HE HAS DISAPPEARED.
When He Went DOrrance Had a
Large Sum of Money.
HIS Employer and Friends Fear He Has
Met With Foul Play.

George p. Dorrance. q we'll known
horseman, who has for many years been
connected with the stable of Henry A.
Fuller, 40 TOBY street, has been missing
from his home, 90 Tobey street, since
last Thursday. MIR. Dorrance Is about
45 tenrs old, weighs about 140 pounds,
back chin whiskers and moustache.
When he disappeared he was IN possess
ion OF quite a sum OF money belonging TO
Mr.. Fuller, and it In thought that he
may have besn q victim oi foul play.
MIR. Fuller and Dorrence's many friends
are very much troubled about his alb
sence. No one believes that Mr. Dorrance
has departed voluntarily with the funds
in his possession, as lie has been trusted
with much larger sums on many previ'
Gus occasions, in fact almost every day,
for he had full control OF Mr.. Fuller's
business, the latter being confined to hi
home by sickness.

The Stock Market Opened
Weak This Morning.
The Imports of Gold Will Be
Quite Heavy This Week.
Morgan and Sage Express Opinions
on End of the Silver Boom.

sTraders have taken the bull side OF the
market on account of expecting Nc
Kinley's letter OF acceptance and the i'm
ports of gold. The leading houses such as
Lazard Freres and Heidelberg, Ickerman
q Company have engaged quite lot OF
ths yellow metal for import on Saturdays
steamer. 1t Is also said that a leading
foreign house has today purchased s250.0O0
gold in London for shipment to this
the import of q considerable amount this
week.
A number of very shrewd operators have
been buying calls on silver good for the
balance of the year at II for 3-s per
cent. They do this as hedge to long
stocks they hold and 1t is considered
good gamble for little money.
Prices, under the lead of Manhattan
Elevated, st. Paul, Chicago, Burlington
4 Quincy, Sugar, Chicago Gas and
the southern stocks, promise to he
stronger, ana will In all probabil-
ity extend 10 2 per cent. The fact
TO be considered is that all the big
operators are either short of stocks or
at least bearish in their expression Of
opinion. Keene, Connor, Terrell, We'll,
Bell, Scbley and a score of Others see
nothing upon which to bull the market.
When the talent is al found.on one
side, as is the presen case, 1t generally
follows the market is all but ready to
jump in the opposite direction.
NJ ad IN n
friend last night: 81 look for an almost
immediate and favorable change in the
monetary situation. We shall import
round amounts OF gold from Europe.
The silver agitation will subside. There
are evidences all through the West that
the craze is on the wane. 1 have every
reason to look for sweeping Republi-
can victory"
Russell Sage takes precisely the same
view and says: 81 think that by Thsnks-
giving day every dividend d-paying stock
will be 20 per cent higher, but the aver
age will be gradual until Mckinley Is
elected and then will come the BOOM"
