The mysterious disappearance of Alb
bolt f. Dill, the FISHERMAN, is matter
of considerable alarm among his rela-
tiyeS and friends. He was employed
by A. e. Hamilton, oyster dealer Of 145
Front street. and his home is at 104
Front street, corner of Pierpont. He
went out longing for oysters on the
Quinnipiac river, opposite his home, on
Wednesday morning and has not been
seen by his family since. Mrs. Dill said
yesterday that he was reported to have
been seen on Thursday, but by diligent
inquiry she has not been able to find
any one who saw him. He went out on
the river early Wednesday morning and
returned at o'clock to take up a car
pet and assist about the house, then re-
turned to his boat and that Is the last
his wife has seen Of him. She says he
had only five cents, which she gave
him to buy paper Of tobacco, and he
did not have his coat, all of which
would be against his having gone away.

though up to that time she believed he
would return. She says he has never
been away more than one night with
out stating where he was going. She
says he has suffered considerably from
neuralgia of the heart at times, and
she had thought that he would not sur
vive some of these attacks; but when
he left Wednesday he was as well as
10 oil to
was found anchored in the river, and
the tongs lay across the boat. Mrs.
Dill says he had no trouble, and there
was no occasion for his leaving home.
There were other oystermen longing,
and 1t seems strange that he could have
left his boat, or have fallen overheard,
without attra citing attention, although
he might have had an attack of heart
trouble and fallen over. as 1t is not
clear just how far away the boatmen
We're If he does not turn up soon it is
probable the river will be dragged. Dill
was about fifty years of age and has a
wife and a married son.
