CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.-A woman
named Mary Summers arrived in this city
on Saturday last from Louisville, Kentucky,
and on Monday appeared before Justice
Walter, representing TO him that she was
the wife Of William Henry Summers, ca
nal commissioner of this city, and bywhom
she has had four children. She also stated
that, "by consulting records here, she has
learned that her husband, on the 18th Of
October, 1862, was married in this city to
one Ann Elizabeth Moreland, two children
being the issue by said marriage; and the
parties were residing in the First Ward " !;
and upon her affidavit to this effect war
rant was issued for the arrest of Summers.
She also stated that she was married to
William Henry Summers, in the city Of
New Orleans, in 1856; that she was widow,
with one child, and owning some property
when married. to him. Shortly after, the
property was disposed Of, and Summers eps
listed, and was ordered to the frontier New
Mexico}, she accompanying him IN the ca
pacity of laundress to the regiment, lie
was discharged soon after the breaking out
of the rebellion, removing to Louisville,
XIV. where he resided but a short time,
when he expressed desire to go North,
she consenting, but herself remaining with
the children in, Louisville. This was in the
early part of 1862. He sent her ten dol
lars per month for eight months, and she
never received anything after. He visited
her several times within the pas. si4. years,
bringing two of the children North upon
one Of mis- visits, and locating them in the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphan Home, Capt.
toll Hill, though the mother says she was
unaware of the fact Of their being taken to
that institution. He also got 81 900 from
her, and her suspicious being finally
aroused, she came North to find them
verified
This Is the story Of tins woman, and it re-
mains for Mr.. Summers to refute it or
abide the consequences. He is at present
out of the city, haying gone North for q
few days.-Waskington Chronicle.

FATAL MISTAKE OF AN APoTHECART.-
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Sophia Hecht,
wife Of MIR. L. ,Heeht, g merchant Of this
city, residing at 459 North Sixth street,
came to her, death in most distressing
manner. 1t appears that Mrs. Hecht had
been suffering from q nervous disorder,
and, under the advice Of physician, had
been for some time taking assaf9tida pills,
made according to a prescription given her
BY the doctor, and compounded OF the drug
store of Mr.. Bower. On Wednesday Mrs.
Hecht sent to have the prescription re-
newed, and, Mr.. Bower being absent from
the city, the pills were put up by his son.
The young man made the fatal mistake of
reading the abbreviation OF assafetida for
atropia, q narcotic poison, and this he put
in the pills in the quantity prescribed for
assafoetida. The poisonous effects of this
were soon shown in the alarming symptoms
seen in Mrs. Hecht. The doctor was sent
for, and after he examined the pills and
made inquiry at the drug store the Dire ad-
full truth came out. All the counterfeit ing
remedies and appliances provided by medi-
cal skill were used by Drs. Gross, Carter,
and Lewis, who had been called in, but the
poison had done its work, and she could not
be restored. She died after severe suffer-
ing.-Philadelphia Ledger.

1900
a CHASTITY scientific discovery is reported
from Turin, where Professor Casturani, the
celebrated oculist, has, it would appear,
found q way of killing animals, by forcing
air into their eyes, within the space of a
few seconds, and, it is thought, almost with
out causing them any pain. Within the
space of few minutes four rabbits, three
dogs, and goat, were killed in this man
ner. The most remarkable thing about
this "killing made easy is the fact that
it leaves absolutely no outward trace; and
team be as easily applied to men as to ami
mails, If SO, it is to be hoped that the
method is not easy Of application.
The height of human villainy has been
reached by the scoundrels Of South Ameri-
ca, who turn the earthquakes to their adj
vantage. They lately buried large quanti-
ties Of powder in q hill near the town, in
tending to explode it and make the people
desert their houses in alright. The plan
was then to plumber the houses, but the
wicked scheme fortunately failed.-Nea0

The OYSTER WAR.-CriSfeld, Nd, No
vember Ga fight took place yesterday at
Tyler's creek, Smiths island, Somerset
county, in Maryland waters, between seve-
raj Maryland oyster boats and armed Vir-
ginia oyster revenue steamers. The three
oyster schooners are owned and commanded
by captains who live on the disputed line
between Maryland and Virginia One of
the boats is named the Lewis Finney. Two
Of the captains are named John Evans and
John Trent.
On Thursday afternoon the boats were
fishing for oysters in Tangier sound, near
the lower end of Smiths island, when three
of the oyster police boats of the State of
Virginia,-small steamers - armed and
manned, were seen approaching rapidly.
The fishing boats got up their anchors, took
in their drags, and went off rapidly towards
Tylers creek, small inlet running up into
Smiths island, and which is claimed by the
authorities Of Virginia to be the dividing
line between the States. The steamers fol-
lowed them up the creek as far as their
draft of water would allow them, and after
getting up as far as they could 60 without
danger of grounding, sent out cutters in
search of the fishing boats. The captains
having charge of the latter, seeing no other
mode of escape, ran them on shore and took
to the woods to avoid capture. What fur
Their followed is not certainly known, but it
is supposed that the schooners were scut-
tied and rendered for the present useless to
their owners.
1t was reported at Crisfeld that after the
oystermen left their vessels they rallied on
shore and fired several shots at their pur-
suers, and that one of the latter was killed.
The men from the steamers then went back
to their vessels, which were taken back
into Tangier sound. On the same day one
of the Virginia steamers captured Phila-
delphia oyster boat which was dredging in
the sound, and compelled the captain to
pay $3.50 for doing SO. A dispatch was sent
yesterday from Cris6eld to the Government
authorities here asking that revenue cut
ter be sent down to protect the oystermen n,
but as the only one here is now on the ways
being repaired, she could not be sent i'm
