A Love Adventure and ElOpement In Can
ada-A Beautiful Belle I'm Trouble-One
Suffer Chastises His Rival and is Ar
rested. ..r.
An arrest was made the other morning at
the Central Depot, which caused considers
BILE talk in Rochester, N. Y. The party ar
rested was young gentleman of Toronto,
Neill Mcintosh, and the complainant, John
l.. Lottie, said to be young law student of
that city. The party accused is a we'll
appearing, educated young man, and is said
to be in good standing at Toronto. The COM
plainant is feminine appearing youth, with
curly hair, parted in the front, and was alto
gether the cast of "dem foin phellow.n
The lady in the case is Miss Marion Proud
foot, who is said to belong to the aristocracy
of Toronto. She is attended by her mother,
who appears to be lady Of refinement.
The facts in this case are substantially as
follows; Mcintosh had been suitor for the
hand of Miss Proudfoot, and had been favor
ably received by the lady. The mother was,
however, adverse TO his suit, and proved TO
be material obstruction TO his advances,
She encouraged the rival, Lottie, who came
out from Europe not long since and located
in Toronto. Two months or more ago Mrs,
Proudfoot her daughter and Lottie went to
Clifton Springs to spend the season, Lottie
being out of health. Thither Mr.. Mcintosh
followed, and took rooms to watch the pro-
gress of events. --g
To avoid the society of his rival, Mcintosh
had his meals at a separate hour, and one day
while he was at dinner, Lottie came into the
dining-room and insulted him. He gave him
blow for his insolence, and this made the
ground for an assault. subsequently Mcln-
tosh went home 10 Toronto and remained
until last week, when he received letter
purportiug to come from Miss Proudfoot, re-
ouesting him to go to Clifton. He went as
far as Rochester, took q room at Congress
Hail. and telegraphed the lady to meet him
there. Io.
This letter was probably decoy, for Mrs.
Proudfoot, her daughter and Lottie went in
the cars from Clifton, attended by consta-
BILE, who had warrant for the arrest OF Nc
Intosh, on the charge of assault and battery.
The warrant was indorsed, Mcintosh was ar
rested, taken TO the police station and locked
up. Lottie, Mrs. Proudfoot and her daughter
followed TO the station in carriage, and there
| a peace-warrant was sworn out against Nc
| Intosh by Lottie. The Clifton constable gave
| up his prisoner, and he was required 10 enter
bail to keep the peace toward Lottie. Pend.
| ing the matter Of bail, the complainant and
| ladies left the police Office. The impression
is, that the young lady fayors Mcintosh
though she Is, no doubt, entirely under ma
ternal discipline, and has to obey her mother
implicitly. The glances which she exchanged
| with Mcintosh in Court, indicated that sh'
entertained no unkind feeling toward him.
