currency this morning that Wilson

had taken his departure for parts un-
known, at an carly hour a large crowd
Of people congregated around the
brokers' office to ascertain tho truth OF
the matter. There were various aud
conflicting stories In regard TO the
affair. Some contended that Dunlap
had not absconded. but had merely
gone out buggy-riding, and would re-
turn in time 70 open hi, office rs usual.
Ten o'clock came, however, but no
Dunlap. The safe In the office was
unlocked. and it, sole contents were
found to consist Of two shares Of Phil
Sheridan and five OF Pictou mining

be, was occasioned by the late decline
In stocks. We are not informed in
