MI. Wyndham Boiling, one OF the most
prominent stockholders and private
bankers in Richmond, has mysteriously
disappeared. He Is found to have be-
come involved by the recent fearful
slump In securities, and upon the petition
OF one of his creditors. who filed a
petition to have him adjudged an invol-
untary bankrupt. Judge Waddill, OF the
United States Court. yesterday appointed

friends are equally in the dark as to his
whereabouts. He left the city unexpect-

with him about 5000 for travelling ex-
penses, Where he went no one knows,
and where he is now no one knows.
LOST BY THE SLUMP.
II was tile collapse of securities that
brought about the business embarrass-
Inent OF Mr.. Boiling. His friends believe
that when he saw what was coming he
could not stand the shame and dsappoint-
ment he feared they would feel, He had
invested his own money and that of his
patrons, No one has ever cast any re-
proach on his name. He has been re-
garded as a man Of spotless character.
He invested as his Judgment and eXperi-
ence suggested. Stocks went down and
down, as none could forsee they would
do. MIR, Boiling is man of nervous
and higll-strung disposition. Those who
know him best think that In moment OF
brooding over what must inevitably come,
he could not resist the force which Inn

PICTORIAL REVIEW OF THE WEEKS EVENTS.
FEW STONES THROWN;
BUT THE NIGHT QUIET
Patrols of Armed Men Placed
Along the Suburban Lines.
Service Improving and
Patronage Increasing.

There were no startling developments
In the street railway strike situation yes
terday, and the throwing, of stones at
night on the suburban lines and the ex-
ploslon Of few torpedoes upon the track
at several points were about the only
reminders that strike was in existence.
No one was injured. SO far as reported.
by any of the missiles. There was per-
haps more stone throwing in the suburbs
OF Manchester beyond tho city limits
and on the Fairmount and Clay Street
lines than elsewhere. Motormen on the
Forest IIil line report several fusilades
OF stones. and in one case the conductor
had to do some lodging to avoid being
struck, the missiles being so numerous
that there was danger OF being knocked
out.
The company yesterday took the pre-
cautions to establish patrols OF armed
men In the vicinity of the suburban
tracks, and the effect OF this surveil-
lance was to decrease serious attacks on
the cars and operatives. Up to q late
hour last night no injury and no damage
to rolling stock had been reported.
The patronage of the cars still grows,
and even at night is very good. the eN-
plosions under the cars on THURSDAY
night not having deferred people from
riding. There was a large crowd at the
Reservoir yesterday afternoon and last
night considerable crowd went out TO
this cool spot beside the waters, with
the exception of the few minor disorders
reported at night the cars are now ope-
rated without interference or any sort,
and less Is heard OF the strike ana OF the
boycott than ever before.

Two More Strikers Return.
The company yesterday received and ac-
cepted applications for employment from
two of Its former employees. one OF whom
Is Mr.. John Archer, of Manchester,

has been connected with the lines in that
city for years. Mr.. Archer was super!n-
tendent of the old Manchester horse car
line. Three other applications We're re-
ceived and accepted from new men. all
of whom are experienced, Thus only
about twenty-five or thirty vacancies
exist in the full complement of men neo-
essary for the full operation OF the
lines. The men are now nearly all UNI
