HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.
Another day has gone and Charles
Cameron is still missing.
His mother, Mrs. Jane Cameron, was
in Salem yesterday, from which place
she went to Roanoke and visited the
livery stable where her son traded his
mule for a horse, but she returned to
Salem without hearing anything of her
son.. She is almost crazed from grief,
and yesterday telegraphed for her son,
John Cameron, who lives in Concord,
West Virginia.
Fuller particulars of this mysterious
disappearance reached Salon yester-
day. 1t was last Thursday, a week ago
to-day, that Cameron disappeared.
On that day he mounted his mule and
went to Roanoke. having, his mother
says, only n dollar in his pocket. He
was accompanied by his uncle, Morgan
Smith, and James Ferrow.
Cameron got drunk in Roanoke, and
traded the mule he rode, which be-
1onged to his mother, to some person
whose name cannot be ascertained, at
one of the Roanoke livery stables.
Mrs. Cameron said yesterday thai her
o got into a fight with the man with
whom he traded, and tore tho shirt off
him.
Cameron became manageable be-
fore leaving Roanoke from the effects of
liquor. AT Lawson's bar room, on the
corner of Commerce street and Railroad
avenue, Morgan and Ferrow put him
upon the horse he snapped for n at
tempted to make him go home, but it
seems that after he had gone a little
distance he turned back towards Roa-
noke
No one can be found in Roanoke who
saw him after he left. He has not been
seen by anyone. The horse returned to
the stable where the swap was effected,
saddloless and bridleless.
Cameron was a young man, only about
90 or % years of age, and was very wild
and dissipated. All Mason's Cove,
where he lived, have been searching for
him, but without success. Mason's
Cove is eleven and a half miles from
Roanoke, and six miles from Salem.
Did the man whom Cameron fought
with in Roanoke waylay Cameron to be
revenged upon him? Who knows?

THE NYIZARD,s Return.
It Causes Something of a Sensation in Wall
Street.

II causes Something OF q Sensation In Wall
Street.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April 24-Jay Gould is back
at his desk and Wall street is watching him
with renewed interest after his extended
tour of railroad inspection. He returned
last night from his 1000 mile trip over his
Western roads. When he came down to his
Office this morning he presented such an
appearance Of increased physical Yigor that
all who saw him felt sure that he is in con-
dition to undertake another of the NAM
moth operations that have made him the
financial power that he is. By some of the
operators in Wall street Gould'S return
from the West has been expected with
some little apprehension with the personal
knowledge Of the situation that he has &C
CURED. Stock spectators on the streets
are preparing for any strange and unex-
pected fuctuation that may occur. Now
that MIR. Gould is at his Office he is re-
garded as even more of an enigma than
when the advisory committee of the West
ern traffic association was wondering if he
would have the assurance to absent himself
from the meeting which was called for
last week in Chicago. Gould said the chief
purpose Of his Western visit was tour of
the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific sys-
tens, the latter of which, especially, he
wanted 10 become more familiar with since
his acquisition of its control He reported
a considerable growth of railroad properties
in Texas. and he spent some time looking at
terminals in St. Louis. About the Western
traffic association meeting in Chicago which
Mr.. Gould was charged with preventing by
staying away, he thought that he had eX-
planned himself sufficiently. He did not
think at the time that there would be n
quorum present. But he is still confident
the Western traffic association will accom-
plish good results, although it viii take
little time. Gould said that he would at
tend the advisory board meeting OF May e.
he did not take any stock in the reports
that the Vanderbilts were going to parallel
the Union Pacific into Ogden, but he added
sit is hard To tell what man like Depew is
going to dos He would not trouble him
self about the matter vet awhile
