mysterious Disappearance.


The steamer Mary Miller arrived at
this port from st. Louis yesterday, bear
| ing the sad news of another mysterious
disappearance. just before leaving the
latter point a gentleman who gave his
name as William Bryan, from Warren,
Mo-, boarded the boat and took passage
for this city. He was well dressed, and
had with him large travelling trunk
and fine double.barreled shotgun. The
second day upon the water the officers
of the boat noticed that he was not a
perfectly tranquil man, and 1T becsm9
apparent, from portions of his cOnyersa-
tlon, that he was very uneasy as to the
whereabouts OF some woman. The off,
GERS, judging that he had some trouble
with some one, kept pretty close
watch over him, all thinking that, after
little while, he would become calmer.
But they were sadly mistaken.
When the boat landed at Boston, KY,
he left her and went up into the woods,
and has not been seen since. AS soon
as the boat reached here, Detective
Wappenstein, together with Special OF
ticer Theo. Petit, examined the missing
mans trunk, and found letter in a
Iady's handwriting, apparently his sis
ter, dated 211 schenectady avenue,
Brooklyn, l.. l., signed, "1our sis
| ter, NJ. Bryan" A shirt was also found
in the trunk, one sleeve Of which was
stained with blood.
The theory of the boat officers who
heard his almost insane rawlings about
"the woman" is that Bryan either lost
by violent death, some woman dear 10
him or else he killed her himself, and be-
ing goaded by remorse, committed sui
eide in the woods.
Detective Wappenstein and Officer
Petit also agree in the above theory, but
of course, know no more Of the strange
case than detailed above.

she came forth smiling after the perform
ance at Barnum's, yesterday afternoon, to
meet a reporter of the World.
Fifteen minutes before the latter had
set in mute astonishment while this young
woman, clad in perfectly fitting and be-
coming tights, waved a kitchen chair in
her teeth, or by the tip end of its back
held it at right angles to her comely figure,
while all the multitude applauded. Now
he stood alone in the presence Of the fash
ionable young lady. with pretty dimpled
cheeks and large grey eyes, that twinkled
beneath perfect garden of flowers in the
shape Of a spring hat, and which looked
honestly at the reporter as the above an
nouncement was MADE. The transition
from Greek statuary to Partisan vitality
was too sudden /; the reporter stood speech
less.

difficulty artlculating through q widely

all my life, and never had q moments

Accurately described, and without any
political reference to pearls, Miss De
GranvilIe's teeth are perfect, which, con-
sldering the fact that for the past six
years she has put them to such uncommon
uses $ the lifting Of water casks and Shet-

"Nas, unused the young lady, as the re-
porter expressed this opinion. MY teeth

Maple-Sugar Statistics.

A few figures about the maple sugar
