ONE WIFE TOO MANY.
No. Puts Her Husband and Wife No.
Behind the Bars.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 11.-Joseph w. Will
son, foreman of the John NJ. Moore shoe
factory occupies a cell in tho city prison
tonight. A young woman whom he mar
ried IN Putnam county last February oc-
cupies another cell, while wife No. l is
master of the situation.
Fifteen years ago Wilson, who came
from Birmingham, England, married in
Putnam county his bride being 10
years his senior. For IA years
they lived together, constantly quarrel
ing, when the husband departed for new
fields. After being absent some time the
deserted wife wrote him that if he would
come and get three children she would
give him no further trouble. She had
chance to marry again. She said Wilson
went back to Putnam county and not
only took away the children, but also an
other wife, bringing all to At
lanta. The family has lived
here happily until wife No.
appeared upon the scene yesterday She
decided TO stir up a mess, and mad her
husband arrested for bigamy, and wife
No she put behind the bars on another
criminal charge. Wilson admits the pos
session of two wives. He says he
thought No. l meant what she said and
would trouble him no more, especially as
he regularly contributed to her support.
AS a result of his confidence. in wife No.
l he is now in serious trouble.

BAKERS APPOINTMENT.
BE Was Recommended to Gov. Nor
then as a Good Democrat.

Atlanta Ca, Oct. 11.-Referring to the
appointment of Richard F. Baker as
gauger, which appears to have been crit
icised in Savannah, Collector Trammell
said to-day to the MORNING News cor
respondent: when I reported that posi-
ton in making, out my list of appoint
ments it was not applied for. A negro
named Morse held the office. thought
that a change was necessary under the
circumstances, and was at loss how to
proceed, for there had been no application
filed | wrote to personal friend, hold
ing an honorable position in Savannah
and requested him, as good democrat, TO
send me a recommendation. The name
of Mr.. Baker came back indorsed by sew
eral of the most prominent citizens and
democrats in Savannah. Nothing that
remember in those Endorsements men
toned him as populist, and it is very
natural under the circumstances that
should appoint him. However l shall in
vestigate the matter and if l find that
Mr.. Baker is as Objectionable as the re-
ports make out l shall certainly see to it
that he does not get the place, as it is not
yet too late"
