CATHoLIC AND HEBREW.

A Hungarian Catholic Counters Obtains
Permission to Wed a Hebrew Baron.
VIENNA, March S.-An interesting de-
cision has just been made by the Pope,
which will undoubtedly cause great
sensation in the Catholic world. Baron
SanbOr Pepper POdraghy, a prominent
lumber merchant, Hungarian, who was
made baron four years ago, IS betrOthed
to Countess Blanche CastrOne, daughter
of a former singer who belonged to
the old nobility. The baron is a re-
ligiOus Hebrew and the lady a piOus Cath
ole. Both prayed for a dispensatiOn from
the Curia. For more than 200 years such
a dispensatiOn has not been given, there
fore the great sensation. The Curia de-
cided 20 allow the marriage of Baron
POdraghy and the Countess of CastrOne if
sOlemniZed in a Catholic Church by a
Catholic clergyman. Baron POdraghy
signed declaration (Which was deposit
ed with the Cardinal at Prague) binding
himself to educate the children of this
marriage in the Catholic faith.
The Pope. in a remarkable brief founded
on the canon law, stated that marriages
between Catholics, heather or Hebrews
were permissible, for the reason that
thereby there was the possibility of saw
ing a soul by conversion TO the Catholic
faith.
The marriage will soon take place in
Vienna, in st. Augustine's Church. The
Curial decision has also a political sig
nificance. Twice has the Hungarian
Oberhaus rejected Prime Minister Tisza's
mixed marriage bill. The Countess lives
in Paris. Her uncle is Cardinal Panebi-
ancO.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-In the Senate
to-day the backbone resolution offered by
Senator Van Wyck was laid before the
Senate as unfinished business.
Mr.. Van Wyck said that the Senator
from Colorado (Teller) had gone to New
York, to be absent day or two, and
asked that action upon the resolution be
deferred until next Friday.
Mr.. Van Wyck offered the following
resolution, and asked that it lie upon the
table for the present:
ResOlced, That the Secretary of the Interior
and the Attorney General of the United States
be and they are hereby directed respectively
TO take such action as each may deem neces-
sary to prevent any sale by the Atlantic and
Cuff West India Transit Company, or by anv
company or person claiming under them. of
the lanes described in an act approved May
IA, 1906, and entitled "an act granting public
lands in alternate sections to the States of
Florida and Alabama TO aid in the cOnstruc-
tion of certain railroads IN said States" so
far as the same lie within the line of said
railroads between Waldo and Tampa Bay,
Fla, until Congress sha have authorized the
same.
Mr.. Frye offered a resolution instructing
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds to inquire into the expediency of
lighting the Senate Chamber by the electric
process. The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Allison, at l2:l5 O'Clock, moved that the
Senate adjourn. Mr. Morrill, said that he had
heard very indirectly that there would be a
communication from the Executive.
MIR. Allison was glad that the Senator from
Vermont was able to speak for the Executive,
and withdrew his motion. After a lapse Of
70 minutes Mr.. Pruden appeared and deliv-
cred "sundry messages in writing"
Upon motion of Mr.. Morrill, the Senate, at
1880 O'Clock went into executive session.
Five minutes later it adjourned.

GUARDING THE DOMAIN.
Secretary Lamar Takes Time to LOol
into the Backbone Grant.

Secretary Lamar Takes Time to Look
into the Backbone Grant.
WASHINGTON, March lin accord
ance with Secretary Tellers' order, dated
March 8, the Commissioner of the General
Land Office issued three patents to the
New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company,
for 679,2S7 acres OF land (known as the
backbone grant), and they were delivered
to William E. Barnum, by direction of
John F. Dillon, attorney for the railroad
company. Although Secretary Teller is
sued the patents for only 679, ,2S7 acres of
land, the company, under it's grant,
claimed 1000, 900 acres. Yesterday Sec
retary Lamar issued the following order
to the Commissioner of the Land Office:
MARCH 10, 1885.
You are hereby directed to suspend all pro-
ceedings relative to the patenting of lands to
the New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company
until further notice. l.. q. T.. LAMAR.
In addition to the lands already pa
tented the New Orleans Pacific Railroad
Company has lists covering 336, 706 acres
of land which, under this last order, can
not be patented until the Secretary takes
further action. Secretary Lamar says
that his reason for suspending action in
the matter was only to obtain an oppor-
tunity to examine fully into the merits of
the company's claims. The patents were
issued on the same day as the order of
Secretary Teller, and in making them up
all the lands to which there was an ad-
verse claim were included, although it is
stated at the department that in many
cases the right OF the railroad company to
the tracts under the grant can hardly be
questioned.

A Newly Married Couple WaylaId and
Killed-A Rejected SuitOr Missing.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, March 9.-News
Of frightful tragedy has just been re-
ceived from Wise county, Virginia. In
the neighbOrhOOd of Bonds mills the Hem
tons, MitchelIs, and Reynoldses were the
leading families, and Martha Reynolds
was the belle OF the whole region. She had
many suitOrs, the most favored of whom
were Chas. HentOn and ''Bud" Mitchell.
Not certain which she loved the most,
she engaged herself to both. Henton
became aware OF the fact, and persuaded
the girl to elOpe with him. They left the
neighbOrhOOd, were quietly married, and
returned 70 the home of the brides
parents on Saturday, Feb. IS. That night
the wedding was celebrated with dance
Bud Mitchell was present, and, under
the influence of liquor, became noisy and
insulting. He berated the bride for her
hckleness, and finally slapped her. Her
husband, hearing of it. ran across the
room and gave Mitchell a beating, and
was only prevented from killing him by
his friends. Mitchell left yOwing ven
geance.
On Sunday night Henton and his wife at
tended prayer meeting at a rural church.
going home by short cut. Mitchell was
not seen by anyone. As Henton and his
VIE failed to put in an appearance,
search was made on Monday, and their
bodies, disfgured almost beyond recOgni-
tiOu, were discovered in a lonely spot in
the path they were following. The wo-
mans head was nearly severed from her
body. HentOn had been shot in the
breast, and afterward the assassin had
pounded his head to a jelly with stone.

MISSING CHILDREN,
The police department are on the look
out for two children, Harriet and Joseph
Waldrup, who mysteriOusly disappeared
from their home, near the water works,
yesterday afternoon. The department
was notified last night, but nothing has
been heard of them. The girl is IA years
and the boy 10 years of age. Both were
poorly dressed and baretooted when they
left home. No reason is assigned for their
sudden departure, as their home was a
pleasant one as far as known. They are
the children Of poor parents, but were
well treated.
The Fulton cotton spinning mills are

James Steel, four white men confined in
Fulton county Jail serving sentences i'm
posed for violation of the internal reve-

the fence inclosing the prison. They had
been given the liberty OF the yard, and
were enjoying this privilege when they
escaped. The men had served about half
Of their time. Nothing has been hearC, OF
them since their departure. The affair
was kept quiet until to-day, when it
leaked out through the medium of the
prisoners in attendance at the Uni led
States Court.
