908 Broadway, July 8.
Mrs. Daniels of 5S8 Thirty-third street
is missing and her numerous friends and
neignbors are as anxious to hear of the
young wife as she herself was to hear of
her husband, who suddenly disappeared
over a month ago. 1t is feared that she
has been overcome by her grief and has
made away with herself.
When Mr.. Daniels disappeared his wife
was destitute and it was feared by her
friends that her reason would give way.
She paced to and fro in their beautifully
furnished home, and when week succeeded
week and nothing was heard of her hus-
band she con6ded to friend that she
feared she would never see Mr.. Daniels
again.
The Daniels moved to their home about
nine months ago. He always had money,
which he spent lavishly, and it was stated
that he was mining man. He and his
wife made but few friends. She was a
very handsome woman and the young
couple attracted general attention.
About month ago Daniels left home
suddenly and told his wife he was going
to Liverpool. Eng, for the benefit of his
health. He left home and has not since
been heard from. kilograms have brought
no news, and now his wife has dropped
completely out of sight.
For several days before disappearing
Mrs. Daniels was bordering an Mysteries,
and was cared for by neighbors.
"When he first spoke of going off, said
Mrs. Daniels, "I intended to go with him,
but he was IN toe much haste to allow OF
my prepari ng for such a journey. When
he left me l had but so cents in my purse,
and he was to send me money in couple
of days. He was to have written to me
| from various places, but I have not re-
| ceived any money or any letter. He used
TO deal in stocks, and was always well sup
piled with money, and l never knew what
| it was to be short. Our married life has
always been happy and pleasant, and 1
fear that my husband must have been
taken sick or met with some accident He
was very jolly when he left, and / expected
| to receive letters from him all along the
route of his Journey. The steamer on
which he was to have crossed the Atlantic
has arrived at Liverpool and he was not q
passenger"
| II is about two weeks since Mrs. Dan
iels spoke as above to CALL reporter and
the continued strain told heavily upon her.
'For few days before leaving" said an
intimate friend to-day, "Mrs. Daniels
feared she had been deserted and she be-
came very despondent. She cried most of
the time and frequently said that she had
no desire to live without her husband,
who had always been kind to her. fear
that her grief has turned her reason and
that the poor creature has done something
rash. She was of proud, impetuous ma
| ture and it was heartbreaklng to her to
have to depend on the charity of her
neighbors for her daily bread. No one
seemed to know where they came from or
to know anything about their relatives.
He seemed to be perfect gentleman and
they were devoted couple. She was
quite young and of too lively disposition
! to bear up long under deep sorrow. fear
she has done something desperate"
