FATHER AND son MISSING.
Have BuncO-Steerers Made Away
with These Men?

hbiAAsl
B. Frederick Dilley, editor OF the
Vuoming valley Times, OF Kingston,
Pa. has been missing from his home at
that place since March 29th, and general
alarm was sent ont from police head
quarters last evening asking the police
to look for him IN every hotel and
lodging house in the city. Mr.. Dllleys
friends are apprehensiye OF some awful
fate having having overtsken him. This
fear has been strengthened within the
past few days by reports given currency
in Wilkesbarre, Pa. that Mr.. Dilley had
been seen in this city in the company
of two noted bunco.steerers, who, 1t IS
claimed, robbed and perhaps murdered
him.
MIR. Dilley, who is only twenty-five
years of age, has wife and two
children residing in Kingston. HIS wife
was Minnie Holbrook. daughter of Rev.
Albert Holbrook, Methodist preacher.
Dilley's father is Butler Dilley, well
known in connection with the iron and
coal interests OF Pennsylvania, who re-
sides at Wilkesbarre. Young Dilley has
been prominently identified with local
politics, having been a candidate for
county auditor at the last election, and
was an officer in the Association OF
Patriotic Sons OF America. He left his
home en- the morning OF Thursday week
ago. taking the 2:l0 A. NJ. train for
this city. where he arrived at 1850 o'clock
the same morning. He said he would
return in day or two. With that in
tention he took with him only grip
sack. His visit TO this city was for the
purpose OF purchasing a new printing
press from the Campbell Press Company,
at No. 100 William street. Accompany
ing him WAS young man named Ed
ward Brandow, also OF Kingston. Both
left the train together and crossed the
ferry at Cortlandt street. At the corner
OF Church street they separated, Dilley
declaring his intention of going direct to
the warerooms of the press-manufactu-
ring company, but he never reached that
place. =,
It is known by bis friends that the
editor had nearly a thousand dollars on
his person, besides some checks, with
which he intended making payment on
the new press. II had always been the
custom OF Mr. Dilley. when away from
home, to write daily to his wife, apprising
her of his whereabouts and future IN
tentions. On this occasion, however, he
failed 10 write even once, although he
has now been gone over week, and MS
wife is very much perturbed: After
waiting in vain for several days for news
from the missing man, and telegraphing
TO the Campbell Press Company. Dlieys
father came to this city "Wednesday
morning.

CRUSH IN PARK row.
Fears for Few Minutes that There
wonId be - Repetition OF the Bresh-
lyn-Brfdge Disaster - Fortunately
No Lives Lost.

For n short time to-day there were those among
tho pedestrians On Park row. that narrow ana
busy thoroughfare In business hours, that feared
there would pe another bridge disaster, and that
many persons would be crushed or trampled 10
death. IL was Just after 10 O'Clock, when every
one was hurrylDg along 70 business, that several
men stopped suddenly in the street opposite No.
%. and rushing forward with a loud cry attempt
ed to crowd into the doorway OF the ground moor.
In less than moment tho whole Sidewalk was
blocked, and the swearing. pushing mop mat
had collected was elbowing aud struggling even
as far out as the car tracks, at imminent risk OF
their lives, from wagons. trucks, ana cars ror
some moments the excitement was terrific, ana
tho entire street was blocked, the cars stopped
and blocked, and getting through the MOB or oy
Il was utterly impossible.
IL was fully half an hour before tho crowd be
gan 20 thin and the reporter OF inc Dispdteh was
able 20 gain access To ~ and learn tho cause OF
the tremendous excitement he ihen learned
what the trouble was. IL seems that Mr. Stamps,
who Is the proprietor Of the pharmacy on the
ground floor, had placed In his window i've gross
OF Scotch Oats Essence and some magnificent IL
thographs Illustrating Nerve and Brain Diseases,
for which this remedy Is an acknowledged spe-
cific, The eagerness OF many people TO purchase
or 10 secure books describing this great remedy
was the actual cause OF the trouble: IL was iully
an hour before tho police succeeded In dispensing
the crowd, and two special policemen were de-
tailed by Captain Clinchy 10 maintain order
amongst the throng that kept constantly passing
In with dollar and coming out with Dottle OF
the greatest Nerve Tonic and Brain Nigor

deserved popularity OF this great remedy, taken
direct from nature by its marvellous results on

elder Mr.. Dilley told his family that he
would put up at the National Hotel, on
Cortlandt street, but Mr.. Dilley has APP
psfently not been in this city very re-
Gently, or he would have been aware that
the National Hotel was torn down some
years ago and that the Coal and Iron
Exchange building stands on its former
site. On arriving here Wednesday Mr..
Dilley went at once to police headquar-
ters and had the records searched for his
son, but without finding clue, and then
he disappeared and has not been seen
since. He, too, appears to have dropped
out of sight, for neither his family nor
his friends can find any trace OF him, nor
have they heard word from him. not
withstanding he promised to telegraph
or write AZ soon as he arrived here.
As a result OF the dual disappearance
OF both father and son there came to po-
lice headquarters last evening j. Ben
nett Smith, manager OF the Hazard
Manufacturing Company OF Wilkesbarre,
who is an old and warm friend OF the
Dilleys, and made anxious inquiries for
the missing men. He stated that the
families of the men are greatly distressed,
and that no pains or expense shall be
spared in finding some trace OF father
and son. The rumor that reached
Wilkesbarre regarding bunco-operators
in conjunction with young Dilley has
caused considerable excitement among
the citizens of both Wilkesbarre and
Kingston, and searching expedition Is
talked of.
Mr.. Smith, who is temporarily stop
ping at the Metropolitan Hotel, has
searched every place that suggested
itself to him, but he has thus far failed
to find trace of either Editor Dilley or
his father. Editor Dilley is a stoutly-
built man, weighing about two hundred
pounds. He is five feet ten inches in
height, has square shoulders, light CON-
plezion, bair and moustache. and brown
ewes. He wore when last seen q gray
overcoat and Derby hat Mr.. Smith
said that he would personally spend
thousands OF dollars in the search for the

Wasterson on Haistead.
April Forum.

II is worse than q waste Of words to
handy them with a critic so blind to his
own commission of the sins he ascribes
to others as Mr.. Halstead. II is he, and
not those he assails so savagely. who IS
nothing ii not sectional His papers in
the Forum, of which notice is here
taken, are grotesquely so, although
characteristic of all his utterances in
this line Of political vaticination. But
as german thereto l will in closing
venture upon the prediction that the
time is coming when Mr.. Halstead will
be found fighting as doughtily for the
Acknowledgement OF the blacks as he IS
now fighting for what he calls I" a fair
vote" If the Republican party is beaten
in the next national election it is likely
to 90 to pieces and be reformed on the
lines of protection and prohibition. This
will as the saying goes, "split the South
wide open." The blacks will be arrayed
to a man against prohibition. The
whites will be divided by protection.
Then we shall see such aparty struggle for
possession of the southern States as was
never known before and Mr.. Halstead,
being a good Republican. will find the
negro vote as little to his liking as its
suppression now is, and in short, and IN
conclusion. he is not the man | take him
TO be il he does not urge the Republican
party TO apply to the blacks the identical
policy OF repression he now urges 1t to
apply to the whites OF the South.
