JOHN 5. H1NmAN Returns.

Relieved by His Fumily Not to Have
Been In His Right Mind-The FAINT.
Iy Telegraphed to That He Had Not
Committed Suicide-His Western
Trip.
8 The family of John s. Hinman werevery
happy yesterday morning when he return
ed to his comfortable home on Bradley
street after being mysterio absent since
Sunday night. The family were not sur
prised at Mr.. Humans return as they had
previously received information that he
had not committed suicide and they knew
something of his whereabouts. When the
members of the family received this knowl-
edge they were very happy and were still
more so when Mr.. Human entered his
house yesterday morning. Mrs. Hinman
gave the information last evening that her
husband had returned, but she stated che
is sick and in no condition to see anyone. :"
She then stated that her husbands absence
would be explained in time, but she could
not say when an explanation could be
given. Mr.. Hinman has not been in his
right mind she continued. HIS temporary
alteration of mind has been caused solely
by business trouble. Mrs. Human ap-
peared as if she fully understood her hus-
bands absence and was well satisfied over
the fact that his escapade had not turned
out more seriously. She stated that the
matter was a family affair and she declined
to make the affair public at present.
It was learned from good authority last
evening that Mr.. Hinman left here on the
limited train Sunday evening, as was indis
Gated as probable in the COURIER, which
train leaves here for New York at sos,
and that he went direct to Pittsburg, Pa,
and from there to Allegheny City and Wis
tied large mandatory of coffin trim
mings located there.
While there he sent telegram to VIII
liam T. Pickett, foreman at Sargent & Co.,
asking him if his contract still held good
with that concern, and signed himself
sJohn Marx" He also sent a duplicate of
this telegram to his wife's nephew, Mr..
Edward Clifford, which telegram was turned
over to his friends, and the police authori-
ties were communicated with at Pittsburg,
requesting them to detain him as he was
undoubtedly insane. Mr.. Albert Bradley,
who formerly run restaurant on State
family, was also dispatched to that city to
bring Mr.. Human home.
= Before the police there could get trace of
Mr.. Human he had started on his return
for this city, where he arrived as stated
above.
It is stated that the letter Mr.. Human
wrote his wife was written in Sargent's
shop and was shown by the writer to a
friend who was also employed there. This
friend is quoted as saying he took no stock
in the letter, as he did not think the man
had courage enough to commit so rash a
deed.
Mr.. Human feeling intensely worried
over business troubles and the loss Of his
position as a contractor involved in his
departure, and the changes being made at
the factory had most probably gone to see
what chance of lucrative employment he
could find in the west.
The statement that Mr.. Hinman drew
from Sargent & Co. considerable money
which he took with him is positively de-
MED by good authority. This envelope
was left at home sealed. When the seal
was broken the money was found to be in
tact. In addition to this money Mr.. Hin
man left his watch and considerable small
change at home when he departed.
Mr.. Human has advanced high in free
masonry, and is knight of the mystic
shrine. He is also colonel of the Patri-
arch Militant and has filed high Offices in
other societies.
