The following M ramie storr is tele graphed fro n Wiitcrbiiry, Connecticut : r.. M. Andrews. weidlh architect and builder was reported murdered in Floiida by angry Macks, on January 1. 1880. and his supposed widow, a resident of NttU galuck, colli i ted part of I lie insurance 011 his life. There is positive evidence now that Andrews is alive and well, and will soon return to his friends in Connecticut. ! Mrs. Andrews, who is now in Ridge- i field, has gladly consented to doll the , weeds of mourning, and to welcome ! back her wandering husband, and he is said to be waiting only for a satisfactory arrangement with the Masonic fraternity, whereby the insurance money paid by them to his wife shall be refunded, when he will step out of his hiding-place. On the authority of 11. C. Baldwin, of Nau gatuck, it is asserted that Andrews is in Portland. Oregon, where, when a young man, he lived for a time, and was getting along prosperously. The history of Mr. Andrews from Jan. 1, 18SG, to (lie present time is involved in mystery. Some darkly hint at a Southern romance, a 1 others talk of mental aber ration, from which he has only just re , covered. E. M. Andrews came fo Nan tuck with his wife in 1881. lie had been , a resident >. I'lainfield, Conu., and it was in the villa , of Moosun, in the township of Plainfleld, that lie met Mrs. Andrews, then a Miss Hill. He had served 111 the war of the rebellion, and had been wound ed iu the arm. This wound resulted in the drawing up of two of the lingers of his left baud, and lie received a pension from the Government up 10 the time of his dis appearance. He was a graduate of Slief tield Scientific School and of Vale Col lege. Mr. Andrews hail obtained thecon trai t for • . '.ion of the Town Hall in NiuigalilcK. 1 was for the purpose uf being near f'.li work that he took up his residence there. This is one of the hand somest structures in the town, but is said to have been built in-ecurcly, the rear resting on sauu., and sinking ground. Mr. Andrew's prom- from the contract are es timated at v io,ooo. At Waterbury lie designed and constructed the church edi fice on Grand -treet, the most modern . house of worship in the valley. While en > ling Ihc' buildings Mr. An drews made hosts of friends, among theiu such men of influence its E. L. Riggs, of Seymour, ('. K Mnllby. of New Haven, and N. A. .. .u. ,1 Bristol. These men he induced mtn wcral monev-mttk ing scheme . 1 hiin. in 1536 Air. An drews got the Florida fever and went to see the famou- Deland. who lias made a fortune col< i> .t he flowery State. He became enthusiastic on the money to be made ;t Florida lumber, mid canto Norm. Mr. i'iallby put 2.00 ft into the venture. Messrs. Riggs nud Alvord went South with him witeu he returned to Florida, lie went in a schooner lilted out expen sively a' Ni v 11. ycn. and landed at l'a latka. Tiic .i'c lie went up the river to Delund, and tie : co four ntiles further into the sw in. and forests of Highland Park, where he established the second largest sawmill iu that Btate on the land of Major Nfirris, who atlvauced some money to gel the enterprise located there. He obtained one big railroad coutraet,but after that he failed disastrously, lumber going down to eight dollars and ten dol lars. Still he worked hard and tried to pull through. It is said lie treated his ' black help like a slave driver, and many threats were made against his life by them. His wife weut to Florida that win ter and stayed with him The following summer Air. Andrews was troubled with malarial fever, and at times, it is said, showed symptoms of in sanity. He got behind in business and became very discouraged, lie raised all he could on his Naugattick property, and got the advances from his father-in-law, A. R. Hill, of Moosun. The next heard of him was the tumor that lie had disap peared mysteriously. His brother-in law, W. R. Young, had gone down to sec him on January 3, and learned that noth ing had been heard of him for a week or more. A reward of $5OO was offered for any news of him, dead or alive, and n placard containing this announcement, with his picture and a full description of him, was scattered ail over the fc'tate. Attorney Baldwin of Nuugatuck was employed by the distressed wife to go to Florida and make a search for him. He had been seen at Deland on December 28,1885, and and on January 1, 1886, be was seen in AVightman A (.'ristopher's store oil Bay street, Jacksonville. That was the last] heard of litrn far as known. lit, part- j tiers subsequently attempted to c ,rry 011 the bttsines without him, but i year following tin whole establishment ..timed down without insurance. The evidence that Andrews had been murdered by some one of his help was thought to be so conclusive by the .Ma sonic fraternity, 0 which Andrews be longed, that the $2,000 insurance he had in their association was paid over to Mrs. Andrews, and she, in turn, paid Mr. Alaltby the money lie had lent her hus- JOHMSTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1889. band. The man's property, valued at 1 nearly $40,000, was heavily mortgaged, j and the Nuugatuck Bank forclosed, and 1 for a while carried the estate, until the j father of Mis. Andrews, who had a second I mortgage, purohushed j! for his daughter Ito help Iter alone. She tried to collect a \ $lO,OOO policy on his life held by a Hart- ! ford company but they refused to pay, ! supposing him alive, and the woman, rather than bother with a lawsuit, let the matter drop. Since Ids departure the es | tatc became somewhat complicated, and now that he is proved alive many suits ' arc apt to follow. When lie returns, as I is expected in a few thus. there will he much interest in the tale of his rumblings for the past three years. Andrews was of more than medium height, with sandy beard and dark eyes. As a business man lie was shrewd and ca pable, and lie was an interesting talker on familiar subjects. How We Look to Stranger*. A citizen of Chester county visited this city a few days ago. and gives to the West Chester Jfffernunian Iti.s impressions. He Bays that although the debris occasioned by the flood litis been largely removed, lite place is still a scene of des olation and distress. To one unacctu toin il to the sight it produces a feeling of gloom and depression, and unleso a per son's presence is required iu affording re lief to sufferers or in assisting to rebuild the waste places the desolate spot is left behind with a feeling of satisfaction such as would be experienced if some great sense of depression had been removed. The evidences of tlie terribly destructive effects of the raging torrent continue to be visible on every side, although not so striking its they were weeks ngo. The odor is very offensive, and cannot fail to pollute the atmosphere and render 'the locality unhealthy, lit conversed with several intelligent sufferers whose appear ance indie;.vd that the great calamity hud Impressed upon them an air of ex treme deji. tion. They referred to the distribution of the immense fund that had been sn liberally contributed for helping the people as prodding with apparent delay, which to sotne appeared unnecess ary: but not a single intimation was made that the nt mcy was not being used in a strictly honorable manner. Air. James" McAlillen, the chid official of,the distrib uting committee, said that any sums which itad not been forwarded would be gladly received and employed for the purpose designed with as much prompti tude us is consistent with the exercise of I sound die-action. A considerable amount |is yet required to relieve immediate wants. O, eoutse, the just and prop, , disbuisciucul of so large a fund demands the utmost care and judgment. He forth :■ said that if those entrusted with the a:, at raised in West Chester, or other | lut s. | referred to attend to its •Itstc. utlon personally on the ground liter would 1.0 kindly received by the < committee, and any information desired would be cheerfully given them. If sent I to the Finance Committee it would be j handled to the best possible advantage.' and Hit } would lie pleased if il would be lorwar . d at an early day. Kilted mi the Pennsylvania Rnllroaili Air. William Hurlehy has becu taking contracts for the cleaning out of cellars, and boarded with Mrs. O'Neal at No. 6 Center street, Prospect. On his way to his boarding house shortly afternoon on Saturday, in crossing the P. It. R. tracks he crawled under a stationary freight train which moved before lie could get out and fataliy crushed him, injuring him iu the breast and mangling one leg. Air. Gibson, of the Cambria Hospital, bound up the wound as best he could, and 11 stretcher being procuicd the wounded man was taken to the P. it. it. station to await the arrival of a doctor, who came but did not nt oiloe attend him and he was taken to the Red Cross Hos pital. After his removal there he was cared for by Drs. H. F. Beam and J. ('. Sheridan, but their work was in vain. A messenger went for a priest of St. John's Church, but both were sick, and j before Father Alto, of the German Cat 1.-. olic Church, arrived the tnan was dead. The remains were taken to Henderson Alorguc, where they now arc, and pre pared for burial, which will be in Lower Yoder cemetery. The home of Air. Hurlehy, was in Brooklyn, where he was employed as a clerk in the postollice. Ills father is David Hurlehy, a cooper by trade, w-lto lias three other sons and one daughter. For some time the unfortunate young man has been employed at Little Washington, at a good salary, leaving on hearing of ottr disaster he came here ! several days after and took charge of a \ gang of men tinder Mr. McKnight. !
