BETRAYED AND DESERTED.

Sad Story of a Young WOmdH IN Search
of the destroyer of Her Happiness.
On last Thursday, says Greenfield, o..
correspondent of The Cincinnati CONNER
cial tramp, accompanied by handsome
little woman, with small babe, probably
five or six months old, arrived in town. The
tramp gave his name as Mayors, by profess
sion newspaper reporter, but by force of
circumstances tramp. He says his brother
is the editor of German newspaper in CO.
lumbus The woman's name is Fanny Ash
enfelter, her parents living at Mt. Carmel,
Adams county, o., where, according to ter
story, they are well-to. do. After arriving in
town, and nights sleep on the hay i'll 6
livery stable, Mayors said he had tale to
unfold, and wanted an audience with some
reporter. The Commercials modest young
man was the one he found, and We now
give his story. He began with giving some
of his experience, but this
was uneventful, So We omit
it. But what he told after this we will not
omit. On last Sunday afternoon Mayors
was tramping along a road about fifteen
miles from Louisville, KY, when he came
up with this woman, who was struggling
along, carrying this babe, and in a most
lost ana deplorable condition. She asked
him few questions and wanted to know how
far it was to Cincinnati. He told her, one
question bringing another, until she confided
to him her piteous story, which We now give.
About a year ago young man by the name
of Dick Whaley, from Greenfield, o., came
to work at her fathers at Mount Carmel.
She fell in love with this fellow, who is now
the author of her ruin. They wanted to
marry, but this, on her parents part, would
not be heard. Whaley finally persuaded her
to elope. To this she consented. They
came to this place, ana hiring buggy drove
the same night to Sabina, where they took
train on the Mama Valley railroad for Co
lumbus. From here they went to
Muncia, Ind, where Whaley prom
ised to marry her, which he did not
do. He got job of work there which did
not last long, when they went to New Or
leans. Here she was delivered of child.
After getting over the consequent sickness
Whaley deserted her without dollar in her
hands. Before leaving he paid the doctors
bill. Since that time she has only heard once
from him; no was then in Muncie. But
still clineirg and loving him, she started out
on a tramp of over a thousand miles with
her fstherless child to reach him. Part of
the way she made on foot, and theremainder
stealing rides on trains. She finally reached
Louisville, and again started on walk for
Cincinnati, and was then on the road when
met by Mayors. About six hours before ne
came up with her she had become as weak as
child, and while in this condition had let
the babe fall from her arms, by which one
of its arms was broken. She was wan
dering about carrying the tortured babe and
crying most piteously, when Mayors took her
in charge and to the next towm, where its
arm was set. From there they came on to
Cincinnati and to this place. She would not
go to Whaley's parents, who live here, but
stayed all day of Friday in stable On the
fair grounds bsdded with straw. On yester-
day night she started out on another tramp
for Muncie, where she thinks Whaley is.
Notwithstanding all her troubles and trials,
she is still good looking, but ashamed Or
afraid to return to her parents home in
Mount Carmel. They have not heard from
her since the day she left, but we think her
tramp is useless, as we have positive knowl-
edge that Whaley is now in hiding at this
place. This is MED by his father, but his
mother says he is here.
