THE OPEN SEANCE
Another Husband Living,

John X. McChesney last Saturday fled
Il bill III equity to annul the marriage between
himself and Harriet l. NlcChesncy. The petition
sets forth that both parties are residents of the
District, and Oh January 9, 1851. the complainant
married Harriet l. Allen, under the maiden name
of Harriet /. Martin, at BeatOn, Fau9uicr County
Virginia. 1t seems however, that at that time she
was already married to Henry Alien, from whom
she had not been divorced and who still lives He
claims to have entered into the contract in good
faith, she representing that her first husband had
been killed in the late war of the rebellion But
the fact was that she knew of his being alive and
for reasons best known to herself declined to tell
most probably because ii would prevent the con-
summation of the second marriage They have

nounces iegitimately to be his, but docs not ask

Two Sunday Fires.

The Sabbath quiet yesterday was twice
disturbed by the excitement which attends an
alarm of fire. a little after nine o'clock in the
morning fire broke out in the engine room at
tached to Christian Heurich's brewery, No. 1929
Twentieth street. The fire spread into the stables
adjoining and damaged the property to the ex-
tent of So, 900. Mr.. Heurich has an insurance of
81 800 in the German American Insurance Com
pany upon the damaged portion of his establish
ment.
About three o'clock in the afternoon there
was much smoke and confusion in the old Co.
1um bia House, 325 Pennsylvania avenue, kept by
Mrs. Susan J. Linsley An alarm offre was turned
in, and about thousand people, mostly children,
gathered upon the scene. The fire department
did not go into service. 1t was discovered that
one of Mrs. Linsley's guests, occupying a third
story back room, had been smoking in bed, and, as
it is supposed, carelessly threw lighted match on
the floor. The bedding took fire, made lots of
smoke, and did about $40 worth of damage before
the flames were eXtinguiShed

The Tide of Immigration.

The tide of foreign immigration is
setting in with a volume hitherto In
precedented. The season is hardly
open, but the arrivals are already nu-
merous beyond all expectation. The
old world is emptying its crowded and
discontinued population upon our shores
like a living flood. Tuesday there
arrived at New York nearly seven thous-
and of these refugees from hard work,
poor pay, high taxes and restricted
liberty-the largest number of any day
on the Castle Garden record. Most of
these were subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm,
and sturdy haters of Bismarckian rule.
Many of the German immigrants now
arriving are said to bring with them con
siderable sums of money. One banking
firm of New York cashed drafts to the
immigrants arriving on three German
steamers to the extent of 800, 900. 1t is
not to be presumed that all had drafts
upon the same firm, nor does this money
represent the actual wealth brought by
these people. All have more or less
cash about their persons. The Bulletin
mentions an instance of one who, the
other day, in paying for a telegram,
pulled out a bag containing $500 in gold.
Most of the Germans are locating in
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
