MARRIAGES WERE FEW.
Report of Register Torrey Shows the Eject
of the Marriage Law in This County.

Register of Deeds P. c. Torrey has
been making some researches in the
records of the county in connection
with the making out of his annual re-
port and has discovered some interest
ing facts.
The report, as filed with the County
Board, will show that during the year
just ended there had been Isl deaths in
the city, which is much more health
full showing than has been made in
many years. An examination into the
records show that many of the death
reported have been people who had
reached their full quota of three score
years and ten, while not a few had
lived to be over four score years. 1t is
noticeable that contagious diseases
have caused only few deaths during
the year and these were confined TO
small children. Half a dozen cases
would cover the entire number of
deaths from contagious diseases, while
those from consumption are on the de-
crease.
While there have been Isl deaths in
the city and county the population has
been increased by the birth of 400
children, the ajority of which were
males. The death rate will be seen to
be very low, as counting on popu1a-
ton of 1000, the rate would be only a
little over 2 per cent.
But the most interesting fact devel-
oped by the researches of the Register
is the decrease in marriages in the
county during the last three years.
The passage of the True marriage law
proved to have been sad blow for the
county. During the year just passed
there were only 218 marriages in the
county. This number is considerably
smaller than the number last year,
when, it must be remembered the
number was augrmenteds'by large
number from Chicago, which were en-
tire1y cut off by the passage of the'1aw.
A true comparison of the marriages
which show the effect of the law is to
compare those for the year just passed
with the number so1emnized in 1893.
In that year there were 623 in the
county, showing falling off of fully
two-thirds as a result of the passage of
the law. This reduction of business
has been felt by all classes, but the
burden has fallen heavily on ministers
and hack drivers, and it is stated that
the marriage business of the ministers
of what it was in 1898.

changes in the legislature, and self
seeking party leaders, have not only
had their development hindered but
have been deliberately crippled. On
the eve of what promises to be great
educational revival, it is well for the
people of Wisconsin to prepare to pro-
tect their state university from these
dangers and maintain the high stand
ard it has achieved.

MR.. MORGAN'S REFUSAL.
SAID TO HAVE RETURNED NEGATIVE
REPLY TO REQUEST FOR FUR
THEIR CONFERENCE.

Pittsburg. Aug. 1.-The Commercial Gazette"
tomorrow will say:
The Amalgamated executive board last even
ing received by telegraph a fiat refusal from j.
Pierpont Morgan to reopen the wage conference
where il was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln
nearly three weeks ago. The powers of the
steel combine insist IN this communication that
the only basis of settlement will be on the terms
which the financial hacker of the combine, Presi-
dent C. NJ Schwab and Chairman Ebert H.
Gary laid down at the meeting with the Anal
f,amated executive in New-YOrk last Saturday.
A member of the executive board of the as
sociation last night said: These terms are de-
nominated by those who have the best interests
of the organization of steel workers at heart as
the most unfair the most unjust ever proposed
to any body of workingmen by a set of en-
ployers or a corporation The terms are such
that the executive board of the Amalgamated
Association cannot accept and has already gone
on record to that effect"
Tomorrow morning the answer Of Mr. Morgan
Is expected by mail There is scarcely frag-
ment Of hope that the Amalgamated Associa-
tion will back down from its well known posi-
ton. The leaders of the workers will in reply
outline their plans TO the Steel Corporation for
ii continuation Of the great struggle They Will
include the stopping of every wheel possible in
the works OF the combine ana the extension OK
the strike In all possible directions by the Anal
gamated Association.
To-day may develop much. but If the combine
cannot be made 20 waver through the influences
that will be brought to bear. the great conflict
Will probably be fought 10 the bitter end.

o'clock last evening. the Amalgamated men in
waiting at headquarters were informed by tele-
phone from the Carnegie Steel COmpany's Of

naming DR.. Joshua w. Herring of Carroll. and
j. Frank Turner, OF Talbot. to succeed them

Under the guidance of Mr.. German, the fol-
lowing declaration upon the chief issue in the
campaign was prepared and adopted:
The Democratic party represents than forty
thousand majority OF the white people of Mary

voters have been injected into the body polite

of franchise to those who able to read and

nounce the Federal authorities for alleged frauds

The platform went through without dissent

harmony came when the announcement of the

ELECTRIC FREAK IN CHURCH.
LIGHTNING SETS FIRE TO INTERIOR
WITHOUT ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

One of the most amazing freaks Of lightning
ever witnessed in White Plains revealed
yesterday when George Lent. sexton of the
First Baptist Church of that village. entered
the building for the first time since Sunday. The
church. a stone edifce. is situated in Mamar-
oneck-ave.. in the heart of the village. and its
congregation is made UP of the fashionable
people of the place. No service has been held
in il since Sunday and the only one having
keys TO the church is the sexton The church
stands back from the avenue about a hundred
feet on a plot of ground 200 feet square There
is no, house nearer than hundred feet. There
are only two rooms In the building, one being
the main auditorium and the other a large Sun
day school room so feet wide and 30 feet long.
II was the Sunday school room that Lent
entered The first thing to attract his eyes was
smoke stained walls. Then he saw that there
had been a fire. He walked up the aisle to
where q large organ stood when he last saw
it, There was organ to be seen. and a hole
about twelve feet square just where the organ
had stood. was burned through the floor The
organ stood next the wall at the east end of
the room over il had been a gas fixture The
inner wall was torn away from the ceiling to the
floor, so the stone used in the outside
struction of the church was in plain view. There
hole about three inches long in the roof.
The gas fixture was torn away and the gas
was burning brightly in the stOnework.
Further examination showed that ten of the
heavy floor beams had been burned through.
The sexton let himself down into the cellar
through the opening. He found a pile of ashes,
which the only trace left of the organ
The doors and side walls of the Sunday school
room were badly blistered and showed that a
hot fire had been raging in the room.
The only explanation given is that the church
was struck by lightning on Monday afternoon
about O'Clock. How the interior was so badly
burned and the organ destroyed. without at
tracing attention. cannot be explained The
sexton says all the windows and doors were
closed on Sunday night The costly stained
glass windows were black with smoke, but not
one was broken or even cracked. Among the
things burned up were chairs. hymn books.
prayer books and many Biblical quotations
which hung in frames on the walls.
