The appearance of two women, cacti
named Mrs. Myron Weeks, at police head
quarters jesU-rday afternoon in epiest of a
warrant for Myron Weeks, an old one
armed pensioner, on the charge ot bigamy,
brought to light a curious matrimonial
complication.
Mrs. Weeks No. 1 was the spokeswoman
and all she said ami did wah cheerfully and
emphatically indorsed by her namesake
No. 2 i
As the old soldierls alleged second mar
riage took place in'Arundel county, the two
wives were informed that in onler to legin
criminal proceedingsagainsthimthey would
be obliged to go to Annapolis, it being the
county teat of Arundel county. -
It appears from tbeir story that in May,
1890, Mrs. Amanda Graham, a widow, who
then and now niils at No. 2!!3 1'enn
sy'vanla avenue was married to Myron
V I'kn at the Mttroimlltnn M. H. Church.
Th'j lived togttlfrr at Mrs. Graham's resi
dence only thnv weeks, when Weeks, after
getting what little money Ids i ife had,
deserted her and loft the city. She has never
heard from him since but says that Miehas
often seen him oi( the street cars.
About two years"Jater Weeks made his
appearance In Odenton, Md , and became
acquinled with a Miss Zink It was there
on September 1, 1SU2. the two were made
man and wife T1k Ir.cd happily to
gether In that way bacK Maryland town
for nearly three years On May 25 last
the two took a trip to Baltimore, and ft
being near pension day the old soldier
left his wife, saying that he was going to
Washington -to get Ins money and would
return the next day Nothing has since
been seen or heard of him by the woman
About a week arter hit, disappearance,
becoming alarmed, Mrs Weeks No 2 put a
personal in a Baltimore paper in ordc?
to ascertain, If po.it)le, something of
his whereabouts No response to the ad
vertisement was ever received, and the
Maryland wife concluded to let the matter
drop
In looking ocr an old copy of the Balti
more paper tome time ago the Washington
wife, No 1, happened to see the personal
regarding the disappearance of Myron
Weeks, and noticing that it wa his wife
who sought information about him, be
came alarmed and suspicious that he had
deceived her
She wrote to the Mrs. My ron Weeks in
Maryland, and after a short correspond
ence the two womeii came to the conclu
sion that they had both been married to
the same man Wife No 1 united wife
Vo 2 to come to this city, and about 10
o'clock yesterday morning the latter ar
rived here
After talking the matter over, the Wash
ington wife concluded that as hhe was
Weeks' first and legal wire she would
take the Initiative in the matter of proce
cutlon. They will leave for Annapolis thib niorn-ms-
Myron "Weeks is about firty-five years
of age. His Mippo,ed that he is at present
somewhere m the city, as bis first wife
says that she saw him the other day on a
street car. When ieeii last night by a
Times reporter, both wives, "who were to
get her at No l's resilience, positively re
fused to speak for publication. The Wash
ington -wife appears to be anxious to have
her guilty husband punished, and the Mary
land wife, nit hough of the same opinion,
seems much distressed over the whole af
fair. "Wnslilnstoiiliiiu, in Ni'v "York.

OPPOSE IINIITil
Resolutions Adopted by South
east Washington Citizens.
COUNSEL TO BE EMPLOYED
Erection ot it l'lnnt nt the Poot of
South Capitol Street "Would Tiu
pedo tho I'roirre-,-. of That Section
of tin City Its l'luco Is Outside
tli" City T.linlt!.
If there is any way possible to avoid it
the citizens of Southeast Washington do
not intend that any more garbage shall
be dumped at the south terminus of South
Capitol street. ;
The met ting of the South Washington Citi
zens' Association, held last evening under
theauspicesorthe"CommitteeorTen," was
la i gel y attended and decisive action taken
to oppose the re-establishment of a garbage
plant at the place mentioned.
The committee held a long session before
the association met, the outcome of which
was a tet of resolutions which will be sub-'
milted to the District Commissioners this
morning.
The meeting was presided oer by Mr.
Henry Storay, secretary of the committee
of ten, who stated It-, object to be to deviM
plans to prevent the Commissioners from re
establishing a garbage plant at the loot of
South Capitol street.
The resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted, are as follows
VIGOKUOS PROTEST.
Whereas, the accepted bidder for the
contract for removing aud destroying the
garbage of the city of Washington has
proposed the ertction of a garbage crema
tory at the foot of South Capitol street,
and the iuatter i-s now under considera
tion by the Honorable Commissioners of
the District or Columbia
Kesolvcd, That the erection of a garbage
crematory or reduction plant at the foot
of South Capitol street would be detri
mental to our health and comfort and
fatal to the value of our property and the
prosperity of our section;
Iteoletl, That a crematory at the foot
of South Capitol street la not demanded
by public necessity and would be epe
ciallj uiiwIm; in view of the probability
of the early erection of a bridge at the
Toot of South Capitol street, and that
street becoming an important thorough
fare, Congress already having made ap
propnation for a surey and the engineers
being now at work
Resolved, That the approval by the Com
missioners of the foot of South Capitol
street as a site for a garb-ige plant would
be an unwarranted imposition upon the
people of South Washington.
Resolved, That forcing the Smith sjstem
upon an unwilling contractor tends to re
lieve him of responsibility for unsatis
factory results, and inditferent service is
therefore to be expected.
Resolved, That the true solution of the
garbage question is in the establishment of
one or more plants outride of the city
limits.
READVERTISEMEXT FOR PIUS.
Resolved, That the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia arc urged to take sucu
final action as will make permanent pro
vision for the disposition of the garbage
outside of the city limits and avoid the
agitation and opposition which Avould in
evitably follow the approval of sites within
the city. a
Resorted, That inasmuch as bias much
lower than the accepted bid were tiled, and
as the Commissioners have made an inves
tigation of the various systems of garbage
reduction and destruction and more fully
considered the whole subject, public inter
ests and economy require that they reader
tise for proposals, designating whatsj'-teni
or systems may be used and .stipulating
that the plant or plants be used outside
of the city limits.
Resolved, That a committee of ten is
directed to wait upon the Commissioners
and voice our protest against the erection
of a garbage crematory or reduction plant
in our midst and present a copy of our
petition for the removal of the former re
duction plant.
Resolved, That the committee of ten
is authorized to take any further netc.sary
and proper steps to prevent the establish
ment of a garbage plant at the foot of South
Capitol street.
If the committee can get a hearing the
resolutions will be presented to the Cora
nnsfioners this morning. Dr. E. C. C.
Winter, president of the association, will
accompany the committee and present Urn
resolutions.
Mr. W. A. PJchards, chairman of the
committee of ten, taid that as this matter
could not be carried on successfully with
out legal advice, it was best to make some
provision to secure able counsel. Mr. M.
J. Brown suggested that those present start
the subscription, he going down for $3.
This was increased by Mr. Thomas Martin
$20; John Quinn, $20, and the Banner.
Steam Laundry, $20, with the remark
that this amount w ould be doubled if nec
essary. On motion of Mr. E G. Gntchell, the
chairman of the committee was empowered
to employ counsel to look after the case.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the committee of ten.
