A DRAYMAN’S WIVES
PERFECT PEACE IN PRISON. PHILADELPHIA, December 6. Every man is presumed by the law to be capable of protecting himself from bis wife—but if he has several the law is not altogether unreasonable. A gaolkceper on duly at the gate in Philadelphia was approached in the early part of the evening by a broadshouldered man, who said he was a drayman. On the other side of the road were two women talking in high and angry tones. The drayman admitted to the warder that ho had committed bigamy, and begged for protection from his angry wives. The gatekeeper had compassion. The man who had loved too much was given a peaceful night’s lodging and charged in the morning with bigamy.
