steamer tug Gladisten. She sailed from
Brunswick January 4, and enroute had
heavy gales during the entire passage.
January she began to leak badly. On
the 9TH portion of the cargo was jetti-
soned. On the 9Th an extremely severe
storm was encountered, and it was
thought the vessel must go down. The
captain with difficulty prevented the
crew from taking to the boats and de-
serting the ship. When she arrived here
there were six feet OF water in her hold.
The British schooner, Mineiota OF
of Windsor, N. S.. was towed into St.
Georges harbor the 10th inst. She was
picked up by the tug GIadisfen twenty
miles south of St. Davids. waterlogged

Alderman Starnes, for the standpipe
committee, recommended that the Board
advertise for bids for rebuilding the
standpipe, of iron, rs feet high. the old
iron to be used. The committee also
recommended that bids for the construc-
ton of wooden tank 20 feet high be

be only temporary until a reservoir can
be built. The report was adopted. with
Cummings.
Messrs. Mcdowell and Miller were

Ellis. a veteran conductor on the Old
Colony railroad
Ab6nt the Doctor.
About IS months ago DIR. Ames came TO
this place from Whitman and secured
apartments at the Ellis homestead. Ho
onened AN office and had a lucrative prac-
tice. DR. Ames became great favorite IN
the nlace and entered into society. His ac-
opaintance with Miss Ellis ripened into
love. and then followed an engagement.
He made a great impression about the
town. but it lacked the staying qualities,
and the result Is there are some creditors
here who would like TO see him.
The last seen OF the doctor was when he
was walking In the direction of Braintree,
and later he was seen in the Old Colony
depot. IL is said be took an early morning
train for New York. He did not take any
of his personal effects.
DIR. Ames was educated in n Philadelphia
college and Iracticed from homeopathic
standpoint. He has a mother visiting in
Brockton, and also a sister, who is mar
ried 10 a prominent dentist there. His
mother gave him, so Miss Ellis says, $50,
with which to buy a wedding present
The mother aud sister refused to be pres
ent at the wedding.
saved Miss Ellis' Sisters Life.
The principal reason why the doctor
made such ain impression on the Ellis
family was the fact Of saving the life of
Miss Jennie Ellis. She had a severe
stomach trouble, and all efforts TO cure
her were unavailing, IL being necessary TO
feed her with tube. She is now all well,
and TO the doctor she owes- her existence
n DIR. Ames has a career in Stoughton
which is interesting. He went there about
four years ago and was for two years as
sistant with DIR. Faxon, having an office
i'm Monks block and boarding at the Parker
House.
AT the time OF his leaving towr he was
reputed to be in financial difficulties, and
is known to have owed quite bill at the
hotel for board, for which the proprietor
sued him and attached his Office furniture,
finally recovering about 80 cents on a
dollar, although the attachment did not
hold, as the furniture was never paid for.
Friends of the doctor, and he seems TO
have many left in Stoughton, claim that
the death of his wife. who was Lydia
Leonard OF Canton, and whose long sick
ness with consumption had sadly depleted
his funds, may have been the first cause
of his financial difficulties.
The doctor was also n blacking manu-
facturer, and Mrs. Ellis was ready to ad-
vance 500 TO start him in the business.

SOUTH BRAINTREE, Mass, Oct @.-
Next Tuesday DIR. Charles +. Ames,
prominent physician OF this village. and
Miss Hattie Howard Ellis were to have
been married at the residence OF the brides
parents on Washington street The pro-
spective bride Is still at her home but the
prospective bridegroom is missing.
He left his home about S:45 O'Clock
Wednesday evening, and his present where
abouts, dead or alive, is what an anxious
young girl desires to know at this time.
When he left he said he was going to coll
lect bill OF Miss Fidella Randall, who
resided short distance from DR.. Ames'
residence, which was at the home OF Miss
Ellis.
Finally. about $50 o'clock, Miss Ellis
became uneasy, and she and her father
went in search OF the missing doctor. lie
was nowhere 70 be found. An inquiry at
Miss Randall's revealed the fact be had
been there but Is minutes and had col
lected about 50.
The young girl who promised to be his

missing physician was instituted, but TO
no avail. and then the thought flashed

Premeditated.
Since then facts have made IL apparent
that such is not the case, but that the
doctor has unccrsmoniously disappeared,
and may not put in an appearance very
soon, although his marriage is announced
TO take place next Thursday.
The bride has her wedding trousseau all
prepared; in fact, every possible prepara-
tion was made for the event. The florist
was ordered TO decorate the parlors, and
Rev. Mr.. Ellsworth was engaged TO make
the couple man and wife. Judge Marden
Of Stoughton was requested to act as best
man, aud accepted the trust, but his serv-

trunks were AZ prspared, and every possi-
