OPPOSITION to the Stout MARI

OPPOSITION to the Stout marriage
bill is developing in different parts of
the state. Many members are re-
ceiying letters protesting against the
passage of the bill in its present form.
Most of the letters are coming from
physicians, who raise the point that
an examining board could not deter
mine the fitness of parties to marry
nearly so well as the physicians of the
parties could. They suggest thatit
would be better to require certificate
from reputable physician than to
compel an examination by a board.
They also object to the clause which
declares that no two of the members
shall belong to the same school. They
maintain that it is not fair to the regu
lars because the regulars greatly out
number the others. Another objection
raised to the bill is that it would no
prevent parties unfit to marry from
going to Chicago and returning mar
ried. It is suggested that if the bill
is to become a law there should b,
some provision to prevent evasions il
that Misunderstanding Wisconsin.

mate Capitalization in this city OF

be to make instantly available the CO.

Taken in connection with the plan
| to sell out the trust company of New

| Company of New York (under the
| same management as the North Amer
lean Trust Company of New Jersey)
| the undertaking involved the practical
| consolidation of dozen different COM
/ panies, with an estimated total capt.
| talization of something like S50,000,-

I'm the words of a promoter of the

VERSAILLES, Ind. February 23-
George James and his four young
daughters were burned to death in
their farm house, four miles from Yer
sailles, early to-day. Mrs. James and
another daughter were away from
home. A son twelve years old made
a desperate effort to get his father and
sisters from the burning house, but
failed
Just before daylight James arose and
built wood fire in the kitchen range
In some unexplained manner the stove
fell apart and in a short time the
house was filled with smoke. The
fire spread quickly. 1t first awoke the
four girls, who slept on the second
floor. They rushed down stairs to
their fathers room and tried to get him
to leave. Apparently, he was stupefied
by the smoke and refused to move.
A twelve year-old-son who had been
sleeping with his father, escaped
escaped through the rear door, and,
finding it impossible to get back owing
TO the rapid spread of the fire, rushed
to window of his fathers room and
broke in the glass with his fist. he
begged those inside to climb through
the broken sash, but they made no re-
ply. Then he ran to the farm bell,
which he rang for several minutes,
alarming the neighbors But before
help arrived the house was a mass of
flames and in a few moments the
whole structure fell burying the five
inmates.

NO WATERFRONT BULKHEADs.
Reason for the Very Sudden Sink
ing of the Big Vessel.

CHESTER, Pa, February 23.-The
steamer Rio De -Janeiro was one of a
fleet of Pacific mail steamships built
at the Roach ship yards in this city,
although she was not contracted for by
the Pacific company at the time of her
building.
In 1887 the late John Roach con-
ceived the idea that feet of first
class American ships running to South
American ports would build up Ameri-
can trade in that section and prove a
profitable investment, and he organized
company among his friends and built
and equipped two ships for the trade
as his share of the capitalization. 1t
was believed that Congress would aid
the enterprise by giving the line a
subsidy for carrying the mail, and the
new ships Rio De Janeiro and City of
Para were built for the service.
The Rio De Janeiro was launched
on March 6, 1878, and just one month
later, on April 6, the City of Para was
launched. This was a great occasion
in Chester, and President Hayes and
several members of his cabinet were
present as the guests of the veteran
ship-builder. President Hayes stood on
the deck of the Rio De Janeiro, and
from this point of vantage saw the Para
Slide down the ways.
In speaking of the loss of the Rio De
Janeiro, John B. Roach, president of
the ship-building company, said:
The rapid sinking of the ship was
due to the fact that she was not built
as modern ships are, with water-tight
bulk heads, dividing the vessel up into
comparatively small compartments. At
the time the Rio was built this prac-
tice of insuring the safety of vessels
had not been developed as it is to-day.
The Rio was a staunch and steady ship.
splendidly constructed and had proved
her seaworthiness in a dozen typhoons,
but the lack of water-tight bulkheads
was a fatal defect in case the ship
struck reef which tore a large hole
in her"
