BELL, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, Troy, N. T., Job* 14.—Ob Wednesday, May 2, Henry Umbaoh, a newsdealer of Lansingborg, left tbia city to to to Utioa for the purpose of transacting business with the Ohte of that oity. l(r. Umbtoh had acted m agent for that pnblioation for the paat six month*. He remained in Albany Wednesday, having miieed the train for Utioa. Thnreday morning he left the hotel, and there all traoe of him was lost. The proprietors of the Utioa paper received his letter, oontalnlng manuscript for pnblioation, bnt Mr. Umbaoh did not reach Utica. The young man had quite a sum of money—about $900—with him, representing, it is said, the amount that he had had in the bank and the collections from the sales of the Utica paper. A feat are connaoted with hi* disappearance, and to whioh considerable importance is attached, is the fact that on the day prior to his disappearance he went to a photograph study and sat for his picture. The police were notified, and, althongh search was made in every direction, it has been futile. Finally Mrs. Umbach visited several clarivoyants last week, and three ol these told substantially the same story, that his naked body would be found in a few days, but they did not give the location. To-day the mystery was oleared tip, dispatohea having been received by his friends that his body had been found in the Ohio river near Madison, Ind. It had been stripped of its clothing, but, as Umbach was deformed, the identification of the remains was comparatively easy. The oircumstances tend to show that Umbach was robbed and mnrdered. His clothing, from whioh everything of value had been taken, was found near by. Umbach was 27 years old and unmarried. It is believed that he was temporarily insane and wandered to Indiana. A Gbo«t Stood by Kim. Nkw York, Jan* 15.—▲ tew day»  Ann Ennis, wife of Patrick Ennis, a laborer living at 108 Baltic street, sent a portion of a |30 bill to the treasury department at Washington for redemption. She stated that she had given her little boy Joseph, aged 3 years, her poeketbook to play with, and that the bill was inside it. 8he went ont of the room for a few minntee and on returning found that the boy had torn tha bill, the larger portion being on the floot and the rest he had in his month chewing. She farther stated that she pioked some of the pieces oat of his month, bat they were so ehewed up she coald do nothing with them and did not save them. A day or so after this the alleged ohewed up part of the bill was received at the department from a sporting man in New York named John Shea! who requested that it be redeemed. On putting the two piece* together it was found they fitted exactly. Shea aooonnted for hia piece by stating that he had returned to New York from one of the race tracks, and while displaying a roll of bills a man grabbed at them and tore the $\!U bill iu qi estion .He (Shea) put both portions in his pocket, and during that evening came over to Brooklyn and went into several saloons The following morning he discovered be had only one piece of the torn bill. | An investigation was set on foot, and yesterday Mrs. Ennis was arrested by the government on a charge of presenting a bill for redemption accompanied by a false statement as to its mutilation. It is stated that Shea is acquanted with one of Mrs. Knnis's daughters, Mamie. Mrs. Knnis was held in $500 bail for examination by United States Commissioner J. J. Allen. Bad Bruin Foiled.

"We are the leading Furnishing House of this The nightly visit* went on, and young Pope's health became so bad that a physisieian was called in. He failed steadily, however, and Friday he was taken to the County Hospital, where he died yesterday morning. Pope died yesterday under somewhat peouliar circumstances. Three nights after the murder he ran soreaming into his sisters' room in a great fright and fell into a swoon. When he reoovered he said that the ghost of the murdered man had stood by the head of the bed and awakened him. His sisters tried to convince him that he had been dreaming, but he insisted that he had seen a real spirit. The next night the scene was repeated, and for several nights thereafter. The yonng man began to grow thin and pale under the worry and exoitement. The sisters say they sat up with him one night and heard the groan- * ings and rappings which their brother had | described. Chicago, June 13.—The mystery about the murder of William Barrett, the Pinkerton detective, May 22, has never been cleared np, although the murdered man's wife and his brother-in-law were arrested for the crime. A bartender named James Pope, with his two sisters, lived in the same house with Barrett, and it was surmised that they knew something about the murder, as one of the sisters was detected sending an ananymous note to Captain ODonnell, of the police, declaring that Mrs. Barrett and her brother were the real murderers.

Potsdam, Jane 15.—At 11 o'olook this morning Emperor Frederick died, inrronnded by hi* family. An hour after midnight the Empress dismissed the members of the imperial family te their apartments, and prepared hereelf to pass the night watching in a room adjoining the sick chamber. Dr. Hoveil shared in the vigil. At this time the Emperor was in the fall possession of bis faenltles. Shortly after 1 o'clock he wrote on a slip of paper the following qneetions, whioh he handed to Dr. Hovell: "How is my pise t" "Are yon satisfied with it f" He then wrote something more, but he retainen the piece of paper in his hands after erasing the words. Between '2 and 3 o'olook his breathing became terribly labored, and some momenta of straggle would ooourr, alternating with spasms and great distress as the hard fight with approaching death progressed. By this the strength of the dying Emperor was seen to be waning. As soon as it became evident that the end was near, the Empress caused the royal family to be snmmoned. At 8 o'olook all gathered around the bedside. Dr. Koegel, Court Chaplain, who had been summoned by telegram from Ems, did not arrive in time to administer the last sacrament. Dr. Persius, therefore, officiated in this ceremony. Pastor Rogge was also present in the death ohamber. COK8CIOU8 TO THE LAST. During the administering of the sacrament, and indeed even to within 15 minutes before his deatb,the Emperor appeared to be quite conscious. He showed by the expression of his eyes, and by the movements of his eyelids, that he still reoognized all who approached the bedside, relatives and others. A number of officials who had been summoned early is the morning, reached the place before death had taken place. Among those present at the time the Emperor died were Count von Stolberg-Wernigeaode, General von Albedyll, Count Enlenberg, Qeneral Kauch, Count Radolin- Rsdolinski, General Pape and General Lindequist. Prince Bismarck did not go to Potsdam from Berlin until after the meeting of the Ministerial Couuoil, where he formerally announced the decease of the Emperor. The Emperor's remains will probably ie in state in the garrison church at Potslam. By order of the Evangelical Church Council the bells will be tolled at specified lours for 14 days succeeding in all the 'rotestant churches of the kingdom. The Berlin Jleichtanzeiger publishes a telegram from Baden stating that the dowager Empress Augusta, to whom the news of the dangerons turn which the Emperor's malady had taken had been carefully broken, immediately expressed a wish to return to Berlin. Her physicians, however, would not permit her to undertake the journey, her strength having been so overtaxed by recent events as to render her unable to stand the fatigue of the trip. She may return during the week. Wilijamsj'ort. Pa„ June 13.—'Within the past mouth or two the farmers throughout the county have been troubled with bears attacking their sheep. The latest happening of this kind comes from Mt. Zion, a small place near the base of the mountains. Last Saturday night a bear invaded the barnyaid of J. 15. Hostrander and, while he failod to do injury to the sheep, he created some consternation irnong the family. Mrs. Hostrander wu he flrHt to bear the bell suspended from the neck of the boss sheep of the flock. The brave woman, thinking no doubt that the woo] needed protection, arose and prepared for war. She lighted the lantern and started out of the honBe. The bell all the while kept up a jingle. Closer she auie to the sheep pen, when she was al- most struck speechless. Bruin was standing there, and as the woman approached, with a huge club as the only weapon, the the bear retreated to a brush pile, and kept up a continued growling and snapping. Presently Farmor Hostrander and his sea David came upon the scene, and, as if by inotinot that the appearance of the men meant danger, the bear took to his heels and ran of! to the hills. The husband is very proud of bis couragious wife just now. Then he began to improve, bnt did not leave his home until a few weeks ago. Sunday he was again forced to his bed. Blood poisoning set in that night, and for three days he suffered frightful agony. He died thia afternoon. ffloer Sullivan was not expected to live. torn with metal from the bursting shell.

They did not, for a time, notice that they were getting further and (further from land. When they discovered their danger they did their utmost to reach shore, bat were unable to do so. The wind was blowing freely off shore, the tide was strong, and the boat was soon hopelessly adrift.
