    • "SCHMITTY" IN TROUBLE.

      Albert Smith, a young Berlin musician who is well known in Wellesley, having come here several times with concert companies, has been getting into a peck of trouble over an imprudent matrumonial venture lately. The Berlin News-Record says: - Albert Smith who has married in Galt about a fortnight ago to Mrs. Powley Queen St, Berlin, was arrested, along with is bride, in Galt. They were held on a charge of alleged bigamy and brought to Berlin for trial. William Powley, the elder, and the first husband of the woman under arrest, reached Berlin on Friday, from the Southern States, where he and his son Benjamin have been during the summer and fall. The party reached Berlin safely and were in the hallway leading to the council chamber when Smith saw a chance to escape, suddenly wheeled round, bolted through the open door and cleared the steps at a bound. He was fleet as a hare, and though some chase was given, he succeeded in eluding his pursuers. He carried with him a pair of hand-cuffs. Powley gave bonds for his wife's appearance on Thursday. Smith is not yet caught.
