A Pennsylvanian Repeatedly sued for
Breach Of Promise.

A curious set Of domestic relations IL revealed
by the action brought by Caroline Shirley Of
Binghamton, NY, against Henry Gangwere
Of Allentown, Pa, charging him with breach Of
promise. In her affidavit. entered in the pro-
thonotary's Office, the woman alleges that
Gangwere promised a. late as March, 1890, to
marry her.
In Gangwere's petition he asserts that he
married the woman in New York in October,
1884, He thought at the time that she was q
single woman, and did not find out until after
the marriage that she had husband living in
the person Of Clarence Romine. to whom she
was married at Owego, NY, in 1882 When he
made the discovery he applied for . divorce,
which was granted at Binghamton November

An Affair That May Receive Secretary
BIaine's Attention.

A Detroit dispatch says: Robert sullo, a
fifteen-year old boy. went across the river
Monday and began shooting ducks in the st.
Clair flats. Notwithstanding the fact that he
was outside the preserves of the Toronto Club
the gamekeeper arrested him and carried
him to the Toronto club house without
notifying the boys parents, who were nearly
crazed with grief. He was kept in confine
ment there for the night and in the morning
taken to Port Lambton, where the gentlemen
sportsmen attempted to secure q warrant
against him for poaching. The JUS
tlce refused to Consider the case. The
boy was then taken thirty miles
further away to Port SarnIa, and after much
persuasion justice was induced to proceed
against Sullo to the tune of $40 fine. with SIS
costs. The American residents are greatly ex-
cited over the matter. Sullo, ST., is advised
that it is plain of kidnapping and is de-
termined to be redressed, even If he has to call
