TORN FROM HIS HisYOUNG BRIDE.
Annie Burns Must Have Hor Hus-
band Restored 40 Her.
New York World.l


Annie Burns. a Dublin lass Of sweet
seventeen, vita a blooming Irish com.
plexion and bright gray eyes, appeared
before Judge Walsh in Brooklyn yester-
day, and with a smile that Illuminated
the cour. and at once arrested the atten-
ton OF his Honor. demanded warrant
for the arrest Of her husband Patrick.
How old are you ?" asked the Judge.
Seventeen, SIR"
Glow old is your husband
"Pat? He is eighteen, sir ?"
The Judges experiences are rather
varied. but he did allow little surprise
TO appear on his cOuntenance.
"And-how long have you been mar
ried, Mrs Burns?"
a week, your Honor answered
Annie, catching on to the title ana
blushiug with vivid pleasure at the
recognition OF her own by the Court.
"Where were you married, and by
whom 2" =,
This day week, by Mayor Whitney.
BY this time the interest in theNpro-
ceedings of the court. which had begun
to flag, suddenly revived, and Mrs. Burns
was highly pleased TO find herself the
heroine of something like romance.
She is decidedly pretty, and as ylyaclous
as she is pretty, and when she kissed the
Bible it was no hollow mockery OF
Kiss. but a smack that resounded through
the court and WAS re-echoed IN the cor
rldors outside.
Annie then told her story. Since her
arrival from Dublin year ago she had
kept company with Patrick Burns, VINO
lives with his mother at No. 5l1 Baltic
street. aud works in Osbornes lumber
ward on Columbia street. Annie herself
was until quite recently employed
as saleswomgn in candy store
on Myrtle avenue, but was as
charged a few days since, as she
alleges. on the false representations
of Mrs. Burns, her mother-n-law. I'M
mediately after their marriage the young
couple went to board with Mrs. Good
man, No. % Bond street, but IN the
very beginning of their honeymoon, al
most. Mrs. Burns came along, and WITH
out the slightest attempt at ceremony
colared her son and carried him torclOIy
of. after having first, however informed
tho behaved bride OF forty-eight hours
that she was designing jade.
"What / now require, concluded
Annie. looking joyously around the
court and beaming upon all present, Is
TO have my husband restored to me and
a warrant for the arrest Of Mrs. Burns.
Upon what grounds do You ask the
warraut2" demanded Justice Walsh.
"On the ground that through hel
falsehood she had me discharged from
my place

OF your husband for abandonment, bn

WOMAN OF COURAGE.
Mrs. Ammon Goes TO Jaii Rather
Than Tell where Josie DIann Is.

A Cleveland special to the Philadel-
phia Press SAYS: The Cuyahoga county
isil has a distinguished and aristocrat1c
prisoner within its walls this evening;
Mrs. Josephine VI. Ammon, o, l6oJ
Euclid avenue, a wealthy lady moving
in tho very best society, occupies quar-,
ters in the female department and VIII
sleep in cell tonight like an ordinary
criminal. Readers Of the Press have
been kept advised OF the Sensational
Ammon- Blann case in this city, where
Young heircss mysteriously disap-
reared in order to avoid an obnoxious
guardian. Mrs. Ammon, with whom
Miss Blann boarded FOR some years, IS
known to have had hand in sprit'hS
the girl away, and was summoned to APP
pear in court as witness III hGJcu.S-
corpus proceedings brought by the
guardian to obtain possession OF tne
person of his ward. Mrs. Ammon NJ
first refused to go to court, and alter
wards when she did appear declined 70
answer questions bearing upon the
whereabouts of the missing girl Judge
Hamilton commanded her to answer,
hut size still remained obdurste where
mon he imposed fine of 800 and costs
and committed her to the county jan
until the fine should be paid and the
lady Wiling to answer the questions put
to her. q,
Mrs. Ammon could easily have paid
the fine. but she preferred not doing 50
and accompanied Sheriff Sawyer to the
county Jail She announced her inten-
ton of remaining there indefinitely
rather than reveal the hiding place OF
/ Miss Blann. and Judge Hamilton says
she will not be relea,ei until she does so.
/ Mrs. Ammon has settled down for a long
siege. She ordered q set of furniture
and n carpet from aneighborinS furnish
inc house and directed that her meals
he sent her from hotel. The austo-
cratic prisoner takes the affair very
coollv. but her imprisonment has created
a great sen ration. She declares that snC
will never produce the girl until the Cd
noxious guardian IS removed. The Pfc"'
representative chilled upon Mrs. Ammor
this evening, and found her very com
fortablv housed. She was occupying the
large ante-room adjoining the cells. 4
carpet covered the s,one door, and the
lady was supping luxuriously. In con
versatiOn she SAID
"If Judge Iilden, the probate Judge
had kept the promise he made to Mrs

mDid Won ever hear the story OF Whit

friend yesterday; lit may have been
told before, but it Is worth repeating
now. He hates the odor Of cabbage,
like most sensible men, and has cordial
horror of the right smell IN the wrong
place. as Henry James calls the ira
france of dinner in the hallway. One
dav. however, a cabbage was cooked at
Oak Knoll and most OF it was lett over.
In Difference to her husbands Oiiactorles

cook to pat the cold cabbage on the top
shelf in the pantry until the next day.

Whittier was seen digging III the garden.

cook sought the cabbage, 1t was gone.
