Last Mardi'Gras day two sisters from
an interior town in Arkansas visited this
city, and tits claimed fell victims to the
wiles Of q married man who was a
friend OF the family to which they be-
longed. The girls remained here and
took refuge in a house of ill-fame where
they are at present. The mother of the
girls is almost crazy over the ruin Of her
daughters, and has made every effort to
induce them to return home, but in vain.
1t would not be surprising if some trages
dy would be the result, as the relatives Of
the ruined girls swear vengeance against
the destroyer CT their virtue.
