His Friend, Dr. Boyle, Cannot
 Explain the Mystery.
HE AwoKE TO FIND RIM VANISHED.


 The Missing New York Insurance Manager
 Has Not Been Seen Since He Left the
 Boat at Fall River-His Accounts Were
 An Right.
 NEW YORK, March s.-The disappear. | nnce of John Owen Bache, the New York manager of the Union Central Life Insur- ance company, who left this city a week ago yesterday Ostensibly on a business triu in company with Dr. Henry T. Boyle, is | stllt as much n mystery as ever, no trace Of him having been found since he boarded O train for Boston at Fall River
 The two took the Fall River boat fer Boston, but when Dr. Boyle awoke on the boats arrival at Fall River he was alone. ms companion having gone ashore carly, and, according to the boat hands, taken the first train for Boston. Dr. Boyle was In about the same condition as he has been for several days past and is unable to givo very clear account of what happen cd after the boat left New York. He still sticks to the story about his be- Ing beaten by three men in Boston, and l as evidence displays a badly bruised face and cut on the back of the head. That both he and Bache had been drink ing heavily on the boat is borne out by the captain and also by the appearance that the doctor presented when Boston was reached.
 Did the Men Quarrel? One theory advanced Is that the two men became involved in q quarrel, with tho result that the doctor received pretty rough usage at the hands of Bache. and the latter, becoming frightened over the possible consequences left the Plymouth at the first opportunity that presented it. self Whether or not the doctor looked as 1T no had been engaged in a fight both the captain and the colored porter of the Ply mouth refused to state when seen just be- fore tho boat sailed, but they both admit ted that the two men had been drinking heavily on board.
 Charley Hyncs the oolored porter on the boat, was particularly noncommuni- cative saying, II ain't going to say noth- ing that will 'criminate nobody" He knew Bache very we'll by sight and had always waited on him when he travelled up and down to Boston, which he did ire quently. He carried Bache's valise from the boat to the train at Fall River and saw 1t leave the depot for Boston. Since that time nothing has been heard of Bache.
 The captain of tho Plymouth stated that no received telegram from Bache on the day the boat was to sail requesting him to reserve stateroom O, which he did n llse and overcoat, following later with Dr. Boyle
 President John NJ. Pattison of tho Un- ion Life Insurance company is still unable to throw any light on the disappearance. He said yesterday that he did not believe that Bache had run away, but thought that he was victim of foul play. The company had tho utmost confidence in him, and ho had been connected with it for about 20 years.
 His accounts had been carefully gone over and found to be perfectly correct, with the exception of the last report which was unfinished. This amounts to something less than $3, 900, but that did not worry them, as they were indebted to Bache for at least that sum as premiums on renewed policies. Regarding the notes held by the Western National bank, aVgre- gating &, President Pattison said that such an insignificant sum womb mt cause Bache to run away. for had he want ed 1t he could have got that sum. and morc. too. from the company by simply asking for it.
 Trying to Trace Bache.
 Whom asked what steps they wcro talk ing to locate Bache and if they had placed the matter in the hands of the police, Mir. Pattison roplied that they were trying to traco him. but just how he declined to say Under no consideration did they de siro him to be arrested, as there was really no cause to take any such action. As far as the notes held by the hank were con oerncd, Mir. Pattison said that Bache would undoubtedly settle that matter all right when ho was heard from.
 It is moro than likely that Bache had intended taking up the notes on tho day he departed for Boston and then suing for the amounts afterward. Sometime before he spoke to his counsel, Lawyer Robert J. hairot about some notes that had not boon met and said that ho would have to sue for them. About noon on the Thursday that Bache left the city Lawyer Haire met him standing in front of the ooInpany's office, Twenty third street and Madison avenue He spoke to him about the notes, but bache said that he was just going out of | town on business. At the samc time he l pulled a big roll of bills of large denomi- nations and checks out of his trousers pock- | cts
 In going through tho missing mans l papers yesterday there was nothing found | except what referred to purely personal | matters.
 A peculiar thing in connection with the | disappearance of Bacho is the fact that a well dressed, handsoRe young woman |

 It was aseertained at Bache's residence, | 66 West Forty sixth street., that his house. | keeper went away on Wednesday, saying | thai she was going out of town. but where | she declined to tell Whether or not she | is the woman who called on the Safe De- | posit company is not known.
 Bache's wifo keeps a boarding house at ! the corner of One Hundred and Twenty | fifth street and Madison avenue and has not been living with her husband for sev- eral years past Ho has supported her lib. | orally since that time
 About three weeks ago Mrs. Bleecker, the mother of Mrs. Bache, died, and Bache | attended the funeral.
 It was generally thought at that time that a reconciliation would be effected be- tween husband and wife. but the latter's his connection with another ! woman precluded the possibility of such @ stnp
