THE STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE

Of Eleanor Mahoney, Formerly of This City, at Cincinnati. Thursday's Ciucimiati Enquirer contained the following concerning a young lady well kuowu iu this city: "The strange disappearance of a Hoosier maiden is occasioning much uneasiness in this and two or three other cities. Whether the girl has committed suicide or whether she lias met a fate still more deplorable is an unsolved question. On Sunday afternoon a pretty lady called at No. 340 Kenyon avenue aud applied for hoard. She gave her name as Mildred Manning, of Crawfordsville, lndM and stated that she had clerked at By ram it Sullivan's store iu Indianapolis. She also said that she understood type-writing and thar her uncle had secured her a position with a lawyer. The girl was absolutely unacquainted with Cincinnati aud knew no one to refer to, but her lady-like demeanor secured her lodging at the house where she applied, on Monday morning the young lady went to the depot, ostensibly to get her trunk, but returned saying that she had forgotten her check. In the afternoon she again went out aud never returned.

The missing girl left a small valise anil a portfolio at her room that revealed her identity and several ther things. The valise contained some clothing, a bottle of chloroform aud a bundle of papers. Tre portfolio was tilled with letters aud papers, on which the girl had begun epistles to her friends. On a small slip of paper, all scribbled over in a scrawling hand, as if it had been written in a moving car, were the words: 'You don't like me any more, but,' here the words are almost illegible, 'Mamie McCarthy.'

The pitiful scrawl discloses what is probably the secret of the girl's disappearance. In other letters it is found that her real name is Eleanor Mahouey, and that she had been on terms of something more than friendship with Louis WatooD, a young railroad clerk, of 126 North Fifth Street, Lafayette, Ind.. The bits of correspondence with him that were discovered ran through eight or nine months.

The Mamie McCarthy referred to lives in Crawfordsville, and several of her letters were found in the portfolio, with unfinished answers by Miss Mahoney.

Investigation discloses the fact that the girl had no trunk at the depot She had but $3 or $4 in her purse. From Crawfordsville it is learned that Miss Mahouey is the daughter of John Mahoney, a section hand, and that she clerked in a dry goods store there before re? moving to IndiaDapolis. She always wrote to. her father every week, and on Saturday last' she wrote to Mauiie McCarthy, her friend, telling her that she and two other girls were going to come to Cincinnati, where they were to get better positions.

Miss Mahoney is a girl of medium height and build, with very dark brown eyes and hair. She is full in the face and has a blotch made by some nitrate on the left clieeck. It is thought that Miss Mahoney has committed suicide because of the trouble with her lover, or that she has taken a step more to be regretted."

Nora Mahoney is known by nearly every one here, having been a clerk in Bishof's Bazar previous to going to Indianapolis. Every one knows Louis Watson as an exemplary you up man, the son of Agent Watson, of the Monon.

Latkk.—It appears the above was a hoax, originated in the sensational atmosphere surrounding the Enquirer office. The young lady is enjoying the best of health in Cincinnati has a good position and carded here friends to that effect here yesterday.

Wants S300 Per Annum.

Yesterday morning, through her attorneys, Johnston & Johnston, Mrs. Lurie B. Clark filed a suit against her husband, William Clark, for the support of herself and child. In her petition Mrs. Clark alleges that she married the gallant William on Sept. 4, 1K88, that iu an hour after the ceremony he ruthlessly aud without cause deserted her aud never has contributed one cent toward ,the support of herself and child, although he was fully able to do so. Iu view of the fact that her recreant lord is the possessor of .$900 worth of unencumbered real and personal property she prays the court that William be forced to each year set aside .¥300 for their maintenance, and she ought to have it. too.
