a RELIG IOUS RAR IN NEW HAVEN.

Neo Raren, Conn. stpt There is bitter
fight going on over the Bible Question in the
public schools. Two meetings were held this
week by each faction. Among those who
favor the restoration of religious exercises in
the schools are all the Catholic clergy and
many prominent Republican politicians, In
cndingiPot master Sperry. The opposing party
met tonight. Professors Summer aud Brew
er, Of Yale. spoke against sectarian schools.
Professor Sommer said that the school system
is in danger, and that ths cry of no religion is
an attack on the public schools. The fHht
started over an attempt Of the Board Of Edu-'

school, and the priests last Sunday advised
the congregation to vote against any school
fund appropriation. A member of tle Board
of Education says that If no funds are raised
the schools will be closed. Professor Summer

Divorced and Remarked.

Tuesday afternoon a young couple got
on the excursion train here on their way
! West, who had just been married a second
time under peculiar circumstances. Four
years ago V. L. Sanders, a young me-
chanic of good character, living at Mount
Crawford, who had been married hardly a
year to a young lady born in Waynesboro,
had a difficulty with a neighbor named
Dovel and killed him. There was no doubt
of the blow having been given by Sanders,
though there were no witnesses present to
testify as to how it was given. The prose-
cution contended that it was done with a
weapon, while the defence claimed that
it was given in sudden passion with the
hand. The man had died of conclusion of
the brain. The prisoners young wife
staid by him during the trial and showed
the greatest devotion to him. The end
was a sentence to four Years in the State
prison. After the husband had been in
prison a short time the wife. under the
advice of her friends, availed herself of
the provision of the law which divorces
the wife of a convict, and obtained a di-
vorce. In prison. young Sanders main
tanned the good character for ~steadiness
and industry that he had before he went
there, and under prison regulations his
term was shortened forty-two days for
every year. A few days ago the time ex-
PRED and Sanders returned home, a free
man. His former wife was living with
her mother, and the n%eighbors say from
the day it was known that he was in the
village a change was visible in her man
ner, and a long-absent cheerfulness re-
turned. For some days Sanders made no
attempt TO see her, but last week they met
and the old love proved the winner. On
Saturday they went to Harrisonburg, ard
were remarked. The act gave great Of
fence to the friends of both, and when the
couple got back from Harrisonburg to Mt.
Crawford the mother of the girl refused to
let her enter the house. A brother of the
groom, who felt indignant at the former
conduct of the wife in procuring a di-
vorce, also refused to receive them. They
repaired to the house Of a kind lady in the
n%eighborhood, where they were received.
The young man determined to emlgrate to
the West, there to commence life under
different circumstances, and on Tuesday,
as we have stated, they came to Staunton
and took the train for their new home.
The romantic story, which we get from a
neighbor and friend of the groom, was the
staple for conversation in the village which
they lave left.

The BARRIERS on Sunday Shaving.

Last Tuesday night, MI. G. G.. Gooch,
presented TO the council a petition from a
number Of BARRIERS in the city asking for
a Sunday lay to prohibit the opening of
barber shops on that day.
Mr.. Barke-WhQ is it signed by?
Mr.. Goech-It is signed by all the bar
bers in the city except one, and he assures
me he is in favor Of it.
Mr.. Fultz-Well, if they all want to shut
up Sunday why don't they shut up, there is
no ordinance prohibiting their closing.
Mr.. Gooch-They haven't confidence in
each other that all will keep closed.
Mr.. Burke-I don't see that if a set of
men can't manage their own business,
through lack of confidence, that the city
should be called on to step IN and pass laws
to aggage it.
The petstiop was then referred to the
Ordinance coaafqe2iittee, to be reported on
hereafter,

The Sharpest Thief Yet.

On Wednesday of last week there passed
through Staunton the sharpest swindler
that has yet made a hit in Virginia. His
name is H. B. Breed, and he was the
operator at the Western Union Telegraph
office in Ha%rrisonburg, and, of course,
familiar with the correspondence Of the
business men there. On the day before, he
arranged with young Hyde, of Staunton,
to come to H~arrisonburg, Wednesday, and
fill his place temporarily. This being
fixed, he took one of the company's blank
messages and wrote on it thus:
NORFOLK, VA, 18th.
JNO. 6. EFFINGER-Harrisonburg:
Send; by to-day's express, to John b:
Boylan, Ivy Depot, Virginia, two hundred
and forty-two dollars in currency. Will
remit the amount Friday. Answer.
M. L. T. DAVIS.
Effnger, thinking it genuine, wrote a
message that he would do so. and went to
the express office and sent the money.
Breed hired a buggy Wednesday morning,
drove to Mt. Crawfoed, took the Valley
train for Staunton, took a train on the
G. & o. for Ivy Depot, and arrived there
that evening. He went to the express Of
flee and, representing himself as John B.
Boylan." receipted for the package and
left by the next train east, since which
nothing has been heard from him. He
was also a defaulter to the Western Union
Company for $3.50. He sent his wife and
child away from Harrisonburg some two
weeks ago. He is a sallow-faced, bow
legged, medium-sized young fellow, with
black hair and moustache, and played in
the H~arrisonburg band. Young Hyde OBJ
tanned the telegram from Mr.. Efinger,
and forwarded it to Superintendent J. w.
Kats, in Richmond, for which Mr.. E. had
him arrested, and he was bailed in $500 to
appear before the Mayor tomorrow, on
the charge Of obtaining the paper by false
pretences. Miss Kyrick, of Waynesboro,
has been appointed to take charge Of the
Harrisonburg office.
