was made before she started to load in
order to determine the advisabiity of
having her repaired at once This, how
ever, was found unnecessary and the
loading OF the vessel is now in progress
The tug Prudence of Philadelphia, while
on her way up the bay with q barge in
tow Wednesday, lost her rudder, which
was broken off in the heavy ice coming
down from the Susquehanna river. A

the tug succeeded in reaching bay point

Husband Does Not Rob Wife.

The police, however, were powerless,
for the reason that the money had been
taken by her husband. "A husband can
not be charged with robbing his wife,
she was told.
The police finally found evidence suffi-
cient to convince them that Carlton was
a bigamist. Inspector Boardman then
informed the loser of the S1,SOO that the
former marriage referred to annulled the
Alexandria ceremony.
Correspondence with the Mississippi and
Alabama authorities brought Maj Syl-
vester information that Carlton was the
alias of DR.. Ackert and last night the
man was arrested. Detective Vermillion
will make an effort to have the prisoner
turned over TO him to be brought here for
trial.
1t is probable, Inspector Boardnan says,
that charge of bgamy will be preferred
against him in Alexandria.
