I would suspect that his first wife Susan "remarried" as per this 1901:

SMITH, Susan Wife Married F 33 1868 Stourbridge, Worcestershire
BINGHAM, Daisy Step Daughter F 12 1889 Stourbridge, Worcestershire
SMITH, Renda Daughter F 1 1900 Stourbridge, Worcestershire
SMITH, Mary Ann Daughter F 0 (8 MOS) 1901 Stourbridge, Worcestershire

Although he appeared alone on the passenger list he was apparently travelling with wife Annie (25) according to this:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Immigration Records, Special Boards of Inquiry, 1893-1909
Name: Jeremiah Bingham
Birth Year: abt 1869
Arrival Date: 6 Jun 1895
Arrival Age: 26
Ship Name: Indiana
Nativity/Origin: English
Series Title: Records of the Special Boards of Inquiry in District No. 4 (Philadelphia), compiled 08/28/1893-11/16/1909
Record Group Title: Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 1787-2004
Record Group Number: Record Group 85
ARC Identifier: 4483061
Archive Roll: 1
Volume: Volume 2 Apr 2, 1895 - Sep 27, 1895

They were detained for 2 days pending investigation. It confirms he did indeed have $1,000. They were held because they had no friends, relatives or address to go to. They were released when it was confirmed he had a railroad order to New York and an offer of work as an elevator man in an hotel and Annie an offer of kitchen work.

Hi Carolyn welcome to the boards, are you wanting info about them before they left England or after they went to the US?

For reference, this looks like them in 1920:

1920 United States Federal Census about Jerimiah Bingham
Name: Jerimiah Bingham [Jerimiah Bringham]
Age: 50
Birth Year: abt 1870
Birthplace: England
Home in 1920: Toledo Ward 7, Lucas, Ohio
Race: White
Gender: Male
Immigration Year: 1897
Relation to Head of House: Head
Marital Status: Married
Spouse's Name: Sarah Bingham
Father's Birthplace: England
Mother's Birthplace: England

Household Members:
Name Age
Jerimiah Bingham 50
Sarah Bingham 46 - wife, b England
Esther Bingham 15 - dau, b NY
Edith Bingham 13 - dau, b Ohio
Edith Egginton 29 - sis-in-law, b England. Arrived US 1908

Can't make out Jeremiah's occupation.

Seems to be some confusion about when the family arrived. Jeremiah states naturalised 1894 but don't think he could have been naturalised before he arrived!
