A MISSING BROKER
His Whereabouts Unknown
for Over a Week.
H c. TITUS DISAPPEARANCE.
It is Rumored that He Is Involved fol
About a Quarter of Million.

Ho Was Never Plunger, But It Is Ne
lieved that He Was Heavily on the
Short side of the Markst-Said that He
Is in Some Way Connected with
Young Fields Firm Various Other
Rumors on wall Street
NEW YORK, Dec 30. Henry E. Titus
of the stock brokerage firm of II. e.
Titus & Co., is missing. For the past
week his whereabouts, it is claimed,
have been unknown TO either his famil y
or his business come ctions. Specula-
tion rs TO the reasons for his absence on
the street are rife and rumor has
gained currency that he has become in
yolved for about quarter of a million.
He has never been what would be
termed a plunger in stocks, but when
the report of his financial difficulties
was talked about many were OF the
opinion that he had been dealing on
the short side of the market with u
particular leaning to the Grangers.
Owing to his disappearance it was
impossible to positively confirm the re-
port of his dealings as the other mem
bers Of the firm could not be seen.
Mr.. Titus, who is 40 years old, was
admitted to the floor of the Stock Ex-
change October 80 1884, and since that
period conducted to large extent a
commission trade
Rumor also had it that Mr. Titus was
in some way involved in the Field,
Lindley & Co. difficulties, and because
of the present tangled condition Of
Fields business was unable to clear
himself to Ghe satisfaction of his GUS
toners.
a report that he was also involved in
Deacon Whites troubles gained cur
rency, but could not be substantiated
Titus was a resident of Gl en- Cove, l..
l for years, where he lived in mag
nificent home surrounded by extensive
grounds lie is married and the father
of family. He was regular attend
ant at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and
his absence on Sunday last was noted,
as he had always manifested much in
terest in church affairs
To queries as to his whereabouts by
members of the congregation, the re
ply was that he was indisposed for the
day.
1t was subsequently learned that HI
was not at home on Christmas day, and
Inquiries have since developed the fact
that he has not been in Glen Cove since
Monday a week ago. Mrs. Titus is said
to be prostrated over her husband
troubles and refuses to see any visitors.
None of the prominent operators in
the street could confirm any of the ru
mors as to Titus liabilities. 1t is be
lieved, however, that he can gain sufi
cient backing to at least temporaril!
i'd him over his present difficulties a
soon as he feels disposed to make know
| his losses and his whereabouts.

The Mozart Musicale.

Summer concerts are not always success
full, but the Mozart musicale last night
was an exception to the rule. 1t was de-
lightful affair-the programme was attrac-
tive and agreeably rendered, and the audi
ence was large for n summer night.
The feature OF the concert was the sing
Ing of Mr. W. II. Hamilton, the baritone
of the Annandale- Hamilton Opera Com
pany, who sang in place of the gentleman
who had been announced. Mr.. Hamilton's
superb voice completely charmed the audi
ence. who demanded an encore after each
of his numbers.
MIR. Mayland's flute solos were marked
by an extreme dclicacy of tone, and what
he lacked in power was atoned for by tune
fulness.
Mile Edica's singing was the weak point
of the programme. the small register OF
her voice preventing her from doing JUS
tice even to the one ballad she sang. Her
tones are passably good in the middle reg.
ister. but her upper tones are weak and
uncertain.
