If My. Gill had beendi8postd to abscond he com 41 have tat on away with him at least $iiCHMJ in rath. K'cognizing the fac; that Mr. Gill's absence would aeon be trie subject of comment In the public prints, as well as a source of uneasiness to bis creditors, his son, Mr. Harry Gll.

and myself have prepared a statement of hta assets which is now at his office for due inspection of his creditors. Thti statsmeut shows that r-is assets an, st a low valuation, between and 8.tt0,000. Ooe piec of land for which I know be paid we hBTe estimated at $5,000, which shows you the low valuation put his property. THE INDEBTKDSKH. "What he owes we have no means of ascertaining, and would tike information on that score from his creditors.

In fact I don't know anything whatever about his uaDtuues, out I don't believe thev will cover half tbe amount of his assets. 8o you see how erroneous appears the impression that be absconded. I believe that he is dead; that he has met with font play, or tnai an aociaent bag oeiaiien him wQioh terminated his life. Has no inquiry or search ben made for him since he lefiT' es. His son Harrv only got back abont ten days ago from a trip in search of him.

trrom Albany be went to Montreal, Uaebeo and every place of Interest In Canada to which he thought his father would likely go, and could not and the slightest trace of him. The disappearance is so perfect that no cine is ten ceniua. Air. jui evidently not intend to remain away ao long, or he would doubtless bave made arrangements for needed and proper attention to his bssmess, which is sunering from the want of his presence and care." 'What do you suppose will be done with his fmte?" "Sow that his absence is becoming generally known it, in connection with the mystery enveloping it, will doubtless cause his creditors to institute suits agsinst the estate to satisfy whatever claims they my bold. To allow tbis coarse to be crriea out would be to permit the sacrifice of tbe estate, and in view oi this is likely that an application will be made to court for tbe appointment of administrators.

The law doeen't presume a man dead until he has been absent seven years, but we think we can convince the court, by the condition in which Mr. GUI left his estate, that he did not abscond, and that the property is, therefore, entitled to be administered upon. in the event of failure in this matter an application will be made for the appointment of a trustee to take charge of the estate in the interest of both heirs and creditors." WHAT HAS II COM OF HtM. Here the interview with Mr Day, in whom our reporter found an affable and pleasant gentlema'i, terminated, ft is doubtless the case that Mr. GUI is dead, or if alive is in some way prevented from returning home.

Tbis aspect of the cae will present itself strongly to any one who will take the treubte to think for a moment. So far as is known Mr. GUI hrt every consideration, including pleasant domestic reistlons, an unusually lucrative business, life long Bocial and baaiaeag ties, Ac to induce htm to remain in Pittsburgh. Nothing in hit business life has been discovered that would farm-to a reasonable excuse for hts long absence. The reports affecting bis reputation seem nothing more than tbe cruel rumors which idle tongues love to circulate in all cases of this character.

It ianot impossible that Mr. Gilt may yet turn up all right, but such sn evont looks in; probable, when it is remembered that bis son aearcbrd for in the clue where be said be would visit, and failed to bed name on the registers of any of th hotels This won Id Indicate that Mr. cevt-r got to those places. It may be tbit te never got away from Albany. He may bave met his destiny there.

BIS PERSONAL APPBAANtS AND HABITS. Mr Gill was a man something over hfiy vearsof sge. He was of medium height. slightly ffitn'p shouldered, but neverUteidSt a handsome person, ann of nue presence. He always dressed and taetfnlty, even nchiy.

but never tiatbUy. and was ntnd for his extremiy cleanly habits. While not given to volubility, he was pleasant and courteous in his deport men.

B. B. W. om. After Placing His Daughter in Vassar College, Goes to Albany and Sinks From Bight Futile Eflorts to Trace Him Condition of Els Baal-Bess Affairs.

Eaa He Been Foully Senlt With? When a man of wealth disappears, and is abtent fur any considerable length of time wittiest his friends and acquaintances knowing or being informed aa to his whereabouts and movements, the busy and loquacious tongue of Rumor commences to spread reports, and whatever there may be of good that ia said of tbe man, is almost invariably accompanied by something that is discreditable. It seems impossible for weak toman catnre to resist crediting a missing person with sins of some sort of omission or commission although he may have always lived a blatneleati life. Mr. S. R.

W. Gill, a prominent member of the bar of Allegheny county, has been absent for about two months, and to-day no one knows where he is nor what be is dotng. Within the last few days rumor has been free with his name, and as very indefinite reports regarding alleged questionable transactions of his have been put in motion, it is nothing more iban justice to Mr. Gilt to place tbe public in posses sion of all tbe facta, ao far as they could be 1 sited, touching his departure from PUts burgh, bis movements as far as known since then, and the condition which he I ft his business afiairs. Mr.

Gill's legal practice was not of a character to give him any newspaper reputation. He con lined himself entirely to dealing in bonds and and seldom if ever appeared in court. Biswas an office business exclusively, and whenever It was necessary for him to present papers to the court it was generally done tb rough some one else. He smasard in the pursuit of his profession an immense fortune, which is estimated at over a quarter of a million dollars. Tan street Br MOBS.

The lawyers are good talkers, which is pan of their business, and therefore entities them to a measure of allowance for what vhev Sav. Of course the naveterinim disappearance of a well known member of weir rratemity is too rare an occirrence Dot to occasion considerable comment among them, and after It had once got started the rumor of air. Gili'a unaccountable absence soon became known to tbe entire profession, and as the report gained circulation it of course grew also in embellishments. The story on the street was that about seven weeks ago Mr. Gill started for Pooghkeepsie, K.

to plsce his dsngbter in Vassar College, where she had been before. Previous to leaving he informed his family and a few of his personal friends that from Pougu-keepsie he would, go to Albany, thence op ine nuason ana busily into Canada, where be would visit Montreal, Quebec and other places of interest, among which he ixclnded the islands of the St. Lawrence. In accordance with this programme Mr. Gill accompanied his daughter to Pongbkeepsie, and then weut to Albany, since when not a word has been received from him.

What has become of him or where be is remains a profound mystery. TBI OKK.V DOTJBTFTTIi ACT. The only thing our reporter could learn as reflecting ia anywise noon Mr. GiU was the following, which is not confirmed, and is, therefore, to be taken with many grains ot allowance: it laauegeatbataniniiividuai applied to Mr. GiH to endorse a note for him.

This the latter consented te do, pro-Tided he should be given collateral security to the value of the note. A mortgage wai offered and accepred, and Mr. Giil gve indorsement. Is is alleged that Mr. Gill, while holding this mortgage only as a trustee, sold it, and that whn the purchaser went to collect the interest on it from the owner of the mortgage the latter refused to pay, on the ground that Mr, Gill held tbe mortgage only as collateral, and bad no right to dispose ot what did not Lei ore to bim.

now much truth there is in tbis cannot be PZaed, but it is iikeiy that at th hands of Mr. GlU it is suscepu'oie of a patisfaotory explanation. ncer toe impression that Mr. J. W.

Hall, who reeidta on Allegheny avenue, Alleghenr. was a law partner of Mr. oar reporter sought bim out last mgbt at nis nume team irora mm wnatever ne might be pleased to sTAte regarding the absentee. Mr. Hsli said that he was not at present a partner cf Mr.

Gill's, though he had been about seven years ago. "Is Mr, Gill's absence cauainir much street comment?" asked Mr. Ball. "ies-, it is," repaed tbe writer. "And I bear that there is considerable uneasiness among theme for whom he in vested money.

"From what I know of Mr. GUI, an-J I hve been intimately associated with him for years, I think the idea of his abscond-ica ia ho absurd as to be uaworthr a mo- menl's consideration. T-dsy an attorney came to me aoa asaa, uiu you near anything of having gone away wita lot of 1 told himthat 1 knewot Mr. Gill's absence, bat was unaware of any financial irregularities in connection with It.

"What Is your theory touching the gentleman's protracted absence?"

Before his departure I heard him speak of gning away on a trip, but from what he said gleaned the impression that hs would be absent on ly two or three weeas. oeven weeks have now passed and no word baa been received from him. lie he waa soimr to Pousbkeepsie to place his daughter in school, and then would take a ran up into tjanaoa ana aown toe st.

"So then yon think false the repirts against his honor?" "llow can 1 believe otherwise? My knowledge of the man, his upright and straightforward way of doing ba-ineas, and thesPDarentiv unencumbered real and per sonal oroTjertv of great extent which he left behind wouid lave no room for doubts of his integrity. He handled very largo sntns of money, and was implicitly trusted by those for whom be transacted business, which caitsted largely of investing money for the-m in mortg-tgaa. If you should call on Mr. T. Walter Xy be mlgbt be able to supply you with additional information, Mr.

Tne atrtentee a nave oeen unaaie to get tidings of bis fortune or his since he left Albany." With thanks to Mr. Hall for the courtemv with which he had received the writer, and for the information so gracefully roach. sated, the latter withdrew and in the course oi ten minues was pulling the door-be il at the dwelling of Mr.

T. alter Day, on ef mont street. Mr. Lay, who was amusing himself with a little piano practice In the parlor, answered the bell personally. lie ana tne reporter were soon on goou bnrius, and It be (ran about In this war: "Mr.

Day, I represent tbe Com.hkbcial Gazktte- I have called to learn whether you have heard anything of Mr. a. a. Gill." Who sent you to im?" "There was a gentleman informed me that you wouid be an excellent peruou to apply to for information." "Have yon ben to se Mr. Uali?" cross- examined Mr.

Lay. "1 bave." Did he send yon to me?" "Ah Mr. Day. that's a pointed question. He did not send me, bat he told we that you would probably Know somethmg that would oe oi in teres.

AJf IISTERBST1ITO STORY. "Well, then said Mr. Day, "nothing has been heard from Mr. Gill, though latterly we have been hoping every day that be would drop into his office. The sf ry of bis departure and aossoce is aoout mis: Dunn the eartv oartof September he said tht when his son Harry, who practices with htm.

But I had no idea irom what he said that he proposed remaining a way longer than two or three weeks.

Ou theltithor 17th or September, I have forgotten which, he with his daughter fur Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

Tuerebe pined her in VaMear College, and then went to Albany, from whence be wrote about the 21st of September to his wife and win, stating that he would go up the Hudson and over Into Csnada. Us told them that as be wouid be traveling from place to place all the time, and could not hear from them, he would not write either, but that no uneasiness should bs nntenaiued on bis account If be should remain away for a few weeks.

B. F. iMte, whici was announced yesterday, has cast a dark shadow overs wide circle of friends. The deceased was a woman of rre excellencies, whose loss will be felt in a ciety, in the church and in the home circle as a bereavement deep and severe. She was the embodiment of the most nobie and cultured type of trae womanhood and one whom none knew but to love, none named bat to praise.

I a society she was one whose association was highly print): in the chores aa earnest and steadfast discipie, and in the home circle its light and life and joy. Wherever she was known the tad intelligence of herdeath will be a sonrce of tineere lamentation, and the'deepty stricken husband and relatives will have the fullest consolation that can come from genuine and human sympathy. Mm AUgwy Barglatrjr. The clothing store of Frederick Freyer- mntb, Jo. 14 unie street, was robbed jes-terdey morning, before beyiight, of five overcoats, three pairs of pantaiOvms, thirteen pieces of cloth, one dozen white shirts, and two boxes of aodercintntng, vsiued in in sll at about $300.

Tbe two pieces of goods mentioned elsewhere as having found on River avenue, probably balontred to this lot. The store was entered through the front door by mesne of a skeleton key. Yesterday a man named Wm. Wolf, who has charge of an old building at the foot of Madison avenue, Allegheny, formerly used as a woolen mill, discovered a oat lying in the cellar of the bonding. He notified detective Miller, who proceeded to search the premises, and found quite a baadieof clothing and rolls of cloth, wblch bad ben bidden in tbe building.

It was afterwards identified by Mr. Freyamnth aa part of his goods. About one fourth of the quantity stolen was recovered. There is no clue to lbs thieves. A Dtiblt Bpreaivaaaeait.

In the freeh bereavement sustained by the Rev. r. H.W. Spauldicg and bis family in the death of the pet of the household, they lay a special claim to sympathy. Toe reminders of death have hardly lost their suggest jvenees, and the circle has hardly adjusted itself to tbe void of that other Tare well, when another lamb is missing from the little flock.

Such a grief as this is too sacred for the intrusion of the outside world. Yet so many are there who have in their own grief felt the depth and richness of tbe sympathy these mourners have dispensed, and so bard has it seemed to be debarred the poor privilege of testifying around tbe coffin their sympathy ia turn, rt would be doing violence to the best feel-Inge of our nature to repress tbe instinct that prompts us to offer a word of consolation. It will certainly help them to know that their sorrow is not all their own. There are hundreds of hearts which these lines will stir to something deeper, higher, holier than condolence and pity an earnest intercession for the Divine grace, and a tribute of thanksgiving to the Spirit or indwelling that has eoab'ed these str-xen parents, brothers and. sisters, so meekly to bow under the rod.

Trewbie Betwesa catractra. James Montsgae, through hii counsel, B. J. Powers, hied a bill equity, in tbe Court of Common Pleas Ng. 2, against James Margan and Peter McElhaney.

It is alleged that, on the hrst of July, 1ST7, McE haney was awarded a contract for the grading of a portion of the Castle Shannon Kailroad; that on the fifth of the same month be sublet a portion of his contract to Magan: that Msgnn made a verbal' agreement by which complainant, Montague, was to become a haiALpartner in tb.i sub contract, and to share'iu Uiy in ton oases or promts; that they went on withth work, which is about completed; that the money is to be paid to-day (the 5th, Inst. and amounts to $-150; that Magan is virtually insolvent, and that Mcllihaney it abont to pay over the whole amount to him, although he has been notified of com- plain sot's Claim, and requested to retain; bis shsre of the money. Tbe Court ia aked to decree a dissolution of the partnership and have an account taken: and that Me-lhaney be restrained from paying the money over to Magan. A preliminary injunction was granted, and motion to appoint a receiver will be argued on Saturday next. LJJtF CMMjmjrmT tmjok.

XOVet ef tbe Strike the Blawers aTataaai StoTelntloni lei tbe Bwalasas. The strike of the giaaa lamp chimney blowers against the "patent crimper," which they characterize as a "monopoly," and as intended to increase tbe pro.luc.ion without corresponding increase of wages, has devsU-ped another patent which, it is claimed by manufacturers, will completeiy revolutionize the glass chimney trade. Voder tbe old system, before tbe intrtxl action of the "crimper, the blowers made two hundred and fifty chimneys in a turn of four boots, but with the "crimper" they were required to turn out three hundred chimneys at a turn. This they not ouiy refosed to do, but "ttnwk" against the introduction of the patent process of doing by machinery what had been done by head. Now, instead of having the chimney "blown," as heretofore, the manufacturers have devised a revoiTing mould.

In which tbe chimneys can be made, and with the aid of the crimper, man uf acta rered at the rate of eigb; or nine hundred per turn, by nnsiEllisd workmen. Experimenting has been going on for some time with this patent mould, and aith entire soocess, it is claimed. It is stated that within a short time the importation of lamp chimneys from Germany has greatly increased, and at pnees which, without the nss of the patent appliances referred to, our manufacturers could not compete with. tmm mvMsjvm moctmtv.
