NATURAL FRUIT FLENORS.
Happy HOLSTERS in Trouble.


A honeymoon nearly terminated at the Balt
mora and Ohio depot last evening And a
| warm though new friendship was suddenly
broken. says the Pittsburg Chronicle eIe-
graph.
At La Porte Ind. the Washington express
was boarded by happy couple bound for the
nations capital, who were followed by shower
of rice and chorus of cheers. which announced
to everyone on the train that they started on
their bridal tour.
Among the passengers was a commercial
traveller, who beheid the groom with uumixed
| interest, and smiled encouragingly at him from
across the car. He was also bound for Wash
inRton.
After the train had left Bellaire the groom
went over and spoke to the drummer. q" They
conversed a little awkwsrdly for a minute, and
then the groom bashfully remarked, jerking
his thumb over his shoulder in the direction of
his bride:
II suppose you see we are married?''
Yes" asSented the drummer sympathetcal-
~. Then as though he had found remedy he
remarked brightly:
Let's go into the smoker and take a drink.
I've got some good liquor"
The groom agreed and oy the time they had
reached PittsbUrg their love was unbounded.
The drummer was introduced to the bride and
congratulated her on her husband, and he grew
eloquent on the brides beauty TO the husband.
They were all happy, and when the bride was
asked to sit in the Smithfeld street station
while the two friends strolled across the street
TO see one Of the drummers friends she
cheerfully consented.
The men remained in saloon for an hour,
and the marriage was celebrated in true Am eri-
can style. Finally they returned to the bride.
The transfer clerk appeared and rendered the
commercial traveller tri1ing bill for excess
baggage. The man put his hand in his pocket
to pull out the roll, but his money not there.
Hurriedly he began to search his other pockets.
They also were empty. He grew very nervous
during his search, which attracted the grooms
attention, who inquired:
"Whet's the NATTER"
The drummer was by this time excited, and
he looked significantly at the groom and re-
piled;
"You know what the matter is.'
''Sr," exclaimed the astonished groom, 81
don understand you"
MY money is gone and you or your wife
have stolen it.
You're a liar! l know nothing of your
| money" replied the groom, his astonshment
having given way to anger, and he stepped
| toward the drummer. while his wife began to
| cry. By this time quite crowd had collected,
| among tkem the station officer. The drummer
ordered that the newly married couple be ar
rested. The Station officer took the three to

insisted that he had been robbed of S125
| The groom denied emphatically that he had
| stolen the money, and. with his wife agreed to
| be searched. He had 800 in a roll ami some
| small change. while his wife had about $40 anu
ticket to Washington; also little photograph

blushed through her tears.

on searching the drummer also, and behold In

and he would have thraShed the drummer on
the spot had not his wife restrained him. The
| drummer apologized profusely, but when the
| three mounted the Washington through train
he went into the smoker. aud all night his berth
in the sleeper opposite the section of the mar
| ried people was vacant.
