Recently two excited young men en-
tered the First Precinct police station In
Newark, and halted In front of the
desk. Lieutenant Trowbrldge saw at
once that they had come to settle n dis
pute by police arbitration. One Of the
men was Theodore Bryant, aged 25
years. The other, who was about the
same age, was Charles Smith. They
told the following story.
Bryant, who was dressed like a tramp,
came to Newark week ago, aud meet
ing friends of Smith, told them that he
was the lawful husband of the young
woman whom Smith married three
months ago. Yesterday aftern oon the
two men met for the first time In Com
merce street, and Smith asked Bryant
what he meant by saying he was the
husband of Mrs Smith. Bryant re-
piled boldly, that he was married to her
seven years ago, in Lowell, Mass. -
Smith was angry, but controlled him
self, and proposed that they go to the
police station, and have the matter In
vestigated there.
After he had heard the men Is story
Lieutenant Trowbridge sent Smith
home to Durand street to get his wife.
In twenty minutes the men were again
facing the Lieutenant with a tidy and
comely young woman of 20, standing
between them.
"Do you know this man ?" asked the
Lieutenant, pointing to Bryant.
Yes, have seen him before" Mrs.
Smith replied
Ct Is he your husband ?"
No, sir" was the earnest reply
"He has said so, but Ihever bellved IL. :"
awe were married in Lowell" said
Bryant. {" had certificate of our
marriage, but lost it. The records of
Lowell will show that we were mar

woman said, where we worked in fac
tories. Seven years ago he and 1 stood
up with a couple at their wedding, and
ever since that he has claimed me as
his wife. II says we were married then.
Wherever | have gone he has appeared,
pleading poverty and asking for money,
which often gave him. Sometimes he
threatened to shoot me. We never liv-
ed together, and never passed as his
wife,"
Bryant here claimed that she kept
house for him in Norwich about a year
ago.
In denial of this, Smith said she had
lived in East Orange and Newark for the
last three years. He had seen her him.
self two or three times week during this
period.
Finally Bryant said he would waive
his claim to the woman and go away
leaving her to Smith. The latter de
clared his entire belief in his wife's
story, and told Bryant he must never
again cross his path. He then departed
for home with his wife upon his arm.

The Presidents Condition.

n
H During the past week the President
has again been in an exceeding precari-
Gus condition. On Monday and Tues
day his death seemed certain and it was
not thought at any time during those
days that he could recover. His stom-
ach refused all food and violent vomit-
ensued which lasted for some hours.
By the Injection of nourishment his
strength was maintained and on We'd
nesday single tea spoonful of beef ex-
extracted was given him and retained in
his stomach without nausea. Since
then his stomach has been able to re-
tain and assimilate small quantities of
liquid food. His case was again aggra-
waited on Wednesday by the swelling of
the Parotid Gland which caused great
pain. [This is the gland that secretes the
saliva he swelling the physicians state
was caused by inability to take food and
consequently no drain on the continued
secretionsl. At this writing Saturday

Guiteau Attacks a Guard.

WASHINGTON, August 17.-Considera-
BILE excitement was caused here this
morning by a report that Guiteau, the
assassin, had made desperate effort to
escape from the jail, attempting to kill
one of the guards.
The deputy warden of the jail denies
the story of Guiteau's assault upon
guard. General Croeker, the warden,
was absent last night. This denial is
not altogether credited here. 1t is
claimed that the occurrence really took
place, but that the deputy warden, real
izing that it was careless management
to let Guiteau get hold ofa knife in the
absence of the warden, is trying to pro-
tect himself by denying that the thing
happened.

turn the soldier shot one of the latter

VIZ hear it said that the authorities OF
the B. & o. railroad despair of getting
privilege from the Council to build
their through line OF road through the
city Of Wheeling, and will make no iur.
ther effort to that end. Whether the
Hempfield will be extended to the coke
regions, we have not heard. 1t seems
to Us the company might find it protita
bic to build its line from Washington,
Pa, on to the Connellsyille road, and
through trains, by the aid OF powerful
helpers, could be put through the city
on the present route up Six
teenth street. We suppose the
company cannot put down a
double track on Sixteenth street, but il
can place double track on its ground
below the depot south Of the creek,
and then by keeping q helper actively
engaged about all the time it might pub
the many freight trains which will pass
over the road up through East Wheel
ing. This win not be very desirable
thing for either the company or the
.ity, but it win be better for both than
10 road at all, and better than tunnel
~ way Of Boegs' Run.
