" Dan McIntyre's Disappearance. The disappearance of the well known citizen, Mr. Daniel McIntyre, on Wednesday evening, is still a mystery, and is a matter of anxious and painful suspense to his family and friends who have spared no expense in their efforts to find the missing man. The watchman of the City of Madison says that a man answering the description of Mr. McIntyre boarded that boat at this place about two o'clock yesterday morning and that he was seen on the after deck of the boat about twelve miles below here after when time all trace of him is lost. The family fears that he met his death in the Ohio river and his son John McIntyre offers a reward of twenty-five dollars for the recovery of his body, or if alive for information that will lead to his restoration to his family. We still hope that Uncle Dan who was physically a hale and hearty man may yet turn up all right. "

Mr. John McIntyre, for over fifty years a familiar figure on our streets, and who for years has successfully operated the transfer passenger and freight wagons bearing his name, dropped dead this morning about eleven o'clock at the family residence on West Third street. Mr. McIntyre had been suffering from gastritis and heart trouble, and had been practically an invalid for some months. he realized his lease on life was short, and had so informed his family, even going so far in the last few days as to name Mr. Vail as his undertaker. This morning he came down stairs as usual, but appeared unsettled, and started to go up stairs again. Reaching the top, he fell forward on his face into his room, and soon expired. He was a son of the late Mr. Daniel McIntyre, an early-day Madisonian, and was born in this city nearly sixty years ago. He was a loyal and patriotic citizen, a staunch Republican, and took a lively interest in public affairs. He was a member of Juniata Tribe of Red Men, the Haymaker's Association, and Washington Fire Co. No. 2. He leaves a wife and three young children, two boys and a little girl. He also leaves a stepson, Mr. John M. Collins, a splendid young man, who has lately managed the business, and upon whom now falls a double duty, which will be splendidly performed. "
