DYVORCE REFORM.
A NESTING in This Interest Held by the
Episcopal People

a Meeting in This Interest Held by the
Episcopal People.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa Oct ia meeting in
the interest of divorce reform was held this
evening, at Holy Trinity Protestant Episco-
pal Church. Ri. Rev. BENZ. Henry Paddock,
D. D., Bishop of Massachusetts presided. He
explained the object of the meeting and
referred to the fact that there are States
which show that the plague of divorce lays
hold of one out of every ten families. We
are RAPIDLY approaching a state of de-
moralization, and the evil of di-
vorce is increasing rapidly Rev.
Samuel W. Dixie, corresponding secretary
of the Divorce Reform League of New Eng
land, gave the ratio of divorces in the differ
ert States. He thought one of the causes of
the increase is carelessness in court proceed
ings and in the courts themselves in their
method of procedure. Another fruitful
cause of divorce is a lack of uniformity in
the laws of different States. Reducing the
number of causes for which divorces may be
granted would reduce the number of divorces
one-half. Bishop Paddock stated
that an effort had been made
to influence legislation in Mas
sachusetts, and that intelligent Roman
Catholics would be found to support all such
efforts. Bishop Gillespie, of Western Michi-
gan, said they had no hope from the Leglsla-
ture in his State. Rev. Mr.. Dixie stated
that very important work is being done
by the league to hiring the States into
harmony. Public opinion, first from the
pulpit and then through the press, is what
will influence the average legislature more
than anything else. An effort is being made
to procure an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States on the subject.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
SHEIBYv lille, Oct 11.-Considerable sur
prise was manifested by our people, this
morning on learning that Edward Kennedy,
the young man who is charged with KILLING
Albert McCorkle, sheriff OF Shelby county,
had returned at clock this morning as
mysteriously as he had gone away, and
surrendered himself into the hands of Sheriff
Conger He is now confined in jail. On
Saturday, the 9th day of October, 1880,
Sheriff MeCorkle was shot in the
midst of mob, dying from
the fatal bnllet on Sabbath morning.
Great excitement prevailed at the time, but
this finally gave way to calmer Judgment,
and nothing rash occurred. Kennedy de-
parted from the county, and no trace was
found as 10 his whereabouts until he re-
turned this morning. As to the facts
which led to the killing of the sheriff, the
circumstances under which 1T occurred, and
as to who the culpable party really
was, a full account was published
at the time. Kennedy was gone
just three years and one day, and
now presents the same youthful appearance
being light moustache which he now wears
Reporters were not allowed to converse with
him in bis cell, and all facts as to his wander
ings in the past three years are unknown,
so that any pretended published interview
with him is false. Soon after his departure
the grand jury found an indictment against
him for the alleged shooting, and he now

its many changes and the excitement which
prevailed at the time, has vanished, giving
way to calmer judgment and desire to give
justice to all. The trial will probably take
place at this term of court.
Substance of McDoneI,s Alleged Confession

The late Sam uel McDonel, in his written

attorneys says that he and Laurent were
rivals for the affections of the same woman.
They metin saloon, drank and became in
toxicated. They then went home together
to Laurents cabin. There quarrel ensued
Laurent, SO says the written statement of
the executed man, struck first at his mar
Gerer with a hatchet, and which cut his over
coat. Then McDonel killed him, and
steafthily left the house. Three days later
McDonel returned and robbed the then
putrefying body of the gold which was upon
| it. McDonel did this when. according to his
confession, he had money to the extent of
$500, buried in Arcola. If he sincerely re-
pented of his crime, his statement that he
robbed his best friends in Arcola including
Victor Cavalier, the greatest benefactor he
had, and with whose daughter there were
tender relations, is true. Also, his admits
sions that he was guilty of other murders.

MR. EDIToR:-As many fyour readers
have manifested desire for me to tell
now the Prohibition Laws Of Kansas ae
working, take the present opportunity
OF penning few words on the subject.
As to prohibition, we cannot at present
say definitely what will be the final result
OF the experiment, yet we have no doubt
but that it will ultimately work itself out
to the satisfaction of its friends. We now
live under the rule of a Democratic gov
enor, the whiskey ring and the discon-
tented Republicans having elected him.
If a strong Republican candinate had run
he would have been elected, but Gov. st.
John had too many enemies, besides
many opposed the third term policy.
No liquor has been sold publicly in lola
since the law was passed, but the law, as
passed under the constitutional amend
ment, is such bungling affair that it has
but few friends, and, in all probability,
will sooner or latter be pronounced un-
constitutional Under the present law
any Lllul tStH SCt LIS WHISKY II uC NC
willing to fee his physician literally, and
! am sorry TO say that there are but few
of our physicians who viii not write out
the desired prescription for any one who
is willing to pay for it, and the old topers
gladly do that.
In the larger cities, and also in many of
the smaller ones, understand that liquor
is sold openly to anyone who desires it.
There will doubtless be hard fight
over this matter in the future. The Dem
oerats want to have the people vote the
question over again; in that case we can
not say what will be the result, but we
believe the people are all right.
Sincerely Yours,
j. RosESBERGER.
