But Hope to Hear of Him From Across the
Atlantic Ocean.
A TALK WITH HIS WIFE'S RELATIVES

Alexander B. Nevin, the ex-Cashier Of the
First National Bank of Allegheny, has
mvsteriously disappeared and his family
are greatly exercised over his present
whereabouts and the greater part of the
population of Sewickley are busy advanc-
ing theories of a more or less sensational
character regarding the case.
Mr.. Nevin has been in i'll health ever
since he retired from business, and he has
been spending the greater part of the last
wear in a fruitleSs search for health. Sew
eral weeks age he went to Denver with his
brother Hugh and his cousin Walter Neyin.
He remained in that city for some little
time and went from there to Dallas, Tex,
where he spent a fortnight with a relative.
He then proceeded to Galveston and there
met an Euslishman with whom he became
quite intimate. The Englishman accom-
panied the party by water to New York
City.
Lost Sight of in New York
In Gotham Mr. Nevin was introduced to
a brother-in-law of his Galveston acquaint-
ance, and after spending a few days in com
rany with his relatives at the Gill
scy House Mr.. Nevin suddenly dis
appeared. He left no word of any
kind and announced his intentions
of leaving the city to no one. 1t NAV be
that he has taken an ocean voyage and may
be heard OF in some continental city before
MANY DAYS elapse. This theory has been
accepted by certain members of the Nevin
family, although thorough search of the
register books at all of the steamship
Offices has been made, and neither
his name nor handwriting ap-
pears at any place Mr.. Nevin had
a large sum OF money in his possession
when he left for the West, as he expected
his trip to be an expensive one and is SUP
posed to have carried about s., 900 in cash
upon his person.
A close relativ.. of the Nevin family at
Sewickley last night, who desired his name
withheld, denied any suggestion OF family
trouble.
Gone in Search of Health.
"There is nothing whatever in this report
of Mr.. Nevin leaving on account of family
troubles" continued the gentleman. las
there are none His shome life is pleasant and
amicable and always has been. We think Mr..
Nevin has sailed for Europe TO benefit his
health and will be heard from within few
davs. He has been fearful OF following his
father to the grave, who died from the same
ailment a short time ago. Previous to go-
Jug West Mr.. Nevin visited some of the
health springs in West Virginia and seemed
TO derive some little benefit therefrom. He
may be en- route to Carlsbad or some
other European health resort. We
do not entertain any fears that
he has been foully dealt with and think
such surmises are ridiculous. The English
man with whom he was last seen is prob
ably his companion en- route to the Old
World. Mr.. Walter Nevin has returned
from New York and does not seem to be
greatly worried over the disappearance.
Thought 1t Very Strange.
A. B. Booth, a brother-in-law Of Mr..
Nevin, was seen at the Nevin homestead
and declared there was nothing at all to say
regarding Mr.. Nevin's disappearance.
When THE DISPATCH man told him of the
many rumors floating about the village of
Sewickley he replied that he had nothing
whatever to say.
"Do you thins your brother-in-law left
New York of his own volition 90
