A Trliie aud Its Results.

A MAN from the country invested five
cents In the purchase of an orange, and
preparatory to getting himself outside of
II threw the peel on the sidewalk. Soon
after q young woman came along, slipped
upon the peel, and fell upon the walk,
breaking her leg. The young woman was
to have been married the next day, but
wasn't. Tho man who was to have mar.
ried her had come from st. Paul, Minnc-
sofa, and was obliged 10 return on account
of business, to await the recovery of the
girl. On his way back he unfortunately
took train on the Erie RAILROAD which
ran off the track. and his shoulder blade
was broken, forcing him 70 stop at Dun
kirk for repairs The Travellers Insur-
ance Company, in which he was insured,
had to pay $3.50 in weekly installments
before he recovered. On getting back to
st. Paul, he found that his forced absence
had upset business arrangement which
he had expected to. complete, at pecu-
MARY loss to him of $4,000. Meantime
the injured girl suffered a relapse, which
so enteebled her health that her marriage
was delayed, which had bad effect upon
the young man, and he finally broke the
engagement and married a widow in Min
nesota, with four small children. This so
worked upon the mind of the girl that
she is now In the insane hospital In Mid
dletown. Her father, outraged by the
conduct of the young man, brought suit
for breach Of promise, and has Just re-
covered $4,000 The anxiety and ex-
pense of the whole affair thus far has
been enormous, as anybody can see.
Similar cases are likely to occur so long
as people will persist in throwing orange
