A STRANGE PROCEEDING.

DETROIT. Mich, Nov. 30. "A few weeks
| ago we published the facts relative to the
marriage of James Jones, cofored and
Mary Walker, a young Irish Catholic of
this city, together with the record of their
conviction of lewd and lascivi9us cohabi-
tation, the intermarriage of the races be
ing forbidden in this state by statute. A
new and startling feature of the case was
developed yesterday, which adds indefi-
nitcly to its complications. After his con
viction in the recorders court, of lewd and
lascivious cohabitation, Jones was intro
duced to the Rev r. Charles Reilly, pas
tor of the St. Patrick's Catholic church, of
which the mother of Mrs Jones, nee Wal
ker, was member Father Reilly asked
Jones what his religious belief was and
Jones replied that he had none in particu-
lar. The father then labored with him so
successfully that in a short time he an
nounced himself willing to be taken into
the bosom of the church. This was in
due time accordingly done The girl was
reinstated, and they were remarked &C
cording TO the rites of the Roman Catholic
church and are now living together. The
ceremony took place at the PASTORAL resi-
dence last evening. The mother of the
girl caIle, next day and made fuss, but
cooled down considerably when Father
Reilly told her that the Catholic church
made no distinction between white or
black, and that even the children of such
marriage held honorable positions in the
church, citing the case of Bishop Healy, of
Portland, Me, and Rev. Father Sherwood
Healy, of Georgetown, d. G. The case in
the meantime is pending in the supreme
court, to which it was removed on a writ
of error, and a hearing is expected early in
January. A bill has been prepared repeal
ing the old law under which this prosecu-
ton was instituted and which prohibits the
intermarriage of the races.

that not to exceed $3, 500, 600 shall be ex@
pended for the construction of a new state
house, but the edifice is not completed, re-
quiring at least 1925 900 to finish it. AT
the recent election the question of an adj
ditional appropriation to that amount was
submitted to a vote of the people of the
state. ands the result is that 231, 721 votes
were ssiyen in the affirmative, and 1913, 679
in the negative-being a majority of 49,
042 in favor of the appropriation-that is,
a majority of all the votes actually cast
on that specific question, for and against.
The state constitution. in its provisions
for its own amendment, declares that,
after favorable action by the legislature
such proposed amendment shall be sub
mitted to the electors of this state for
adoption or rejection at the next election
of members of the general assembly, and
that ssif majority of the electors voting
at such election shall vote for the propos
ed amendment it shall become part of
the constitution. Now the question is,
does this clause mean majority of the
votes cast for members. of the general as
sen1bly, or only a majority of all the votes
cast for and against the proposed amend
ment2 Ii the latter, then the state house
appropriation has been adopted. If the
former. then it is defeated. The total
number of votes cast at the late election
was over Ats, 900, while the total num- Der
of votes cast on the state house appropri-
alton question was only $50, 400. 1t re
lIains to be authoritatively decided wheth-
er, in view of the ambiguous wording of
the amendment clause of the constitution,
the state house appropriation is carried or
not Lawyers differ as to whether that
clause means a majority of all the votes
cast at an election for members of the gen
eral assembly, or majority only of the
votes cast upon a specific amendment

A M0NsTRosITY.


On the 9th of the present month there
was a child born to Mrs. Minnie Thornton,
wife of Austin Thornton, a colored man.
The child was natural size, girl, but was
terribly deformed about the head. 1t lived
till yesterday morning, and then died A
reporter called at the house of Mrs Smith
this morning, and was shown the corpse.
To describe the deformities would be an
impossibility. The head was of usual
size, and sunk in at the top. The child
had nonose; its mouth was very large,
and full of ridges resembling teeth. There
was no palate to the mouth, but from the
roof, close to the lips, projection hung
down, the end of which was covered with
bone On the sides of the mouth were
two pieces of flesh that resembled the gills
of a fish, only turning the other way. The
mouth extended almost to the ears. and
the mouth was minus jaw bones 1t had
two sockets for eyes, but the eyes were not
there, the child having been born stone
blind 1t was one of the greatest defor-
mites that ever came under the reporters
observation The mother of the child is
very pleasant looking woman, and quite
young.

metals and minerals and that duty of
% per ton be placed on iron ore; slight
notifications in breadstuffs, provisions
and animals. The existing average rates
in sugar are generally Endorsed. but the
abolition of duplex rates is strongly urged.
Protection to silk culture and reeling is
also recommended; the abolition of duty

free list are added twenty-five articles
heretofore rated, among which are spirits
of turpentine, sponges, crude saltpetre,
resin, asphaltum and nitrate of lead. Ma
terial changes are recommended in internal
revenue taxes, involving the abolition of
Z tax on most articles now specified.
Referring to the revival of our merchant

there is no source of personal employment

prove the fallacy and absurdity of the i'm
pution that Americans cannot build ships.
and the foolish assertion that a tariff on
five per cent. of a ships cost on crude ma
terial could affect the conditions of our
shipping community.
A tariff tribunal, composed of a United |
= states commissioner of customs, arepre-
> sentative selected from merchants or man
ufacturers, and third arbitrator selected
by both, similar to provision of the tariff
of France, is earnestly recommended.
