MERCHANT WHO IS MISSING.

HIS WIFE COMER TO THE CITY TO DISCOVER Hf* WHEBEABOITB.

Met by a Sews Reporter-What Learaed-The Hertbanl Was M*' lent ott Monday

Moiminf.

The wife of a prominent merchant of of a city, not a hundred miles from Terre Haute, arrived in the city last night in search of her husbsind, who is mysteriously missing. She came in on an evening train. About 10 o'clock she was on Main street and was asking information concerning the location of a boarding* house. She accosted a News' writer, saying that ne knew the name of the landlord of the house, but had lost the address. THE Nsws representative succeeded in ascertaining the street and number. The woman was apparently about 33 or 38 years of age. She ^as well attirred and carried a plush jacket and gold-headed umbrella. She finally took the reporter partially into her confidence. She said her husband was a merchant, and not long since came here to take mineral water baths. Yesterday she received a telegram from the keeper of the boarding house saying her husband had not been seen since early Monday morning that he had disappeared, leaving his trunk and satchel. She immediately came to tho city. She said she was determined to ascertain what she could of his whereabouts, and the cause of his strange actions. TUB NEWS reporter accompanied her to the boarding house, where she demanded to be admitted to his room.. The boarding house keeper at first refused, but upon presentation of the telegram the lit t-le woman was accorded the privilege. She went through his valise and trunk, but whether or not she secured any evidence was not

ascertained.

She remained over

night at the boarding house. The reporter gleaned some additional facts. Last Sunday tho business man returned home, that is to say he went to his native city, but did not enter his own door. In the evening a policeman called and asked for him. His wife responded that he was in Terre Haute. She was startled when the policeman said he had seen her husband on the street that afternoon. He returned to this city Sunday night and on Monday morning was last seen on his way to the postoiiice to mail a letter which he said contained a deed to some proporty which his wife had signed. Since that time no trace of him can be found.

The wife is well known to many in this city. She is a graduate of a school which many Terre Haute women attended. She now has a daughter in the same institution and went to see the child this morning. Bath husband and wife are well known in the city in which they reside and are most estimable people. "Don't publish my name," said the distressed little woman. "There is something wrong. I am at a loss to account for my husband's strange actions. When ho was JA.,-—why didn't he cotne home and see me? I must unlavel the mystery."

At tho boarding house the husband was highly spoken of. He was aoler, and was scarcely ever gone from his room any length of time. He is tailabout six feet—wore alight overeoat and walked with a cane. His wifo is below the average height and slender.

The case of W. H. II. Dye vs. the estate of H. C. Dickerson was given to the jury in the Circuit court this afternoon. It is a civil action for the collection of money. In his argument J. H. Kleiser referred to the plaintiff as a Shy lock. Judge Robinson, in his answer, said that he would rather be a Shylock than an Antonio,for the former, unlike the latter, paid his debts.

LANGSTON WANTS BLOOD. The Colored Congressman is After Malione's Scalp.

WASHINGTON, D. C.„ October 2.—John M. Langston, the Virginian and colored congressman, who was seated last week, is on tbe war path for ex-senator Mabone and there promises to be blood on the face of the moon, Langston was not the regular Republican nominee in his district, nor did he have the countenance support of the Republican county committee. Mahone's personal feelings towards 1 im —said to be of the bitterest kmd||»«!Vertbele8S, though the support of the immense negro vote in the district, Langston was enabled not only to defeat the regular Republican nominee, but also to roll up a sufficient support to warrant the Home in unseatidg his Democratic opponent. In the last Republican national convention at Chicag 0 Langston made a speech in sup1 port ot Senator She/man. This angered Mahone, and the latter is said to have applied tho vilest epithets to his fellow delegate, both in the convention hall and in other places. Langston. however, knew ndthin^ of this until he was told of it by a Wisconsin congressman a few days ago. Now he gives it out that he proposes to go for Mahone, tooth and nail, and to make some statements, which will not be relished by the ex-Senator. Langston says that he has been abused by Mahone long enough, and that the time is come when he can and will resent it, as it ought to be resented. Those who knew Langston, and also knew Mahone, arc of opinion that there will be some interesting developments before they ha^er. gotten through with each other.

Enrique Torrello captain of the port, who was advanced to a colonelcy by Barrundia, kicked the general's body about the deck after he had been kill oil by the police.
