The Queen City atmosphere is redolen,
just nov OF the fragrance born of a new
sensation. 1t is novel breach of promise
case. novel because of its cart -before-the-
horse character. The facts. as viewed from
. respectable distance, are briefly as follows :
A Bangor young man, bold, handsome and
frank. member of a family who are high
Up on the social staircase, has put in a good
part of his time OF late in wooing a maiden
whose beauty is well balanced by a stock of
unadulterated good sense. He showered, or,
at least gently dropped upon her. evidences
OF his undying love and undivided devotion
IN the shape of jew-lry and sleigh rides. and
at last came to think that he had a first
mortgage upon her affections.
But something - jealousy. or perhaps a
snow slide, came between the pair recently
and the young lady unloaded her admrer, who
Immediately sued for financial solace for his
wounded feelings. The writ was made GU.
Wednesday as there was not deputy sheriff
in the city at the time and the amount claim
ed-S5000-placed the ease beyond the iuris-
diction of the City Marshal. an Oldtow deputy
was secured, and he served the writ on the
lady. 1t has now been returned to the Young
mans attorney. The young lady has consd-
cradle cash of her own, and is smart As we'll
as pretty, and some mean people say that
this fact is looked upon by the disappointed
lover as a big element in his Paradise lost -
The case will be tried at the October term of
court, if not settled before that time

An Incident In Busy broadway.


Loungcrs in Broadway had an opportunity
SEQ rather novel and unique sight yesterday
afternoon. A we'll dressed woman in silks,
satin and camels hair stepped out of her
coupe just above Union square and passed
into a we'll known store. The coachman,
dressed in fashionable livery throughout,
held his whip in the usual aesthetic manner
of coachmen, and kept his eyes fixed immov-
ably on the horses ears. Neither the horse
nor the cab nor the driver moved muscle.
Presently the well dressed woman came out
Of the store bearing in her hand a
goblet of ice cream soda and made her way
through the crowd Of pedestrians always in
Broadway late in the afternoon, and stepping
up to the coachman handed him the glass and
teaspoon with which to eat the contents
thereof. Then the woman returned to the
store, and having secured duplicate for her
self calmly and horoioally ate it. Meantime
the coachman, holding his whip, reins, and
spoon in one hand, and the glass in the other,
ate his ice cream soda as though he liked 1t,
and people walking by looked, stared, seemed
amazed, and turning around walked by the
cab again to see if their eyes had not deceived
them. The woman, having Stacked her thirst,
came out, took the coachman's empty glass,
returned it, and paying for both, came out,
and getting into her cab was driven away.

THE COMMISSIONERS.
Current Transactions at the Various Dis
trict Offices.

A tax payer in a note 10 the commissioners
asks If the holder Of 10 per cent assessment
certificates can use such certificates in the
payment of special assessments not held by
the sinking fund. The engineer commits
sioner, to whom this was referred, states in
his Endorsement that the certificates of assess
ment referred to are no longer worth their
face value because of the reduction of the as
sessments by revision. Under existing law
the difference can be made good by drawback
for the difference without interest. This prop
osition to make the certificates receivable at
face value, accrued interest, is evidently in
tended rs o roundabout way of getting over
the legal difficulty in the way of getting che
interest. 1t seems hardly advisable to issue
such an order as requested. The party inter-
ested was therefore informed that these cer-
tificates cannot be received in payment of as
sessments due to other outstanding lien GER
tifcates.
The secretary of war has asked that a fire
plug be placed in the vicinity Of the paymas-
ter generals office.
Comptroller Lawrence has reversed his
former opinion concerning the time when
work on the public contracts may bo COM
menced, and now holds that the work may
be begun before July, provided that no pay
ments be made on the work until after that
time.
W. ]. Duniyan, who has been connected
with the police department for fourteen years,
and who has been property clerk for some
years past, was removed on Saturday at the

recommendation Mr.. Richard Sylvester was
appointed by the commissioners There were
no charges against Mr.. Dunivan's official in
tegrity. Mr.. Sylvester Is the son Of Richard
Sylvester, managing editor of the Post. He
was a former clerk in the land office, and af-
terward disbursing officer of the Ute commits
sion in Colorado. Maj. Dye has been his per-
sonal friend from boyhood. The new ap-
pointee is about 25 years of age, of undoubted
ability, is republican in politics, and his
