This morning remarkable scene was wit

her marriage license in Baltimore, and could
prove that she had been his lawful wife for
nine years. She said, moreover, tbs she heard
he was going TO marry this Mary Gardner,
danseuse at Metropolitan Hall, and had come

THE BILL-POsrING NUISANCE

The City Councils recently passed a bill de-
signed to put some check upon the bill
posting nuisance that has SO disfigured the
Streets of Washington, bat it seems the bill is
construed by the police authorities to be more
restrictive than the Councils probably in
tended. If that be so, the matter can easily be
remedied by explanatory legislation; but we
are surprised to see that the Chronicle, while
referring to the subject, takes up the cudgel

did not suppose that a voice-unless of an

In the last annual report OF the President and

statement made nearly year ago by Charles
r. Manning, Engineer aud Superintendent,
relative TO the cause of all the complaint no w
heard among the Millers and Merchants on the
canal :-"Owing to the great draught Of water
from Dam No. 4, chiefly requisite for milling
rather than the legitimate purposes of the
canal, the time is rapidly approaching, il it
mas not already arrived, when the construc-
ton Of a new and larger feeder-canal in lieu
of and entirely apart from the existing narrow
and unsubstantial one at this dam, should b.,
commenced, and diligently prosecuted 20
early completion At present the consumption
OF water for milling purposes in Georgetow
exceeds four millions of gallons per hour, or
enough TO furnish lockage TO tide water for
forty loaded boats and a like u m Der of emp-
ty ones back again. The cost OF constructing
the proposed new feeder will probably be less
than, but will N )t exceed s25,OO0." IRON this

tcipated the difficulties that now cause SO
much complaint.
