pearance of u person In the employ of Harper

possession. Is puzzling the police and has
caused great uneasiness among a largo num-
Der of persons. On Saturday, September [,
about 10 80 a. m. Henry Murden, who has
been In the employ Of Harper Brothers for
some time and who had recently been pro-
NOTED to the position of assistant foreman in
tho stereotyping department, and whose bus
mess II was to pay the men in that branch Of
the establishment, went to the cashier Of the
firm and drew the requisite amount of money
for the week 3 pay roll, said to be about $500:
he then wont outside Of the building for the
purpose OF smoking cigar, and meeting q
friend, another emplove of the firm. asked
him to smoke, paying for two cigars out of
his money. at the same time returning his
friend small amount of borrowed money.
After little while his friend said that he
must return to business, and Murden said
that he would walk around the block and fin
ish Lis cigar, and then return and pay off his
men. He moved very slowly up Frankfort
street, and that was the last seen Of him. The
father OF the young man, Joseph Murden,
is an old and valued cmploye of the firm, and
when young Murdon's absence was noticed he
was Mt once informed, and Immediately noti-
fled the police, saying that he was sure his son
had been foully dealt with. The police have
been diligently at work for over month, and
have not obtained the slightest clue. The
friends of the young man are I'm deep distress
Young Murden resided with his parents ut
Newark, N. j.. and was remarkably steady
known to have any bad habits, and as n rule
spent his evenings at home On the morning
on which he disappeared he came to the city
with his father as usual. and nothing strange
was noticed about his behavior; he had not
changed his clothing, and there are no cir
cumstances which point to the belief that he
intended to abscond with the money. He had
often before had charge of much larger sums.

largely IN insurance scrip. and OF course there
are always many certificates floating around

Mr. Jones, president Of the Atlantic Mutual

There were two certificates of The Atlantic
