TOO MUCH MARRIED.

About one year ago Mr.. J. II. Newman
and lady came to this city with the intention
Oh making II their home. MIR. Newman
followed the river in the capacity Of o
steamboat pilot. while his wife opened n
dress-making establishment on Seventh
street, between Washington avenue and
walnut street. They passed az man and
wife. and to all appearances they lived hap.
ply, and no one mistriistcd that they were
not what they seemed. But, as Shakespeare
says, "the course of true love never did run
smooth;" and so II has come to pass with
this couple. Anew days ago Sheriff Irwin re.
ceived capias from the clerk
OF the circuit court OF Gallatin
county, Of which Shawneetovn is the coun.
ty seat, for the arrest Of Mr.. j. Il. Newman
on the charge OF bigamy. Mr.. Irwin went
about his work quietly, and succeeded In
capturing Mr.. Newman, and has him now in
custody. A preliminary hearing was had,
and the bail of the accused fixed at $1,000,
which up to last evening he had been unable
to procure.
Mr.. Newman refuses to give any explana.
ton or make any statements concerning
the matter; but 1t is reasonable to infer from
all the circumstances Of the case, that he is
the possessor Of just one more wife than the
law Of the land allows him.

Whether Burr had gone to Mississippi to
seek his fortune or not, we do not know, but
we do know that he found IL, as many other
men find theirs. by industry, perseverance
and energy. Thirty-three years after his
departure from this state. in the
year 1886, Burr died, leaving behind him a
large estate. He had no family, he left no
will, and as shrouds have no pockets, he
could not carry with him much or little Of
the wealth he had accumulated. Since that
time. no heir has appeared to claim the
properly OF the deceased Burr, and II is TO.
DAY without an owner. It Is known that
among Burr's friends or relatives were En-.

NRw York, January A special dis
patch from Washington to the Times
says the demand OF Captain Wilson OF
the steamer Yantic upon the Sultan Of
Zanzibar or Museat has doubtless been
misrepresenied in its transmission to
this country By the treaty Of 1916 be
tween Great Britain and the Sultan Of
Muscat, the slave trade was absolutely
prohibited in the dominions Of the lat
ter, except as to vessels transporting
slaves from one port of the Sultan's do
minions to another. This reservation
has been grossly abused by slave-trsders
who, kidnapping and shipping slaves
from the lower coast would, when out to
sea, pursue their voyages to Arabia and
countries on the Persian gulf, where
they would sell the slaves. This prac-
tice has been going on many years, and
Of late has grown 70 bold that Great
Britain, by whose consent the exception
was made in the first instance, could no
logger overlook it, and called on this
Government to join in the request to
abrogate this reservation of the treaty.
This was acceded to, and Instructions
were given to the first vessel passing in
that direction. Hence CAPTAIN Wilson's
TO the Sultan and the
latters reply. The correspondence on
the subject will shortly be made public.
