PHILADELPHIA MYSTERY.
A Wealthy Banker Disappears Suddenly
in Mysterious Way.

Joseph g. Ditman, president Of the Quaker
City national bank and one Of the best-known
citizens Of Philadelphia who is mysteriously
missing, was we'll known in the paper trade, for
many years prominent in financial circles, at
one time the democratic candidate for recorder
of deeds and frequenter Of the Paramount
Park drives.
Reputed to be worth at least $500 0O0 with a
wide acquaintance in all walks of life, Mr.. Dit
man went out to drive alone, and after having
talked with park guard near the falls bridge
in Paramount park the horse and wagon were
discovered on the west side Of the river by a
guard on the east side within ten minutes
without a driver. The latter whstled to notify
his west park comrade and the vehicle was
captured. That was the last heard of
Mr.. Ditman. The river has been dragged
Intellectually, the police have secured the city
and friends have done their best to find the
man and his disappearance remains a mystery.
All sorts of theories are advanced to account
for the affair. His brother-in-law, w. O..
Cline, wealthy Philadelphia, said yesterday
"Mr. Ditman was troubled with an affection Of
the heart, and while the horse was afraid of
nothing, he was a very fast goer and hard
puller. We have thought that the exertion Of
holding the beast in may have been too much
for him, and that he fell dead across the dash
board. In falling he might have pulled on the
reins and drawn the horse into the tow path
aud then he could easily have been jolted out
into the river"
