A DEAD MAN WITH Two WIvEs.-The
incidents daily occurring in great city, are
stranger than fiction itself. A very curious
circumstance took place one day last week in
Prince street, on the occasion of an interment
Of an individual well.known in certain cir
cles, who died possessed of considerable prop
erly. 1t was known that he lived unhappy
with his wife, and passed but little OF his time
at what was generally regarded as his home.
He was more frequently seen going ia and out
of an obscure house in Crosby street. To
some few parties his visits to the house were
well known. The dwelling was known 10
belong to him, and the neighbors supposed
the occupant was relative. 1t was So given
out. On the day when the company was
gathering for the funeral, the occupant of the
house, lady dressed in deep mourning, ac-
companied by little boy and girl, from ten
to twelve years of age, entered the house, and
her grief became SO demonstrative, thot in
quiries naturally were made why she exhibit
ed so much more grief than the wife of the
deceased. The secret was soon made known
by the Oldest child, who sobbingly said: 'sMy
poor papa is dead!' This was said in such
loud tones that the wife, with whom the de.
ceased had led such an unhappy life, approach
ed the child in very rude and unieeling
manner, and scene rarely witnessed in pres
ence of corpse occurred. The mother of the
children claiming the right 10 occupy a seat in
the carriage as mOurlrer as the wife of the
departed, and wife No. 1 noisily objecting.
The mother and two children followed the
hearse, although not permitted to act as" a
mourner." The claim of the two wives will
be the subject OF legal investigation for Sur

lived in Iowa, and moved to Sioux City,
where he started boarding house. Among
his boarders was a jolly young butcher named
Jack Jones, and Mrs. j. d. jenkins fell in
love with him on sight. The Jenkinses had
lived togethee eighteen years, and three chill
dren were the fruits of their companonship.
j. ID. demonstrated with his wife regarding
the jolly young butcher, but to no avail. and
finally bargain was reached and peace es-
tablished in a remarkable manner. The
butcher gave j. D. $500 in cash and a suit of
clothes for the woman and children, and J.
ID. went back to Ediyville contented man
