THE MORMON REVELATION As TO
PLURAL WIVES.
I here asked President Smith II he
could give me statement OF the exact
belief OF the MormonS as to n man hav-
Ing more than one wife. In reply he
gave me one OF the Church books con-
talning the revelations alleged to have
been given by God TO Joseph Smith.
From this see that the revelation was
given to Joseph Smith July ~. iss3.' II
II to be found In section i32. which Il
too long to quote In full here. In brief.
however. the book states that Joseph
Smith having asked the Lord how he
justified the fact that Abraham. Isaac
solomon had many wives and ooncu-
blrca. the Lord replied
Behold and 10. am the Lord thy
God, and VIII answer thee as touching
this matter.
For behold. reveal to you new
and everlasting covenant: and II yc
abide not In that covenant then are yc
damned. fof no one can reject the cove.
nant and be permitted TO enter into my
glory"
In the next few verses the Lord goes
on to relate that marriages properly
made In the Dnurch are for eternity ana
that no marriage not In the church In
valid. lie proceeds to state that the
end OF marriage Is TO increase the race
of the faithful. and that therefore Abra.
ham. David. and Moses were permitted
TO have many wives and concublncs.
and imposes the duty of taking plural
wives unon the Mormons. lie warns
Emma Smith. the Prophets wife. that
she will be destroyed " she does not

promises that n she does his servant

her. and that lie will bless him lJoscphD
and multiply him and give unto him an
hundred fold In this world OF fathers
and mothers. brothers and sisters.
houses and lands. wives and children
and crowns OF eternal life In the eternal

Further on In the revelation II Il
stated that a man may marry ten vlr-
gins II II be properly done under the
Church without doing wrong. and II
urges upon both men and women the
duty OF such marriages.

Witliamsport, Pa. Nov. 25.-Further

father Of the victims. Hummel was ar

made a denial when taken into Gus.
tody.
The coroner's Jury rendered a ver-
dict that the four victims were slain
with pole ak in the hands Of Will
lam Hummel. and that the crime was
murder in the first degree. Coroner
Goehrig and Detective Munson made
thorough inquiry. The wagon Of
Hummel was found. and in It were
blood stains, showing the victims had
been hauled away In that vehicle.
The mystery of the baby was also
cleared up by the discovery of some
charred bones In an ash heap in the
rear Of the house. The body had been
cremated by the murderer. A large
fire had been noticed In his yard, and
he stated that he was burning brush.
1t Is said he intended to cremate all
the bodies. but the difficulty becom-
ing apparent he later decided to bury
the bodies Of his wife and her two
children under the haystack.
Hummel was taken before Squire
Barde at Montgomery for hearing,
and held without bail. When the Of
ficers started for the railroad station
to convey him to this city there were
threats Of lynching, but he was whisk-
ed away SO rapidly as to thwart the
threatened demonstration. He Is now
In the jail here, and is closely watched.

when he was informed of the theIts
he decided to catch the prowler.
Yesterday morning about T.30
o'clock he saw colorcd man walk
in among the kettles. Klingmeyer
lost no time in appearing on the
scene and the colored man informed
him that he was hunting for a
bundle. Klingmeyer told him to
get away from the place and the
colored man expressed a hope that
the Waterman did not suspect him
Of stealing anything. Three hours
later the colored man returned
and took Il kettle off a peg. As he
went behind the engine house the
Waterman notified the engineer.
They went for the fellow but he ran
back with the kettle and replaced ii
