JAILED FOR HUGGING HIS WIFE.

son IN IcrSOnai Liberty.
Louis Weininger, an Austrian, started
a restaurant at 404 bloomfield street, Ho-
boken, N. ", about year ago. His
wife, buxom and good looking, suggested
that Ii would be a good plan to fit up
some furnished rooms on the upper floor,
and her suggestion was adopted. Then
WeiniDger inserted an advertisement In a
German paper in this city for two hand
some night mattresses for the restaurant.
Detective Weinthal saw the prepora-
tions for renting furnished rooms, read
the advertisement for the handsome wait
resses, and concluded that Roboken was
to be invaded by disorderly. house. He
stood for several nights on high stoop
across the street and awaited develop
ments.
One night he saw a woman hugging u
man, and his suspicious were verified.
He raided the place and arrested Vein
niger, his wife, his mother, who is so
years old, his sister, and a married woman
from BROOKLYN who was visiting the fem
lily. Weininger anu his wife were locked
up. The others were discharged.
After being locked up for 30 days Mrs.
Meininger was released on bail. Her Lus-
band was kept in the county Jail for
three months Being a stranger he was un-
able to procure a bondsman. He was tried
in the general sessions court Tuesday for
keeping a disorderly house.
The strongest evidence was the story of
the woman hugging the man. Neiningsr
testified that he was the man who was
hugged and that the woman who hugged
him was his wife.
1t took the jury hve minutes to acquit
him.

Capel rose and opened the door for
her. Miss O'Grady had left the room
q second before. A sound of many
voices all speaking together, the
trampling of feet, the humping of a
heavy box, came confusedly to CapePs
ear. He was inclined to go and see
what manner of woman this was. but
politencss restrained him.
In few minutes Miss Digby re-
turned smiling, but paler than she
was.
"The poor, dear thing Is terribly
tired, and has gone to her room till
dinner is ready. Nelly is attending to
her. Would you like to go 10 yours.

grimy paw which closed upon it.
''Do not go until see you," added Ca
pei to the chief postillion.
"I'll take the boys round to the yard,
your honor, and give them drop of
whisky" said the butler. "Ye know
yer way, boys?"
"Begorra, we dol" was the ready re-
sponse.
Follow me, surr, if you plaise."
Laying the smeared card on a tray,
the old man led the way across the
hall, which was adorned with antlers
and other hunting trophies, through
an archway, and down a corridor, to
double door.
Capel followed, expecting TO wait un-
til his card was taken to Miss Digby.
But TO his surprise he heard himself
at once announced, and saw, as he
crossed the threshold, his much adj
mired "Irish girl standing in the CEN
ter of the room. On one side of her
keen looking black and white terrier
was sitting up in an attitude of beg
ging; on the other, young lady, with
pretty, saucy little face and piquante,
turned up nose, was kneeling ON a low
chair, her clasped hands resting on the
back, which was straight and high.
The last rays of the sun shone
strangely through the windows on the
left, and falling across the face of the
young hostess, he saw that she looked

companion was smiling with watery

II trust you will excuse this uncere-
monious intrusion, Miss Digby," he re-
turned, with profound bow. "Iwrote

the postillions spurred their gaunv
cattle, and with great clatter OF hoofs
and a cheer from the bystanders,
which the sight of four horses starting
together was sure 10 make, they dashed
down the street carrying Col. Capel TO
take up the command of the Cork dis
trict to which he had just been ap-
pointed.
Travelling at that period was not the
most delightful occupation for an ease
loving man. In point of fact il was
very little if anything better than ii
was in the middle of the last century.
Besides the irkesomeness of lonely
travelling, the pain of seeing the squalid
wretchedness which defaced the coun-
try, the gallant officer was eager for
other reasons to get to his journeys
end, and found his heart beating fast
er than usual at the idea of seeing
Grace Digby in a few minutes. He had
seen good deal of that young lady,
and in spite of his grave, stern exterior,
he had been hard hit by her deep blue
eyes, shaded as they were by long LASH
es, and surmounted by delicate but
well defined eyebrows-many degrees
darker than her bright red-brown hair
by her richly fair complexion, which
suggested diet of cream and almonds,
her softly curved mouth and pearly
teeth, that could smile so mischievous-
ly and sometimes so kindly-also by
her willowy figure, which was divinely
tall and cxquisitely proportioned.
But Capel, shy, sensitive man, was
kept at bay by the bright friendiness
of her manner, and the amount OF
saucy fun which played in her eyes
and on her sweetened lips.
While he hesitated callous father,
who was far too Irish to imagine the
possibility of any man hesitating TO
ask any woman 10 marry him, carried
her off to his remote home, and Capel
was now determined not to lose
chance IL he had one.
1t had been dull, drizzling day, but
as the postillions, 10y dint of squirting
and shouting, rose" gallop for the
avenue, the sun shone out and the
