QUITE an excitement was created in
Martins Ferry, Oh Tuesday, by the mys-
terious disappearance of Thomas A.
Jenkins, grocer at Ntnaville. He left
his place of business about o'clock on
Monday evening with some groceries
that he was to deliver. On Tuesday
morning the packages were found in an
unfrequented place near Milligah's
slaughter-house, but up to this time no
one has seen Mr.. Jenkins. 1t is known
that he was somewhat involved and it
has preyed on his mind to some extent,
and it is now feared that he has either
strayed away or committed suicide. His
family are almost distracted by the un-
certainty.
