New YORK, Nov. 21.-TWo strange cases OF
mysterious disappearance in this city are e1-
citing the public and pulling the police. At
half-past o'clock On Thursday morning, the
14th inst, Mr. George 81. Peyy, merchant OF
Louisville, KY, disappeared at the street door
OF the Brandreth House, corner Of Canal street
and Broadway, and he has not since been seen
or heard Of. Mr.. Pevy is know to have had on
his person at the time about 5000, which he
had drawn the day before from tho Nassau Ma
tional- Bank, of Brooklyn. In the bosom OF
his shirt we're two magnificent pearls, valued
at $500. He carried in his waistcoat
pocket an old-fashioned gold watch, with white
dial, that his grandfather had given him. This
watch, which was OF Liverpool make, was fas-
tened to heavy old-fashioned chain, also a
relic. The money Mr. Pevy drew from the bank
WAS given to him in q one-thousand-dollar bill
four -hundred-do11ar bills, four one-hundred-
dollar bills, and six fftydollar bills. It is very
probable MI. Pew had good deal more money
and md steady. His brother says be
never saw him drunk in his life, and he donbts
very much il any one else ever did. He has al
had recently retired from the insurance business,
and came here to embark IN some other CONNER
cial pursuit. He is reported to be worth $4,000,
and his wife il also wealthy. It is believed by
the police that q woman YVES placed on the track
Of fir. Pevy, who followed him from place to
place, and him draw the 95 900 from the Brook
1yn Bank. Justice Peyy, OF Louisville, a brother
Of the missing man, who came to this city to
join in the search, says that he has carefully
a1nined his brothers affairs, and found every
mans wife, believes that hIr. Peyy has been
murdered for the money which he was known to
have carried about him. The police have ar
rested one or two suspicious men, who have
been seen hanging around the Brandreth House,
The search for Nr. Van Doran, Of Brooklyn,
continues. The case creates the greatest sensa-
ton throughout Long Island, where the family
OF the missing man is well known, and in
many localities people. are making search in
the surrounding woods. The relatives and
friends have waited every locality where it WAS
known duck-shooting was INDUCED in, including
Ca narsie, Rufae Bar, Oyster Bar, Little Neck,
and Fire Island. At the hrst-named place, it
was learned that d man had been fshed out Of
the centre OF his forehead, but the remains did
not answer the description Of Van Doran. No
doubt exists in the minds Of the people but that
the stranger WAS robbed and murdered, land then
thrown into the water. Van Doran is believed
to have met the same fate.
The war upon the concert saloons continues,
andmany deus are closed. The waiter girls are
afraid to resume business, and customers are
fearful OF raids The Superintendent Of Police
says he will continue the descents until all In
decent aud unlicensed concert saloons are rooted
out. This will destroy all except few which
have theatrical and liquor icenses. The Can
terbury has discharged it's fifty Waiter-grls, and
will, hereafter be a theatrical saloon.
The Widow Wade sued e1-Mayor Ka1bheisch,
Of Brooklyn, for 800, 1000 damages, for breach
Of promise. The defendant, in his answer, AYERS
that "the promise WAS expressly upon condition
and in the event that, upon inquiry, 1t should
prove that tho plaintiff WAS, and had been, OF
fair fame and repute." The widow accepted this
limited: proposal and the venerable Mayor
states that lis investigation Was wholly unfa
Yorable. The case will soon be tried.
