Rich Man Disappears Very Suddenly.

The mysterious disappearance OF
Captain James Dovey, wealthy brick
manufacturer of Blalrsville. has caused
a sensation in that neighborhood. He
carried money and valuables, and it is
now believed by his family that he
was beguiled to some secluded place
and foully dealt with for the purpose
of robbery.
The detectives employed by Mrs.
Dovey have acknowledged their in
ability to obtain even the slightest
clue as to the location of her husband.
The case is one of the most mysteri-
GUS that has ever been reported in
that locality. Captain Dovey simply
boarded a train and seemingly dropp'
ed off the earth.

thirty years in the service, but have
not attained that age will be entitled
to the benefits of the fund upon the
report of the committee which will
have administration of the fund The
pension allowance will be based upon
length of service, and the average
wages received by the employe dur.

Returned Home Only to Find his Wife Dead

"My God, is she dead? was
looking for her face in the crowd"
This was the ejaculation made by John
Moore Sunday night when he returned
to Williamsport from the Klondike
after two years absence, to learn
that his wife had died last January.
Moore's father and a dozen friends
were at the tram to receive him, and
it was his father who broke the sad
news of his wife's death. Moore was
accompanied by William Ohlen. Both
men suffered indescribably hardships
in the Klondike and returned without
any gold.
