Exhaustive Search For a
Young Man Fails.
WENT OUT TO SEEK WORK
Friends Fear he Has Met with Foul Play.
Mine Breaches and other Places Have
Been Carefully Inspected without Sue
eess-DescriptIon of the Man.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Joseph Abrchincky, a Polish
young man of town, eighteen years of
age, has caused considerable excitement
among his relatives and countrymen He
was strictly temperate, had a good repu.
tation and was very popular among his
people, and for that reason more than
ordinary interest is aroused in the case.
Abrchincky boarded with his brother
in-law, Joseph Falsky. Although the
young man was out of work, he at no
time gave evidence of dependency He
had good home and seemed to enjoy it.
Last Wednesday morning he was in usual
good spirits and left the house saving he
was going to look for work if successful
he would not return until after quitting
time, but If unsuccessful would be home
Wlggans that day. He was pleasant and
said he was seeking work, That was the
last seen of the young man, so far as the
relatives have been able to learn.
Taking all the circumstances Of the
case into consideration the friends CON
cluded that young Abrchincky must
either have met with some accident, or
foul play, but after three days search of
all the mine breaches and every CON
ceiyable place of hiding between this town
and Wiggans no clue has been obtained.
Careful inquiry has been made in all the
patches from Mahanoy City to Mahanoy
Plane with the same result. The rela-
tiyes will not entertain the thought that
the missing man would go very far to
seek work without notifying them and
say he did not have money.
Abrchincky is described as being over
six feet in heighth, broad shouldered, not
very tieshy, light complexion, light haiI
and blue eyes. His brother in-law stated
TO day that the house of every friend in
the neigh boring towns where the young
man would be likely to go had been
visited and no information could by
cleaned
