hand on the wicket gate, quietly reviewing

waving gently, the roses were rustling their
silvar-tipped leaves, and the white moonlight
fen upon the grnves. Stillwith her hand upon

stood still, and she was there waiting for

CUBAN FRUIT DEALER LEAVES HIS FAMILY
AND DISAPPEARS WITH A YOUNG GIRL
Norfolk, Va, is alive with a scandal senSa-
ton in consequence of the elopement of John
lsidore, of that city. and Miss Minnie Bur
roughs, of Portsmouth, a beautiful young Iady
OF IL years. lSidOre is a native of Cuba, and
was educated on that island to the profession
OF the law. He Joined the insurgents. and was
the only one of Ii prisoners who escaped death
at the hands of the Spanish authorities LPay-
ing the island he settled at jacksonville, Fla.
and engaged in the fruit business. While
there he married a lady, a native of New
York, now living, and by whom he has two iu-
tereStlng children. He came to Norfolk last
year In perfect restitution, and stopped at the
furnished capital for ISidore to commence a
small fruit business in Norfolk. The business
appeared 10 prosper, and eventually another
store was bought out, under the Masonic Tenn
pie, and a ladies and gentlemen'S saloon
added to his confectionery business Here,
toe, all appeared to 60 well until the Christ
mas mondays, when the rush of customers re-
CURED additional help in the store, and a very
pretty maiden OF Portsmouth was employed
as a clerk. Although Miss Burroughs was
only few weeks i'm his employ guilty love
was mutually formed, which eliminated in
the absconding of IsidOre and Miss Burroughs
on the Baltimore steamer, TO what destination
Is az present unknown. ISidOre started for
Philadelphia, OStensibly to buy goods for the
spring trade. and took with him not only the
prohtS made In the two stores but also Dor
rOWed from MIR. Barker every dollar he could
command. Miss Burroughs left under the
preteXt OF visiting her relatives. The suppesi-
ton now is that the guilty pair were paSSen-
gers ON the steamship Richmond, which sailed
are adduced to show that this theory is cor
rect. Mrs. lsidOre and the children have been
sent to her friends in New York by the kind
ness of Mr. Barker. Miss Burroughs was nm
derstood to be engaged to be married to a
very respectable young gentleman who for
years had been devoted to her.

ABDUCTED BY HER MoTHER.-The n. Y.
Tribune of the 10Th says: Emil Mayer married
a young widow in Germany, in 1873, and
brought her to America, leaving her only
child, little girl, then about year old, in the
care OF his parents i'm Germany. He started a
restaurant at No. 46 Delaney street, and i'm the
following year his parents and the little girl
followed him to this country. About eighteen
months ago Mr.. Mayer discovered that his
wife Bertha was not true to him. He insti-
tuted proceedings for divorce and obtained
one. A year ago he separated from her, and
the custody of the child was given to him. Tie
mother has borne a bad reputation since the
separation. Yesterday afternoon the little
girl was playing in front of the restaurant,
and was soon afterwards missing. A man
who was known to have been intimate with
the mother, had been seen Just before by a
neighbOr, and the suspicious of the father that
his wife had abducted the child were further
confirmed an hour after by the receipt of the
following telegram: Il have the child. Ii is
all right. Bertha Mr.. Mayer immediately
gave notice to the police, but up to late hour
last night the search for the missing child had
not been successful.
