train and stepped directly in front of the
passenger train while attempting to
step out of the way or the freight. At
Wilsonburg the train ran into flock
of sheep and killed six of them, injur-
ing many more. At Petroleum, the en-
CINE broke down and another one had

near Torch, Ohio, and was delayed for
several hours, while car of naptha was

According to the Boston Herald the
high tariff on wool is responsible for
the fact that We are using cotton, shod-
dy, mango and other substitutes to the
amount of 100000 900 pounds a year.
AN eastern correspondent points to
these figures as 'the solution of the
problem of why our wool market is
dead land the farmers deluded and hum
fair chance. But l am glad to see that
the parties who killed 1t are now get
ting it in the neck" This is more
vigorous than Christian. But after all
there is little Christianity about the
tariff.

Remarriage of Divorced Persons Is
Not Prohibited.

wA HE final vote of the House Of
81 Deputies on the much-discusSed
# canon on marriage and divorce
81 was taken yesterday afternoon
a and resulted in a victory for
those deputies who were op-
posed to the total prohibition
of marriage of divorced persons.
The canon providing for the discfpining
of divorced persons also went down TO de-
feat in the committee of the whole of the
House of Deputies.
The result of the votes yesterday on the
canons on marriage and divorce and on
the disciplining of divorced persons who
remarry is to leave intact the church
legislation that has been in force for many
years.
An important measure was also adopted
by the House of Deputies yesterday after
noon, when majority vote accepted the
amendment to the constitution presented
by a committee of which the Rev. DR..
Huntington was chairman, providing for
the spiritual oversight by a Bishop OF GER
tain congregations not in union with the
Episcopal church. This amendment was
in line with the one previously introduced
by DIR. Huntington, but which was defeat
ed earlier in the convention. The new
amendment clearly defines certain attri-
butes which the congregations and their
pastors must possess before an Episcopal
Bishop can give them Spiritual oversight.
