matrimony. Accordingly she has
brought suit in the supreme court of
Kings county for breach of promise.
He Can't Have Bessie Bolisky.
New York Sun: Six months ago Sam
uel Lowenburg OF Meserole street,
Brooklyn, began to make love to pretty
Bessie BOlisky, whose parents live in
Wythe avenue. He was so successful
that four months ago she agreed to marry
him. Her parents promised not only to
provide u beautiful trousseau for their
daughter, but to start the young people
in housekeeping, and give them a snug
sum in solid cash AS the day appointed
for the wedding approached, Mr.. Low
enburg was surprised to receive infor-
moration that the BRIDES parents would
be obliged TO withdraw from their
agreement, as far as the trosseau and
other little matters we're concerned,
considering their daughter herself a
sufficient treasure for any man, Mr..
Lowenburg thought so too, and readily
released his prospective BRIDES parents
from their ante-nuptial contract, and
furnished her brother with $50 to pro-
vide the wedding feast. But a fresh
disappointment was in store for him, for
when the evening came for him to
claim his bride, he was told that he
could not have her. He has now con-
suited Lawyer Strauss, and will take
legal proceedings to recover the $50
which he advanced for the wedding
feast, and So which he expended on u
ring. He does not fix damages for the
laceration Of his feelings.
The Style in Virginia.
A novel feature in the way Of affairs
of honor leaked out at Richmond, Va,
it being nothing less than one young
Baptist minister challenging another to
fight a duel about a young lady. Mr..
Tuscama is q Mexican. and j. Y. Wick
ers an American, and both are studying
for the Baptist ministry at RichmO nd
college, Mr.. Wickers preaching twice a
week. Mr.. Wickers went before the
police court this morning and begged
protection from the vengeance of Rev.
Mr.. Tuscama.
Mr.. Wickers said that he and Mr..
Tuscama were suitors for the hand Of
the same young lady and the lady was
affianced to Wickers. He said that he
made an engagement with the young
out that Mr.. Tuscama had an engage
ment with her for the same evening.
After returning from church they took
seats on the porch. MI. Tuscama, who
arrived o o afterwards, was in q terri
BILE passion, and the first thing he said
was he would be avenged, and, address
ing him, said:
young man, If you don't meet me to-
morrow you are a coward"
In other words, the Mexican, who
was very angry, challenged him to n
mortal combat. He (Wickers) told him
that he could be seen then. Tuscama
replied;
morrow. Wickers retorted by saying:
"You can't expect to ~monopolize the
young !ady's attention" Tuscama re-
piled:
81 am engaged to her for the pres
emit"
Wickers testified that about his time
the threats made by his Mexican rival
were terrific; that he became fright
ened and escaped through the back
door of the house, and fearing that
Tuscama would take his life he had him
arrested.
Mr.. Tuscama, in his defense, said
that he was engaged to the young lady,
and when she broke the engagement
with him for Mr.. Wickers it did make
him very angry
Justice C%rutchfeld. So he cut you
out, did he?
Mr.. Tuscama. Yes sir.
Justice Crutchfeld. Well, | must cay,
that when a young man is engaged to a
young lady, and another fellow comes
along and cuts him out it is calculated
to make him feel badly. l don't see
