-
deavoring to strike his trail, but with
scarcely any hopes of success.
