STUCK IN THE PAINT.
Lovers Hasten Their Marriage and
Win Suit Against Trolley Co.

From the New York Herald.
Dressed in the lightest of their summer
clothing. both as to color and texture,
Joseph Roghan, clerk, employed in q
Broadway department store, and his fan
Gee went for a trolley ride in the cool of
the evening of August last. and thereby
hangs a tale which might have been trag-
ic, but which came to pleasing close, as
all love stories should, in the municipal
court yesterday
Boarding an Eighth avenue car in Cort-
landt and Greenwich streets. Mr. Roghan
and his bride-to-be settled themselves
comfortably in a seat that looked particu-
larly new and inviting, and enjoyed the
breezes until 125th street was reached.
Then they decided to get off. but they
reckoned without that particularly new
and inviting looking seat 1t refused to
let them bulge.
Startled for moment with fear OF
sudden paralysis. Roghan and the young
woman gazed into each others eyes with
something like horror. Then Roghan
passed his hand along the back of the
seat. and discovered that it bore thick
coating Of the stickiest kind of enamel
paint, which had not dried. With whis-
pered word, he clasped her hand firmly in
his. and they gave a strong pull, long
pull, and pull both together There
was a rending sound, and both were free.
but clinging to the affectonate seat were
various portions of their summer cloth
