Leonard Jessup Disappears.

Nashville, Tenn., March, 31, 1898 —Mr. Leonard Jessup, of Rensselaer, Ind., who has for some time been touring in the South and making his home in this city, suddenly disappeared. When Mr. Jessup came here he had much sympathy for the poor and needy, and to all appearances was a gentleman. He was always fcund in high society, and was well thought of by all who knew him. He was engaged to be married to one of the most prominent young ladies of this city on April first, and his sudden disappearance is unaccounted for. Ip regard to the truth of the abdve dispatch, we know nothing. Youngs Jessup left here for the south about a month ago. If he has got admitted to Nashville’s highest society, got engaged to marry one of Tennessee’s four hundred, and accomplished a mysterious disappearance in that length of time he has exceeded our most sanguine anticipations. His father lives near Manchester, Tenn., and if we had lost Leonard we would look for him at his daddy’s.
