A NOVEL CEREMONY.
A Jewish Divorce as Performed in the
Jail at Jeifersonville, Ind.

UhlA hl OeHSESonNAlAes AhUs
JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Aug. 6. A
novel ceremony--a Jewish divorce
took place in the county jill here, and
the performance, which was never
before witnessed in this city, attracted
large crowd of spectators. Abram
Cohen was released from the prison
about two weeks ago, after serving a
term for horse stealing, and was i'm
mediately arrested by Sheriff Donovan
and placed in Jail ON similar charge.
Mary Cohen, his wife. had filed applica-
tion in Louisville for divorce. As the
proceedings of the law did not annul
the marriage contract according to the
Hebrew doctrines and religion, it was
necessary to perform the divorce accord
ing to the orthodox method.
The proceedings, which were per-
formed by Rabbis j. Finglestein, of Gin
cinnati, and Mr.. Isenberg, of Louisville,
We're novel and curious. Cohen and his
wife walked into the Office of the jailer
together. In his right hand Rabbi
Finglestein held document written in
Hebrew characters, a Hebrew Bible,
from which he read alternate passages
to Cohen, who repeated them after him.
The document which was supposed to
be the divorce, was doubled up, and the
rabbi turned to the woman, and after
going through ceremony, to which the
wife listened weeping and with her
hands raised before her, he threw the
paper into her hands, which she clasped
upon it. The article was then handed
back to the rabbi, who took it, and with
sharp knife severed it in swain, at the
same time handing one piece TO the man
and one to the woman. The ceremony
can only be performed by certain rab-
bis, of whom there are only six in

Powers says the colored alliance has
81, 900 members in South Carolina. The
chief purpose of the order is mutual

gained as well by entering politics us by
establishing store-houses. The alliance,
he remarked, intended to do whatever
was to its advantage, and if they could
make anything by going into politics
they would be justified in doing 50.
TIE colored alliances of the state will
have great gathering at Aiken Tues

5000 alliance men and their families
will attend. After the meeting repre-
sentatives from all the county alliances
will hold secret convention to discuss

SAULT STE, MARIE, Mich, Aug. c.
The lock valve of the Ste. Marie canal,
which became disabled at o'clock
Thurs day afternoon, has been repaired,
and lCckages were resumed ut 8 o'clock
Monday morning, being a delay of
eighty mine hours to the lake commerce
No cause can De given for the valve
breaking. except that the wrist which
held in its bearing was not of sufficient
strength to support the immense weight
of the valve, and the principal cause of
delay to the repairs was the pumps Civ
ing out. There have been $50 vessels
tied up here, representing about $l0,-
900 900, carrying about 5000 tons Of
cargo. Direct loss to vessel men will
be about 100000, while the general
public loss will raise this TO about $780,
00G.
There have been sixty up-bound and
ninety down-bound craft lying here idle
since Thursday evening. The Canadian
Pacific steamer Alberta was the first to
lock through, exactly at . O'Clock Mon
day morning. Superintendent Lynch
has managed affairs in most creditable
manner, being ON the work steadily
since the break occurred, with the ex-
ception of ten hours rest. Lake COM
merce cannot recover from this delay
inside of two months.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.--Georgc Harris, the
postal clerk who is missing, with the
contents of two mail pouches taken
from the Chicago end Alton train near

was considerable surprise expressed
The amount taken, Superintendent
White, of the mail service, says, may
not be more than 5000, and yet it might
be as many thousands. There were
many packages in the pouches, but they
may have contained drafts or checks
and these could be of no use to Harris,

the people and seating the non-elccted by
your votes.
What you can do is this: You can aid
the people of the south to build up that
country. You can help us dig our mines,
bridge our rivers, tunnel our mountains,
endow our schools, make our colleges
