CITY INTELLlGE
! Closing of the Holiday Street Theatre by In
junction. Last evening this establishment was
closed by an Injunction granted by the Chan
celor of the State, on application of Menzes J.
Cohen, Esq, one ofthe original stockholders 1t
appears that the theatre was built originally by
subscription, l26 shares having been sold at
5000 each, but which were not sufficient to
complete the building, and consequently liens
were held against it for work done. Two seve-
raj times it was offered for sale to satisfy these
liens, and at the last time offered was purchased
by Jas, V. Wagner, Esq, for SIS 900, it being
the only bid offered Mr.. Cohen Immediately
took exception to the sale on the grounds of
there being but one bid for the building, and
of the sale having taken place on Satur-
day, which, being a Jew, and his Sab
bath, he could not attend the sale. The
chancellor was applied TO yesterday to raise
the injunction, but has refused, and has
set down the 22nd inst, for hearing Of the
case, when it will be decded in the mean time
unless an arrangement can be made, the Thea
ire will remain closed. Mr. Cohen holds fifty
shares of the stock, and formerly each share
Of stock was entitled to ticket of admission,
and since the last sale, Mr.. G.. has sold all his
stockholders tickets, which were refused admis-
sion and hence the suit A large audience had
assembled last night, Who were sadly dsap-
pointed, and much confusion ensued i'll return
/ ing the money at the box Office, bat Mr.. Mar
, shall promptly returned every cent and satisfied
6 every person. 1t is pity that this occurrence
j took place, as Mr.. Marshall had made extern
3 sive arrangements for a brilliant season, which
bid fair to be very successful. An advertise
ment in another column announces the closing
of the Theatre until further notice.
Breach Of PrOmiSe-yMarriage in the Sherif's
Office We believe that we have recorded mar
riages in every kind of place, by Holy Writ
T and otherwise, but we have now the pleasing
duty to perform, of recording marriage by
virtue of Sheriff 5 writ; power we have
never seen used to consummate such an object
before. 1t appears that a young German,
named Adam Schwab, had obtained the heart
of fair country-woman of his, named Barbara
Baumann, whilst they yet lived in the "Fadrr-
land" Adam then persuaded his intended TO
emigrate with him to America, and according
ly few day since, they arrived here from Bre-
men. Barbara, it also appears, bad cCnsid-
cradle sum of money, which Adam succeeded
in obtaining from her, and then after setting
his foot in free country, wished to free hin'-
self from his engagement to marry her, which
she did not fancy under al! The peculiar cir
cumstances, as it would leave her among
strangers in a most interesting situation, 10
more ways than one, and accordingly, Miss
5 Bauman obtained a writ, and had the false
Adam arrested by the Sheriff OF Baltimore city,
3 on the charge of breach Of marriage promise.
This was predicament Adam never au,lcipa-
ted, and in order to get out of bad scrape,
4 il,o ID
bara, that If she would withdraw the suit he
would be as good as his word, and marry her
, on the spot right in the Sheriff"s Office. Bar
bara willingly consented to be made a wife on
any TERMS and in accordance with their desire
the Rev. Dr. Duncan was sent for, and soon
t made his appearance, and the wedding came
off in fine style, a toerable crowd being col
lected to witness the ceremony. Robert Ran
kin, Esq, CALAMITY rendered his services to act
, as groomsman, and Deputy Sheriff Diggs, for
the want of one of the fair sex, acted most cre-
dltably as bridesmaid The ceremony was duly
A performed, the groomsman, as he is always en-.
titled in such cases, getting the first kiss from
the "blushing BRIDE" and thus in the presence
OF all, by means of Holy law, and Sherff's law
was the nuptial knot tied. There are a great
! many good ways to settle lawsuits, and we
, think better in this case could not have been
devised, for it was Just to the one party, and
satisfactory to the other.
Case Of CHM Con. A large dealer up town
has recently got himself into scrape, in con.
sequence of an alleged Grim. con, with the
= daughter ola prominent member of one of oul
is churches. The old gallant has been hauled UP
J. before the association of which he is member
J. and the church has undertaken to investigate
e the lady's case. 1t has caused considerable
: talk and scandal in the ''west end )" and some
rich revelations are anticipated from the inves
). legations commenced, which will astonsh the
O moral and religious community.
r Cool Weather. Yesterday morning, the Their
mometer in our office, denoted 60 degrees at 6
> O'Clock, which makes it the coolest morning we
: have had for some months. The day through.
d out was very cool, and thick winter clothing
was by no means uncomfortable out ofdoors. and
fires in parlors and sitting rooms We shall
not probably have change, without storm OIL
n rain, as the autumn equinox takes place on the
i goth inst, at which time, we invariably have a
e "spell" of weather.
= Piremen's Visii. The Columbia Hose Com
pany OF Philadelphia, are expected to arrive in
this city about o'clock this afternoon. They
/ will be the especial guests of the Mechanical
= boys. Delegations from the different fire com
panies will be at the depot to receive them.
