FALsE.-The alarm of fire Yesterday noon had
no foundation in fact.
The MARRYING WOMAN MATED AGAIN.-A couple
OF years ago, we noticed the death of the fourth or
NTH husband of German milliner woman residing
In the Third District. In due time, after that we
mentioned the ladys marriage to her fifth or sixth
husband. Last year we chronicled the death of |
this husband. We have now to state that the LADY,
Is again married; this husband, as some saw being
her seventh and as others maintain, her eighth, |
The singular fatality among the husbands, and the
singular luck and bad luck of the woman in being
WE and widow every other year. naturally attract
much attention in the lower end of the city. The
case is without parallel, SO far as we know The |
thing is especially wonderful to the ladies', who
say that the woman has nothing to recommend |
her personally, beyond fine set OF teeth.
ANOTHER SNOWMAN IN TRoUBLE.-A warrant is I
out in the Third District for the arrest of Thomas
A. Edwards, proprietor and exhibitor of the man.
moth mule, which he lately had on exhibition in a |
tent on the leVee at the Third District ferry land
lng Herman He'll, a German living opposite to [
where the tent was pitched, went the other day to
reclaim chair which Edwards had borrowed from
him finding the chair broken he made some noise
about it, upon which Edwards seized him by the
collar, gave him good shaking, called him all
sorts of things, and otherwise endeavored to i'm
press upon him the necessity of keeping away.
We do not know whether the Big Mule has been
as witness in this case or not.
ROBBERY AND PoIsoNING.-Lieut. Simon on Sat

poisoning man named Pierre Layette The in
