Few who have lived in this colony during recent years hut will get to hear of the death of Mr. Arthur Bernard Radyk, which took place at the Hospital inst night, after a painful illness of over a month... Mr. Rodyk was still ́a young man, two years short of forty, but in his brief life he had a more eventful career than in the lot of many. Born in Penang, son of the late distinguished head of the old firm of Rodrk and Davison, the leading legnt bouse in the Stratie, Mr. Rody's ardent disposition early led to his Night from the parental roof, and after many ons and downs in the course of which be visited the United States and sampled several different pro- fensione, be ultimately brought up in Hongkong, and beenme articled clerk to Mr. J.

A exceedingly difficult operation was performed, and the absces was successfully removed, but the strain was too much, and Mr. Radęk passed away last night, at a quarter to seven: The funeral took place this afternoon, and wLI attended by the Acting Chief Justico and a large number of professional and personal friends.

Mr. Lidderdale, who is about thirty years of sue, was the manager of a bank st ilminister, married to a lady to whom he had been engaged Somersetshire. He was on the point of being for some time, and the fac's that he bad been bustly engaged in preparing for the ceremony. and that bis business affairs have been found to be in order, add to the mystery of his dis appearance.

The Press Association ways:There is little doubt that Mr. Liddesdale was kidnapped by a lady admirer who had on several occasions in letters addressed to Mr. Lidderdale-epistles which he bad shown to certain of bis very intimate friends-expressed her determination of never permitting him to become the husband of another, and one of the letters, at least, is stated to have contained a threat to marder. The lady is an American, a spinster of about thirty years of age who up to recently had a flat to the neighbourhood of Westminster. Thus much has been ascertained. She is also said to be a woman of large means, and to keep a racht; not, however, the Foresight, for there is no such vessel registered. The announce. ment of Mr. Lidderdale's death has been believed all along to be a blind." That the missing bank manager is on the vessel owned br this lady, and that a successful strategy on her part placed him where he is now involuntarily confined. is not doubted by those who have been entrusted with the search.

Another account states that when Mr. Lidder. dale left Ilminister he had in his packet £5,000, drawn from his own private, account. for the purpose, it was thought, of expenditure In connection with approaching marriage. He came to Paddington, where he made a call in his friends have heard nothing of his whereabouts the distsfer; and from that time to the present When he left Ilminister he stated that he was about to proceed to Australia to complete the purchase of some property there, but it was niso anderetend that the voyage would take the form of honeymoon trip.

We understand that among the friends of Mr. Lidderdale at Ilminister very little credence is placed in the theory of his baving been "abducted” by a lady. American or other.
