BALTIMORE, MD. Jan. 2-The police
of this city having failed to find any
trace Of Charles II. Newhouse, the miss
ing cattle broker from culpeper county
Va, now express the opinion that he IS
not in the city, but went from here 20
Washington.
This view is strengthened by the re-
ceipt in this city tonight of a telegram
from Front Royal, Va, stating that car
ence e. Liilard, OF that place, saw New
house Sunday morning last in the Penn
Eylvania Railroad depot in Washington
SURE IT WAS NEWHOGSE.
Newhouse was alone and passed through
the smoldng-roomL At that time Lillard
did not know that Newhouse was miss
ing. and hence did not accost him. Lillard
does not know which way 1Eewhouse
went.
He knows the young man well, and as
sure he is not mistaken.
UNSOLyED NJ STERY.
OF all the mysterious disappearances
none have created more interest or more
completely baffled detective skill than the
swallowing up of Charles II. Newhouse.
Having followed the shipment of two
carloads Of cattle TO Baltimore, in COM
pany with his partner, Mr. j. NJ. Lewis,
sold them. made hotel arrangements for
the night, he accompanied MS pa! tiLeI 1I1H
Mr. Nathan Affelder to a. theatre. The
play at the theatre over, MIR. Lewis part
cd from the other two, promising to
meet MIR. Newhouse at the hotel IN
short time. Mir. Newhouse and Mr. Af-
fielder boarded. 3. car and proceeded west
as far as Baltimore and Howard Streets.
where they separated, Mr.. Newhouse
stating that he was going back to the
Howard House. while MIR. Affelder re-
r1lained in the car, being on his way
home.
Mr. Newflouse was known to have
good deal of money on him at the time
of his disappearance, and the theory of
foul play at once suggested itself.
UTTERLY LOST TO VIEW.
Since then Charles II. Newhouse has
not been traced.
In payment for the cattle he received
Messrs. S. Sundheirner & Co.'S check for
sl940 and one from Gebhart Brothers for
S31S The latter check he had cashed at
The stock-yards, and it is supposed that
he had nearly all of the proceeds with
him.
The check for the larger amount was
sent for deposit in the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank of Culpeper.
The police of Baltimore have made an
exhaustive search. Hon. S. NJ. Newhouse,
of Culpeper the young mans father, has
done everything thought could suggest.
and the odd-Fellows Of Culpeper, Of
which he was a prominent member. have,
through a committee of active citizens.
done everything possible 10 clear the

POLICE BAFFLED.
Perhaps never i'll the history of Balti-
more has town been so thoroughly
searched for a man as it has been for
Mr. Newhouse but SO far as known the
police have met with absolutely no sue

aware of the fact that he had been seen
after leaving Mr.. Afelder- The young
:. man was well acquainted in the western
part of the city. and a number of people
recognized his photograph. but no one
remembered seeing him during the past
eight days.

likely to harbor a band OF men or wo-
men using Knockout drops have been
visited by The detectives ard others in
