FLORIDA BOY MISSING.


Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 23.-Harry Jen.
nings. son OF Mrs. Il. Haussman Of this
city, is missing, and his disappearance is
shrouded in the greatest mystery.
He left New York for Jacksonville on
the steamship Seminole last Friday and
was accompanied to the ship in New York
by his older brother. but since that time
nothing has been heard of him.
Capt and Mrs. Haussman We're at the
ship to meet the lad upon its arrival
Tuesday morning. but they failed 70 find
him.
Capt and Mrs. Haussman then began
to make inquiries on the ship, and at the
Clyde passenger Office. col. T. NJ. Iron
monger, Jr., the Florida passenger agent,
Immediately interested himself in the case
and upon inquiry learned from Purser
Coburger that young Jennings ticket had
been taken up and checked off OH the
passenger list.
The tickets are usually taken up while
the ship is going down New Y Ork harbor,
somewhere between the Narrows and San
dY Hook, so il s evident that young Jen-
nings was on the ship at that time.
Col. Ironmoger next telegraphed to
Charleston. notifying the agent of the
line at that point of the disappearance Of
the lad and requesting him to notify the
police and commence a search for the boy.
1t being thought he might have gone
ashore at Charleston and got left. Col.
Ironmoger received a letter from MI. Ed
gerton, the Charleston agent stating THAT
he was giving the matter his closest at
tention. and had the police authorities
working on the case, but as vet nothing
had been heard of young Jennings.
1t may have been that the young man
was swept overheard last Saturday Right
when the steamer experienced a heavy
gale. but tins IS almost improb9 BILE. as
the blow was not severe enough - blow
the Young man off his feet.
