TERIoUsLY DISAPPEARS.
A special to the Commercial Gazette of Pitts
burg from Wellsburg, W. Va. says: W. r..
Ridgely one OF the most influential and highly
respected citizens of this town, has disap-
pesred. For some time he has been on very
friendly terms with his stepdaughter, pre-
possessing young woman, meeting her at va
rious points away from home, but he has wife
and family, and owing to his high standing as
member of the Episcopal church and superin-
tendent of the Sunday school nothing was sus-
pected until about three weeks ago. when his
partner found note written to his step
daughter asking her to meet him out at a GER
tain house.
Last Tuesday matters came to crisis upon
Ridgely's wife finding note written by her
husband to her daughter asking her to meet
her at '.C-h, supposed to be the Episcopal
church building, as he carried the keys to that
ed!tce. In the note he called her loving names
and said he would have quart of the .'booze. ~
The enraged wife demanded an explanation.
Rldgely being unable to furnish it she de-
manded the keys of her house and made prep
arations to have him arrested. Before the ar
rest could be effected Ridgely left for parts I'M
known. He is prominent LAWYER and also a
member OF the clothing firm of L. G. Wright Il
/ Co. The whereabouts of the couple are a mys-

Their details of the utter misery in which she
lived The man spent all his earnings in
drink and starved her She toiled beyond
her strength to gain little money for food,
and when she came home after hard days
work he snatched her wages from her and
went OFF to the public house. Then, when he
came back, no beat her because she had not
supper provided for him. There seemed no
possible element of attraction in the life she
led with him, even apart from the certainty
which was ever present in her mind that he
would compass her death at last--some des-
tined day.
Yet when the visitor, anxious to rescue
her from the sin and wretchedness of such an
existence, offered to provide,for her entirely

she was not bound by any righteous tic, she
only lifted up her hollow, mournful eyes,

Finally, in answer to the strong remon-
strances made to her on the ground at once of
the guilt and the misery of her life, she an
swered that she knew it was all true. She
suffered night and day, she owned, from
hunger and pain and i'll usage, and she could
not even pray to God to help her because of
her sin. She knew she would be murdered
in the end and she supposed her soul would
be lost, but still-"I cannot leave him-I

me to live in the queens palace; I'll go back

with him to the last hour of my life, how

might OF her passion for her destroyer, and

A Woman's Love.

There came into the prison, on a trifing
charge which did not involve long deten-
ton, one of the most pitiable looking beings
it was possible to sea woman young in
years, but haggard and wasted to the last
degree, and with a great. gaping wound, still
open, on her forehead, which seemed to have
oeen caused by blow from Ratchet She
made no difficulty in explaining how she had
received this serious injury; it had been done
by her lover, with whom she had lived some
years, though he was not her husband. "He
has a terrible temper" she said: the least
thing puts him in a fury, and then It's al
ways on me he takes revenge. Heb brought
