CoIUMBIA, :. c., July l4.-.Alored
Suartz was the saddest man in Columbia
yesterday, for the rOsc-colorcd dream of
his mcvcnttul, hard working ilc had
been rudcly, suddenly swc 1T away by
the iaithless action of the Girl whom he
intended to make his wife. All the way
from sunny Austrit came Alfred, ju.t a
year ago, with ambition beating high
within his breast, and the sweet assur-
ancc that her whom he loved would
come Overland Join her fortunes with his,
should he make his way in the New
World.
And he did. In the course of events
he drlilcd to this city and engaged in
his trade OF b ,kcr. BY his careful mode
ot living. Alfred amasscd quite Il tidy
sum OF money, and he sent u portion of
it to his sweetheart, Marie Epple, Of Vi
cDna, with the request that she come on
at once. The young woman let her
native country at once, aud took passage
for America.
Although wild with the impatient de-
sire to see his loved one, Alfred could
not 90 TO New York to meet her and
bring her Oh to this city, and SO he
waited.
Yesterday morning Marie arrived on
the train from the Metropolis, and her
lover was waiting for her at The depot.
He had made preparations for them to
be married AT once, aud had prepared
her Il home, ,-humblc, but still Il home
Now Alfred Is almost il dwarf in size
and by no means handsome. His per-
sonal cXcellencics atOncd for this amon=
his few friends, howcv +, but his appear
au.e proved the death knell OF all his
hopes. He had looked forward to the
meeting with all the longing that his
simple mind was capable of, and his iu.
turc happiness seemed centercd in
Marie. Perhaps the fair Marc thought
ihut he would grow, nd that the air OF
the new and mystic continent would i'm.
prove his looks. When the Coast Line
train steamed into the depot early pes
, lcrday morning, Alfred was waiting AN
Niuusly at the gates. Through the win

Marie remained in the depot until tn,

She told Register reporter in broker
English that she was very mad at being
