SfrmiK*' Wr.v <tf a italtiuinre Hail Who. hi <<>ni|ian.v nith wml Thounanri llollaro. Mini Keen Mls. i iitfr. New York Sun. W- H. U. Rillmire, the sexton of Mount Wrmm Methodist Episcopal chureli, who disappeared last October | with several thousand dollars which he ! had collected from the pew-renters, ar | rived home today, to the great surprise ! of his friends and the authorities who ' had been anxiously looking for him as a defaulter and absconder. Rillmiro had been sexton of the church for many yeans, was a communicant, and was looked upon as a consistent Chris tian up to the time of his disappear ance. To-day lie related his experience to a member of the church and to the civil authorities, which, if true, entitles him to nubile sympathy. Hi- narra tive, however, has several glaring in consistencies, and it is probable that the ex-sexton will be compelled to suls slantiate the truth of his statements in a court of law. In conversation with the correspondent of the Sun. to day. Rillmire gave in detail the history of his experience, which is substantially as follows; • hi the night of his disappearance he had iu his possession about s.'i.ooo be longing to the church, which he had collected from members of the congregation for pew rent. The money he took to a lodge meeting, and while there received a note informing him that his brother had been injured by a fall at Locust Point, was iu a dying condition, and wished to see him. Rillmire says that he was also informed that a hack was waiting at Rarnum's hotel to take him to his brother. 11c hurried to where the hack was waiting, and what follow ed is best told in his own words: 1 was accosted by a man who wish ed to know if I was Mr. Rillmire. I told him that was jay name, lie said he had been waiting for some time for* me. and was glad 1 bad come. I ask ed him bow my brother was hurt, and he told me in a very polite manner to step into the back and be would tell meall about it on our way down to Locust Point. I noticed, as 1 stepped in. that there was another man inside, and (hat the blind was down over the door, lie gave orders to drive to Lo cust Point as fast as possible. He be gan to tell me how my brother was hurt, and said that when he left him he was under the inlluenee of chloro form. He asked me if 1 did not detect the smell of it on him. This happened on the lonely part of the road after leaving Federal Hill going to Locust Point. I leaned forward as he held bis band out to smell when tin man beside me bit me entity bead with some heavy instrument, I suppose a billy, and knocked me on (be opposite seat. I struggled and fought withgreat strength, and was only overcome bv a handkerchief saturated with chloro form thrown around my face. When I revived I found myself on board a vessel, and upon examination dis covered that I bad been robbed of every artiele ol value my nerson. After a while the cabin when 1 1 wn- Iv ing was entered by a- man w ho, iu an swer to my questions, said that 1 had been pul on a vessel which was on the Chcspeake bay, by my friends, who said 1 had killed a man in Raltimore in a tight. After the vessel got into the ocean I was taken with brain fever, and when 1 recovered 1 found that- I was on another vessel which had picked me up adrift in an open boat at sea. This was the ship Antioch, (’apt. Weeks, bound for 1 long Kong. Rillmire savs that he was treated well by ('apt. W eeks, who allowed him I<> help the steward do the cooking for the ship's crew. Tin y reached Hong Kong on .lan. 10, bsstl, and loading with rice sailed for Vietoi ia Rrilish Columbia, where they arrived on June I last, and Captain Weeks furnished him with a suit of clothes. He had previously giv en him to. He started from Victoria from San Francisco, where he arrived June s. Four days after reaching Victoria he wrote to bis wife in ibis city giving a brief outline of bis adventures, which substantially agrees with the above. Harry Rillmire a son of the missing man, while fishing in Jones’ falls, last May, fell overboard and was drowned before assistance could be rendered, and his dea’h was unknown to his father until his arrival here. He ac counts for the length of time between his ar.ival in San Francisco and his ar rival here by saying he was penniless and compelled to work hi- way to Ral timore. Many members of the church credit Rillmhe's story. He has a wife and live children living. I'mler an K‘l i |s*. I’roin tho i'jilill Mail.
