is said that on last Christmas Day one OF
the principal young lady teachers In the
school took leave Of her scholars after the
Christmas festival, telling them
;nat she was going TO Bo..
ton, and would probably remain away
for a long time. On the same day she ex.
bibted to her parents, who are prominent
members OF the church, telegram which
purported to come from an aunt In Con.
necticut. This telegram stated that the
aunt was very sick, and the latter request.
ed her niece to come to her bedside at
once. Her parents considered that the
matter was strange, inssmuch IS the aunt
usually communicated with them and not
with their daughter. The latter, however,
pleaded with tears to be allowed to 60 to
her dying aunt. Finally the young lady's
trunk was packed and she departed. Sew.
era days having passed and the parents not
receiving any word from their daughter,
they began to grow uneasy and the mother
determined to follow her. Upon arriving
at her sisters home In Connecticut she
found her daughter there, but the revels-
ton was made 10 the anxious parent that
the daughter
WOULD BECOME A MOTHER
in few weeks. The latter told a pitiful
story OF the love and confidence she had
placed Ia Trippler. 1t had not been no.
ticed that the secretary had paid more at
tention to the young lady than he had to
other teachers Ia the school, and the intel.
igence that Trippler had accomplished
their daughters ruin BY promises which he
was not in position to keep, being mar.
ripd. so infuriated the parents Of the unfor.
tunate girl that they at once determined to
begin proceedings against him. They were
DESTROYS, however, Of protecting their
daughters good name, and tried to find, il
possible, other means TO right the wrong.
Tine father Of the young girl has been some
what deranged since he has been informed
OF his daughters fall, and several times
threatened to shoot Trippler. The latter,
having heard OF his danger, left the city
Saturday after stormy interview with Mr..
Baldwin, superintendent OF the school, dur.
