ST. Louis, July 23. Tho Populist nnd

Tho program of tho silver convention was

doomed it good iwllcy to go slowly. In tho
belief that they might, by remaining in

mittee of seven, headed by Judgo Scott, of
California, to meet with a similar com

of reaching a common plan of action. Tho

It Is doubtful whether their courso will bo

Missing From
His Lon$r Branch Home
Ten Days.
OCATED IN A HEW YOHK HOTEL.
His Many Friends In Shenandoah and
. Vicinity Will be Pained to Learn That
Ills Mind Is Afflicted-Joined
by Ills Wife.
Tho Hr.nAi.ii a day or two ago contained
an item conveying tho information of tho
mysterious disappearance of ltev. George K.
Williams, from his homo at Long Branch,
N.J.
A week ago Monday ltev. Williams left his
homo for a short visit, as supposed by Ids
wife and friends, to New York city, llo
told them ho would bo back for prayer
meeting on Thursday evening. When
Thursday night came, and there was no
nreaclier to lead the members i" prayer, thoy
became alarmed. Sumo of the oillcers
of tho church went to New York city
and limited for their pastor, but failed to find
him.
Last Saturday Mrs. Williams received a
posfal card from her husband, saying that bo
would be homo that evening. Ho wrote
that ho had been having a good timo ot "tho
meetings." Ho failed to say whole the
meetings were.
Mrs. Williams became alarmed when ner
husband failed to return Saturday night.
Sho visited New York on Monday and re
mained until yesterday, when she returned
to Lung Branch just before tho police
located her husliand. Whllo there Mrs.
Williams said she was afraid her husband's
mind had given away, as the result of over
work. Tho New York World of this mmnlng con-
talus the following : "Thomas Koborts, pro
prietor of the hotel where tho Bov. Mr.
Williams has been stopping sinc-o his arrival
in this city, formerly kept theAdclphi Hotel,
Twenty-third street and Tenth Avenue. Ho
knew Mr. Williams when lie was a boy iu
Walos. They are old friends. Threo yeais
ago tho preacher and his family stopped at
tho Adelpld. A week ago Monday a friend
of Mr. Boberts, who also knew the preacher,
found him along tho river front. He said lie
was on his way to the" Adclphl to see Sir.
Boberts. When told that Mr. Boberts was
'in West btrect, the preacher went there.
" 'I did not know where his family was,'
said Mr. llolicrts yesterday. 'Ho would not
toll me. When ho came hero ho said ho
would stop two or three days. Ho is not in
his rigid mind. Ho is sulfering from nor
vousnes, due, probably, to overwork. He
cannot sleep. When I learned to-day tint
his family were at Long llranch, 1 tele
graphed them and nutitkd the police. 1 told
Williams what I liad done, and ho was sat
isfied. Ho said ho would go home with ids
wife if she came aftL-r him.'
"Mr. Boberts said tho preacher would re
main at his hotel last night. Tho police also
telegraphed to Long Bmneh notifying tho
police of that place that the preacher had
been found. Mrs. Williams returned to tho
city and joined her husliand late last night."
liov. Williams is well known hero, having
conducted meetings in a tent on the Baird
field and also filled the pulpit in tho Ktmllsh
Baptist ehurclwm several occasions. Previous
to going to Long Branch lie was pastor of tho
Baptist church of Mahauoy City.
