Pittsburgh, p, Oct ga very mysterious case
OF fsudden and unaccounlable disappearance has
come To light In this city yesterday Alexander
Caldwell, young gentleman, who came here
from Wheeling W, Va, abouta year ago, ana VINO
belongs TO one OF the wealthiest and most promi'
nent iamllest In that CITY has not been seen or
heard ofaince the night OF Sunday, September 20,
at seven O'clock He was head bookkeeper In a
large grocery house and was generally very quiet
and steady In his habits. On Sunday evening he
was out walking with friend when they met q
young lady, whom the friend Joined, and propos'
cd TO accompany her TO her residence. Caldwell
then bade them good night, saying that he would
meet his friend at one Of the hotels hn hour later
Since then nothing has been heard OF him
THEORIES REGARDING HIS FATE.
There are two theories regarding his fate, The
most probable one 10 that Of the detectives who
are working up the case. II seems that we'll
known sporting man who lives near Allegheny,
had mistress who had met Caldwell and became
infatuated with him. The Jealousy Of the proteC.
tor OF the girl was arou ed and he removed her 10
private apartment In some unknown house. She
sent word to Caldwell as 10 her whereabouts and
he continued TO visit her. When he left his friend
on Sunday night he told him he intended to visit
this girl, but would not tell where she was It Is
thought that the girls first lover came into her
room while Caldwell was there aud in his fury
murdered him and disposed ofthe body some way.
The girl has been traced to Wheeling aud will be
arrested tonight Her lover has not been found,
and the room where she lived cannot be discov-
cred.
ANOTHER THEORY.
The other theory is that he was set on by some
OF the numerous bands OF street thieves thatln est
the city, who judged from his elegant clothes that
he had valuables on his person. He had, howev'
er only couple ofdollars in money in his pocket
and handsome ring on his finger He had
large sum due him by his employers but did not
draw any Of It, His books and accounts have
been examined and found to be in perfect order
SO there seems to be but little doubt of foul play
These facts are only known to the firm who am.
