STILL IN MYSTERY.
Nobody Knows What Has Become Of
Alexander B. Syme.
The More Plausible Theory is That he
Was Robbed and Then Thrown
Into the River.

There have been no new developments
to throw any light on the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Alexander
B. Syne, as related in the RECoRD-UN-
ION yesterday morning. His parents and
friends are utterly at loss to account for
his disappearance, except on the theory
that the missing young man was robbed
on the Yolo bridge and thrown into the
river.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that on Saturday night, short time be-
fore he was last seen in the vicinity Of the
bridge, he was seen to display considera-
BILE money in a saloon in this city fire.
quented by desperate characters.
Syme's mother thinks he had about $50
in money on his person, besides a vaiua-
bic gold watch and diamond pin worth
some $40.
Early on Saturday night Syme escorted
over to this city Miss Louise Leim berger
OF Washington, to whom he is said to
have been engaged to be married, and on
leaving the young lady at her home he
promised to call about ~ O'Clock the next
morning to accompany her on II walk.
George Lauder reported yesterday that
as he was crossing the bridge about ?
O'Clock on Sunday morning he en-
countered a man lying Hat on the plank
ing. He attempted to light match to see
il he could identify him, but the wind
was too strong, and supposing it to be
some person overcome by drink, he con-
Lnued on his way.
The probability is that the person seen
by Lauder was Syme, and that after the
iormer had passed on Syme was thrown
OF the bridge by men who had robbed
ana beaten him into insensibility.
Yesterday the river was dragged in the
vicinity OF the bridge, but the body was
not recovered Vne water is now at a
very low stage, and there is not much
current III The channel. so that if the
missing mans body is in the river it
should be found not far from the bridge.
Syme was seen to drink i'll d saloon late
On saturday night, but it is said he was
not under the influence of liquor, and
that he had excellent control OF himself
in this respect. But it is possible he was
'dOped," which Is the usual method re-
sorted to by the habtueS Of tough
Joints" in order to get the better OF !
victim.
Syme's father believes the young man
has met with foul play, and places no inn
portance to the various other theories ad
vanoed as to his voluntarily leaving his
home, or taking his own life, there being
no apparent cause for his doing either.
The fact OF Syme having been seen
near the bridge at late hour that night
in company with an unknown man; that
they were engaged in heated contro-
versy, and that his coat and hat were
found there in the morning, bears out tile
theory that he was followed or accom-
panied to the bridge by thugs for the
purpose of robbing him, and that he made
such resistance that they had to beat him
into lnscnslbllity, subsequently throw
ing him into the river.

A Voice from the Interior.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Mr.. Jacobs of
the San Francisco Traffic Association
lets the cat out of the bag. Now the in
terror can readily understand the real
motives and purposes of the Traffic AS
sociation. To help San Francisco out of
her trouble the interior must be placed at
a disadvantage in the way of rates, and if
the railroad company does not respond
favorably to their demands the railroad
company must be cinched in some wav.
and it is hoped by them that the Iegis-
lature will accomplish that end.
Why reopen this Pandora box? Does the
railroad company owe anything to san
Francisco that it must pay it back now?

one Of great merit, and presents fasci-

thing, including no small proportion Of
originality. Mr.. Mobiles. in the character
OF Tom knowali, IN alI-round journal

sylvania. 1t is impossible for us to
give even faint idea of what is
going On 1T the Carnegie's steel and
iron works.
For days we have been reading
and hearing of the movements made
by the Carnegie company to crush
the workmen.
We published, last week, an ar
ticle giving the details of those ar
rangements, and it is unnecessary
to further describe them.
The Coming Climax" has come,
evidently.
According to previous arrange
ments, the Carnegie works were
closed, and, anticipating trouble,
an effort was made to get Pinkerton
thugs inside of the fortified works.
The Pinkertons and deputy sheriffs
were quietly, but firmly, put upon
boats and sent back to Pittsburgh.
The workmen said the sending of
deputies to protect the company's
property was needless, as no harm
to property was intended. They
offered to place men on guard, un-
der bond of $40, 900 each, to protect
the works, but their offer was ig-
nored.
The Carnegies evidently meant to
"bull it through" with the assist
ance of their hired band of thugs
and cut-throats.
The Pinkertons were rendezvoused
five or six miles below Pittsburgh,
on the Ohio river, at which place
two model barges had been prepared
for them. The boats were prepared
for siege.
1t was the intention that the men
should reach the works about 3 IN.
Oh Wednesday, but the guards
which were on duty along the river
got word of the threatened invasion
of the hated Pinkerton men and pre-
pared to receive them. The barges
were towed up the river by tow
boat, but long before the Pinkerton
men reached Homestead, thousands
of strikers had gathered on the
banks of the river, ready to give
them a warm welcome. When the
boats attempted to land, the work.
men broke through the fence sur
rounding the mill, and, intrenching
themselves behind piled up steel
billets, prepared to resist the land.

By A o'clock in the morning an

all armed with Winchesters, but at
