A Much Married Man.

New YORK, Dec. 23.-William G. Russell
was placed on trial yesterday in the Kings
county Court of Sessions. Two women who
had certificates of marriage, another who
claimed to be his wife, and three
young women who were ready to testify that
they received offers of marriage from him.
were in court. Russell, who is about rs
years old, and who dresses fashionably,
seemed careless about his fate. Assistant
District Attorney Backus told the story
OF the prisoners marriage to Ella Gibney,
and how, after he had abandoned
her, she went to warn Henrika Rupp, to
whom she learned that he was attentive, at
which interview the mutual discovery was
made that both had been wronged. He
called Ella G;bney to the stand, and as
she was advancing Russell nervously jumped
up and exclaimed, 81 am guilty" He
then withdrew his plea of not guilty,
and finally pleaded guilty. He was re-
manded for sentence.

--sseneral Local News,

Thomas NJ. Ogle, the new Liquor Bailiff,
has issued the following circular:
The undersigned, having been appointed
Special Bailiff by the Superior Couit, in
place of William H. Brady, Esq, resigned,
hereby informs all persons doing business in
the city of Wilmington, under the
Act of General Assembly of Delaware, passed
April 5, 1881, entitled can Act for the
Suppression of Intemperance," that he pro-
poses to enter upon the discharge of his
duties upon the strict principle of fidelity
to the law, in all It's several parts, as defined
by the Court, and with an impartiality that
shall be just and fair to every one with
whom his duties shall bring him into con-
tact.
He further proposes to be courteous In his
official intercourse, and will expect, there
fore, not only civility and politeness in
return, but also full and hearty co-opera-
ion from all lawful dealers in liquor, in his
efforts to break up those illegal and mis-
chievous places of resort in which minors
and Sunday drinking are allowed and en-
couraged. 1t is to these unlicensed and
clandestine establishment that crime owes
much of its origin, and In their continuance
the legitimate traffic in liquor may trace very
largely the suspicion and odium which at
taches to it, in the popular mind. Hence it
becomes alike the duty and interest of all
good citizens to aid the hand of Law and
Justice in arresting and Graduating so dam
aging an evil from the community.
1t is deemed unnecessary to say, that
while vigilance and perseverance shall be
constantly employed in bringing to justice
all violators of the law, ready disposition
will at all times be extended toward pro-
tecting those who are in the pursuit of a
strictly legitimate business.

who had stood all yesterday in the wet and
damp. The market yesterday promised to
be unusually large, and by this morning the
line of wagons extended from the railroad
almost to Tenth street, there being, by act
ual count, 1856 in line. BY daylight the
customers began to arrive, the crowd getting
denser and denser, until at 10
O'Clock it was almost impossible TO make
an perceptible headway between Second and
Seventh streets. The farmers had brought
every available bit Of product, animal and
vegetable, they could spare, and the dis
plays offered were tempting both to the
epieure and the gourmand. Turkeys,
geese, rabbits, celery, pigs feet, ducks, sir
loin steaks, carrots, butter, mince meat.

bles generally were commingled in kaleido-

Going TO Bust.

BosToE, MASS, Dec. 23.-The sensa-
tional reports that have been going during
the present week of the financial embarrass-
meme of Jordan. Marsh 81 CO., the largest
dry goods house in New England, have
caused great excitement. Hundreds of tele-
grams have been received from the West

Mr.. Jordan on being questioned last even
ing laughed at and ridiculed the stories, and
not only pronounced them without founda-
tlon but said he could not account for their
origin. Two prominent bankers who are
intimately acquainted with the financial
condition of the firm assert positively
that there are no grounds for these
reports so widely spread. 1t is
stated that a wealthy New York house
telegraphed to Mr.. Jordan that they hal
S400, 600 on deposit which he could have on
call at 4 per cent. Mr.. Jordon promptly re-
