The Strange Disappearance of Beauti- ful Mattie Deims. 1 nn Fears That the Missing Girl, an Adopted Daughter of Mathew Deims, Has Been Enticed Away by Her Rightful Father or Murdered — Mattie's Strange Conduct. — By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wrveriztp, N. Y., May 4.—Mattie Deims of this place has been missing since Saturday, and, as search for her has been made without success, the mystery surrounding her sudden and strange disappearance is as deep as when the Astoria police were notified of it, Friday last. When the Posr-Disraron correspondent stepped from the train to the little village depot platform yesterday morning, knots of men were gathered about the station discussing the case, and the theories ad- vanced as to the cause and her whereabouts were numerous. Although a young girl of retired habits and one not given to making acquaintances, her face was familiar to all the villagers, and every one spoke in the highest terms of her, Unlike girls of her age.she had few friends or acquaintances,either of her own or the opposite sex, and seldom left her bome after retiring from her work in the even- ing, unless to do an errand or attend a church meeting. Matthew Deims is a hard-working labor- er, and lives with his wife ina neat little house, a stone's throw from the Winfleld Station, Wien 8 months old, little Mattie became a member of their family by adoption, and has been regarded as their own, and was treated as such. Her father is still alive, and when last heard from was in busi- ness in St Lou's. His wife died manv years ago. while Mattie was a babe, and it was just after ber 2 that sbe became a member of the Deiins fam- her father surrendering with ber all future rales to claim her. As her years increased so did her personai charms develop, and, for one of her years, she was exceedingly interesting. Her face, which was of the pure German type, surmounted with a luxuriant growth of hair, that hung in two long braids down her back, bad often been the cause of envy of some of the weaithier maiden ladies of the village, as they passed her on the streets, while she was hurrying to a village store, Lately Mattie conceived the idea that she was ABLE TO EARN HER LIVING, and at her earnest soiicitation the Deimses, who were not too well biessed with this worid'’s goods, consented and she was furnished employment by C. Bergmann, who contracts with New vo rk and Rrookiyn tailors for work on men's clothes. His home and shop are in one, and are situated in a ciearing in the Maspata woods, two miles from her home. This distance Mattie has traveled to and from ver work daily during the past two week since she has been working for Bergmann. The roa is lonely and leads through two pieces of thick timber land. A large hiil, about half way between the Deimses house aud that o. Berz mann, completely Shute out from view, when in either of tue two pieces of woodland, the houses situated on either side of the hill, ana at the best after leaving the viliage of Winfleid and before reaching the Grand Street Par«, the houses are a considerable distance avart. Leaving the highway, Mattie was again cew pelied to cl.mb a steep hill heavily timvered, to the shop where sue worked. The ony road lead- ing from the road to the snop is anarrow foot . path, which, to a stranger, is barely discernible, it was shortly before noon yesterday when the newsman kuocked at the door of the Delus tome. He was usuered iuto the little front room by Mrs. Deims, a motuerly looking woman, of probably 50 ears. When tue object of the visit was made — she broke down weeping, and, as she swayed ner body to and fro, related the particulars as follows: “Monday evening it rammed, and my husband walked over to Mr. Bergmann's to bring Mattie nome. It was just a little before 6 o'clock when he got there, and, and Mattie said she would not come home, as it was raming too bard. My husband left her there and came home himseif. At 8 O'ciock we were just getting ready to go to bed when we heard a knock at tue door and when we opened it THERE STOOD MATTIE DRIPPING WET. The only reason that she gave for coming home was that she did not want tostay away all night, and when I asked her why she didn’t come home with her father, sue said suedidn’t think then she would be afraid to stay all night with Mr. Bergmann, Und alter my husvand had left her sue feit lone, and started for her home. Tuesday she startei for her work. It was 6:15 in the morning, and that was the last time Isaw ner. My God! where is my Mattie’ ‘iuesday nigut my husband went to Mr. Berg .aon, and wuen ue found she nad not been there ail diy, be din not know what to do or what nad become of her, aud, aithougu we have made every effort to trace her, we have not been able to lind any one who has seen her. “Did it ever Occur to you that her right father may have come from St. Louis and got her to go bam with him?" asked your Corre spondent Les.“ sue replied, but she did not know any other father than my husband. but ber own father may have enticed her away with him," she couciud- ed The newsman then followed the road so often traveled by uattie aud made several inquiries, and, akte ra long walk, succeeded iu findiny the e foot-path leading to Bergmann's. Long before the hou- was im sigut, tour dogs, of as many different breeds, announced his coming by we bar- ing and howling. Ih brought out Mr. Bergmann, eth © ve ave the sume version of the disappeiwance as did dvs. Deine, bur aidet thai ne vever allowed one of the girls employed by uli to remain in the bouse all unt. lie empioys ulne girs Gud Mattie Was tue youngest. it was only at Lue solicitation of Mr. Deuns tat he em- ployed ner. He pronounced the disappe arance ag sometuing very strange aud Usaccounabe. In- quiries in the ueigsburhood of ihe shop iocated a young girl, Maggie Dez, Wuvuse story may furn sh u Ge W tue dsaypearance. Ou Monday ut, about 7 o’c.0ck, wude Ou the way to a store, Maggie saw Mattie sitting Ou a step and, kuowinys it to ve sometu.og unusual for her to be lowernny away from home se late, accos.ed ner aud said, “Wo are you waiting tor Matue?” WAITING FOR SOMEBODY. . “Oh, somebody, replied tue giri as she hung ber “Mattie, it's your fellow your Walting tor?“ re turned Maggie, iaughing. “Oh, nv Maggie; tel.ows don't bother me,” she retoried, as ne ter hurried on her way. Tuis was the night she refused to go Lome with Ar. Deims, but did return turougu tue rain liter. On 4 morning Edward tianiig, a section boss ou the Long land „thinks ue saw Mattie cross the track and start through tue Woods lor tue shop, but is uot positive.
