The Missing Editor.

New YORK, January 29-Though the
present whereabouts of Mr. S. S. Conant,
managing editor of Harper's Weekly, are IN
known some of his movements since he left
Franklin Square last Friday have been
learned. On Monday he was seen by friends
i'll several stores near Fulton ferry and acted
in a manner showing mental alteration. He
was followed, but in South street the friend
who was observing his course was obliged to
return to his store for overcoat and before
he could bury back Conant had disappeared.
On Tuesday the Harpers received letter
written by Conant at Miller's Hotel in Hun
ter's Point telling them he would not again
be seen alive His son hurried to the place,
but Conant had left fifteen minutes before
the young man arrived and has not since
been seen by anyone who knew him. The
hotel people say Conant engaged room at 2
o'clock Tuesday morning and occupied it un-
til about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is al
so learned that the day before his disap-
pearance Conant conversed with friend on
the subject of insanity and of the different
modes of dying an easy death. On the even
ing of that day he wrote a note to his wife
about a proposed visit to Albany and added
postscript, 81 don't know what is the
matter with me. I feel SO queer. Have my
brain examined if anything happens to me-"
Conant's friends have no doubt that he is in
sane from self-imposed overwork and they
fear that he may kill himself.

Up A Town BY His Franks.
MIDDLEBoRo, Mass, Jan. 29.-The town
has been agog the whole week over the
pranks of Alvin Howes, respectable citizen
who has become crazed over religion. few
weeks ago he proclaimed his belief that he
could cure by faith, but was dissuaded from
doing so by friends of the patient upon whom
he attempted the trial Monday morning
Howes was seen driving toward Bridgewater
at breakneck speed. He passed one lady,
dofing his hat with grand flourish shouting
at the top of his voice ''IlI you later,,'
t'I1I see you later!'' rising to his feet he
did so and continuing down the hill pell
nell. He next appeared at the town house
at Middleboro village where he tore around
and swore at several of the staid and very
decorcus officials of the town who happened
to be gathered together in the building. In
the afternoon he entered the residence of S.
II. Sylvester and threatened to kill that gen
tleman. He was prevented from doing SO
by the timely arrival of neighbors who Sc
cured him. He was taken to the town Jail
and heavily ironed as by this time he had be-
come furious, alternately singing Moody and
Sankey hymns and shrieking and cursing in
a fearful manner. Howes has been taken to
the hospital at Taunton.
