| Yesterday afternoon Mr.. ]. p. Klingle, we'll

1 which was handed to him by a servant who
had Just returned with the carriage from driving
/ Miss Klingle to the city. The note read some

and while not a handsome man has the air and

widow of Gen. Darling, of the U. =. army, q
nections. The son accompanied his mother in
her social rounds, and knew her acquaintance.
In this way he became acquainted with Miss

eighteen. He became visitor at the Klingle

The servant that returned with the note from
Miss klingle stated that he drove to the Boston
store and Miss Klingle went in, and after stay
carriage was driven to 18th street. She got out
of the carriage and told the servant that she in
tended to remain in the city all night for the
purpose of going to the theater, and asked him
to take the note to her father. 1t seems that
while in the store Miss Klngle wrote the note
given above. The references in it to Baltimore
and the Hamilton are believed by her father
now to be mere devices to throw any one in pur-
suit off the track. He is inclined to think, after
an investigation last night with the aid of the
police, that they may not have left the city
at all.
1t is not said that Mr. Klingle feels harshly
towards the young man. but some one who saw
him last night said that he did not appear to be
mad, only he looked like a man who had some
business TO attend to and was not going to be
diverted.
