zen Of Tennessee, employed Washington
lawyer to prosecute a claim against the gov
eminent. The claim was allowed, and in
1882 treasury draft was made to Pdllian
and delivered to the lawyer. The latter
claimed a fee of $500. This claim he
assigned to the Decentralization National
Bank. which failed, and delivered Pullian's
| draft to the receiver of the bank. Pullian
| died in Tennessee. An administrator was
there appointed TO administer his affairs,
and an administer also appointed in the
| District of Columbia. The bank receiver
| applied to the First Comptroller to instruct
the Treasurer to pay the draft on the

a GIRLS DISGRACE.
A BLUE Grass BELLE RUINED UNDER PROM
Use OF MARRIAGE.

LOUISVILLE, April 1S-Two well-dressed
gentlemen from Gravel Switch, Marion
county, KY, were in the city yesterday,
bunting for young lady by the name Of
E:mira Hicks, who is represented as having
run away from her home near Gravel
Switch last Friday, 10 company with VIM.
Glasgow, who accomplished her ruin about
four mo this ago, and who had promised to
wed the girl under penalty of death. The
girl in question is represented as pretty
blonde, about eighteen years of age, with
large mole at the bsse Of the chin. She ia
the daughter OF a farmer, and was always
looked upon as an innocent girl until three
weeks ago, when she related the disgrace TO
her father. The old man ia good Baptist,
and went almost distracted over his
daughters conduct. He hunted up Glss-
cow and told him he must marry
the girl or suffer death. The willy
seducer promised cheerfuliy 10 do the form
er, and last Friday the two boarded the
train, stating that they were coming TO this
city TO make purchases for the weddiog out
fts Since that time nothing has been seen
| or heard OF either party. Glasgow is known
| 70 be q very shrewd schemer, and the I'M
| preston prevails tba. he has taken the girl
10 sonao house of ill-fame and deserted her.
| Yesterday the two gentlemen from Gravel
| Switch, who refused to give their names,
were in the city and visited all the West end
sporting houses, but with no success. They
refused 10 advise with the detectives, because
| it is their wish that the matter should be
kept profound secret. The gentlemen will
| probably continue their investig atoms in the
East end to-day, and if the Whereabouts OF
girl still remain a mystery, they have signi-
fed their intention of going To Cincinnati
and csnvassing that city for her. The young
Iady's aged father i, said to be heart broken
She was his only child and his housekeeper,
and the old gentleman was completely
wrapped up IN her. He has shut himself
up at his country home and refuses to zee
anyone or to be interviewed about his way
ward offspring II is said that the ruin o.
the girl is in the main due TO the sction o.
her parent. 1t was the wish Of the old gen
tleman that she should marry her cousin, I
man whom she despised. The wedding day
was fixed and due preparations made 10 cel
citrate the occasion. On The day before th'
intended marriage the young lady commu
nicated 10 her father the fact of her init
macv with Glasgow. The friends OF old maj
