this Kind came up before Ju,iee Brennan on Satur-
day, a. the Essex Market Police Court. Christian
koopenger wa. engaged to be married to lively little
German girl whose residence is IN Sixth street. The
ruptias were to have been celebrated last evening,
but Kooperger and his betrothed bad become so par
tisl to each others society that they passed Friday
night in bundlirg. Nothing occurred until about
O'Clock the next morning, when the wskeful Christian
heard one clsmbering up the side Of the house,
aid shortly after saw a mans head poked in through
the open window, speedily followed by his body.
Urdoubtedly burglar" thought Christian, and TO
sooner did the thought strike him than be boldly
pitched into the suppoaed thief, while his sweetheart
gave vent to her feelings in series Of shrieks that
completely drowned the explanation Of the stranger
nor did she rest cortent with shreking merely, but
lent her lover valiant assistance. Between the tive.
the intruder pretty roughly handed, his clothes
being toru TO shreds and his features sadly mared by
the facile fingers Of the woman. The su'pected indi

state Of voful dilspidsion. 1t was in vain that he
assured the officer that he was honest man. Diog
