THE missing BALTIMORE MERCHANT The
Baltimore merchant, MIR. James Allen, who
mysteriously disappeared a week or two since,
and has turned up In New orleans, Is well
known here, having about two and a half wears
since married lady well known in this city
Mrs. Edna Burgess. There were Immediately
after the disappearance some statements made
as to domestic troubles, but 1t is learned that
there Is no reason for any such statements. The
fact that an examination into his accounts
shows that they are all straight removes any
suspicion that finances had anything to do with
his going away, The explanation OF his course
accepted as most plausible by his friends here,
is, that in consequence OF disease his mind had
become somewhat impaired temporarily, and
that he wandered of In that condition without
any aim or object.
