POLICE CoURT.-The attendance al
the Monday morning levee held By
Judge Good was large, variegated in
color, and the proceedings full of in,
| terest.
Fin Bobbin was the first case called
He was charged with having been drunk
Likewise disorderly. He's a pooty boy
is Fin, and he lives in Richietown
Bobbih, as We stated yesterday, was on
his muscle; was a muscleman in fact,
and was bobbin' round like roaring
lion, seeking whom he might wallop,
Bobbin picked up the row he was after
and an officer picked him up. He was
fined So and costs,
William Gates is a colored citizen, an
unbleached American. William Gates
gaits don't suit this locality, and Gates
will be obliged to mend his way or he
will be locked in the county Jail. On
Saturday Horace Mosgrove and Squire
McCourtney went to see this cross-bar-
red Gates and collect q judgment against
him in favor of the city. He was quite
unhinged, this broken Gates, and ont
of stamps, and he swore till he was pale
that he wouldn't pay the demand against
him, and that if the officers persisted in
their demand he would straighten them
out as stiff as posts, this blood-thirsty,
unbleached Gates. He was fined $40
and costs, with the privilege of going
on the chain-gang for twenty days.
Patrick Shaughnessey borrowed the
assistance of his brother, on Friday
night, and went for George Knights
lights. Between them they made that
Knight very dark. Patsey was arrested
and fined $50 and costs.
David Gosney and John Elliott, jr.,
for shutting up John Woods left eye and
painting the rig hit one in highly artistic
manner, were fined $40 and costs each.
We were in error yesterday in saying
that John Elliott, SEN, was in this
muss. He had had some words with
Wood prior to the fight, but had no con-
nection at all with what occurred after
wards. We make this correction with
the greatest pleasure, for while we ex-
pect to give the name of every man ap-
pearing before the police court, "wAeth-
er high or low his condition" we do not
desire to do any one a wrong, and when
we make a mistake will most willingly
correct it.

Two women Claim One Man.
A Teutonic Gay Deceiver.

In 1866 Adam Kinzmanu, being then
ohort to leave his native land, to seek
Ri fortune in the new world, deemiDl
tho trim across the ocean would be fat
stale and Improbable, concluded to en-
Ter the holy bonds of wedlock with Miss
Maria F. Tenner. The lady was also or
the point of seeking life, liberty and che
pursuit of happiness beneath the broad
ninions of our national buzzard.
The twain went before the United
States Consul at Altoona, Germany, and
there beneath the star-spaugled banner
oh, long may it wave, we're made one
flesh.
Arrived in this country Adam pro
posed Pittsburgh as his future residence,
and the bone of his bone said, as duti'
ful wife ought, 81 don't care, Adam,

Pittsburgh child was born to them
and Adam became tired of her he had
sworn to love, cherish and protect, and
one bright morning his Paradise was
made a wilderness, for there was no
Adam there. He had sit out"
The base Kinsmann came to Wheeling
and shortly after settled in Ritchietown.
He was not happy. He had violently
snapped the ties that bound him TO his
wife and child and could not be happy.
During a trip to West Alexandria,
Washington county, Pa, he saw Mar
garetta Cole. Putting behind him the
laws of God and man, he determined to
make her his wife.
And he did.
On the 9th day of March last he led
her, confiding and bathed in bushes, to
the altar. Immediately after be brought
his bride to the shady bowers of Ritch-
ietown. Since then he has lived in such
fear and trembling as a man must with
the knowledge on his soul that he had
committed bigamy.
Yesterday Mrs. Kinzmann the First
appeared before Squire Johnston and
demanded a warrant for the arrest Of
the faithless, Brigham Youngical Adam.
Her prayer was granted, Adam was
arrested by Officer Severing, and,
accompanied by Mrs. Kinzmann the
Second, he appeared before the Squire.
There he sat, wife on either side OF
him, undoubtedly thinking of the poets
words-if he knew them:
How happy could be with either
Were t'other dear charmer away
Failing to give bail in the sum OF
$1,000 Adam, deprived of the society of
both his Ewes, is locked up in Jail to
answer a charge of bigamy before the
next term of the Circuit Court.

A WEST VIRGINIA COLONEL on HIS
MUsCLE.-Colonel Capehart, formerly of
the First Virginia Cavalry, has again
appeared before the public. He secures
re-lntroduction through the medium
OF the newspapers, by having q stout
tight in Washington, in which if We
are to believe the reports he badly
pummeled his antagonist. The account
which reaches us is as follows:
here has been a sharp rivalry at
washington for several weeks over the
position OF Superintendent of the Inter.
LOT Departmental $500 place. On
frluay, two of the aspirants, Colonel
Duncan and Colonel Capehart. met in
front OF one of the hotels. and the old
SUBJECT OF who was entitled to the
place was resumed. The discussion be.
came exciting. and frem hard words
the party soon proceeded to blows
Both OF them are large men, and each
was armed with a cane. In the use OF
this weapon Coloael Capehart exhibi.
ted remarkable dexterity. and before
Duncan could bring his cane to hear
upon his antagonist Capehart ba6
dealt him blows enough over the head
and shoulders to break the cane In
pieces. Not satisfied with this succas.
he seized Colonel Duncan, aud LIFTING
him off his feet threw him violently in,
to the gutter. Duncan picked himsel
up and the affair ended. Duncan's fac,
and head were considerably cut viii
the blows from the cate, but beyond
this no serious results followed. Thi.
will serve to settle the prospects o.
both belligerents for political prefer
ment under an administration with tn,

The steamer Leni Leoti left Little

was to have been reshippsd at Napoleon,
on the Dexter, for New Orleans. The
boat struck a snag near McNeilrs Land

out her entire bottom, and causing her
to sink Immediately, in fifteen feet OF
water. The boat and car 30 are total

New TELEGRAPH LINE.-It is propos-
ed to gather up the dilapidated hoop
skirts in our alleys and establish new
telegraph line in opposition to those
now in operation. The wire in crino-
line is said to attract the electric fluid
TO such an extent as to dispense with
batteries and the aurora boreslis. 1t is
also maintained that its former close
proximity TO females will ensure more
than ordinary rapidity in the transmits
sion of news. The movement deserves
success.

THE CHAPMAN SISTERS. "A delicious
hummery of music and nonsense is the
classical burlesque of Ixion as perform
ed at Washington Hall last night for
the first time in this city by the charm
ing Chapman sisters. Blanche as Ixion
has an excellent conception Of her part,
executes it well and sings deliCiOusly.
She has the uncommon faculty of at
once placing herself and her audience
en- rapport and they seem to enter with
as much zest into her hrtations as she
does herself. She's gem of girl. If
We were not ed-headed and a wilder
we'd feel like making desperate love to
her. Ella, the gay little witch, light as
fairy and sparkling as a sunbeam, Us
Mercury was delightful. She throws
her whole soul into the part she plays
and one can see the mischief peeping
out Of her eyes. And the fair, gaelic
like "Minery"-what shall we say for
the gentle goddess Fragile as Hover
that a summers zephyr can puff away,
she charms alike in what she does and
what she don't. Never sat Grecian
Bend on gracefuler form; never eyes
saw asweeter creature; never ears heard
more ravishing voice Taking MI
nervs in parts altogether we can say
truly there is but one Goddess of Wis
dom and Winslow Syrup and his names
Bishop. Such shouts of "lafture" as
the play evoked never made the walls
Of Washington Hall ring before. Near
" two pecks Of vest and suspender
buttons will be swept up in the hall
this morning. With all this fun, this
light flippant dialogue, there was not
word that could offend or q gesture
that would bring blush to the cheek
of the most modest.
Tonight we are to have Cinderella
with the Sisters in the principal charac-
ters and Bishop as Clorinda, the proud,
fair, fat, ferty and funny. The real eff
feet of q piece like Cinderella depends
upon the laughable situstionsit affords,
the homogeneous ideas it suggests by the
contrast between the pretended eharac-
tiers introduced, and their actual beha-
vior and language on the stsge-buL
above all, upon the spirit with which
the burlesque is carried ont, and such
additional features Of attraction as the
Chapmaus are able to introduce, in
their little songs and dances. Go and
see them.

THE VELoCIPEpE NUIsANCE.-Some OF
our velocipede riders, we are told, are in
the habit of running their machines fu-
riously along the walk-ways in certain
parts of the city, greatly to the annoy
ance and danger of pedestrians. They
are an annoyance to all, but really very
dangerous to the ladies and children.
An elderly lady, out for quiet walk
last evening, narrowly escaped being
run over by one of them. The authori-
ties ought to take the subject in hand,
and regulate the practice of using these
machines in some way.
