MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
The EpIscopalians Amend the Canon
on the Subject.

NEW YORK, October 23.-The first bust
ness at the morning session of the Episcopal
ian Convention was the report Of the com
mittee on Canons in relation to the organiza-
tion of missionary jurisdictions into dioces-
es, deciding that consideration of the subject
was impracticables this late stage Of the
proceedings. The colored question was re-
opened by the committee on conference ap-
pointed by the House of Bishops, who rec
commended that the Deputies accede to the
desire of the Upper House and pass the res
olution defining the attitude Of the Episco-
pate toward the negro race. The Deputies
declined to reconsider their action.
The House proceeded to discuss the ques-
tion of Liturgical Revision. A motion was
made by DR.. Hart that the House reconsider
Bishops in adopting the additional offertory
sentences: Therein o Lord is Thy Great
ness" "Melchizidek, King Of Salem, brought
forth bread and wine and ne was priest Of
the Most High God and Abram gave him."
etc.
Z vote was taken and the House refused
to concur.
At the afternoon session the House of
Deputies sat with closed doors to consider
the canon on marriage and divorce. 1t was
taken up section by section. The first Sec
tlOu do dIutuutu anu duOplcQ
any persons be joined together otherwise
than as Gods word doth allow, their mar
rrage is not lawful. and such marriage is
hereby prohibited"
The next section read Marriage is prohib
tied by the word of God, and by this church,
within the degrees of consanguinity and af
finity specified in Leviticns. xviii 6-1S." After
much discussion, involving the propriety Of
marrying a deceased wife's sister, this Sec
tion was stricken out bodily.
Section 3, read: "It shall be the duty Of
ministers to admonish the people from time
to time that the Church forbids clandestine
marriage and its public solemnizatlon ought
not to be dispensed with, except for good
cause. and under special circumstances" !"
A motion to strike out the whole section was
adopted.
A recess until o'clock was taken.
AT the evening session the subject of mar
riage and divorce was referred to the next
general convention. The House of Bishops
today completed the work of liturgical revis-
ing and adopted the canon relating to the
creation of an order of deaconesses. The
Bishops with the concurrence of the house
of Deputies, elected Rev. Edward Abbott,
rector of St. James church, Cambridge,
Mass, bishop of the jurisdiction of Japan,
vice the late Bishop Williams and Rev. An
son r. Graves of Minneapolis, Mimi, mis-
sionary bisop of the new diocese OF the

CHARLES KEENAN'S CASE.
His Pardon Urged Before the Cover
nor and His Council.

AUGUSTA. October 28.-The pardon case OF
Charles II. Keenan,, the Portland murderer,
was given a hearing by the Governor and
Council today. hon. William Fl. Looney
appeared in the conyict's interest. He ar
gued that Keenan's crime was simply man.
slaughter, and having served % years in
State prison, while the maximum penalty
for manslaughter was but ten years, the
man ought to be pardoned.
Then Keenan's excellent war record was
reviewed, and Mr.. John Reed, lately pay :
master in the United States navy, was quot
ed as to how he and keenan, suffered in a
Texas prison. Out of 1T Union men cap
tured, only 30 came out alive. Keenan's ex-
emplary conduct as a prisoner was referred
from ex-Wardens Rice, Bean and Allen, and
ex-Prison Inspectors Bean and Porter Ex.
Councillors Rand and Hunt were present,
personally pressing Keenan's claims for
clemency.
The keenan, case was laid on the table af-
ter the ht airing. keenan, will probably be
pardoned.
The Governor and Council gave hearing
to petitioners from Richmond, for the ap-
pointment of Llewellyn G. Lewis Of that
town as special constable to enforce the
liquor law. No one appeared in their inter
Oot' OOuuly AttuluCy DdlhCl VI biCH-
mond opposed the appointment on several
grounds. He said that an omission to state
that the petitioners were not taxpayers, and
the fact that the petition called for the ap-
pointment of only one constable, while the
statutes say the governor shall appoint two
or more. were fatal defects in the petition
there was not a general call for the appoint
ment, but the petition was due to the efforts
of one man. Mr.. Barker said Lewis is a
town constable, clothed with all the powers
that the Governor and Council can give
them. There was no call for a special con-
stable, as the laws are now we'll enforced.
State Pension Agent Purington emphati-
cally endorsed all Mr.. Barker said, and the
Council gave the petitioners. leave to with.
draw.
The appointments of special liquor con-
stables for Androscoggln county were con-
firmed.
The next meeting of the Council will be on
