Marriage Law in Wisconsin


The excitement which has beer
aroused in Wisconsin over the mar
rage question is simply another il
lustration of the condition of oul
muddled marriage law. 1t was dur
ing the just held meeting of the
Presiding Elders of the Methods
Episcopal Church that this vexatiou.
subject was brought forward curious
ly and Unexpectedly by Rev J K
Irish, of Madison, who asserted tina,
nlne-tenths of the married people Of
Wisconsin are not, strictly speaking
married at all. At least, this is the
inference which may rightly be
drawn from his remarks. Mr. Irish's
point was severely legal one, fol
he quoted from the Revised Statutes
of the State, which declare explicit
ly that ministers or priests, before
they shall be authorized to 90
through the act of marrying must
file a copy of their credentials of
ordinations, or some other credentials,
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court
in one of the counties of the state.
Mr.. Irish then proceeded to show
that a large number of the ministers
OF the state had not filed their ere.
dentials, and have not been, there
fore, entitled to solemnized mar.
rage. Invest cation confirmed Mr.
lrish's declaration, and it was then
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to the disgust and
dismay of hundreds of excellent
married persons-that many of the
marriages solemnized in Wisconsin
are in the eyes of the law, withou,
legal sanction; and it must be borne
in mind that the neglect of duty
which is now charged against bung
ling gentlemen of the cloth has maize
its mark upon several generations
Lawye.s who have been interviewed
seem to hold the opinion that the
result of all this will be serious, for
the question of inheritances will
now naturally be disputed over, and
ownership of property will be more
or less in doubt Designing rela-
tiyes who are heartless enough to
take advantage of the Rev. lrish's
e,rpose will be able to make trouble
for theirrespectable married kindred;
and estmable fathers will be sean
ming their matrimonial certificates
with sharp anxiety There is, of
course, an amusing side to this So
cial perpleXity; but from the stand
point Of publi3 morals, such an Illus.
tration of the marriage problem in
a Western State is deplorable. 1t
is hardly conceivable that in u civ
ilized community meu and women
could have so long consented to ac-
cept marriage with loose and almost
criminal ignorance of its laws. The
necessity of a strong and simple
marriage law throughout the country
is proved from day to day in a sutli-
ciently pointed manner.-.No'o York

THE JUDICIAL QUESTION
cANDIDLY DISCUSSED BY OUTSIDERS

Monroe Sentinel There is being
waged in our neighboring Judicial
district, west, spirited contest over
the election OF Circuit Judge. vice
Cothren, present incumbent, whose
term will expire next January. The
Republicans, joined by many prom
inent men of other parties, have
nominated Mr.. George Clementson,
of Grant county, an excellent law
wer and gentleman, and younger
man than Cothren. The time has
come when the people will prefer
men Of refined habits to sit in iudg
meut of the law. and try cases in
volving the sacred rights of citizen
ship. Men whose everyday exam
pie will be clean and noble before
the worldwide at least can control
the appetites and grosser passions
that give scandal Mr.. Clementson
appears to be such a man He is in
the prime of manhood, aud with
some experience as a Judge be will
fill long felt want in the fifth Judi
cial circuit.

and that no Influence or unworthy

THE Muscoda Neacs most clearly
pictures the feelings of an impatient
and Disguised public because Of the
severe penalty fixed upon Sergeant
Mason. who shot at the Assassin
Guiteau Here are its remarks:
a great many mean things have
been done lately, but about the
meanest thing on record since the
murder of Garfield, the vindication
OF Conkling by the United States
Senate, and the cowardly attempt to
defame the character of our dead
hero, is the conviction aud sentence
of Sergeant Mason, the man who
only did what many another would
have done in bis place tried to kill
Gulteau.
Because this old soldier, whose
only pride was in his army life, felt
so keenly the disgrace forced upon
him, in being set as guard over
the assassin of his beloved com
mander, that he could not resist the
very natural impulse TO try = shot AT
the miserable craven; and, aftor be
ing confined for months since in a
loathscme dungeon, so damp that
the whitewash fell from the walls,
and where, at night, rats kept him
awake to the terrible shame land
remor,e, probably, that his shot had
no effect that n good soldier must
feel in his situation, must needs, ac-
cording to most high edict of a
court martial Of West Point military
automatons, be dlshonorably dis
charged from the army, forfeit pay
that is Justly due him for patriotic
service, and pass eight years in the
penitentary at hard labor by the
side of murderers, thieves and
/ scoundrelS-th scum of the earth,
and the sentence is Immediately
sanctioned by General Hancock.
4 But there is one satisfaction that
Mason will have, should this
sentence ever be carried ont,
and that is, he viii enjoy the adj
vantages Of better society while in
/ prison than he did while on trial
+ 1t is true that Mason transgreSsed
+ the law both civil aud military, and
( of course the form of n trial ut least
must be gone through with and a
( sentence passed upon him; but u
sentence 50 outrageously ont Of all
proportion to the crime he commit
ted, and which shows itself to be
merely The cowardly revenge Of
petty military dcspots, meets with
the meXpressIble contempt and lust
indignation Of al sane men, and if
the opportunity ever offers itself,
the people viii not be slow in show,
inc these worthy gentlemen that
such things are not to be forgotten,
chat this country is not under mill
tary rule, and that they will tolerate
no such assumption Of stitf-necked
authority.

BIG FIRE.

A Large Philadelphia Sugar Refinery in
Ruins-Loss Probably S 90, 900, 900.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-The Franklin Su-
gar Refinery of Harrison Havemeyer & Co,
an immense brick structure at Front and AL
mond streets, was partly destroyed by fire early
this morning. The fire broke out at .. Is a. M .
and althou h three alarms were rung it was
not got under control until the block bounded
by Delaware avenue, Swanson, lmond and
Bainbridge streets were destroyed. The block
contained two large buildings, that facing on
Delaware avenue being the mould house, nine
stories high, and that in the rear of the mould
house and extending to Swanson street being
a new building called the filter house. These
buildings were filled with sugar in process of
manufacture and ready for delivery, and both
structures with their contents were destroyed
The loss will probably reach half million
dollars. The centrifugal house and the boiler
house in the block from Swanson to Penn
streets and Almond to Bainbridge streets were
saved.
There were many narrow escapes as the lofty
walls fell, but it is not known that any one was
killed. Louis Lersen, Swede, and one of the
foremen is however missing. He was last seen
attempting to extinguish the flames as his fell
low workmen made their escape from the
building. For long time past the Refinery
has been running day and night, there being
employed about the works 1000 men. Nothing
is known as to the origin of the fire. 1t is re-
marked however that it was burning for nearly
an hour before the alarm was given, but the
workmen who are trained in the use of the fire
apparatus, endeavored to subdue the flames
without the aid of the fire department.
The different members of the firm vary in
their estimates of the losses, but it is believed
now the loss will be 81 200 OOO The total in
surance is stated to be $575, ,o00

The Losses Thro ughout the State Very
Heavy.

fLAiNFIELD, N. j., Sept. 25.-The heavy
ram To-day stopped the falling of the food, and
Mo.e damage is feared unless the storm ceases,
Wnicn now shows no signs of doing SO. Re-
Poros are continually coming in from the sur
rounding country of damage to farms. A
breach has been made in the dam at New Mar
ket, tnree miles from here, and several bridges
Wasned away The iron railroad bridge of the
Lehigh Valley railroad at that point is sinking
steadily, in spite of the efforts of the railroad
men men 70 repair it, and five hundred Thousand
uoiiars Will not repair the damage in the coun-
tles OF Union, Somerset, and Middlesex, to say
nothing. of the losses of railroad and canal
companies, which are enormous.
PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 2S--Rain is falling
here again, and there aie fears of another rise
IN the Passaic river. The rain is now falling
rapidly, and has been since 8 o'clock this
morning; large part OF the city is submerg-
90, ana tnere Is great discomfort and loss. The
body OF Martin Rossiter, who, with his horse
and wagon, was swept into the river above the
iails, Saturday, has not yet been found. The
Passaic river bridges are all standing in the
CITY limit, but nearly every one of the small
Dridges over little streams in the county have
gone, and the loss is yet beyond calculation.
1t will cost the county $25, 900 to repair the
damage by ahe overflow OF Oldham brook. It
wss the draw gates OF Beatty's dams at Little
Falls, and not the dam itself, which gave way
yesterday.
halfway, N. r., Sept. 25.--The Hood was pc
culiarly severe in this city and Union county.
There are 80 bridges crossing the Railway river
and its branches, within the city limits, and 16
have b en- destroyed to such an extent that it
is estimated it will cost over 800 900 to re-
build and repair them. At the Monroe street
stone bridge, Saturday evening, while a crowd
were on it, one of the arches gave way, and
John Wilson, prominent citizen. was carried
under the arch. His remains were taken out
this morning.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 25-The flood caused
great damage through this part of New Jersey,
inundating the lowlaads, destroying bridges,
extinguishing factory fires, and periling the
lives of cattle. Tracks of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad are covered, and fires ektnguished in
the factories along Railroad avenue Branch

walls OF the reservoir of the water works.
In Orange, the freshet swept the valley, fac
