Better Released ON Bond.

CINCINNATI. March 30.-There was an

berry, committed on his way back from the
FitZsimmons-Corbett fight at Carson City

tence. He pleaded for suspension on the
ground that he was earning an honest liv-
ing as a theatrical manager and would re-
port weekly TO the court. His record was
against MIN. however, and the case was
taken to the United States Court of APP
peals, where his release was ordered to-
day under a $40, 1000 bond. pending a new

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. March 3O.-Gov-

NEW CANADIAN PRECEDENT.
Marriage of Catholics by n Protestant
Clergyman Held To BE Legal.

MONTREAL, March 3O.-Judge Archibald
to-day dismissed the action of a former
secretary of the Lieutenant Governor of the
province of Quebec, named Delpit. who
asked 10 have his marriage annulled after
having lived seven years with his wife and
after she had borne him children. The
ground on which he based his action was
that, though Catholics. they were married
by a Protestant clergyman; therefore there
really existed no marriage. The case was
taken up by the ecclesiastical court of the
Roman Catholic Church. which upheld his
view of the case, but Judge Archibald dis
missed the case on the ground that mar
riage is a civil contract and that religious
differences cannot affect IL.
This judgment establishes an important
nrecedent and is the first serious instance
of the civil law in the province of Quebec
which is nodded on the old French law,
differing with the ecclesiastical laws.

Mapleton's Cave.

A special in last Friday North
American says that a big cavern
has been discovered up in Hunt
ingdon county. 1t says:
ga wonderful cavern, rivaling
in beauty and natural phenome-
ma, if not in size, the famous
Mammoth Cave, of Kentucky, has
just been discovered across the
Juniata river from Mapleton.
"At this point a perpendicular
cliff of sandstone rises to a height
of 200 feet. From this cliff
building stone is quarried. A
few days ago heavy blast re-
vealed the entrance to the mar
velous cave, and workmen at once
enlarged the opening and explor-
ed the mysterious depths.
"It remained, however, for a
party of students of the Saltillo
High School, headed by Bruce
Yocum, to make a more thorough
examination of this wonder of ma
ture. For seven-eights of a mile
they followed the windings Of the
cavern. They returned to the
surface again without reaching
the end, which is believed to eX-
tend miles into the mountain side,
as there was no indication of a
terminus.
"Among the features of the
cave is a great corridor, extend
ing for half mile in almost a
straight line with a uniform
height and width of from ten to
twelve feet. The hand of man
could not have made the great
hall more regular. It's walls are
of crystal which danced and
sparkled in the CLEAN of the torch
light.
cat the end of this magnificent
passage-way is an enormous
vaulted room, from the ceiling of
which hangs a giant stalactite.
Lesser stalactites glisten here
and there. Over the floor of the
room flows a stream of limpid
water.
"At another point a fissure
appears, of unknown depth, from
which issues the distant murmur
of a subterranean river.
Several passageways open from
the mammoth chamber. These
have not as yet been explored. "
