The Story of a fomanUifc , Deserted In North Carolina ami in Colorado A. Fruitless Olinsc. "Yesterday morning's Denver train brought in among other pas Bcngers a lady whose out ward appearance plainly indicated that the WAS ot the poorer class. Her fea tures wore of a refined typo , in strange contrast to the rude and uncouth Iwblll nments which clothed her person. Her general appearance and actions , barring the matter of dress , was that oE a perfect lady , ono doubtless who had scon the world and had passed through the bitter est and most trying hears which life af fords. With her was a small boy , prob ably five or six years of ago , who won neatly but coarsely dressed and upon whom , it could bo plainly teen , had boun lavished the wealth of a mother's care. , The lady , while waiting- for ono of south-bound train entered Into the - , con * voraatlon with Officer John Tnrnbull , who chanced to bo in the depot nt the time and told him the story of an In teresting portion of her Itfo. Her name is Mrs. Alary Benton ; her homo is , or was , In North Carolina , near Raleigh. "Eight years aijo , " she said , "I was married in North Carolina to a man by the name of Jaruos Benton. 1 was then nineteen years of ago. It Is needless to cay that I entertained for my husband that wifely love and respect and honor , without which no married Ufa can bo truly happy. Ho seemed to return , in a reciprocal motuuro , these feelings. For five years everything went smoothly. My father had died in the meantime and loft us a farm of seventy-five acres , not very valuable , but as good as the major ity of. farms in that neighborhood , Wo moved upon It and lived there happily , enjoying the peace and quiet of a farming Itfo. My husband was a rar- pouter and always had plenty of work because . ho was a steady , reliable man and well liked In the country where ho was known. "About three years ago there came a change. My husband's feelings eoeinod metamorphosed. From a quiet , gentle and tender man and husband , ho devel oped into a moody and morose being , whoso traits wore any thing but admirable. It Is not necessary to dwell at any length npon this painful topic. I could not un derstand the change , could assign no reason , though I racked my brain iu the vain attempt , and tried every expedient to solve the mj story. My husband to all inquiries was grimly tilent. " On the 15th day of Juno , 1882 , ho disappeared.Vhoro ho went no ouo know. Ho disappeared as com pletely and ai mysteriously , as though he had been obliterated from the face of the earth. Ho took no money , ( ho had some thing over $200 treasured up in an olc tin chest ) and loft all the valuable papori untouched. No note was left behind him to explain the cause of his departure For weeks and months I grieved over tb < matter , until at ono tlmo the doctor , as J afterwards found out , thought that mi brain would give way under the crnshin { weight of the sorrow. The neighbors who had noticed the vast change whicl had coma over my husband , wcro in duced ta the belief that he had tnrnoc suicide. But I did not believe that sucl was the case ( though I do not know HOT and did not know then why I was led t < think so. ) * ' 0no day about a year ago I received i letter written by my husband and datei at Denver , bearing the stamp cf tha postoQico. In It ho said nothing of thi causa of his strange disappearance , bn eont mo a chock for $250 and told mo ti come at once to Denver. "Sell thi farm , " ho said , 'and do not delay comlnj a single day. ' I closed up my affairs a quickly as I 'could , sold the land at i great sacrifice and started out west , tik ing with mo my child , who had then de volopcd Into a handsome little fellow o five years * of age. "It did not take mo long to make th trip to Denver. On the way I foil to think Ing abont the strange circumstances connected noctod with the letter and wondered If m ; husband were really alive and had wrli ton the missive , or whether it was som sttango hoax. The moro I thought of i the moro 1 realized on what olende chances rested the hope of finding m husband. I did not bcllevo that I shonl over find him in Denver , but made up m mind to prepare myself for a bitter dli appointment. "I was in the wrong. I was met c the depot by my huaband , ( I wrote a lei tcr betorehand , tolling of the time of ai rival ) , and was token to his homo , a rud house constructed near a mining camp many miles from the city. Oar meetln I cannot describe. My husband ha B- changed grcat'y , had lost all tlu melancholy and moroseness of charactoi which I had discovered stealing over hii jnst before ho had detorted mo tbre years ago. And under the rough o toiler of character which a mining HI had glvon him , I could dltcover the trait of the husband as I had known hlr years ago. The firtt night after the jo , of meeting was over , I asked him to ez plain the cause of hii mysterious do parturo. He seemed strangely agitated and told mo to trait a day or two and h would explain everything. "The next day I wokoup to find hie gone. I thought It rather strange , bu supposed that bis business had called hlr away , and that ho would soon return But a day pasted , and ho did no come back. A month polled around am sllll ho did not return. Again ho had dc ecrted mo and the child in the tame myi terlona nunner. The most thoroug ! search failed to reveal any clua ta hi sirango departure , "I am going to Mlesonii , where I hav a brother living near Golden City , have given up my hatband for good. Th mystery of his strange actions I cannc explain. I do not believe that I wl id over see him again. That I care to , can not cay.

About 1 o'clock Wednesday night there was a raplt succession of revolver shots near the corner of Seventeenth and Capitol avenno which told of oomo tragedy or comedy that was being enacted In the vicinily. Investigation reveals the fact tha about the hour indicated , a solitary burglar broke into the house of Mr. F A. Schneider , on the southwest corner of Seventeenth and Capitol avenue. HI efiected nn entrance by opening a side window and pasting Into the hall through an unoccupied side bedroom. It appears that the front 'door had been loft open for Mr. Schneider's son who ex pected to bo homo late , and when MM. S. , .who has her bedroom on' first floor , heard the uolso as of eomo ono groping in the dark , aho naturally ( sup posed that It was her son. She called to trim repeatedly , but the supposed scion cf ilia house of Schneider made no roply. Finally , becoming suspicious and alarmed she arose and wont to the door which opens out into the ball. She called to him again , asking him eomo question and ho replied as though ho were her son. Then , by the strange tone of voice , she know that oho had boon deceived. Poor- 1 ing cautiously out oho saw the bnruglar , with a Hghtaa match overhead , groping his way , evidently about to 1'ght ' upon a trnnk-iull of valuables which stood In the rear of the hall. Quietly turning around , Mrs. Schneider irent to her hus band and told him of the state of affairs. Mr. Schneider at once jumped from the bed and seizing a revolver rushed out Into ilio hall. "Lot mo alone , lot mo alone , and I'll leave the house 1" shouted the intruder , as ho bolted through the open side window. Mr. Sshnelder jumped through the door and rushed out into the yard , with no garment to protect - tect his flguro from the chilling winds save the tcanty night-gown. Ho fired several shots at the fellow , none of which appeared to take i ( Feet. After chasing the thief up to Dodge street , Mr. Schneider returned. Examination of the premises revealed the fact that noth ing of any value had been taken. The thief is supposed to ba a Dane who was employed a few days before in watching the house while the family was in California , and who has several times before been detect ed In crooked operations. ANOTHER ONE. Miss Molly Fagan and Miss Curio S Heed are a brace of fair damsels who B room at ICO-t Farnam street. Wednesday night abont mid night they were awakened by the noise of the turning of tha door knob on the room of their door. They resorted to the usual maidenly expedient oi screaming. They screamed until their melodious voices caicased with warbling tenderness tbo high leger notes t _ above the staff. The man , whoever 0 he was , Immediately retreated through [ j. the _ front door , evidently afraid that they girls wonld get after him , and quite probably , by the awful thought d y that ono of them might propose to him. The yunng Isdies naturally expected o 3. return of the felonious visitor and at once determined to remove their bed up stairs , instead of remaining alone on the first floor. They worked like beavers at this job for abont twenty minutes , until they were completely tuckered out. Just as they were lugging the last pair of bed- slats up stairs , they heard the front door open again. The burglsr was again in the houso. Allowing two pierc ing screams to gurgle forth from two pearly mouths , the conragous young ladles seized their bed slate with deadly grip , and started to pounce npon the c flendcr , at the foot of the stairs. But the desperado had fled. The girls re turned to theiyip-stalrs conoh and peace reigned supreme. "V" is liable to create a stir.

The frprt of tlio Oily Ennineer on last Year's Expflites , TVbat Grading , Curbing mid Gutter' lug , Paving , Etc. , Drive Cost. Oily Engineer Rosowatcr has filed with the city dork his report of expenditures for publid Improvement during the year ending May , 1885. The main points are given bolovr : The total of grading done was 700,000 cable yards at a cost of $157,483.88. This work was done on twenty- live dif ferent atteots , aggregating 10 80-100 miles of street , equivalent to abont sixty miles of railroad work with an average ill of 5J feet. The most notable changes from this ; tadlng are manifest on Farnam , North Ightoeuth and South Sixteenth , and the radlcatlon of the old crock bed on Izud treot. The roanlt of this work , notwlthstand ng _ the strong reasons for bollovlng it was injudicious , has advanced the VAlno f adjoining property moro than triple ho cost of the work. Every foot of real state on Farnam street has advanced 'com $20 to $40 , and tbo property along 'zird street has advanced at a still reater ratio. .AND ClUriEKINO. In all for the past year , there wcro 40- 79 lineal feet of caiblng laid and 40- , 78 of guttering , or a little over 7A miles f each. The average cost of curbing ran $1 10 per foot , and of guttering 1.00 per foot fcr a width of 2i foot 12.39 for nix feet width , and $2 1)3 ) for light foot width. Tho. coat of inspection i this work was 3 | cents per foot. The gutter stones used are of the di monslons of paving blocks , and the curb tones are In length 3G Inchon , and In opth 24. The curb-stones ate nov malnlv sands'ono from the Colorado .aanies. For gutter ] , the beat material used is Sioux Falls granite. For the requirement of good drainage xporlenco has developed thn fact that p rado across an intersecting street ehoald bo moro than eighteen Inches between urbs/and ordinarily not more then six nclus. The old grades woio created with a rlsa in aomo Instances cf eight feet , and no matter with what material such an In- srsectlon bo paved , the result would b o upset any wagon traveling over It. SEWERAGE. The total BBWFrago laid was 62,237 Hnoa eot at a cast of $175,290. This include * sewers if both systems and all oppurto nances. The city now has a sewerage o 21 10-100 mites at a cost -100,417.34 The cowers run go In size fros six inchei to eight and a half feet. The engineer recommends that the gas company bo not allowed to dlcchargo its waste water and refuse Into the city sowers. PAVING. The paving in the aggregate amounted to 35,213 square yards in street intersec tions at a cost of $110,643.10 to the city and 103,729 square yards In street dls- riots costing $317,013,12. .The inspec- ion cott $1,571 39 making the total $429,827.01. The cost of osphaltum pavement on a concrete base was * $2.98 and of Sioux Falls granite $2.98 to $3 44 per square yard. Colorado candstone blocks from $2 87 to $3 49. In addition to the streets fourteen alky districts were paved aggregating 6,637 square yards at a cost Inclusive of inspection of $27- 339.60. SIDEWALKS. There were 34,464 lineal feet of plank sidewalk laid at a cost of $11,502 61 paid by special levy. This , however , does not represent more than one-half the cullay for this class of Improvement as at least that much more has been built directly by property owners. Fully $50,000 has been invested in granolithic and other walks. SUMMARY.
