SPECULATION AROUSED
By Mysterious Disappearance OF 6
Man and Woman.


Man and Woman.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE Herald prints
the following
Much speculation is being INDUCED in
by the friends of the Rev James LIE
Baron Johnson as to his Wherea bouts.
He was last seen about a week ago at
Watkins, N Y, where he has been a pa
tient of a sanitarium, having gone there
several months ago because of a most
serious attack of nervous prOstratiOn.
Mr.. Johnson left the sanitarium ten
days ago and came to New York for
some purpose, and, after remaining here
for one day, returned to Watkins He
stopped at the sanitarium for two days
and then went away, taking all his bag
gage with him. He left address, and
his relatives in this city and elsewhere
are wondering what has become of him.
Mrs. johnson, who was Miss Mabel
Van Rensselaer,, is living with her
mother, Mrs. Alexander Van Renssae-
Ter, al the family residence in this city
Mr.. Johnson's shattered health is said
to be largely the result of his duties as
one of the chaplains Of the fire depart
nlent, which he assumed on March %,
1899, having been appointed to that po-
sitiOn by Fire Commissioner Scannell.
Several years ago he lived in Tacoma.
Wash, before he took holy orders, and
was a member of the local fire depart
ment of that city. For two years he
slept in the engine house of the volun-
teer company to which he belonged, so
that he might be promptly on hand
whenever a fire alarm came in during
the night.
After leaving Tacoma he went to San
Francisco, and remained there for some
time.
Mr.. Johnson came to New York sew
erai years ago and, after having studied
for the Episcopal ministry, was ad-
mitted to the church. He was made as
sistant rector of Grace church. The fact
that he had become a minister did not
partment affairs. however, and on March
% of last year he received the coveted
appointment of chaplain.
Mr. Johnson met the family of Miss
Mabel Van Rensselaer, after coming to
New York, and in due time became en-
gagged to the young woman. The we'd
ding took place at Grace church on
April IS. 1899, and was one of the most
brilliant affairs that have taken place
there.
Mr. johnson is believed to be some
where in the west.
Almost simultaneously with the dis
appearance of Mr.. Johnson from the
sanitarium at Watkins comes the dis
covery that Miss Mary Hoffman, daugh-
ter of Southland Hoffman of San Fran
cisco, who for nearly two years has at
tended the Bellevue training school for
nurses in this city, left the institution
very suddenly last week. 1t IS said that
she went to'San Francisco.
Miss Hoffman, who is wealthy in her
own right. entered the training school
for nurses simply for the purpose Of
gaining experience. She made excellent
progress and was at the head Of her
class. which is to graduate early in jan
uary.
Miss Brennan, who is in charge of the
school said that she knew of no reason
for Miss Hoffman's sudden departure,
except that the young woman told her
last Wednesday that she had received
a dispatch containing bad news from
her family in San Francisco, and that
she was obliged to leave for that city.
