John W. Ebert
November Weddings and Other Social
and Personal Notes of General
and Local Interest.

The FAMILY OF Mr.. john w. Ebert, who
keeps German sausage and cheese stand
in the Royal street wing of the city market,
are very much worried at the disappearance
of the husband and father. On last Monday
morning Mr.. Ebert left his home on North
Columbus street for the purpose of going
to Baltimore to visit an uncle residing at
No. 1893 Landvale street. He was seen to
take the 10 o'clock train for Washington,
since which time all trace of him has been
lost. He has not appeared at his uncle's
house, and none of his friends have seen
him since His wife and children, ten in
number, fear that some accident has be-
fallen him, and are nearly crazed at his dis
appearance. Their fears are greatly added
to by the fact that Mr.. Ebert has been in
bad health for some time and is suffering
from lung trouble which forced him to re-
sign his place at Portners brewery some
time ago. Mr.. Ebert is very quiet man,
and has many friends, who deeply sympa-
thize with his family, and hope that no evil
has befallen him.
