cried Harry Moody, rapturously.
Will Carter glanced at the speaker
with an amused smile.

Harry Moody was angry enough at his

He May Marry Again.


6irdsall Dean, Of Babylon, l.. T., is
xoout fourteen years of age, dependent
Epon his father, who is a carpenter.
Miss Annie Smith is q rather handsome
woman, who resided in A~mityville,
about seven miles from Babylon. Miss
Smith wears her age lightly, and when
she testified recently that thirty-tive
summers had passed over her head,
there was n general expression of ur-
prise in the courtroom.
Miss Smith, it appears, had been mar
ried by Rev. Nj. Sizer, of Amityville, to
young Dean, and the youth repudiated
the matrimonial contract. He declined
to support his bride and she sued him
before Justice Cooper. When brought
before the magistrate Dean said he
didn't know he was married. Later he
said: 81 did what / was told to do; /
stood up with Miss Smith, Mr.. Sizer
said something about our being husband
and wife, and shortly afterwards l went
home"
The case was dismissed in this court
for want of jurisdiction, it appearing
later that the bride lived in Queens
county. In a short time the young
bridegroom was summoned before JUS
tice + ueschel, in Farmingdale, and the
story of the marriage was gone over
1t vas conceded that Il marriage had
taken place, but counsel for Dean set up
his youth, ineXperience and ignorance
OF the responsibilities he was assuming
as n defense, and Justice Fueschel gave
a verdict against the plaintiff. The
father of young Dean was, however, not
entirely satisfied, and fearing lest the
marriage at Amityville might stand in
the way of any future matrimonial alli-
ance, applied to the supreme court to
have the Smith marriage set aside, on
the ground that his son was too young
TO contract n marriage without the con
sent of his parents. The judges deci-
sion, which was handed down Saturday
afternoon, is very brief. 1t simply gives

A Romantic Eiopement.

An elopement in high social circles
took place at Harmer, twelve miles
from parkersburg, w. Va, last week.
The parties to it we're Charles Smith,
son of DR.. g. HI. Smith, q prominent
physician, and Miss Jennie Pugh, n
seventeen-year-old daughter of David
Pugh, of Harmer. The young man is
about nineteen, is in the sophomore
class of Marietta college, and stands at
the head. The young couple have for
some time wished to wed, but parental
opposition prevented the union. An
elopement was arranged several weeks
ago, but it was spoiled because the fact
became known TO the girls parents.
Mutual friends, however, came to their
assistance and early yesterday morning
the young couple met at the river bank.
A friend with a skiff rowed them across
the Ohio river, where they took the
train on the Ohio River road. That
night a dispatch was received by Mr..
Pugh, saying: I'VE are married. Can
we come homer"
1t was too late to raise further obiec-
ton, and so the welcome invitation to
return was sent. The young lady is the
belle of the town, and u great favorite.

A suit for breach of promise of mar
riage, in which so 900 damages is
asked, has bcen begun in the supreme
court, Brooklyn, by Henry l.. Mugford,
living at No. 106 Eleventh street, that
city, says the New York Star.
The fair defendant is Mrs. Jane Norr-
by, a buxom widow OF forty years, who
resides with her seven-year-old daugh-
ter in a two-story and basement house
at No. 81 Second street, Eastern dis
trict. Her husband was the %janitor
Of the Long Island Historical society.
The plaintiff, who is mentioned in
the directory as a broker, alleges that
in March last Mrs. Norrby promised to
marry him, and fixed the wedding day
for April 4, but when the happy day ar
rived she failed TO come to time.
Mrs. Norrby shed tears last night as
she told the reason she had for break
ing the engagement.
One day she visited the home of her
fiance, and while there discovered from
some papers and documents of his hat
he had deceived her as to his years.
He had led her to believe hat he
was only fifty years of age, but from the
documents mentioned she learned that
he was ten years older. She had made
up her mind hat if she yer entered
again into matrimonial bonds it would
be with some one not more than ten
years older than herself, so she refused
to marry him.
