erdgc cIlIzea, as be paused 10 lJyA n HE -au
cergege, toOk lao thought farther than thai
u aas a funeral, ike hundreds which tzke
place every year; the las Ing away IN our
lovely, silent city OF the desd OF perhaps 4
parents iOndesi hope, or some fond parent,
torn IRON the arms o; his loving family by
impartial death, the red reaper who neither
knows nor shows mercy. But thai funeral
Of yesterday was more than an ordinary
one;
THAT BLACK UEAEsE
contained a mothers n, a.e-t sorrow, the
result Of young and trusting girls one
false step. That funeral was expressive Of
the greatest anguish, trials sOrroWs, Tears,
wreichedness, that q mother or daughter
can know, all brought about by the black
heartedness Of man, who no longer can be
considered worthy Of ID honorable name.
There is little rcd Of telling the story, as
il is a familiar one;
woNAN's WEAKNESS AND MANS PEGFIDY;
but IN this case the intent and purpose
were dOubly GiabOlical, considering the
fact that the man was married, with fam
lily OF his own, and the girl a frall and
trustful creature OF s.Xteyr. The latter
was employed in 4 manufacturing establish
ment in this city, in which her seducer was
the bookkeeper. He was considerably
older than his victim, and in all probable
ity, il was owing 10 the fact Of the greet dis
parity in theiI ages that her ruin was the
more easily accomplished, a. being the Ia
ther of family she VJuld.have been slow
er 10 suspect his designs than il he had been
some wild and thCughtless young rake
WHOSE INTENTIONS WERE MANIFEST.
Being employed in the same establishment
they were naturally thrown together great
deal, and by nature gifted with an oily
tongue, pleasing presence and insinuat-
ing manners, he succeeded by his wiles in
corrupting the innocent girl and led her
slowly but surely along the path to ruin.
The intimacy was inaugdrated some time
ago, and kept a secret until the evidences
that something was wrong became so appar-
ent that cOncealment was an impossibility.
In short the girl became elcieHte, and it was
then that the horrible truth burst upon the
mother that her child had been degraded,
brought down from virtues high plane TO
THE LEVEL OF TIE WOMAN
against whom the doors of society are shut,
and all 10 satisfy the bestial passions Of a
fend. The feelings OF the mother can mel
Their be imagined nor described; ii was like
the tearing asunder Of the heartstrings, the
sundering OF the soul and body, 10 discover
tina. her daughter had so fallen. A short
time ago her sedUcer sent her to ST. Louis,
but from which city she was brought back
10y her mother; she was then sent to En-
poria, where she died in childbirth few
days ago. Whether an abortion had been
committed or not Is not definitely known,
although such is the rumor. The body Of
THE INJURED GIRL
was brought to this city day before yester-
day, and yesterday was consigned u. the
tomb. Her seducer has hld the city, TAX
ing his family with him, snd up 10 the
present time nothing Is know9 Of bis
whereabouts. His is a crime which can
not sit Jig ty, and : long as he lives
