Yesterday afternoon q REGISTER reporter
called upon Mrs. Sehwarz at her residence
on the South Side, and was welcomed BY
the lady, who proved to be q pleasant
featured German woman, residing in aframe
house Just south Of the Female College.
She was willing to talk about her
UNFORTUNATE MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURE
and told the following story: "My first
husbands name was Frederick Weisner,
who was an iron-worker, working at the
Whitaker mill, where l have two sons also
at work. My husband died about a year
ago, and since that time | have been having
hard struggle to get along. About two
months ago Mr.. Schwarz commenced com.
ing to see me at different places where |
was at work, asking me to marry him. Ny
friends advised me to have nothing to do
with him, as he was addicted to drunken
ness, and was generally unreliable, but
Schwarz succeeded in hoodwinking me
effectuslly, saying among other things that
he owned property in Cleveland and that
he would reform if | would marry him. Well.
to make a long story short. | agreed tc
marry him, and
THE CEREMONY
was performed by Rev Merwine pastor o.
the Market Street German Church, OIL
April 9th. NY husband at once stopped
his work and did nothing whatever, lyint
about the house all day long. About
week after the marriage / insisted on his
going to work, and he said he" would if }
would get him horse and wagon. had
little money saved up through hard work
and We bought horse at one place on
Main street and a wagon at another. Mr.
Schwarz used the team until last Friday
week, on which day he hitched up the horse
and said he WAC going to buy o bale
OF lay. He drove off, and from
mat lime to- this l have seen
nothing of him. | am satisfied he went up
the river, and a few days ago sent his
photograph to some friends at Steub enville
with request to keep a lookout for him
| also sent letter to the Pittsburg Chief Of
Police. Schwarz is heavy set man
above the medium height, with a sandy
mustaChe and a bad scar on the bridge Of
his nose, which was once broken"
Some Of Mrs. Schwarz's neighbors refer
to her as hard.workiny, reputable woman
but denounce her runaway husband as be
ing generally worthless.
