There is a big sensation in society
circles, and although desperate
attempt is being made to keep the mat
ter quiet the names of the participants
are known to several persons outside OF
the young lady's Immediate family.
For some time a certain prominent bus
mess man has been keeping company
with as equally a prominent young
lady. Both move in the circle pre-
scribed by the 400" and both are con-
slant attendants at fashionable
church. The young man is, or rather
was, looked upoi as an emil
nentlY proper parsonage by the
fathers and mothers who have marriage
able daughters 10 dispose of. and 1t was
considered that the young lady to whom
the aforesaid young man was paying
such aSSidiuuS attentions had made an
excellent catch. There is an old saying
that every ticck has its black sheep. and
the young lady's family is no exception
to the rule. She has brother who is
as uncomfortable in dress coat as a
cat is when forced to take cold bath.
He is a big, brawny fellow. who likes All
occasional glass, quiet game at draw
or whirl at roulette. He is one of
those men who can talk horse for an
hour at time. and he would travel
miles ard suffer no small amount of
personal inconvenience to witness
good prize fight. He is one of those
fellows who is generally described as
rounder, and what he doesn't know
about sporting life is hardly worth
learning. The brother never took
kindly to his sisters friend. but he is
too well bred and thinks too much OF
his sister to wound her feelings by
openly insulting her lover. Once he
met the business man in the West
hotel and invited him to take walk
into the bar room. The business man
was apparently Mortified, and com
menced temperance lecture which
drove the rounder out. Something in
the mans manner excited the brothers
suspicion that everything was not
all right. but be kept his suspicious to
himself. On Thursday night they were
confirmed, and the business man is now
confined to his home suffering from
good pounding received at the hands of
the irate brother, while the young lady
will take trip to Europe before her
presence again adOrnS the select society
of the Flour city. There are two fash
resorts on Fourth street south. One of
these was the scene OF wild disorder on
Thursday night. The brother was
walking down Fourth street shortly be-
fore 9 O'Clock when young woman
called him by name and whispered
something in his ear. The young woman
was servant employed by the young
lady's parents, and she informed the
brother that she had seen his sister and
her "steady company enter the fashion,
able designation house between FIT
and Second avenues. The girl had been
with the young mans family for years
and she was positive that no mistake
had been made. The rounder didn't
lose his head and yell for the police.
Taking the girl by the arm he simply
said:
"You must come with he, We will
60 in there. Ii what you have told me
is true get out as quick as you can. If
you are mistaken we will come out to-
gether at once. | know this woman,
and she wont dare to lie to me-" The
doorway was in full view of the brother,
| and no one had passed in or out since
he had received the startling infOrma-
| ton from the servant girl. They went
| into the house together, and the land
| lady was thrown completely off her
guard by the brothers question, ''has
| MIR. - got here yet?"
"Oh. yes, be has been here about ten
minutes. He is in the second roum."
There was no time wasted then. With
| bound the brother was at the door,
and sent it flying off its hinges. His
worst fears were realized. There on the
bed, clothed in only natures garments,
were his sister and her lover. How the
| brother got out no one knows, but the
business man was lying OH the floor in
sensible when the police got in, and the
sister had caught up portion of her
| clothing and escaped. Early yesterday
morning she and the servant were sent
away. The business man was taken
home in hack, and his friends were
| informed that he received his injuries
| by being thrown out of carriage. 1t
will be several days before he can leave
the hOase, and then its dollars to
| doughnuts he will get another pounding
! if he meets that girls brother.
