STrAyGE DIsAPPEARANCE OF A FAMILY
F. KING, NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT. AND
HIS TWO HALFsIsTERs MISSING

Edward King who has been tho Paris correspondent
OF The New-York Evening POST and Tho Boston
Journal has myscriousIy disappeared. singular
feature OF the case Is that his two han'sis
tiers are also missing. At the Office Of Tho Evening
Post, nothing is known Of Mr. King except that MS
letters ceased coming about two months ago, without
any apparent reason any explanation being re-
cclved until last week when letter came from PARIS
signed by a person claiming to be Mr. Kings former
secretary and saying that tho correspondent had left
Paris.
In New-York, Boston and Philadelphia, Mr. King is
we'll known as Of literary ability, chiefly through
his two novels Tho Golden splkc,' and Tho Gentle
Savage" and his tale In verse, The venetian Lover"
Mr. King first attracted public attention by series OF
articles I'm "The Century, magazine, on bis travels
through Brazil and South America about eight years
ago. Since then he has published volume OF poems
and one OF collected letters Europe in Storm and
Calm" He also tried his hand at Invention and man
ufacturing, and obtained patent for waterproof
and moth prcservatvc paper which did not meet with
general salc owing the unpleasant 0dor attached 70
It. lie consequently lost considerable money on the
experiment Soon after that Mr. Kings two young
half sisters the Misses Fisher. went TO Paris to keep
pearcd None of them have been heard Of for over
seven weeks.
4 striking circumstance In connection with tho
case Is tho fact that Mr. Kings father clergyman IN
n small New En- gland town. also venlshed mystcrously
sumo time ago, and has not been heard Of since.

was no feature OF the resolution requiring the expen

resolution specified that the maps were not TO cost
