Bethr0thed Waited in
Vain For Her Lover.
BRIDAL GOWN WAS READY.
Some Think Foul Play ID Connected
With Young Mans Absence.

Pawtucket now has another case of
mysterious disappearance ard this time
the circumstances are different from any
other case that has been brought to the
notice of the public and the result Is that
a hie hly respectable young lady who ex-
pected to be made a bride Wednesday
evening at 7:30 O'Clock Is still q maiden
and nearly distracted over the non-ap-
pearsnce of the bridegroom.
She Is an orphan, and since the death OF
her parents she has lived with relatives
on the East side and supported herself by
working In local factory. She is spoken
of in the highest terms by all.
She has Just reached her 25th birthday.
The bridegroom that was to be was en-
ployed In the same factory and boarded In
Central Falls, his parents residing In Fall
River.
He is also spoken OF as an exemplary
young man and had attained his majority
within year.
Some OF the friends OF both parties sus.
pect foul play.
The couple had been keeping company
about year and the last time the young
man called was Sunday evening. Every
thing had beer arranged for their mar
risge at that time. The trousseau had
been purchased, also the wedding ring.
Invitations had been sent out tn friends
OF both and q sumputous repast was or
dered to be sent to the house Wednesday
evening.
Everything was In readiness at the time
appointed, the house was full of guests,
he supper table In readiness and the
bride sttired in her brid al robes, but the
groom was missing.
Instead of at q wedding feast the guests
found themselves almost In a house of
mourning.
The caterer was ordered to take away
his things, the trossssu was put aside and
the guests departed leaving the young
lady to try and overcome her grief for
their sympathy would have availsd moth
ing.
Before becoming acquainted with the
missing man the young lady had kept
company with young man whose home
10 in Danbury, Conn. The latter has evil
IDENTIFY been unable to forget his former
sweetheart. A short time ago having
heard OF her coming marriage, he wrote
to her and told her TO give up the Idea Of
marrying the man she had chosen, saying
that she never should be his wife, aud i'm
ploripg her to transfer her affections to
him.
This had no effect on her, but as her
betrothed has disappeared the threat has
a curious significance.
The Fall River young man told his
sweetheart Sunday evening that he was
going home to spend Christmas and
would be back Monday evening.
That was the last time she saw him, but
be was seen at the depot in company
with her former admirers and their con.
versation was anything but pleasant. In
fact both appeared to be angry and their
words were so loud and fierce that stten-
tion was attracted to them. No one saw
them leaving the depot and there the
mystery begins.
Some think the Fall River mans
parents might have been opposed to the
marriage while others think there has
been foul play.
The young lady wanted to notify the
police, but her relatives prevailed on her
to wait and she is waiting and watching
In tears for the return OF her lover be-
lieving that he Will come back, IL alive.
On account OF the high respecta bility OF
all parties concerned the names are with
held,
