Episode in a Hoboken Hotel---
The Wine Cup to Blame,
of Course.

known Jersey Citizen, is in q peck or
trouble, and his friends are enjoying
themselves beyond measure, gossiping
over the little romance of which he is the
hero. The story is somewhat OF the
Partisan school of literature. but that
fact does not detract from the general in
terest which it excites. The heroine is
Miss Henrietta Sullivan, and her friends
also are having good time over it. OF
course, there is a good deal of partizan-
ship shown on both sides, but everyone Is
pleased, because everyone has someone
to censure- either the gallant captain or
the complaining damsel. The story
comes before the public through the
agency of the courts, wherein It appears
upon the record in the form OF breach
of promise suit.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
Three years ago, he first met the charm
ing Henrietta. It was the home of Mr..
Norman, Third and Grove Streets where
q reception was being held. He was
deeply snlitten. He would dance with no
other girl during the night, and he
wished that reception had been prolonged
forever.
The couple met again at the house of
Mr. Costello, on Fifth street, and there.
Miss Sullivan makes affidavit, Captain
Lockwood made love to her. He asked
her, 'before parting at the door," to
'keep company" with him, she says. Her
gentle heart was won and she softly
whispered "Yes."
The natural result was that the Cap
tain called upon the girl of his heart with
regularity, and frequently remained until
that witching hour when the United Gas
Improvement" Company reduces the

her to many receptions, among them that

would always place this arms around her

to marry her."

the Eagle Hotel. Hoboken; that she did
SO, and that then she was betrayed into a
course of conduct not contemplated in

Captains guileful designs in taking her
there.

house of Miss Sullivan. her mother told
me that the young lady was i'll. She also
said that she knew nothing about the
trouble between Lockwood and Henri

his mother also, and she seemed much
worried.
She said that her son could take care of
4 his own affairs and she did not propose to

k,nded 500 or $500 in this case. and that
If Miss Sullivan was looking for money
