A Former Lambert-villain Arrested.
The Philadelphia papers give an ac-
count of the arrest of Michael Bowdren,
saloon keeper, of Third and Kerlin Sts.,
Chester, Pa, and well. known in this city,
having formerly lived here, who has been
held in 81 900 bail by Alderman Allen to
answer charge of bigamy. He is also un-
der 5000 bail upon a charge of breaking
into his own house. Bowdren, it is alleg-
ed, married Miss Maggie Palmer, ofSouth
Chester, on the 9Th of August, 1876, and
until within the past week she supposed
that she was his legitimate wife. Do
quent visits to Philadelphia woman, re-
Gently led to an investigation into bis past
life, which resulted in the discovery that
his legal wife was living in New York city.
1t appears that he had married Miss Annie
Murphy at st. Peters Cathedral, in New
York, in 1870, and afterward lived with
her at Lambertville, where he was en-
ployed as a painter. In 1875 he deserted
her and came to Chester. Here he met
Miss Palmer, and married her in 1876
Three children are tho fruit Of this mar.
rage.
His first wife appeared before Magis
trate Allen and fully established the mar.
riage in 1870. His second wife then had
him arrested, aud be was held in $500
bail to provide for her children.
In the meantime Bowdren sold out hi,
saloon, but his second wife would not ad
nit him to the house, and he broke open
the door, whereupon he was arrested fol
forcible entry and held in $500 bail.
| Yesterday his bondsmen obtained {
bail-piece and had him arrested. Hi
counsel went to Media to get out wri
of habeas corpus. Mrs. Bowdren, thu
second wife, still holds possession of thu
house.

The Tables Turned.

The Tables Turned.
"Dick" Bellis," of junction, who a
few years ago carried the keys to our
county Jail, was him self committed to
that institution on Wednesday evening.
Ever since his retirement from office, the
ex-Sheriff, owing to an over-indulgence
of his appetite for strong drink, has been
getting lower and lower in the scale, until
the recent Grand Jury thought it their
duty to check his wild career by indict-
ing him for selling liquor without IL
cense. "Dick, about the first of April
had some trouble with his landlord. He
refused to vacate the premises occupied
by him as an inn in the town of Junction,
and threatened to shoot his landlord if he
attempted to dispossess him. The land
lord, in retaliation, made his complaint
to the Grand Jury, with the result above
stated. Under-Sherff Corcoran and Spe-
cial Deputy Allen left here on Wednes-
day afternoon for Junction to secure their
man, and brought him in by the evening
train. Knowing the character of the man,
they anticipated some difficulty in ar
resting him, but the chief resistance they
met with came from the women folks of
the house, who talked something about
shooting, until Deputy Corcoran whipped
out his revolver and sgnfied his willing
ness to engage in that pastime, when
their anxiety for war subsidized. The ex-
official thought it rather hard lines to be
incarcerated, but as he had nobody to go
his bail the requirements of the law had
to be carried Democrat Adeertiser

A Real Necessity.

A Real Necessity.
We presume there is hardly lady to
be found In our broad land who, If she
does not already possess sewing ma
chine, expects some day to become the
owner of one.
But after the mind has been fully made
up to purchase one of these indispensable
articles, the question arises as to what
kind of machine to buy.
1t should be 81 simply constructed that
tho most experienced can successfully
operate it. The other points mainly to
be considered, and which are the most de-
sirable, are durability, rapidity, capacity
for work, ease of operation, regularity of
motion, uniformity of tension, and ST.
lence while in operation.
The "Light-Rupning New Home" fills
the above requirements, and is said to
combine the go3d points of all sewing
machines, with the addition of many new
improvements and labor-saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who is
the happy possessor of one may rest as
sured she has indeed treasure.

New York SrN: In the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1882, every man, woman
aud child in the United States, white,
black, ,or mixed, was taxed upon an aver
age over seven dollars, under the opera
tion of the present iniQuilous tariff and
dhe internal revenue abomiustion. The
State, county, aud city taxes for tho same
year fell below The average; but taking
the two elements together, the taxation in
round numbers may be called fourteen
dollars head. or seventy dollars for an
ordinary family of tive prrSons. This
sum represents about one.afth of the
average yearly wages of labor in most OF
our factories.
This heavy burden falls especially up,
on the workers for wages. With large
families and small compensation. they
