At it o'clock on Tuesday evening, Aug ust 23, ThomaB Beall Rlchey, of Wood stock, Va., walked out of the Howard House, corner of -Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street, and from that mo ment has never been heard of. He dis appeared as utterly as if some tremendous cataclysm had engulfed him. He was canceled as completely ns though a convulsion of nature had bur led him. Nothing more mysterious has ever occurred in Washington. A man In the prime of life, a prosperous mer chant, a devoted husband, a sincere Christian, sober, of high repute and In fluential family connections, Thomas Beall Rlchey passed from the Howard House Into nntoccultatlon as absolute as death Itself. That such a thing could happen in the very heart of Washington, at an hour when the whole city was awake and under circumstan ces of perfect public order and tran quility, Is us astounding as any ro mance ever concocted by Gaborlau or Du Boisgobey. Indeed, it beggars ro mance and takes', rank with those ap palling facts which prove to us how much stranger than all Imaginable fic tion is the simple truth. There are details and collaterals which go to Intensify the mystery. Mr. Rlchey stopped over In Washington for the purpose of locating or tracing ills baggage, which had gone astray. Re had set out from New York, where he had been purchasing a stock of goods, leaving his wife to pay a brief visit to her family, but on reaching the Capi tal found that his trunk was missing. On that account he put up at the How ard House, awaiting the result of a telegram to his brother-in-law In New York, and, meanwhile, wrote to his niece In Woodstock, advising her of his detention. In the note he explained that he was waiting for his trunk, and would take tho train for home as soon as it turned up. He closed his message by saying it was so warm that he In tended taking n ride on the electric cars probably Into the suburbs, with a view of enjoying the fresh air while the city cooled off. The remarkable fact In this connection Is that while the letter It self was In Mr, Ridley's well-known handwriting! and exhibited not the slightest sign of physical or mental perturbation, the envelope was ad dressed In chlrography totally unfamil iar to every one of Mr. Rlchey's friends and relatives, The hotel sta tionery was not used. There wns noth ing to indicate the locality from which it was sent. But the postoillce brand on the outside showed that It had been taken up somewhere In Washington at 2:30 a, m. Wednesday morning. The presumption is, therefore, that Mr, RU-hey wrote the letter after leaving the hotel possibly several hours af terwardand that some one In whoo company he then was undertook to ad dress and mall It. Another circum stance tending to complicate the mys tery Is that Inquiry subsequently mudo at the Pennsylvania depot showed that the trunk hud reached here next day, that the check had been presented nnd the property removed, A telegrom was received at the hotel after Mr. Rlchey's disappearance. It was from his brother-in-law In New York, saying that the trunk had been forwarded from tho Courtlandt street ferry office, and It was opened by one of the lost man's brothers. The telegram gave the num ber of the check, nnd so It was an easy mutter to ascertain that It had been taken up at the depot- It Is also a logical conclusion that tho person pre senting the check must huve got It from Mr. Rlchey. Could It have been tho same man who addressed tho letter which was stomped 2:30 a. m,, August 21, and sent to Woodstock? Altogether this strikes us as one of the most remarkable episodes In the history of Washington. Considering all the clrcumtances tho time, the place, the well-known character of the man, everything It constitutes as profound and perplexing a mystery us ever fig ured In song or story. Mr. Rlchey dis appeared on the night of Tuesday, tho 23d eight days ago and up to a lato hour last night not a truce of him, however faint, had been developed. His friends have searched the city high and low. They huve visited the hos pitals, tho police stations, even tho morgue. Not a gleam of light has been thrown upon the ca)e.
