Captain F. Norton Goddard. the Republican
leader in the XXth Assembly District, will prob
ably go TO Albany some day next week, taking with
him policy bill similar TO the one that was

poor people of the city at the policy game and the
bill will probably be ready early next week. Cap
tain Goddard has been encouraged in the belief that
a good ant-policy bill will be passed this winter.
If State Senator Grady and Anthony Com
stock unite in efforts defeat It, State Senator
Elsberg has agreed take charge OF such bill in
the Senate, and Assemblyman Weekes has offered
TO advance the bill in the Assembly.

There is a provision OF law that the possession
of burglars tools is d crime. but nobody supposes
that innocent nan carrying burglars tools can
be convicted OF crime. The provision is merely
made a means of holding the professional burglars
who are caught with "jimmies' in their pockets.
Some OF the legislators were scared last winter by
the statement that the provision desired by Captain
Goddard might permit the conviction of innocent

WHY THE MARRIAGE rs NULL.
IMPLEMENTS WHICH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH RULES SHALL VITIATE
WEDDING CONTRACT.

The dispatch received from Montreal yesterday
containing the full of the decree of the Sacred
Congregation Of the Propaganda at Rome. that the
marriage of Jean Eduard Delpit and Aurore Jeane
Cote both Of Montreal null because of the
impediment Of clandestiness," attracted consider
able attention yesterday in Church circles. This
decree simply sustained according TO the dispatch,
the sentence OF the Curia Of Quebec. In the Que
bee Province the marriage law allows the Church,
il is said to oyerrule the civil law. One OF the
priests Of the parish St Patrick's Cathedral was
seen last night by Tribune reporter. and in speak
ing about the dispatch said:
This decree is based on the Tridentine law Of the
Church That law Is binding in some parts OF this
country. The authorities Of the Church in this
country called upon to decide such marital
questions in which the persons interested immi-
grants who secretly married in n country
where the Tridentine law is observed.
The priest then handed the reporter book
regarding the marriage laws Of the Church. Ac-
cording to the book the dirment impediment arising
from secrecy or clandestnity in the celebration Of
marriage Consists in this. that the parties get
married in occult manner-that is, not in the
presence Of their OWE parish priest and two wit
nesses." The Council of Trent has set forth that
in the of those who shall attempt TO contract
parish priest of other priest by permission
Of the said parish priest of the ordinary and in
the presence of two three Witnesses the Holy
Synod will pronounce such wholly Incapable of
thus contracting. and will declare such contracts
invalid and null.

CHIEF OBJECTION.

Although the bill introduced at Albany on Tues

cost OF the proposed Improvement. Mr.. Grout said
yesterday:
The bill it stands provides that one-half of
