THE MISSING WIFE.
MRS. WESLEY ALEXANDER LEAVES
THE HOME OF HER HUSBAND,

Rumors Connecting the Name of Police
oncer with Her Departure-Her Hus-
baRd Did Not Take Her to BaIIs-Two
Children Left Behind.
Mr. and Mrs Wesley Alexander were
reported to have lived happily at No 2l
East Twenty second street. Ninth ward
None Of the neighbors knew anything to
the contrary, aud as the women Of that
locality are gossipy it is probable that
they would have known il any unpleas-
antness existed. Wesley was an Indus
trious blacksmith, an employe Of
the Jackson and Sharp Company, sober
and attentive TO his business-and said to
earn good wages The wife was extraya
CANT ard careless, paying little attention
to their domestic comfort and seeking
only to secure her wn leisure Whether
this disparity in their character
occasioned any little squabbles or not Is
a question on which the neighbors are
without information.
They had been married for nearly four
years and two children were born, the
Oldest boy now over two years and the
youngest girl four months old
Latterly, 1t Is said, that Mrs. Alex
bors that Wesley, her husband, neglected
her and failed TO take her TO balls and
parties. and she, it is further stated in
timated that she would leave him and
elope with another man.
On Saturday morning the husband
went TO work but when he returned the
wife was gore snd nothing has since been
heard about her either BY her husband or
any of her relatives.
The two children were left behind and
when Mr.. Alexander found out that his
wife was not going TO return he brought
them to his mothers house where they
are now cared for.
Various and conflicting stories are told
about Mrs. Alexander's departure One
connects member OF the police force
with the story. and the rumors were that
both had eloped to Baltimore. All the
officers have reported for duty, but still
It is said that a policeman is responsible
for her departure. Another story is that
she has not yet left the city, but has
become an inmate Of house on Eleventh
street. The latter report Is not credited,
and the most generalyaccepted one is that
her parsmour has taken quarters in
Chester for her while he yet lives in this
city. the nelghbors all praise the good
qualities Of the husband and declare that
the fault is not his. Many stories are
told Of the dissipation and extravaganza
of Mrs Alexander, which were beyondwhat
q workingman could afford Only few
weeks ago the husband purchased for her
8 new satin dress and bonnet, and in this
she was seen to leave home Saturday
morning. She also brought away with
her some clothing and personal effects
and any money she could lay hands on
Mr.. Alexander has not reported the
matter to the police or made any effort tc
ascertain her whereabouts.
