Return of john Schafer.

As unexpected as he went was the
homecoming Of John Schafer of Pitts
ton avenue, whose absence for a few
days caused his friends no end Of alarm.
He showed up yesterday evening and
said he had been to Brooklyn visiting
his sister. His actions savored little
of those of man who had been indulg-
ing freely in alcoholic stimulants, and
it is believed that his absence was re-
sponsible to his desire for jamboree.
Owing to the large amount Of money
which he was known to have with him,
his friends were greatly worried.
