LONESOME IN TOWN.

The long day wanes, the fog shuts down,
The eave-trough spouts and sputters
The rain signs through the huddled town
And mumbles in the cutters
The emptied thoroughfares become
Long streams of eery light;
They issue from the mist and, dumb,
Flow onward out of sight.
The snarling trolley grumbles past,
Its swapping wire CLOVIS;
Again where yon pale light is cast
The hackman's horses doze.
In vain the bargain windows wink,
The passers-by are few;
The grim walls stretch away and shrink
In dull electric blue
A stranger hurries down the street,
Hat dripping, face agow;
0 happy feet, o homing feet,
l know where mine would go!
For oh, far over hills and dells
The cows come up the lane,
With steaming TANKS and fog-dulled bells
A-tinkle in the rain.

The daughter, whose life he Is said
to have threatened, is now Mrs. James
F. Soutar, Of I'll West 1S4th street,
Manhattan. She was married at the
home occupied by the Hoffman family
at 50S Summer avenue because of the
notorety due to her fathers disap-
pearance, and has since been on his
track for his alleged desertion of her
mother.
Through friends in Newark. SO IL is
declared, Hoffman was made aware of
her efforts TO locate him. On Thursday
night last Mrs. Santar received a letter
from her father. in which he declared
he would never return home and threat
ened harm to her, it is said, if she per-
sisted in following him.
This information was given to Prose
eutor Mott yesterday and Hoffmans
arrest on a capias issued by Judge Ten
Eyck followed.
Today he was held for thirty DAYS
to await extradition arrangements for
which will be made Monday. Mrs
Hoffman is at present in New York
with friends.
Hoffman's Masonic associates ia
Northern Lodge were greatly surprised
and mystified at the time of his dis
appearance. and were also active in
the search for him.
A quarrel with the wife he is now
accused of deserving, is said to have
caused him osdappear.
He was traced as far as a town in
Connecticut in which relatives reside
but there the trail was lost, Hoffman
doubling on his tracks and returning
to New York. The indictment for wife
desertion was found against Hoffman
shortly after his disappearance, mainly
on evidence given by his daughter. it
is said This, it is declared, caused
the threats against her which led to
his arrest
