4 Mistake.
WHEELING, October "A, 1886.

WHEELING, October "A, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR: In one of the editorials in your
issue of this date, you say that the Protest
ant Episcopal Church has adopted the Ro-
man Catholic doctrine as regards divorce.
This is a mistake. The reverend gentle
men of the p. L. Church, recently assem-
bled in council, agreed that they were will
ling to sanction divorce for '%'scriptural
cause" and that the injured party was free
to marry again. The Catholic Church, on
the contrary, insists that there is no
S%criptural cause that will Justify any man
or woman in marrying a second time in
the lifetime of the first wife or husband,
no matter what the prOyOcdtion may be. !
cannot imagine why the ''Scriptural rea-
SON. is So often mentioned i'll defense Of
divorce in the,tace of st. Mark y, verses II
and II, "WhOSOever shall put away his
wife and shall marry another, COmmitteth
adultery against her, and if woman shall
put away her husband, and be married to
another she cOmmitteth adultery"
In st. Luke XVI, verse i we read words
to the same effect. In ! Corinthians VII,
verses 10 and IL st. Paul WITHSTAND
unto the married | command, yet not |,
but the Lord. let not the wife depart from
her husband; but, and if she Depart let her
remain unmarried, or be recOnciled to her
husband, and let not the husband put
away his wife" The scriptures in this
case would seem TO sustain the Catholic
doctrine. Then araln. we read
that whom God has joined together let
not man put asunder." There is no ex-
ception mentioned here, nor in the other
portion ofscripture that | have quoted.
/ am aware that Matthew ", 32 lsrelied
on by the advocates of divorce, but that
verse clearly refers to a separation only,
because ifthe bond of marriage was really
broken both parties would of course be free
to marry again. 1t is not credible that
st. Matthew would sanction what is con-
demned by st. Luke, st. Mark and st.
Paul. LAYMAN.

Barrett To- Night,

Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, the eminent and
talented tragedian, will appear at the
Opera House this evening with Il fine com
pany in Hon. Geo. II. Boxers play, "Fran-
cesca da Rimini." A large house will I'M
doubtedly greet this great production, of
which the Philadelphia North american
says:
A very enjoyable aud successful per-
Torrance of Mr.. George II. Boxers tragedy
Francesca da RiDini," was given at
Haverly's Theatre last evening before a
large and enthusiastic audience. 1t is
pleasant to note that its revival was at
tended by a complete and triumphant sue
cess. Francesca da Rimini' is q piece
which has the rare merit of combining
literary excellence and dramatic effective
ness, and of being alike adapted for closest
study and for stage performance. While
il is admirably written, it is also most
effective in its construction and impressive
in its story. 1t had the advantage last
night ofan extremely good performance.
LanciOttO is a part upon which Mr.. Barrett
has evidently bestowed much careful
study, and he plays it with great force
and spirit. Nothing could have been bet
ter than the skill with which he indicated
the NATURAL nobility of the ~hunchbacE'S
character, while suggesting at the same
time the extent TO which it has been over
clOuded and soured by the influence of his
physical defOrmity.

ELKINS IN THEICITY.

The Great Campaign Manager stops In the
City, Yesterday.
Hon. S. B. Elkins, of Deer Park, was at
the Mcclure, yesterday, and left for his
mountain residence last night, where he
will remain as long as the good weather
lasts. Mr.. Elkins, it will be remembered,
is Hon. Jas. G. Blaine's close friend, and
was the manager of the Republican Presi-
dental campaign of 81.
He is Just from Pittsburgh. where he
left Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Elkins states
that it was that honorablc's purpose
to come to Wheeling, and go thence
to Grafton and Piedmont, at
which latter point he, with
other gentlemen interested in the West
Virginia Central Railroad, intended making
qu inspecting tour thereof. Mr.. Blaine's
original intention of coming this way and
if possible helping his particular friend,
Gen. GOtl, in return for past favOrs, was
prevented by the extraordinary efforts Of
the Republican managers of Pennsylvania,
who after hard work, prevailed upon him
r~elinquish his West Virginia trip and de-
liver several speeches in the Luzerne and
anthracite districts, where great help
is needed to allay the discomfort
among the undcrpaid miners and to keep
their votes in the Republican ranks.
Mr.. Elkins is a very atflb!e and pleasant
gentleman TO meet, slightly porty, weigh
ing, perhaps, POO pounds or more, with a
fOrid complexion, and is above medium
height. TO look at and talk to him, one
would never suspect that he was the bad,
wicked man so often depicted during the
last campaign by partisan newspapers.

BACK FROM RICHMOND.
DELEGATE JOHN SHUTTLEwORTH, OF BEL
LAIRE, TALKS OF HIS TRIP.
The Virginia Capital Away Behind the Procession OIL
Progress in Almost Every Particular.
Water Power Used.

A REGISTER reporter had quite an ex-
tended and interesting conversation yes
terday with Master Workman John Shut
t,eworth, of Fidelity Assembly, K.of L',of
Bellaire, regarding his late trip to Rlen-
mond. John tells glowing accounts ofthe
old Confederate city. He admires the hos
pitality of its citizens, but says the place
is q great many years behind the times IN
many things. Most of the industries along
the James river are run by water pow
er In these parts coal has succeeded the
old water system, and gas bids fair to take
the place of coal, but at Richmond THIS
new order of things causes not a
ripple. There is one thing that comments
water land it is a big one too. 1t Is the
cheapest motive Richmond has a
population of rs, 900. 1t has an excellent
water works, part of which is built OF gran
tie. The convention of the X. OF l.. was
held in Armory Hall, which has a seating
capacity of over 5000. Seven hundred
and fifty delegates were in attendance n
the proceedings were opened by an address
from Governor Lee. Mr.. Shuttleworth Is
not a erich liver" but he says he prefers
our local diet to that of Virginia. Inc
daily menu at Richmond consists OF
sweet potatoes, hOminy and pork
and beans. A person can grow fat from
these articles, but the perplexing question
with John is whether he would not desire
q change once in q while, rather than the
same old bill of fare all the time. How
ever, he does not look any the worse from
his trip, and appears to be in excellent
condition to see that the large order oil
which he is Master Workman is kept on a
growing basis. Fidelity Assembly has
found in Mr.. ShuttlewOrth a conservative
and thoughtful leader. He is opposed to
the boycott except in stringent and aggra-
waiting cases, a fact that adds to his popu-
larity with thinking members of
the K. of L., as well rs those
not connected with the order.

TERRIBLY MANGLED.
A YOUNG NAN INSTANTLY KILLED By A
C. &P. TRAIN.
The Victim Supposed 10 Have Been Under the lnHu-
sncs Of liquor at the Time Of the
Accident

At an early hour yesterday morning
Frank Shepard, a native of Browns Sta
ton, on the c. & P. railroad, four miles
north Of ~Steubenville, was struck by q
freight train and instantly killed. The
accident occurred near Alikanna, a short
distance from Steubenville. The victim
was terribly mangled, nearly every bone
in his body being broken.
From what could be learned last even
ing. it seems Shepard came down to Steu-
benyille Saturday evening with a party
of friends and the night was put in in a
somewhat hilarious manner, a good deal OF
beer and whisky being consumed. At an
early hour Shepard left the gang and
started to walk home along the railroad
track, and it is supposed the liquor he had
drank so dulled his brain as to render him
partially oblivious TO his surroundings
and made him an easy prey to the loco
motive.
The remains were taken to Brown Sta
ton yesterday, where they will be buried

This morning General Cot, the Idol,
will arrive in this city from the lower part
of the district, aud this evening he will
speak to the Republicans at the
Alhambra Rink, in the Eighth ward. The
party managers here have been hard at
work for a week past making arrangements
for this event, and, Judging by the time
and labor expended, there should be at
least six or seven thousand people at hand
to listen to explanations to be made by the
candidate. The lincoln Club will turn
out en- masse, as viii also the Ancient Or
der of Plumei Knights (minus their
plumes), and red fire and the
other accessories will be used with al un'
sparing hand to create the outward SEM
blance of Il cordial reception. The leaders
are relying upon the "whoop 'em up on
the quiet" canvass which has been going
on in this city during the past few days
to secure for the General a fair turn out,
and it is not improbable their dream may
he realized, as a great many Democrats
will 90 down out of curiosity to see how
certain perplexing matters will be handled
by the orator of the evening.

The Great Procession of Manufacturer
Marching Toward the Gas Region.

The Great Procession of Manufacturers
Marching Toward the Gas Region.
Gold Short" writing to the Age Of
Steel, has this to say about natural gas and
the inducements it holds out to manutac-
turers
1.-The East and West are acknowledging
fealty to the natural gas Of this region.
Compelled by their inability to compete
with upper Ohio valley manufacturers, by
reason of the great economies gained IN the
use of this natural fuel, they are n by
one submitting to the inevitable and are
preparing to move to the gas territory.
Disston. the saw manufacturer, of Phlla-
delphia; c. II. Robinson & Co. IS large but
terine factory, of Chicago, and the Hemin-
gray Glass Works, of COyingtoa, KY, lead
the van this fall, and the procession has
only started. 1t is becoming n settled
conviction that the great fuel supply is not
only here, but that it is, in prac-
ticable potency, restricted to TINS
region. 1t is claimed that Mr.. DiSston will
gain economies amountingto 5000, 900 by
this removal. 1t is also generally cOnced-
ed that the gas supply will be permanent,
at least none of the youngest OF existing
generations will see its failure. These
cities, within this territory, occupy 4 very
favored position and it behOOyes them to
take prudent advantage of it ut once-tO
make hay while the sun shines; without
vain glory, however, for let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall" There is 3 large territory included
in this gas belt-siXty miles long from
Wheeling to Pittsburgh and about the
same width, starting from Wheelingas the
western limit. There are some outlying
points, it is true, in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, but at Pittsburgh and Wheeling the
grand triumyirate of advantages center
natural gas, perfect water and rail tacili-
ties for transportation, and that untailing
substitute, should the gas supply weaken,
the most magnificent bituminous coal
measures in America, with seams 81 to 3
feet thick cropping out everywhere on the
TANKS of the hills and in the curves in the
valleys, coal that impaired to both Pitts
burg and Wheeling their super eminent
prestige as iron, steel, glass and pottery
producing centers-as grand a heritage as
natural gas. The fitting of residences,
factories and public buildings with natur-
al gas equipments has created quite a
scramble in Wheeling with the accOmpani-
ments of i~raciability on the part of the
victims and a feast for the plumbers. The
advent of natural gas, it is said, increased
the guild of gas filters in Pittsburg from
the original number of 300 TO over 1000.
The increase in Wheeling is about sixty
and thara IL NOT nearly PnOuOh HOuSp-
keepers claim that the advantages gained
by its use are indescribable, hut the
browning glory is its cleanliness. The
heat is dryer and more p~ervading, prOduc-
ing, unless artificial moisture is supplied,

son, who is sent by Mr.. Moody TO our city
for that purpose. The large chorus choir
will be at the Rink tonight. All per-
sons who have been requested to sing in
the choir are requested TO be at the build
