Charles u. Howard. colored, of Central
Falls. senior at the Seventh Adventist
academy at South Lancaster. Mass, was
married on Wednesday evening to Miss
Maude Ethel Fisher OF Battle Creek,
Michigan, a pronounced blonde. The
ceremony was performed at Leominster,
Mass.
Howard has been expelled from the
academy. Similar fate has been meted
out to Reuben Greene of Worcester, who
posed as best man at the wedding.
Prof. Frederick Griggs. principal OF the
Institution. read TO the school at chapel
from a newspaper the details of the epi-
sode, which had been so frowned upon by
the faculty of the school, and while the
200 boys and girls there assembled held
their breath in amazement at the vast
temerity OF the disgraced seniors. the
head OF the Institution discoursed, sermon
fashion, incidentally upon the sanctity Of
the marriage VOW and particularly upon
the ironcad rule OF the academy.
Prof Griggs gave out q signed state
ment OF his position and that of the
school which is I'm substance as follows:
1--WE found upon inquiry from Mr..
Green this morning that the statement
Of facts as published is substantially true.
This hasty. unwise procedure Is a direct
VOCATION or tne spirit ana regulations or
the school. and the parties concerned
were perfectly aware OF this fact Upon
consideration OF their course OF conduct
the faculty summarily dismissed the
young men from the academy. We con
sidered this the most consistent means
OF showing the unqualified disapproval of
the faculty and school Of any such con-
duct on the part Of students The fact
that these young men were seniors and
nearing graduation together with other
previous offences, only makes this Of
fence the greater.
81 greatly deplore the publicity of the
very unfortunate occurrence, but the
same causes me TO feel that II is due 10
the school that l make this public state
ment concerning our attitude toward the
affair. that II may be known that while
we regard marriage as honorable. we
do not approve Of nor Will we counte-
nance on the part of any OF our stu
dents any such. an unwise course rs has
been pursued in this affair. To do so
would be 10 disgrace our school and the
sacred institution OF marriage as we'll
Nothing Of this kind has ever taken place
before in the 20 years experience of the
academy, and we hope that II may never
be repeated. Very sincerely,
FREDERICK GRIGGS.

tinity TO explain things.
AS each one OF the commissioners who
has talked Of the matter within the past
few days claims that he has had little

details that come mp at the commissions s

Potter will have TO bear the brunt Of the
questioning. as the others assert that he

matter at great length yesterday. and

CLERGYMEN
MAY ACT

The Clerical club. an organization OF
Protestant Episcopal o1ergymen of the
Rhode Island diocese, has directed that
the following notice be sent 10 all its
members,
at a regular meeting OF the Clerical
club. held Feb. 6. Il was voted that the
club request the bishop TO meet the
clergy of the diocese at the parish rooms
OF Grace church. Providence, on Monday,
Feb. 13. at 10 a. m, TO consider the de-
STABILITY OF united action on the part OF
the clergy in political reform in Rhode
Island.
"In compliance with the above request,
/ shall be glad 10 meet the clergy at the
above mentioned time and place.
(Signed) WILLIAM n. M'VICKAR."
Speaking Of the notice, Bishop McVickar
says:
IL have no definite idea what viii be
done at the meeting referred TO I'm the
communications which ! have sent 20 the
members OF the Clerical club. 1t Is In
tended | understand, 10 get together and
talk over the situation in this state with
respent 10 the question Of bribery and cor-
ruption. The meeting is calico at the re-
quest OF number OF prominent clergy
men OF our diocese.
1.-The request came as the result of a
talk in the privacy OF one OF our monthly
Clerical club meetings, and 1 am not at
liberty 10 say who were the most inter-
ested in proferring the request for the
special meeting"
AS To the nature OF the possible de-
liberations Bishop McNickar said that II
might well happen that individual action
would be advised as the result of the pro-
posed conference, rather than any action
representing the Clerical club as a unit.
AS president of the Clerical club Bishop
McVickar will probably preside at the
meeting, 10 which none who are not mem
bers of the club will be admitted.

OYSTER
STEAMER
MISSING

Among the oyster men of this city there
is considerable anxiety being felt over the
mystery connected with one Of the local
oyster boats. There is particular anxiety
felt by the firm of Merwin & Sons, who
are the owners Of the vessel the William
NJ. Merwin.
The vessel left here last Saturday, sail
ing for Milford, Conn, and has not been
heard from since that day. Both the
telegraph and the telephone has been
used I'm the efforts TO locate the steamer.
but up 10 this time all efforts have been
OF no avail
William Merwln has been making the
search for the boat. He fears that she
may have struck an ice foe or drifting
cake which stove a hole in the hull and
sunk her. He is most anxious concerning
the crew, which Is made up OF G. NJ.
Hughes master. OF Bridgeport Conn;
Lucius Coffin, engineer. 2S Taunton ave-
nue.. East Providence; Edward Bronzey,
deck hand. Warren; Charles Barrett. deck
hand, East Providence; Edwin Connor.
deck hand. Milford. Conn, and Thomas
Sasdler, cook. Port jefferson. N. Y.
Mr.. Merwin said that the one place pos
sible for the boat Is Gardeners bay. at the
east end OF Long Island sound That is
the only place where she might be and be
a1ust that he has not heard from.
The Merwin was furnished with 20 life
preservers and good llfeboat and If she
has met with disaster the men would
have all possible facilities for saving
themselves.
The relatives OF tho men are decidedly
anxious and Mr.. Merwin is constantly be-
sieged with their queries. He Is very far
from giving up all hope for the crew. but
feels great apprehension. The Merwfn is
81 feet long, is feet wide and was built
