A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
The Love of Two Brothers and Two
Sisters With an Unexpected De-
movement.
From the Falmouth (Ky) Independent.
In certain part Ct our country there
lives family in which there are two
brothers just entering on the prime Of
youthful manhood; short distance
from them-in fact in the same neigh
borhood-there lives another family in
which there are two sisters also in the
prime Of maidenhood; beautiful, fascin-
atipg and attractive. These young peo-
pie being near neighbors, and coming
in contact with each other often, almost
naturally it would seem, fell in love with
each other, the eldest brother with one
with the other. All went smoothly for
a time, and these young people enjoyed
themselves, and dreamed bright dreams
of the future, and no doubt in imasin :
ton constructed fairy palaces of love,
and gardens, like Paradise, which
should be only filled with beautiful
flowers and fruits Of happiness and I'M
alleged enjoyment. Then, as matter
of course, the question of marrying
arose, which must be referred to the
parents of the young ladies for approval.
The eldest brother had no difficulty in
obtaining their consent to his marrying
the young lady, and the wedding day
was fixed upon. Then the young BROTH
er went to the parents and made known
his attachment for the other sister and
their mutual desire to "splice and travel
the road of life together" But the old
folks were decidedly opposed to having
more than one of their girls marry into
that if he wanted wife he must go else
where to get her" intimating that he
must desist further attention to the
young lady in question. But the young
man was determined that if his brother
married one of the girls he would marry
the other. So he vent to the Young
"lady Of his love" and told her the cir
cumstances OF the situation aud desired
her il she loved him to prove her love
by running away with him. To this she
agreed, and the night was fixed upon
when they should carry out their mu-
tual agreement. But now comes the
strangest part of the story. The two
young ladies resembled each other very
much in looks, voice, etc., and by some
strange freak, when the night of the
elopement came and the young man went
to the appointed place of meet
whom he thought was the right
this however, he took her to the place

performed before he found out that he
was with the wrong girl. Most wonder
full to relate, he thought that after he
had gone to all this trouble he would get
married any way, so he asked her if she
would have him, and she in order to
carry out the joke, said she would, and
they we're married then and there. It
appears that she had overheard him
making arrangements to elope with her
sister, and knowing the place of meeting
determined to go there ahead of her and
thus fool the young man, for whom she
entertained a..secret liking, although she
was engaged to be married to his broth
er. Our informant also states that after
they had lived together for some time
the elder brother, determining to make
the most Of the situation, took unto him
self the other sister.
He Was Caught in a Storm.
New York special: Annie B. Gram
dell's suit against VIM. s. Quinn for
damages for breach of promise of mar:
rage was tried to-day. Miss Crandell
testified that she became acquainted
with Quinn in 1874 at Glasgow, NY;
that he frequently called on her at her
sisters in Brooklyn, and that in the
summer of 1875, at her fathers house in
New Baltimore, Green county, he was a

tiers to her, addressed to ''My own, be-
loved darling, my Annie," he wrote:
"Bleak and stormy was the night when

which made me the happiest ofmen. 1t
seems to bring me nearer, my love,
to you. and you know that is where /
wish to be, my darling. After a stormy
night l first met you at Glasgow. Was
it not after stormy night L first asked
you to be mine? It seems to
me that there is something in the ele-
lnents conducive to our good. Mr..
Quinn did not deny that he promised
to marry Miss Crandell, but claimed
that the engagement was Terminated by
mutual agreement. The jury gave Miss
Crandell verdict for $15, 600.
