Looking for Her Lover
Among the passengers that arrived on
the steamer Ems. of the Bremen Line, in
Hoboken, on Monday, was buxom Ger
man girl. She walked up and down the
pier long after the other passengers had
left and seemed to be looking for some
one. Yesterday she was again on the
dock and fingered about all day.
This morning she was noticed about the
dock by the Custom House officers She
was walking toward the end of the pier
and had queer look on her face The
Custom House officers intercepted her, as
they feared that she was about to commit
suicide She denied any intention of
committing suicide, and upon being ques-
toned, told the following story
MY name is Lena Heidrich / lived
with my parents on the outskirts of
Berlin. / met and fell in love with
Henry Muhlenbach and we were engaged
to be married. About six months ago he
lett Germany to make living in Amer
ica.. He promised to write to me telling
me how he was getting along.
Il received several letters, and the last
one he sent me told me to taKe passage on
the Ems, and he would meet me at the
pier in Hob0ken. When I arrived at the
dock he was nowhere to be seen. and /
have been down here several times, but
could not find him."
When the young woman finished her
story she swooned and was revived with
considerable difficulty. She said that her
afiianced had told her that he had pros-
porous grocery business in Allentown,
Pa. The custom officers sympathized
with the young woman, and coach was
hired and she was driven to the Office of
the Commissioners of Emigration and
efforts will be made to find her tardy
lover.
