are newly married couple. Mr.. Caspari is an
Italian by birth, native of Albany, and ven
der of Italian curiosities. Mrs. Caspari is a
lovely New York virgin. After the
marriage ceremony had been per-
formed the bride and bridegroom rode out to
Manhattanville in the city passenger cars, par
took moderately of the good things of the sea-
son, and returned to their hotel in Laight street
by 8 o'clock. By that time, however, the regu-
lar supper hour was over, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Caspari accordingly went to neighboring res
taurant, where they ordered some stewed eels
and hard cider. These dainties being disposed
of, they retired to bed in good condition and
sooner or later fell asleep.
In the morning, however, Mr.. Caspari went
forth to his daily toll, and Mrs Caspari prepared
herself for pensive promenade along Broad
way Whilst the pensiveness of her promenade
was at its height, French lady (whose maiden
name was Helen O'Flaherty) accosted her,
charged her with being pickpocket and handed
her over to policeman. In vain Madame Cas-
pari wept and implored The French lady was
too much for her. She swore that while riding
in the cars, at o'clock the previous evening,
she suddenly missed her purse and at the same
moment saw Mrs. Caspar leaving the cars that
she instantly got up and followed but was I'M
able to overtake her.
This was Madame O'Flaherty's testimony be-
fore the Court. Meanwhile Mr.. Caspari had
heard what had happened and came rushing to
his wife's rescue. By this time it was o'clock,
but the Court agreed to keep open till s. to
avoid, if possible, incarcerating Mrs. Caspar
over Sunday. The hour that remained was very
well employed. A few minutes before Mrs
Caspar who had meanwhile paid visit to the
keeper of the restaurant, returned in the COM
pany of that gentleman who certified that at the
hour Mrs. O'Flaherty had asserted her pocket
| book to have been taken, Mrs. Caspari was in
his restaurant, eating the stewed eels and drink
| ing the hard-cider. The flushed bride was there
fore honorably discharged, and Mrs. O'Flaherty
| left the courtroom in ignOminy.

dress occasions, blue swallow-tail coat, with
velvet collar and gilt buttons; white vest with
rich fancy buttons; black knee-breeches, with

Our Miss Laura Keene
is to become the manageress of your New Ches-
