DISAPPEARED.
CHIEF CLERK GBRKgN AT THE B. o.
MACHINE SHOPS OPPICR,
Leaves His Employment and Family For No One
Knows Whers-Fears That be has
Committed Suicide.

The ms sterious disappearance OF well
known South Side man has come to lighf,
and the circumstances have created great
deal of surmise and conjecture.
Mr.. Joseph Gerken was, until Saturday
last the chief clerk in tie office Of the b. &
O. machine shops, but Friday was the last
dsv he WAS seen there. AS be failed to
show up at the office on Saturday, inqulr-
les were made about MIN, and 1t was
learned thst an event had occurred at his
house the nigh. before that was sufficient
excuse for his absence, aud nothing more
was thought of il, until Saturday night.
Then, ne lie had fa,leG 20 appear at the
Office himself and explain the cause OF nis
absence, the officials began TO think strange
oft. Sunday passed, and still he did not
make his appearance, end inquiry brought
TO light the feet that Gersen bad been
drinking for several DAYS.
On Monday he left his home in the
Eighth ward and has not been seen since
by either his " life or mis- employers. 1t wss
thought each day he would make his APP
pearance, but be is still absent and none Of
his friends are able 10 tell anything OF
his whereabouts.
Naturally, all interested are very much
concerned as to what has become OF Gerken
and his wife, who is confined to bed, Is
retarded in her recovery, owing to the
worry her husbands strange disappearance
mas caused her.
Gerken has besn in the employ of the
B. & o. for the past eight or ten ears,

ton he advanced to chief clerk, which 20
sition he very capably ard efficiently fill

desired to save money toward purchasing
homes for themselves, this icing feature
Of the 3. & O.'s savings Institution to as
sist their employees in stcurlDg property.
This led to the report ,hat the cause OF his
disappearance was embezzlemeut of thsse
funds, but this proves 10 be incorrect, for
an accountant has besn making a minute
examination of his books since Monday,
snd as far as the examination has progress
ed everything has been found ia good shape
and all moneys are accounted for 1t 10
feared by many of his friends that in
sudden ineane moment the young
man has made away with himself in some
manner, but it is sincerely hoped this is
rot the case, and tbst he will toon return.
Il ia known that hs has been drinking a
good deal lately, but his employers never
noticed anything of ths kind while he was
at work. He was slightly built man
about thirty years of age; wore small
dark mnstache, derby hat and sack

General Local Notes Picked Up About the In

Work on the linton bridge job IS
being pushed rapidly, and the progress
made during the past week is very notice
able. At tie west tunsel approach, back
of the TOP Mill, the men have drifte1
thirty or forty feet into the hill, carrying
forward hole niue or ten feet square, the
ton Of which is about the top of what the
completed tunnel will be, thus leaving
considerable mass of rock at the sides and
bottom which will have TO be cut away
later. Tire rock excavated is wheeled 10
the mouth of the diff in wheelbarfows
and dumped down upon the level ground
at the top of the attainment, whence 1t is
again moved TO this top Of the incline and
sent down into the cars waiting below.
At the mouth of Jonsthan's ravine the
tresil;ng for the dirt care, which are 20

a biz hole, designed for the portal OF the
east tunnel, has been cut IN the south
bank, but ground has not been broken on
the north side. The men stated yesterday
that work would soon be started there,
however.
AZ the shore pier of the bridge, the
masonry hes been carried up f ON the bot
tom OF the hole 20 within abont fifteen feet
If the surface of the ground.
At the east END Of the east tunnel, the
men are carrying in drift similar to that
near the Top mill, and an immense guam
THY of rock has been Drawn across the creek
trestle aud dumped eff at the south end
for the big fill 10 be made there. All the
tunnel work is through rock, a sort OF
cross between slate and stone, the men
working about fifteen fest below the coal
vein al the mill, and eight OF ten feet be-
low it around on the creek side.
Down near the b & o. tunnel there has
been Il great deal of PR gees made on the
road bed. and the same Is true Ia The vlcln-
