The Case Of the Missing Charles e.
PiIsbury.

Mr.. Daniel S. Knowiton, private secre
tary to the collector of the port of Bos-
ton, was here and In Biddeford, Saturday.
Investigating the mystery surrounding
the disappearance OF his uncle, Mr..
Charles &c, Piisbury, treasurer Of the
Piper Manufacturing company Of Port
land.
Mr.. Piper, whose cottage Of Cape Eliza
beth MIR. Piisbury secretly left on the
early morning Of June "a. Is inclined to
the belief that In period Of temporary
insanity he threw himself into the sea.
but Mr.. knowlton is Of the opinion that
the missing man wand cred away In a de-
mented condition., and that he will event.
ually be found. NN
MIR. Pilsbury called on his nephew In
Boston, few days before the date mem
toned. and appeared very much wor-
ried over financial matters. He had bor.
rowed money with which TO extend his
business. and had renewed this notes from
time to time, but not seeing his way
clear to meet them. he felt that crash
was Inevitable. MIR. knowlton discussed
the matter with him freely, and learning
that the real estate In Biddeford was not
encountered, advised him to cheer up and
come back to Portland to meet his credi-
tors and devise some way to bridge over
the trouble. Mr. Pilbury agreed to fol-
low that advice and came here with the
avowed purpose Of Strengthening out the
tangle.
Being proud spirited 1t is believed that
the financial embarrassment caused him
to worry himself sick, and that his mind
finally gave way under tho strain.
Mr.. Pilsbury's elder daughter, Miss
Annie x. Pilsbury, is propristress of
Photographic studio In fashionable
part OF Boston, and has achieved much
success In that calling. She recently
closed the studio for the summer and was
about to start for the country on vaca-
tiou when the news OF her fathers sud-
den disappearance from Portland reached
her. Following the advice OF her rela-
tives, who promised that everything posi-
BILE would be done to locate him, she
finally decided to go ON her vacation, and
she is now in daily communication with
them. This is all there Is to the runner,
in circulation in Biddeford. Saturday,
that che and her father had left their
places of business simultaneously.

Mrs. Lena E. Corby has comm an
action in the district court to compel w.
H. Abbott to render an accounting of the
business in which they AVE been en-
gagged. h also asks for the appointment
of a receiver. In her complaint she states
that on the 18th Of February she and
Abbott formed a partnership for the pur-
pose of precipitating the copper in, the
water pumped from the Parrot mine.
She was to have a third of the proceeds
and Abbott the balance. She alleges that
since the formation of the partnership
Abbott has from time to time, without
her knowledge and against her will and
consent, Incorporated money belong
Ing to her and refused to account for
more han a sixth Of the proceeds, The

TEN-OUNCE CLEANUP
WHISKY GULCH STILL YIELDING
GOLD.

Henry Hackman of Whisky gulch,
three miles southwest of the city,
dropped into Clark Bros. bank this morn
ing and deposited ten ounces of gold dust
that had been washed from a bar near
the gulch by his partner and himself dur
ing the last twenty days. The dust of
that district is valued at only about $13. 40
an ounce, as there is considerable silver
mixed with it. The amount deposited is
just about wages for the two.
Mr.. Hackman states tina considerable
work is being done in and near the gulch.
but no one is doing we'll. "Twenty-five
years ago." says he, those claims would
not have received much attention, but
now it is different. Almost anything is
good now. A man named Christie seems
to be doing about. as we'll as anyone, but
he has an occasional barren streak of
luck. Once he worked a Who'll month and
cleaned up only IS. He collects the royal
ties from the other miners for the use Of
the water, as he owns the ditch"
