.osoment made in a New York tele-
an 10 the effect that a daughter of
93oaonin Miller was married here to the
sra.trical manager, ]. L. Mccormick,
- interview is published here this after
aaon with Rev. R. ]. Ccghlan. The
lovs-end gentleman said that on
t5s 9TH instant Miss Miller, accompan =
~. "a Nv Mr.. Mccormick, came to his
i bonse and asked to be married in ac-
nordance with the rites of the Catholic
o Ouch she volunteered the state
T mant that she had previously gone
lS TO the form of marriage
-;tS man named MacKay, but she
- never been really married to him
I'd asa consequence, had never lived
ritb him nor did he seem to be anxious
y, i've With her as her husband. Miss
Miller who was a total stranger to
father Coghlan, had previously OBJ
aimed q license to marry, which he ex-
United to a reporter and which is in the
rsTaI form as follows: 1.-The people of

Miss Maud Marie Miller, of New York,
q .be State of New Y ork, at the age Of
q years." ~. =,
The marriage license was signed by
Nm. W. Ryan, clerk of the county
corrt
''9 II do not desire" said Father
COghlan, ito add anythingto the report
Of the matter which appeared in the
yewYork Sun, that report is substan-
uaIly correct, but l deny having said
thatMiss Miller and MIR. Mackav were
n5I legally married, or that the
marriage was void in law, as a license
rom the State attends to the legal part
of the matter. 1 never reflected
xhether a divorce was or was not
obtained. If I had reflected before
sle ceremony that a divorce has not
Deen obtained. | would have declined
- perform it. NY view of the first
marriage comedies with that expressed
av Manager Preston, which, according
- ne Sun, is as follows Manager Pres
ton did not tell Miss Miller that the

27iest had been deceived about the
JriiegEOOm's baptism, but he told her
hat the church did not recognize or
5.ess such 4 marriage" both Miss
FILLER and her companion appeared to
De II state of absolute poverty con-
tlled Father Co5hlan, and Miss

,1s married would lead to a greater
economy and urged to have the cere-
1)ny performed Immediately, as they
expected to leave for Detroit that even
ls They were actually stranded and
ma! trunks and goods they had re-
Lainmg were detained at their hotel.
Their appearance certainly seemed to
ltI ont their statement, as they were
1ost poorly and lightly clad tor the

Would the fact of ais not having
zen baptized make any material diff
renee in the eyes of the church ?p
Certainly. Dispensation is neces-
i.y II such a case before the marriage
4iemony can be performed. saw no
1ttea opinion from DR.. Houghton, :"
@ntinued Father Coghlan, but state
lslt was made to me by. Miss Miller
% the effect that DR.. Houghton had
a..ae1 that Mackay was ever baptized,
le had been baptized in any church
'Ae ceremony OF marriage would be
'i,ia IN the eyes of the Catholic Church.
