LOVE, BIGANY AND ATTEMPTED svUICIDE. A Pretty Girl Makes An Abortive Attempt on Her Life at Newark, N. J.—A Very Peculiar Case. Miss Gertrude Beamer, a young lady residing at No. 71 William street, in the city of Newark, N. J., made @ desperate effort to put a period to her eartbly existence yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, under circumstances no less singular than peculiar, Ten or eleven years ago her mother, a re- spectable widow lady residing at Newton, Sussex county, N. J., became acquainted with a gallant stonemason from Newark, named Cnichester, then a fine, hearty looking man, of about forty, who claimed to be @ bachelor, The widow Beamer had considerable clanus to good looks, and, besides, had an exceedingly winning way. At all events, Mr. Chichester, as itis alleged by the lady, was soon suitor at her feet, and in due course of time, as she further alleges, married her in tue form and manner prescribed by the Jaw of the State of New York, where the ceremony took place. ‘Ihe couple went to reside at Elmira, taking with them Ittue Gertie, the only article of vertu tne late lamented Beamer had left. Here they lived happily for several years, until a painful story reached the ears of Mrs, Chichester late Beamer, to the effect that her John nad had a wife aiready when he paid court to her, and that that wif was still living, though confined as a lunatic m the State Asylum at Trenton, Her dream of happiness was abruptly verminated when it was ascertuined beyond perad- venture that the cruel story was true. She, how- ever, for the sake of her reputation and that of her darling daughter, resoived to keep all those things secret and ponder them in her heart. Alter living together, a3 the wronged woman states, for several years in New York and in New Jersey, John became tired of domestic life, and com- menced abusing her and the little giri most shame- lully, until finavy a separation took place. By and by the little girl grew to be a weil favored young Jady, and soon the beaux flooded around her lke mosquitoes round a bright light, Among these was a@ young lawyer of Elmira, who paid assiduous court, but, though the maiden looked kindly on bun the step-father mani- fested a contrary fecling, even alter he bad ceased to live with the young Jady’s moter. Finaliy Miss Beamer and her mother located themselves at New- ark, N.J, im hopes that Chichester would assist them 1n gaining a living. Instead, however, as Mrs, Beamer-Chichester declares, of he!ping them, he has persecuted them greatiy, sothat both are now weary of ilte, and yesierday afvernoon the young girl, in the presence of her moiner, swailowed @ large quantity of belladonna. A physician was promptly called in and ‘proper antidotes were adiinistered, happily with the best resuits. 1n a few hours the young lady was out of danger. She has repeatedly told her mother that what with her own trowples of the heart and those of @ more material character she was completely heartsick and would much rather die than longer exist. Chief of Police Cloud was nowied of the occurrence. FIRES IN BOSTON. The South Boston Insnne Asylum and the Carney Hospital Badly Damaged. Boston, Dec, 25, 1869, An alarm, from box 138 at a little after two o'clock this morning, proceeded from the laundry building in the rear of the Boston Insane Asylum, near the Point, South Boston, The fire broke out in vhe drying room of the laundry, in its base- ment, and when discovered had gained such nead- way that a second alarm was sounded to secure a stronger force of engines and hose, In the second story of the building were rooms for the accomtuoda- tion of the servants, nurses and others, all of whom lost nearly all their clothing. The fire, fortunately, did not extend to the main building. AS an alarm had bntashort ume previously been given at box” 136, for the fire at Carney Hospital, 1t was thought best to have the alarm given several times that there ulight be no confusion, The cause of tue fre is not certainly known, but it originated in the drying room of the Jaundry about the furnace, The wash- rooiu on the first oor is not much injured, nor is the kitchen adjacent, but the ironing and’ drying rooms are buroed out, as is also the sewlng room above. The kitchen stores were not much injured, having been covered up to protect taem from water. ‘The nurses’ rooms above are all badly injured by waier, and the floors and plastering are broken in Pare ‘The root tn the corner 1s also badly damaged y fire, The fire was not discovered until 1t nad burst up from the lower floor. Furniture was re- moved wherever it was possible, but the smoke was 80 dense it interfered much with the efforts to save property. Five steamers were on hand, but, as the hydrants did not furnish water enough, vwo of them took water from the docks, The building which was 80 badly burned was in the upper story built new but a little while ago, at an expense of about $10,000, The Fire Department were occupied nearly an hour and ahalf before the flames were suodued. The loss will probably be about $5,000, The fire spread very rapidly, and had there been a strong breeze the damage would have been muco greater. ‘There was no disturbance or demonstrations such as might have been expected under tha circum- stances, but everything in the wards of the patients was nearly as quist as usual. Just before one o'clock an alarm was given from box 138, It proved to originate from the Carney Hospital, on Old Harbor street, South Boston. The Fire Department was quickly on hand, and soon eXtnguished & small fire in the basement of the chapel of this institu. uon, The fire was confined to the basement, It originated in an explosion of a steam heating ap- paratus. The explosion was occasioned by a de- ficiency in the supply of water furnished the boiler. ‘The brick work of the tenement and the walls and ceiling of the chapel weré cracked from the violence # Che concussion, ‘The loss will be from $1,500 to SHIPPING NEWS, Almanac for New York—This Day.
