HE DISAPPEARED

Almost on the Eve of the Wedding.
 ToRR1NGToN, May 5.-John Evans, a teamster, and Miss Kate Sullivan, an es- timable young lady, were engaged to be married, April 29 being the day set. Dur ing the winter Evans was badly injured while carting lumber, and it was at first thought that he would die. His recovery was rapid, however, and he began to make preparations for his marriage. The banns were published in the usual manner, and early in March Evans hired house, pay ing months rent in advance. About April 21 he ordered complete outfit of furniture, Saturday morning, April 25, said he was going to help Miss Sullivan arrange the furniture. The intended bride was on hand at noon, but Evans did not appear nor has he been seen since. He was last seen walking on the railroad track, and it is surmised that he may have fallen into the river and drowned. Evans | was known as 8 sober, industrious and honest young man, and his fancee, who is held in high esteem by all her acquain
 tances, is heart-broken over the sad affair

The New Haven Team Defeats
 Lebanon. il5.a rs-- 5s->.5
 The temperature at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon was some were near the freezing point, or at least it seemed so to both spectators and play CTS. In consequence of the extreme cold only about 300 were present at the grounds, but those that were there re- mained until the end of the game. The visitors put Taylor in to pitch the first part of the game but he was too easy a mark for the batsmen of the local team and he was retired in the third inning, Fitzgerald going into the box and Tate in to catch, the remainder of the nine being shifted all around. The game, while devoid of any specially interesting features, was good exhibition of the national game and as such pleased the small num- Der of spectators present. Clarkson par ticularly distinguished himself by his work in the box and with the stick, plac- ing two singles and three bagger to his credit out of four times at bat.
 The Providence team will play on the local grounds this afternoon.

The Opening Firm-The Selling Of London Specialttes Precipitates a Selling Movement by Local Opera tors.
 NEW YORK, May 5.
 Railroad bonds were dull, the sales of all is being only $9s5, 900, while the tone was gen. erally steady. The final changes are insignificant and the business was widely distributed the market developing no feature of interest.
 Stocks opened firm but quiet, and while a few specialties like Chicago Gas scored mater ial gains, the general market failed to advance more than small fractions beyond the level of first prices London sold it's specialties and this precipitated a selling movement by local opera tors, which soon wiped out the early gains The afternoon, however, brought with 1t the an- nouneement of a further engagement of $1, ,50o,- 900 gold for shipment abroad and the selling be-. came general, for both sides of the account. The large gold shipments arc now being attributed to the manipulation of powerful bear party as 8 legitimate demand abroad cannot be accounted for. The result of the manipulations is the crea- tion Of large short interest in the market, with a considerable borrowing demand for all the ac- tive stocks in the loan crowd. The selling was vigorous while the afternoon lasted and material losses were suffered in all the leading shares, though the final losses for the day are generally confined to fractional amounts.
 Closing prices reported over the private wire of BUNNELL & SCRANTON, Bankers and Brokers;
