DISAPPEARANCE OF CAPT. SlMPKiN.
HIS Family and Friends Anxious Regard.
ing His Safety and Whereabouts.

Great concern is felt by the family and
friends of Captain William Simpkin re-
rarding his safety and whereabouts.
He disappeared Monday and has not
been heard from since. He was last seen
that morning about 10 o'clock at the post
Office. when he is reported TO have remark
ed that he was going to Manchester. 1t Is
said that he was suffering from great men,
raj depression. but he gave no intimation
to any one that he intended taking a trip
and such a course is so inconsistent with
his Character and habits that his family
naturally feel that they have great cause
for anxiety. 1t is known that Captain
Simpkin was greatly embarrassed IN bis
personal business matters and that some
Ss 900 of his obligations matured on the
ith instant-the day he disappeared.
MANY theories, all speculative, have
been advanced to account for his absence.
That of suicide is antsgonized by the fact
that he borrowed 800 the morning he left.
Captain Simpkin was at one time con-
necred with the Richmond Locomotive
Works. but subsequently with Mr.; 4. 4.
HiIlyer formed the tirm OF Simpkin
Hillyer, consulting and constructing me-
chanical engineers. He also held the posi-,
tion of vice president and general agent OF
the Richmond lee Machine Company.
