Marriage by Telegraph AnnuIIed.

The divorce suit of Sarah Orion WEIGH
against Thomas WEIGH CAME up before
Judge Taylor yesterday, This is the
case which has had such a wide notoriety
by newspaper publications. The woman
claims that while a resident of Pittsburg
in June, 1888. she answered a personal
advertisement in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
as a result of which a correspondence
sprang up between her and WEIGH, and
they were married, the ceremony beirg
performed by telegraph. When she
came here to meet him she found that he
was q colored man. In court the fact
that he was of a negro descent was estab-
lisheo, although he insisted that his
father was q Spaniard and his mother a
Frenchwoman. The marriage was de-
clared void by the court. WEIGH is q

RandalTs Friends Want Him &c Enter

Washington Special.
Some of Mr.. Randalrs friends are
earnest that he should 60 into the cabinet
and state that he can bs made secretary
of the interior if he desire. They said;
lie has nothing but embarrassment be-
fore him in the house, and moreover,
has the prospect of being thrown over
the mex time he goes before his district
for election. The republicans are over
whelmingly in control of the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature and will probably recon-
struct his district 80 as to throw him out.
Should he retain his hold on the district
his position will not be pleasant. The
tariff reformers will be in control, and
after the immense majority Pennsyl-
vania gave Blaine Randall's wishes as re-
CARDS the tariff will not be much res
peoted. The new term he now has b,-
fore him will, at all events, they say, be
less agreeable than a position in the
cabinet The tariff question will GER
iainly be taken up when the new con-
gress comes in and the desire to get rid
of Randall's presence during such dis
cussions, it is thought will lead to his
being offered a place in the cabinet,
where his tariff views would do no harm.
