IS IT FOUL PLAY? The Friends of M. G. Patterson, the Decatur Contractor, Alarmed at His Protracted Absence. The December Weather. Several local weather wiseacres hava claimed that the temperature of December, 1888, was milder than the present month which is to wink out to-day.

The following comparative figures, for which we are indebted to J. F. Curry, proprietor of the Hotel Brunswick, is submitted to prove that December, 1889, has been the warmest December month in many years, taken at 6 a. 1880 Dec. 1--30 above 1S83 D-c.

The above is the caption of the following article which appeared in the Bloom- ton Pantagraph to-day: Mr. M. G.

Patterson, the Decatur contractor, who is constructing the new building at the Orphans' houe, was seen by his friends in the Windsor hotel Tuesday evening. His failure to appear since then has greatly astounded his friends. He got the contract from the state to build the new structure at the home for 844,000, and has been at work on it all the fall. He also had work at Lincoln and visited this city once or twice a week, stopping at the Windsor. His last arrival at the hotel was Monday last.

On Tuesday he gave his foreman money to pay his employes. Mr. Patterson paid his bill at the Windsor, and, it is said, was seen there after supper. It is stated that he had SHOO on his person and he leaves 81,800 in the First fcational bank. This Rum was attached Saturday by Lyon, Armstrong A Co, of Decatur, who brought suit for 86000, and the Bankin brick company, of this city who want 33,049.

There would be due him when the building is done about $10,000. It is argued that he would make a profit on the structure and that there is money due him from the state at Lincoln for repairs on buildings at the feeble minded institute. It is also said that he had just completed a church at Litehfiela on wtiich he made a clearing. The matter was kept qniet until Friday when Mr. Lyon, one of his bondsmen, eeme here and also visited Lincoln, but could flad no trace of him.

His family in Decatur have heard nothing from him and have no idea where he could be. Many incline to the idea that he has been murdered for bis money and others that his mind has become affected and he has wandered away. He is described as a man 50 years of age, full round face, florid complexion. Had a moustache and wore a soft felt hat. Was about five feet nine inches high and was inclined to stoop a little.

While at the Winsor he was not very communicative and passed some of the time his room writtingand not infrequently Bleeping in the afternoon. He was not a drinking man and so far as known all of his affairs financial and moral are in good and is on Patterson's bond for ful completion of the work at the Orphan's Home. He decided to continue the work, and yesterday put on an extra force of men. He will nave the work finished by January 15, the time which the contract calls for. The three gentlemen left in the afternoon, Mr.

Burrows going to Peoria, where it was thought Mr. Palterson may have gone. The gentlemen, it is said, are of the opinion that Mr. Patterson has skipped ont, and that he has not been robbed or killed. The story that he was seen at the Illinois Central depot Wednesday morning and took the train for Chicago is probably without much foundation.

All that is known positively of the case is that he has gone, and that nobody at present ha: his address. He did not have a wide acquaintance in Bloomington and Normal. He had met several, but not intimately, and none in the city knew much of his habits. One or two yesterday said that he occasionally took a drink, but that he was never under the influence. When his financial affairs have been better investigated some light may be thrown on the cause of his disappearance.

Saturday night at 9 o'clock a girl baby three weeks old was left on the porch at the Swigart reeidei-ce on the Brenneman place, north of the city, by parties unknown. The crying of the child attracted a member of the family to the porch to discover tht little waif.

It was well supplied with baby clothes and there was a cote attached telling the finder to take good care of the babe. No marks on the clothes.

IN DECATUB.

Sunday evening the REPUBLICAN reporter called upon Mrs. M. G. Patterson at her home, No. 429 St.

John's place, to ascertain if she knew anything of the whereabouts of her husband. The lady was found to be in great mental anxiety, and could give no information whatever. Her husband left home last Monday I morning, December 23, to go to Bloomington, and he took a small satchel with containing no change of clothing. She has not. seen or heard of hi a since, only that Lfrwia Lyon, his contract foreman, parted with him at the court house in Bloomington on the evening of Tuesday, December 24, when Mr.

Patterson said he was not feeling well, that he would go to the Windsor hotel to rest awhile, and that he might go to Pooria the next day (Christmas) to see about some brick. Many inquiries have since been instituted but no news ot Mr. Patterson's whereabouts can be ascertained. The mystery is beyond the comprehension of Mrs, Patterson whose state of mind can better be imagined than described. She believes that he has met with some foul play at Bloomington or Peoria, or that he may have met with an accident.

Mr. Patterson is a man whose integrity never been questioned. He was very methodical in his habits. He is a member of Beinnwnoir Commandery, Xo. 9, Knights Templar.

THS lATEST. Special to the REPUBLICAN. BLOOJUNOTON, Dee. p. is stated that a young man connected with the Leader office saw Mr.

Patterson leave Bloomington for the north on the Central train, Christinas morning. Further than this there is no information as to the whereabouts of the missing man. Decatur parties are here making diligent inquiries. Pram TuetOav'i The presence of M. G.

Patterson is still shrouded in mystery, and all chat as to his whereabouts or the cause of his sudden seclusion is mere speculation. He may be in trouble financially. If he is, the publication of his affairs will only tend to make him more seclnsive, as he is very sensitive. No one in Decatnr has any knowledge of bis whereabouts. It is generally believed that he has gone off for awhile, probably to Chicago, and that he will return sooner or later.

He may have been murdered for money he was supposed to have in hie possession, but it is not now believed that he has met with violence. IKE SITUATION AT BLOOMUfOTOJl. The Blbomington Pantagraph of today contains the following in reference to the Patterson case: The disappearance of Mr. Milburn G. Patterson was yesterday the topic of much conversation.

During his trips to this city he became acquainted with many citizens, who are sorry to hear that he may have met with foul play. No trace has yet been found of him and the mysterious disappearance is yet unexplained. Messrs. James MilUkan, L. L.

Burrows and George Lyon, of Decatnr, came up yesterday to see if they could get any trace of Patterson. Mr. Millikin IB a bankei and prominent citizen of Decatur, From Wednesday's Daw, Still No Tidings--A Careful Search to Follow. Wherever the reporter goes he is met with the anxious inquiry: "Has anything been heard of M.G.Patterson?" and here and thereon the streets, in stores and in offices, are groups of men who pass minutes and hours in discussing the various phases of the singular case. It is not believed by the friends of Mr.

Patterson who know him best, that he is in any sense dishonest, and they justly argue that if he bad planned to run off with money, that he certainly would not have left 81800m the Bloomington bank, or would have gone away even with all the money he could have got hold of tbe day he disappeared, Deo. 24, and all tbe talk generally reduces itself tomerespes- ulation as to the cause of the disappearance and the probable whereabouts of the architect. As a matter of fact it is of special interest to state that when Mr Patterson left his Decatur home on the morning of Deo. 23 he told his wife that he would send her some money from Bloomington, as he expected to reoeive a draft from Lincoln on his arrival in that city. He was in BloomingtoE on Monday and up to 9 o'clock Tuesday night.

He did not send mohey to his wife as promised, probably expecting to come home on Christmas. It should be stated further that he sent his wife a message on Tuesday evening suggesting where they would take dinner on Christms day, thus plainly indicating that his plans then were to return to Decatur. If he had intended to go away, certainly he would not have sent the message to his wife, and surely he would have forwarded the money. It was learned to-day that a draft for $412 in Mr. Patterson's favor sent from the National Bank at Lincoln had been been taken out of the Bloomington post office by Mr.

Patterson on Teesday evening, Dec. 24, and a full description of the draft is in possession of Peddecord, Burrows bankers, this city. It has not yet been paid, so far as known, and when it is, if Mr. Patterson is alive, he will be located. Look at the situation as you will, tbe conviction seems strong that Mr.

Patterson has met with foul play or has wandered off in a condition of mental aberration. Had he remained at home or at Bloom- iugton and faced tbfe business difficulties said to beset him, he would have had the assistance from his bondsmen, who in any event would have bad to go ahead with the contract and complete it as a matter of safety to themselves, as a failure to have the job finished by January 15, involves a penalty ol $25 a day thereafter. News from Bloomington is to the effect that diligent search is to be made that city and Peoria for the missing man. Many there are who believe that he has met with violence and that his lifeless body will be discovered sooner or later. 'ihe fact that contractors and banks have caused attachments to issue is not proof ihat Mr.

Patterson has fled. Were it knwn positively that he had been murdered such a course would doubtless have been pursued. Pleased with Spokane. Billy Hawley.who left for the west some days ago, writes home that he has arrived safely at Spokane Falls, Washington, and that he is more than pleaaed wit-'Jae outlook. He thinks Spokane ia the town for him and his famfly, and he will doubtless locate there permanently.

At the time the letter was written he had not decided what occupation he would engage in, but doesn't think ot coming back. He found the streets full of brick and mortar, everybody busy with an airot activity visible everywhere Gone Away. The police are notified that James Surdam, lately in the employ of E. G. Hodge, the music dealer, has gone off with May Flowers to St.

Louis, after sending his wife to Michigan. It is further asserted that Surdam has left debts unpaid and has tixen Mr. Hodge's light overcoat with him. He is 28 years of age. If thu stories are true Surdam has made a very bad break, which be will doubtless regret in time.

Prom WatnaOav'iJjattv. 1889 is no more, and to-day 1890 is ushered in with a meadey rain, tbe beginning of a new decide. Tbe ringing of church bells, the blowing of steam whistles, the tooting of borne and tbe firing of pistols and guns, were among the noisy greetings ot the New Year, but there were services and social gatherings which were more dignified and enjoyable.
