Trouble Anen. nTrou..e.u.

Rondoat y. " Courier, y h ullima
n very Interesting suit has been In
progress at Judge Bawton's office for
some days, with Rufus H. King, OF
Catskill, rs referee. The parties to the
suit are Mrs. John FL. Rather and Rich
ard +. Morgan, of Illinois, and the
foundation of the suit IL a wedding
rousseau, which cost 81 500. Mrs RIt..
ger Is the widow of John III. Rutzer.
One of her daughters married Richard
+. Morgan, prominent resident at
that time of Bloomington, Illinois, but
now, We believe, of Chicago. Her son,
Mr. William Rutzsr, of this city, hes
| daughter, aud this young lady, while
| on visit to her aunt, Mrs. Morgan, in
Bloomington, WAS married to q SOP OF
Ex-Governor Bsyeridge, Of Illinois. As
| a part of the arrangements for this
wedding, were trousseau and an en-
terfainment The latter Mr.. Morgan
agreed to furnish in y gorgeous style,
the affair costing 81 500. The trous-
seau was to be provided by Mrs. Rut,
| ger, but Mr.. Morgan advanced the
money, rs Is claimed in this suit, with
the exception of tritie over $500,
which was the share Miss Rutzer was
entitled to of her fathers estate, and
which was paid toward the trosseau.
The wedding outfit, however, was a
very extravagsnt one, costing s., 500
In all, leaving 81 700 for Mr.. Morgan to
pay, which he claims he paid, and for
this he now brings suit. This case
VIII be lengthy one, and the suit will
probably cost as much as the origihal
wedding suits. Surrogate Cantine and
County Judge Lawton are in the case.
