that it will ultimately provide high
speed motive power for railroad traffic
1t is expected to develop a speed of 100

A short run was made down the
track at about forty miles an hour
and then the private car which
brought the New York Central officials
to the scene was coupled on and with
w. K. Vanderbilt Jr. at the controller,

ONCE WEALTHY
MAN MISSING
Neil S. Phelps Disappears
on the Eve of an Account
ing With His Creditors
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 27.-
Neil S. Phelps. chairman of the Phelps
Sanitarium and the Ellis Publishing
Company, treasurer of the Malta Vita
Pure Food Company and a stockholder
in several ether local industries, is
missing. Leaving home on Sunday un-
announced. Phelps has neither been
seen nor heard of since. Whether he
committed suicide or left the country
rather than face financial embarrass-
ment is a mystery.
One year ago Phelps, who had been
considered the richest man in Battle
Creek, called a meeting of his creditors
and said he could not meet their de-
mands. The millions he had made in
pure food and other speculations had
been lost through improbable invest
ment in new industries. To give him a
chance to save himself the creditors
gave Phelps year to repair his losses
This year ends next Friday and Phelps
cannot meet his creditors. He had
worn out his brain in an effort to fill
the financial breach, until, broken in
health and mentality, it is positive that
whether he has committed suicide or
fed, his mind was unbalanced.
The police to-day let the water ont
of the mill race, where Phelps was last
seen; but no body was found. The
lakes are being dragged and the county
searched by officers.
Phelps came here penniless after his
private business college in California
was burned. His textbook for business
colleges won him local friend, Charles
Ellis, and the Ellis Publishing Com

and almost killed President Durham

lowed carbolic acid last Wednesday
night and ended his life. His trial
on the charge of an assault with intent
to commit murder was to have begun
in Judge Mogan's court yesterday.
Casteel was an invalid He came
here about a year ago. His dispute
with President Durham was concern
ing money matters. he having charged
Durham with getting the best of him
In transaction involving CasteePs in
terest in the college. Casteers body
was found yesterday morning in his
room at $50 Ellis street, the st. Kath-
ryn Hotel A glass which had con-
tsined carbolic acid lay at his side.
He left several notes TO friends, the
most explicit Of which regarding his
intention was one addressed TO A. A.

see TO the disposition of his baggage
and himself
Continuing he wrote as follows:
II Il can be managed 1 would be glad to
have things attended TO as quietly as possible.

search Of cure and had failed. His
suicide was a surrender to disease
and dependency.

tOrnia Business College. made a state
ment last night in which he said that
although Casteel had deliberately at
tempted to kill him he bore the un-
fortunate man no i'll will. He said
