GONE TO KENTUCKY.
Departure of an Abandoned Wife and
Her Children.

Mrs. James Allen Weeks and her five
little children departed yesterday for
Eer former home in Kentucky, the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
uefraylng the expense Of their journey
The departure of Mrs. Weeks aud her
children is the result of their cruel
abandonment by the husband and
father, who deserted them a little over
a month ago, leaving them in destitute
circumstances. Besides that he is said
to have sold a piano to which he had
no title for an insignificant sum, also
that he had obtained other sums in
ways that We're not to his credit
Weeks had a position with the Gas
Company, and though he received a
good salary very little of the money
went to the support of his wife and
children. The Brotherhood Of Firemen
very generously interested itself in the
family's behalf and provided them with
the means required to reach Mrs.
Weeks relatives in the East.
