Mass, Schoolteacher.

MAIDEN, Mass Oct. 20.-Fred Jones Of
this city was letter carrier, and well
liked by all who knew him. Now he Is
gone no one knows where With him, il
is believed, is Miss Georgiana Brown,
with whom he seemed To have become in
fatuatsd.
Fred Jones has been popular resident
Of Maiden for many years, in fact his
popularity was so great that 1000 peop pie
signed "A petition recommending his APP
pointment as post Master under President
Cleveland. He was liked by every body,
aud he made an efficient eInploye In Uncle
Sans service. His route included the
West End Of Maiden aud on this route he
made many friends Among them was q
schoolteacher, Miss GeOrgiaua Brown.
She came to Maiden about two years
ago from Attlcboro and taught in the
Centre grammar school
Miss Brown is about 25 years Of age, Of
rather prepOssessing appearance, has "A
dark complexion and short hair. She
boarded with Mrs. w. ). Lincoln on Cedar
street, and it was while delivering letters
there that Jones lost his heart the second
time.
Last August she left Maiden and went
TO Warren, where she secured position
in the grammar school. Ii was thought
then that Jones' matrimonial affairs
would not suffer further jar, but the re-
lations between Jones and his wife, instead
Of becoming harmonious, were more
strained than ever.
The schoolma'am wrote letters to Jones
when she could not see him, aud these en-
dearing missives became so frequent "a to
make his wife righteousy jealous. The
crash came last Thursday wleu Jones ar
rived home His wife reprlma nded him
for his alleged infid' lity, and his mother
in-law offered few remarks in like
strain
Left Two Letters
This was too much 1t was then he
made up his mind to quit Maiden, bis
wife as well as mother-n-law Sunday he
went to the postofice and worked until
the closing hour, at l0:30 "A. m. He then
wrote two letters, one TO his wife aud the
other To Postmaster Simpson. They were
both mailed at Medford. The first letter
informed his wife that he was going away
To establish himself in business, and he
admonsned Mrs. Jones not TO worry, for
as soon as he settled down he would send
for her.
The letter to the postmaster was in ref
ereuce to his resignation as carrier, a po-
sition he had held for five years. He was
also president of the Carriers associa-
ton.
Whittier he had gone nobody appeared
to know, and his wife has not yet made
any fort to fiud him. He will not put in
an appearance in Maiden again, 1t is said,
for, as he told "A friend. his life was a most
unhappy one
His friends think he made great mis-
take in leaving the city when lie had
such bright prospect before him. A
leading citizen Of the city said to re-
porter yesterday: although there were
stories going the rounds, still there were
friends ready to stand by him."
Mother-In-Law's Opinion.
Fred Jones Is a handsome man Of 2;
years OF age. He wooed aud won Miss
Lillian Slack while she was clerk in the
postoffice. The marriage was against the
wishes of his mother, for Mrs Jones ID
much older than he However, the nuptia
knot was tied. aud all went along
smoothly until pretty-faced Georgiana
Brown became a resident Of Maiden.
At Jones home Mrs. Slack, his mothe
in.law, was seen, and her praise of the
missing letter carrier was OF AN extensive
and laudatory nature, while her denuncia
tions of Miss Brown and other friends was
rather piquant.
why, Georgiana Brown is freckle
faced and red-beaded To say she il
handsome is not true. Fred was a do
mestic man aud never was out nigh,
until that schoolteacher came to the city
ave gave Fred every opportunity tc
blot out the past, but that teacher spoiled
his happiness and ours as we'll"
Mrs. Jones is employed in the National
bank, and n this way hopes to earn a liv
