TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED
FOR BROKEN HEART--A highly interesting
case, involving the good name Of an estima-
tiOns, is on trial to-day in the city court of
Brooklyn, before Judge Reynolds. The plain
tiff is Miss Meta c. Gage. She was en-
gagged TO be married to George TOuies, the
son of very wealthy German merchant on
Broadway. Georges mother opposed the
match, ard finally told her boy that if he
married Meta he should not have a penny OF
their property, and she accused the young
lady of having 'varfert' her son. This ex-
preston, as alleged, broke off the match, and
the result was that the plaintiff became very
heart and character. The counsel for plain
tiff claimed that the expression meant de
bauch" or seduce the young man, but the
defence claimed that the literal meaning OF
the term was simply misled. The court room
was well filled with the friends of the par
ties, who are greatly interested i'm the case.
