recent cablegram from London says, with
reference to the Parnell-O shea marriage:
ut is announced that Q second religious

This statement was called to the attention Of
Rev. Father Walter Of St. Pstrick's Church this
afternoon by a STAR reporter. Nonsense"
said he. Perfect rubbish. The first marriage
OF Mrs. O'Shea was a valid one. and no power
on earth, not even the pope. can

while her frst husband is alive. The
church regards her as still the legal
wife Of Mr.. 0'Shea- Marriage il q

must comply with certain restrictions. If they
do not the contract does not hold. The church
does not recognize the second marriage of q
divorced person. and even the pope cannot
grant dispensation here"
Mr.. W. II. Lepley, who 10 . recognized au-
thority in Catholic matters, agreed fully with
Father Walter. "Psrnell." he said, rs not a

MONTGOMERY COUNTY FARMERS.
The Attorney Does Not Propose to Reply to
Their Hypothetical Questions.

Inc" hypotnehc6l Uusetfons
During the early part of May Mr. Guion Mil
Ter called the attention Of the Commissioners 10
the fact that for years past the farmers Of
Montgomery county and the adjoining coun-
ties of Maryland and Virginia have been subject
to great annoyance in disposing of their
marketing in Washington by reason OF the inter-
probation put upon certain license laws of the
Legislative assembly of the District and certain
ordinances of the corporation of Washington
by the police authorities and the authorities Of
the different markets. 1t will be remembered
that at the last annual meeting OF the farmers
convention Of Montgomery county commit
tee was appointed to investigate the veXed ques-
ton Of the Washington markets and to take
all necessary steps to test the law If deemed
expedient.
for the Commissioners to decide:
Does the act of the late legislative assembly
requiring produce dealers to secure q license
apply to the following case:
"A resident of Montgomery county, Md.
coming to Washington with his own marketing
finds that he has not enough to make a full
load and buys from his nelghbors, also resi-
dents Of Maryland, butter, eggs, vegetables,
sausage meat &c, sufficient to complete his load
and sells the same from door to door in the Dis
trict.
II
meat, such as sparerib and sausage, would he
have to secure produce dealer 8 license!
If the act above referred to was intended
to cover such cases as the two above, would it
not be void SO far they are concerned. be-
cause of being q regulation ofinterstate COM
merce and thus repugnant TO section ., article
/ of the United States Constitution?
us there any place liz Washington where a
farmer can stand with his wagon and retail his
marketing and solicit trade without being sub
ject to action for trespass or obstructing the
streets?
40 which. if any. of the existing markets
does the act OF the corporation of Washington
OF May "a, 1857. as modified by the act of No
vember 29. 1859. now apply"
The above questions were submitted to the
attorney for his views and today he rendered the
following opinion:
''The questions herein propounded are not
such as this office lis called upon legitimately 10
answer. They are to great extent hypothet-
ical and come properly within the judgment
Of the court upon actual cases there presented.
If the duty Of considering and replying to a
series Of questions such AS are embraced in
this paper of Mr.. Miller was imposed
upon this office it wonid be impossible
to execute the duties which properly belong 10
it. The farmers of Montgomery county stand
on the same basis other citizens and it is
not to be supposed that a code is TO be pre-
pared by the attorney of the District OF CO.

Convicted in the Criminal Court, but Their
Counsel Appealed.
In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, this
morning the motion for . new trial in the case
Of Mary Elem, alias Ellen, and Charles Grimes,
convicted of conspiracy In collecting the PEN
sion Of Fanny Grimes after she had de-
ceased, was overruled after argument by
Messrs. f. C. Darlington and T. c. Taylor. The
court sentenced them to two years each. The
case OF Mary Elan and VIM. Grimes was called
and the sentence was suspended as to Mary
Elan and Vim. Grimes was sentenced to
two years. In the third case sentence was
suspended as to Mary and sentence Of
two years each was imposed on Moses
Tibbs and Priscilla Ware. The court in pass
ing sentence said that this claim had been
regularly presented for several years and ell
100 to $1,000 wrongfully obtained from the
government, and that they knew it was appar-
ent from the fact that Mary Elan kept it from
her husband.
The counsel appealed to the General Term ON

To the Editor OF The Evening Star;
Several articles have recently appeared in
the columns Of The STAR relating to bicycle
riding, setting forth the grievances Of the
cycler, as well as those of the public. Much
truth has been told On both sides. The cyclers
rave at the road hog" yet in their way pro-
coed to make hogs of themselves by riding
along crowded thOroughfares at high rate Of
speed, changing their bells for every 6ne to get
out OF their way, just as il they we're confined
to O track like cable car or could only propel
the machine in direct line. Pedestrians are
Obliged to cross the streets and ought to be al
lowed to make the passage without being con-
tinually startled by the bell of some rider,
have been bicycle rider in this and other
cities OF the north south and west for MANY
years, and ridden everything. from the old
"bone shaker" to a 60-inch upright" and
though forced by law to carry bell have ne yer
seen tho time when thought it was necessary
to use it. Every old rider knows that pedes-
TRANS, when startled by the ringing of a bell
are just as apt to get in the way as out Of IT,
and venture the assertion that few If any, Of
the old riders in this city ever use one at all
Ny observation has been that the Sreener the
rider the more he changed his bell. A good
rider, who has control of his machine. goes
quietly around pedestrian and does not at
tempt to startle him by swapping bell at him.
Novlces-and fear some who could hardly be
considered SUCH wil take bee line through
the most crowded streets, demanding that
every one shall yield the right of way to them,
Is there no protection for the walking public
against this species Of ''road hog?"

The Funeral Of David Edelin, Postponed and
an Investigation tn Re Made.

an Investigation tn he Made.
The funeral of David Edelin, or Igland, the
colored boy whose body was found in the James
creek canal Thursday afternoon. was TO have
taken place this morning, and Undertaken
Barnes had made arrangements for the funeral
accordingly, but owing to statements being
made concerning the manner of the boy S deaths
postponement of the funeral was found neces-
sary and instead Of the remains being taken to
Graceland cemetery they were removed to the
morgue, where Deputy Coroner schaeffer made
post-mortem examination.
From information received the police had
reason to believe that the boy had been muir
dered and thrown in the canal, but it is under
stood that the autopsy proved that death re-
suited from drowning.
Coroner Patterson will investigate the case
this afternoon, although the impression is that
the boys death cannot be shown to have re-
suited from violence.
