A MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Pennsylvania Girl Who Disappeared
Not Dead But Married.

The mystery of the disappearance of
Miss Gertie Wagner, about which all
Braddock has been talking for three
weeks says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette of July 22d, is at last explained.
Miss Gertie is not dead, as every one
thought; she's married. Her husband
is one w. +. Denneky. The Miss
Wagner that was is II years old, pretty
and the niece of the senior member of
the firm of Wagner g. Company, dry
goods merchants. Denneky is "a years
old, comes from Salem, o., has been in
Braddock only five months, and is en-
ployed as q telegraph operator at the
Baltimore g. Ohio switch tower at the
Edgar Thompson Steel Works. Shortly
after his arrival Denneky met and loved
Miss Wagner, and they entered into
reciprocity treaty which the uncle and
guardian of the girl refused to ratify.
Still they kept on loving each other,
and because they did Miss Gertie and
her uncle quarreled. He wanted her to
wait until she was older before she be-
| gan to think of matrimony and she
wouldn't. She told her lover that he
must not expect to become her uncle's
nephew with Mr.. Wagner's consent,
and so they decided to elope. Denneky
was not quite ready aud his sweetheart
refused to stay in Braddock any longer,
so they planned the disappearance act.
| Gertie left mysteriously three weeks
ago, taking with her nothing but the
clothes she was wearing. She left in
the dead of night, and when her relatives
thought she was sleeping she was
travelling TO her hiding place, which
| rumor says was only short distance
from Braddock. So carefully was the
secret kept that no one on the outside
has yet learned the location of the street.
They hunted for her, dragged the river
and mourned her as dead.
When everybody had reached the
conclusion that the mystery of Gertie
Wagner would remain mystery for an
indefinite time, Denneky asked for a ten
days leave of absence. He got it on
Wednesday, and on Thursday he and
Gertie were in the house of a minister
at Cumberland, Nd, blushing "like
everything" When they came out Den
neky was a relative by marriage to Ger
tie, and both were just as glad as they
could be. They stopped in Cumberland
long enough to write to friends in Brad
dock anG tell them all about it, and then
they went to the scashore to hear what
the untamed breakers had to say about
it, They will be home soon, as Den
nelly's leave of absence has not long to
run, and if the Wagner latch-string is
not out they will go on living Just the
same as if they had never known their
