James Sweeney was a former resident of Plttston township, born In the vil lage of Sebastopol, a suburb of this city, and when he grew to man's es tate he married an honest and Indus trious young woman of this city. Two bright boys were born to this couple, and shortly after this Sweeney became possessed of a wandering turn of mind and one night, like the Arab, quietly folded his tent and stole away. His wife, with two email children, was left In straightened circumstances, but be ing possessed with Indomitable pluck, quietly suffered her predicament und faced the task of earning a livelihood for her offspring. During all the years Intervening she accomplished this and, besides keeping a roof over their heads, has succeeded In giving her boys a very good education. Last week her hus band, James Sweeney, arrived in the city from California nnd with him a woman who, up to this writing, was under the impression she was his law ful wife, and yesterday the proper Mrs. Sweeney had a warrant sworn out be fore Alderman Barrett, charging Swee ney with desertlonand all tho othcrcom- plalnts usually placed upon the should ers of a man guilty of the conduct that Sweeney will have to answer for.
