Missing Boolkeeper Appears Not to
Have Left Parkersburg to Come
Home-Close Application to Work
and Mothers Death May Have
Caused Insanity--May Have Been
Murdered.

The general opinion is that Theo-
dore NJ. Stealey, the missing book
keeper from the wholesale house OF
Armstrong, Crislip, Day & Com
pany, has met foul play or become
demented and wandered away.
There are circumstances pointing to
either. He had been here but few
weeks and applied himself so close
" to the duties of his position that
the strain, together with the death
of his mother, may have been too
much for his mind. Again, tho
5 last actions he is known to have en-
gagged in at Parkersburg lead to the
belief that he may have been foully
dealt with in a mysterious manner
1t appears that after the death OF
his mother he requested the father
to break up housekeeping and come
to Clarksburg and live with him
The senior SteaIey had consented to
do this. 1t was arranged that the
household goods were to have been
packed on Wednesday of last week
and the Young man was to remain
over until that day to assist IN pack
ing the goods.
On Tuesday he went to dinner
and informed his father that he had
received a letter from his wife, and
had also received telegram from
his EMPLOYERS, urging that he re
turn as early as possible, and n'
also told his father that he would
have to return to Clarksburg on
that afternoon. He left the house
at two O'Clock in the afternoon
bidding his father and brothers fare,
well, and 3hey supposed that he mao
gone to the train. -,
On his return home from tins
place after a-vain search for his son
The father of the missing man learn
cd from Vincent Warner, a young
man. who resides in Parkersburg
and who is a friend of young Steal
ey that, he and the latter were te
gether at the Chancellor hotel OF
last Tuesday evening until s O'Clock
when. if Stealey had left on the
train ON which lie told his relatives
he was going, he would have beer
in Clarksburg on that evening IN
stead of Parkersburg.
The senior Mr.. Stealey learned
from Young Warner that all the
time he was in the company with
his son that every few minutes the
Iatter would take out his watch and
look at the time When, s o'cloek
arrived Stealey told Warner that nc
must be going, and started down
Market street. -,
AS there was no train at tins
time, this leads Mr.. Stealey to be-
iieye that his son must have had an
engagement of some character
when the young man left Warner.
II was the last he was seen by any
body, as far as has been learned
r E. Waterman, of Parkersburg
who is quite well acquainted with
his son, went to the bank with the
latter on last Tuesday morning to
identify him in order that he might
oct n check cashed for seventy-two
dollars. He says that he is positive
that his son had some money in adj
lition to this, us he had about sixty
five dollars when he first went to
: Parkersburg.

New York. May 1s.--The German
schooner Hamburg was leading the
ocean race for the kaiser's cup early
Thursday morning according to re-
ports brought In by the steam yacht
Oneida. which followed the racers 13o
miles out from Sandy Hook. A mile
and a half behind the Hamburg was
the Atlantic on the same tack and
footing at great rate. Both boats
were crowding on all the sail they
could handle close hauled, and were
beating against the 15-knot breeze,
blowing from the, northeast.
E. C. Benedict. owner Of the Oneida,
was on board and when ne headed
back to New York at dawn Thursday
the weather was so thick that nothins
could be seen Of the other contestants
In the transatlantic race until 10
o'clock yesterday morning when ths
Atlas was sighted. She was only rs
miles out and the Oneida was not
able to learn what had delayed her.
She appeared to be making good head
way and to be driving hard to make
up lost ground. The other vessels In
the fleet scattered early in the race,
and are probably hurrying In wildly
divergent courses.
In the time elapsed from the start
OF the race until the Oneida turned
back the Hamburg and Atlantic had
made good progress. footing fast all
the way. Both boats were admirably
handled and took advantage Of every
possible point.
The showing made by the Hambure
was a big surprise to those watching
her and the opinion was expressed by
the returning yachtsmen that II the
yacht and the Atlantic have
