Miss Mary TJorton, a handsome young lady of barely IS summers, passed through the union depot yesterday evening wiser but sadder tban she was about a year ago. She carried in her arms an infant about 2 months of age. Her story is a sad but truthful one of a romantic marriage. ; Her 'home is in Flem-ingsburg, Flem-ingsburg, Ky., and l a few' short summers ago she became deeply ' inamored of a young man there. Iler parents objected ob-jected to the 'suit, but one night -the young couple 'packed their goods, took th e first train for the nearest town, and were married as soon as possible. Then they continued to Nevada, where for a short time they lived a happy life. The young man took to drink, however. Matters became so desperate that she could stand the life no longer. She determined to get borne as best she could with her infant babe. She had not the heart to write to her parents par-ents for assistance. She had sufficient money to take her to St. Louis. Arriving Arriv-ing here penniless, she became despondent despond-ent and threatened to kill herself unless some assistance was rendered her. Rind-hearted Rind-hearted Matron Frazer took np a collection at the depot and succeeded in getting sufficient suf-ficient moiey to pay her way to Cincinnati. The girl went on her way last night in a better frame of mind. She appear to be of a well-to-do family, and would not give the nam of the nun she left behind. ' - -' ft. a j . i ' . |
