Rev. W. A. Selly Not Heaid
From.
Tbe family and friends of Rey. W. A.
Kelly are still in ignorance of bis where;
abouts abd in great distress on account of
his disappearance Any thread of informa?
tien that may lead to bis discovery, if com?
municated to Krs. Kelly or her father, Dr.
Clifton in this city, will be appreciated by
them.
The following further facts are copied from
The State of to-day :
Charleston, Dec. 28 -Tbe Rev/Wm. Aiken
Kelly, a youoj minister who was recently
admitted to the Methodist conference of this
SUte, bas been missing for over a week and
bis friends are very anxious about bim. He
bas a church in Sumter. Ten days ago he
came to this city accompanied by bis wife
and child to spend the Christmas holidays
with friends. The Sunday before Christmas
be preached an excellent sermon at Bethel
church. On the following Tuesday be made
an appointment in tba morning to meet his
wife and some friends at a point near tbeeity.
He then left tbe hocse at which he was stay?
ing and has not been seen since. His wife
says that be bad worked very hard preparing
for his examination at the conference of his
church and she thinks that his mind gave
way under the strain and tbat he has wander?
ed away. She does not fear foul play, bnt she
is afraid that he is ill somewhere and nuable
to communicate with bis friends. Once
before, after a period o? hard stpdy, the
young minister left home and was not heard
of for four days. He came to himself then
in Augusta, Ca. The Rev. Mr. Kelly is
about 36 years of age. His father was for
years city assessor of this city and he and his
family are widely known and popular in
South Carolina.
There Is Hq Clue Yet.
No trace bas been found of the Rev. Wil?
liam Aiken Kelly, who disappeared myste?
riously from Charleston nearly two weeks
ago. Every effort has been made to locate
his whereabouts, but so far all these have
failed. The police d?partaient at Charleston
has been at work on tbe case; and bas com?
municated with the authorities in other cities.
The fact of Mr. Kelly's disappearance bas
been given wide circulation through the
Associated Press, and many letters nave been
received here regarding binn, though abso?
lutely no cloe bas been found on which the
detectives can work.
Mr. Kelly will bave been away from Char?
leston two weeks on Tuesday. His absence
and tbe lack of news from bim has caused a
terribie strain on his family and friends, and
any information abont him would be gladly
received.-Sunday News, Jan. 1.
Nothing bas yet been beard from or con?
cerning Rev. William Aiken Kelly, who dis?
appeared from Charleston over two weeks
?go. lt was stated in the Augusta Herald
on Saturday last that Mr. Kel ly was seen ju
Augusta by a personal friend several days
subsequent to bis disappearance from Char?
leston and that be appeared to . be perfectly
rational and io good health.

were so shocked and lacerated that she began
to yell at the top of her voice and kept oo
yelling until Policeman Seymour arrived on
tbe scene and took ber in charge. Mayor
Wilson imposed a hoe of $2 apiece on George
and Heterogenoos anjr warned the one not to

Railroad Talk.
From persons who saw bim while here, it
is learned that a railroad contractor of large
experience and means was here and went over
the line of the Snmter and Wateree Rirer
Railroad during tbe past few days, with the
intention of taking the entire contract for
building the road. He returned to bis borne
in Virginia last night, and said that it is his
intention to sign up at once and commence
work immediately-perhaps io a week. He
said that the work will be rosbed through ia
90 days, and that trains will be running into
this city by April 15th. The writer was
unable to get a confirmation of this news
from Col. Blanding, but the party who con?
versed with the contractor, and furnished the
information is entirely reliable. The same
party, continuing on the subject of railroad
stated that surveyors are now at work,
ruo Bing lines for the proposed extension of
the Wilson railroad beyond Sumter, and he
bad reason to believe that work wjll be com?
menced on it the coming spring or summer.
