LOVE IETTERs. THEN LEAD.

LOVE LETTERS, THEN LEAD.
For moment the atmosphere in the
lobby OF the Emery Hotel was sultry
with suiphurOus language the other
morning, a gun came into play, three
gentlemen were mixed up and then
several employees took a hand and
murder was averted.
The trouble began when Sam Refs
Of Walnut Hllls, who is a brother Of
Julius Refs, and Mr. Loewenstein. his
son-in-law, entered the hosiery and
demanded to see d. H. Cohn. a sales
man travelling for a New York house,

scene, Mr. Refs whipped out a revol-
yer, and accompanying the action with
"a TRADE OF abuse made for the aston

his companion, Mr.. LOewenstein. AS
before stated. employees interfered at
this critical iuncure. ana the weapon
was taken from Mr. Refs before blood
was shed. He, however. still kept on
heaping abuse upon the defence,ess
Cohn, who in vain tried to appease his
accusers.
Behind this display OF hostiltles liel
a pretty romance. according TO the
story told by Mr. Refs. Ar the bottom
Of ii is the pretty 1S-year-old daughter
Of the gentleman who was disposed to
an Mr. COINS anatomy with lead.
Cohn. so Mr.. Refs says. has been maxi
ing ardent love to the girl, and an
amatory correspondence has been GO
ing on between them.
There would have been no special
harm in this, but Mr.. Reis says that
Mr. COIN is a married man. o fact of
which both he and his daughter were
in ignorance until quite recently. C0hn
has been paying marked attention to
the young lady for some time. and
the family never had an inklng Of the

was hard to pacify, and had not a doz-

prevailed, owing to the comparative ease
of the carry-over in mining shares.

prices, leading to a more cheerful and
hopeful tone at the close. Consols re-
