OuR German Lutheran friends debated
acurious question yesterday at their Sy-
nodical session in this city, viz: the
scriptural relation OF marriage with u
deceased wiEe's sister. The arguments
pro and con are given in our local report
Of proceedings. The report indicates
that there is::u decided opposition among
some OF the members TO recoguizingsuch
marriages as scrirturaI. Those who are
curious in this matter will take the trou-
BILE to read the report for themselves.
The debate will be continued to-day.
The question thus raised ia not new by
any means. 1t comes up periodically in
England, in Parliament, aud was up not
long ago, at which time n very strong ef.
fort was made to abolish the law forbid.
ding marriage with deceased wite's
sister. But while the sentiment in favor
Of abOlishing the law is the growing scnti.
mcnt OF England, and will finally pre-
vail, il was, nevertheless, not strong
enough this time 10 effect the desired
change. There was the same law in Vir.
Sinia when we were part Of that State,
and such may still be the law, but it was
always avoided by going into other S.atcs
and reforming the ceremony.
The debate yesterday shows how hard
it is 10 make out satisfactory case from
a scripturAl standpoint against such
marriages. Logic is logic, and no man
can be convinced that a relative by mar.
tiaGe stands in the position of n rcla.
tive by blood. PhySlcalIy there is a
world Of difference, and it is only by as.
Sumlng u doubtful construction OF the
Levitical degrees as defined by Moses
that theological case has been made out
against marriage with deceased wiie's
sister.
Without mixing ourselves up with the
discussion now going on among our
Lutheran friends on this subject, we
would like to ask them what. they do
with the case Of the woman who had
seven husbands, especially with the record
found in the 10Th verse of the 18th chap
ter Of Mark, reading,as..follows:
"Master, Moses wrote unto us, il a
mans brother die, and leave his wife be.
hind him, and leave no children, that his
brother should take his wife and raise up
seed unto his brother"
ltthis should not meet with sufficient
favor in the eyes OF the brethren now In
our midst, we would cite them to the
book of Ruth, lst chapter, 18th and 18th
verses The old originals, way back in

VIZ referred some time ago 10 the fact
that the Riverside Iron Works Of this
city had imported several car loads Of
tin direct from Liverpool 10 Wheeling at
II cents freight per hundred pounds,
rate hardly more than half the present
rate from Baltimore to Wheeling on the
same class Of goods. The case is, it would
seem, not an isolated one. Tin is being
shipped through from Liverpool to Chi.
cAgo for less than it is shipped to New
York. Why this is 80 does not appear.
1t seems, however, that contracts Of this
character can be made in Europe, and
We Judge by some remarks in the New
York Times that they are not confined to
tin. That paper expresses the npprchen-
sion that the wholesale trade Of New
York is being thus threatened by interior
cities. 1t shows that 100 tons Of tin
plates sent from Liverpool to New York
would pay freight cost Of $3.50 o. in
currency; while il sent from Liverpool
through New York to Chicago, the freight
cost would be only 1926 50. In other
words, the European steamship companies
running vessels into New York transport
one hundred tons Of goods from Liverpool
to Chicago for So 73 less than it costs 10
bring the same goods to New York.
When II is remembered that the buyer Of
these one hundred tons Of goods in New
York must pay some 500 or $500 to have
them railroaded from there to Chicago,
it will be seen at once why her jobbing
trade is threatened with Nnnihilation.
It's no wonder that New York mer.
chant complains that the grass is be.
ginning to grow in Cliff street" in that
city. CIil'street is the great heavy hard.
ware street OF New York.

THERE is n slight unpIeassntness Of
feeling between Washington, Pa, and
Waynesburg, on the ground that the
former did not contribute muniiicently
to the Narrow Gauge railroad now build.
ing. The Reporter Of yesterday replies
caustically to taunt OF the Waynesburg
Republican in regard to niggardiness on
the part Of the Washington people, by
remarking that they have spent large
sums in the IIempfeld and CHARTERS
roads, and that the building Of these
roads at 20 much cxpensc to Washington
county has Injured to the benefit Of
Greene county, and made her present
narrow gauge enterprise necessity II.
we'll as possibility.
There is force in these remarks Of the
Reporter. The Greene county people have
made terrible amount Of fuss over thcir
narrow gauge project, and taken their
time to do what they have done go far.
