MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING
HARTLEY CAMPBELL'S REMAINS
 LOST IN TRANSIT.
All Trace Seems to be Lost-Pre-, parations for the Funeral

P1TTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-At the time of this writing the whereabout of Bartley CampbelFs body is wrapped in mystery There are two stories in connection with 1t, the first being that the body was brought from the asylum at Mddletown, where he died, to New York, by the Ac- tors Fund, and turned over by that or ganizatlon to the care of Undertaken Slevin of Spring street, New York, who was to arrange it for burial and then have it shipped to this city. The second is that the Actors Fund was to have charge of the remains until they reached here, and member ot the organization named Barnes was to accompany them.
 The family started from Jersey City SUD- posing the remains to be on the same train, but it was discovered that the body had not been shipped. The supposition was that it had not been possible to prepare it in time and that it would be shipped on the next train, the Pacific express, which ar rives in this city at 12:45 p. m. At that time representative of the family was at the depot waiting for the body, but it did not come. All the baggage and express cars were thoroughly examined and search of the cars that had been unloaded and backed up into the yards was also made, but all to no purpose. None of the express, baggage or railroad employees had any knowledge of it having been shipped. Messages were at once sent to New York making inquiry if it had been overlooked there by any mistake, but no answer was received
 The funeral will take place to-day Gin case the body arrives all right) at o'clock from St. Pauls Cathedral. It is the intcn- tion to take the remains to MT. Larkin's residence and from there they will be re- moved to the Cathedral In the LGOrning. The interment will be made ill St Mary's Cemetery. It was one of the last wishes expressed by Mr. Campbell, at the time of his mothers death and shortly before his own afflction had fallen upon him so heavily, that when he died the funeral service should be read over his remains by Father Devlln, of St. Shepherds Church, Hazelwood, who otficiated at his mothers funeral, and in accord with that request Father DeVln will assist at the service to- morrow.
 Mrs. Campbell is meantime at the resi- dence of Dr. Goshern, 9SO Pennsylvania avenue, and is suffering greatly from the suspense and anxiety. Various rumOrs are afoat regarding the delay and some of them are of a nature almost too startling for publication. AS 1t is now, if the should have been delayed through any unforeseen circumstances in tue East, 1t will not be pOSSlOle TOT IL to feaCn tnlS Clty Oe1Ofe night.
