Arrest Of an Alleged Bigamist.
GEORGETOWN MARRIAGE AND A BALTIMORE

MARRIAGE
Inc baltimore American of this morning
says: On Saturday afternoon Sergeant Drost'
OF the southern station, arrested gay deceiyer
named TheopOlis b. Young, charged with being
the possessor OF two live wives, one living In
TINS CITY and the other in Georgetown, ID. c.
The story Of Mrs. Young, No. 2, related to
Justice Nugent is as follows: On January 18th,
1866, Iheopolis was married in Georgetown to
interesting children. For about two wears
Theopoiis proved himself q good husband, but
suddenly he became annoyed at the racket
dally and nightly INDUCED i'm by the children of
his predecessor, and informed his wife that as
he was
NOT USED TO THE NOISE OF CHILDREN
before his marriage he would not submit to it
afterwards. He then began keeping late hours,
probably to escape the noise OF the children,
but the wife murmured not. Atlast he deserted
her and failed to provide for her and her chill
his flesh and blood. A few days since Mrs.
Young learned that her husband was i'm this
city, working in q sash factory ON East Falls
ayenne, below Pratt street, and she also learned
with documents to prove her marriage with
Young, the injured wife came to Baltimore and
obtained from Justice Nngent a warrant for the
In the hands OF Sergeant Drost, and in a short
time the Don Juan was at the southern station,
as also were
HIS TWO WIVES.
The examination of the accused showed that
he had married his second wife, Amanda NJ
Brunei, in this city on the 18th Of October last;
she, however being cognizant that wife No.
still lived, and that the parties had not been de
vorced. As the evidence in the case was given
to Justice Nugent, both wives shed tears freely
wife No. because she had been 80 shamefuIfy
abused, and wife No. because Theopolis stood
an excellent chance Of becoming an inmate of
the Maryland penitentiary. Young did not deny
being the husband of both of the women, and
offered no excuse for deserving wife No. 1. When
he was committed to Jail for the action of the
grand jury he babe wife No. an affectiOnafe
adieu, but paid little or no attention to wife
No. !.
NOS. AND 9.
After the gay deceiver had been sent to fail
the legitimate wife seated herself beside the
otheF Mrs. Young and pointed out to her where
she had erred, and begged of her to return to
Washington (where her mother resides) and
once more make glad the heart of her aged
mother. After considerable entreaty No. con-
sented to be guided by the advice Of No. 1, and
the curtain was run down on tableau repre-
senting two unhappy women making their exit
from the side-dOOr of the statiOn-hOuse, Cap
tain Delanty acting as master of ceremonies
Squire Nugent as the stern dispenser of Justice,
and Turnkey Kimmell in the background, hold
ing alOft in his right hand q bunch of KEYS
while with his left hand he pointed to the cell
once occupied BY the too-much- married The

A Ponderous Slipper.

George has for some time past been
attentive to a young lady in Prospect
street, whom he has noticed on several
occasions when he called, busily engaged
on a beautiful piece Of embroidery,
which, perhaps accidentally, on compar-
ing it with the size of his own foot, he
had concluded was one Of a pair of
slippers that were, no doubt, intended
for holiday present and George had
once or twice allowed himself to wan
der into the pleasant suspicion that
they were intended for him, although
nothing had really transpired to justify
such q belief.
On Friday evening George called for
the third time during the week. He's
quite attentive, it would seem, and as
usual the slipper was progressing fine
". He was fully sure the slippers were
intended for him, but he was anxious to
draw the acknowledgement from the
dear angel who was laboring so indus
triously for his benefit, another implied
acknowledgement Of her devotion for
him. OF course, he began cautiously.
"Some one you are mighty fond Of is
to become the possessor of those slip
pers, I imagine p said ne.
Z" What slippers do you refer to p in
quired the fair iRborer.
Why. those you are working on so
industriously, replied George.
Slippers p almost shouted his as
tonished companion. - Slippers ! Do
You mean to tell me, George, that You
took this for a slipper ?"
