MARRIAGE RESOLUTION
+ REJECTED BY BISHOPS.
Episcopal Convention Refuses to Accept
Doane's Bar in Cases
of Divorce,

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 10.-A resolu-
ton offered by Bishop Doane. of AL
bany, N. Y, before the House of Bish-
ops of the general Episcopal convention
yesterday, the purpose of which was
to deny the ceremony of marriage to
any persons having living husbands OF
wives, having been divorced from them,
was rejected by the house after a long
discussion, in which many of the more
prominent members joined.
The rejection of the resolution fol-
lowed the report of a special commit
tee on marriage and divorce appointed
to render an opinion On this matter.
The committee recommended that the
resolution be rejected, and this recon-
mendation was acted upon.
The bishop of Albany was the author
of the resolution adopted at the Boston
convention in 1904, which limited the
remarriage of divorced persons to the
innocent party.

MAINELLI LICENSE
DENIAL MADE OF WIFE.
BEATING CHARGE.
Counsel Says Excise Board Should Not
Believe Reports-sweeney Compli-
ments Members.

The Board of Excise laid over yes
terday the application of christopher
Mainelli for a license to conduct a sa'
loon at 1904 Verona avenue, because
lof a rumor that the man had mis-
treated his wife. SO much attention
was paid to this by the commissions
ers that, while they agreed 1t was
merely hearsay, they delayed action so
Jas to make an investigation of the al
Legations.
The, application was laid over last
week because of a petition signed by
residents in the neighborhood.
Two petitions were presented TO the
board, one of which, signed by about
$50 persons, protested against it; and
another, signed by about 40, asked that
it be granted. The location is in the
centre of the italian section, and 1t
is claimed on behalf of the applicant
that there are no Italian saloons in
that neighborhood.
August Soffel, who appeared on behalf
of several owners of property in that
neighborhood, asked that he license be
refused on the ground that there are
too many saloons in that neighborhood
already. Counsel representing other
property owners called several wit
nesses who testified to hearing rumors
of Mainelli ~mistreating his wife. They
refused to swear that such was a fact,
but declared it to be the talk of the
neighborhood.
A%lgernon Sweeney, former police court
Judge, appeared for the applicant and
denounced the slurs upon his clients
character, He said that such should
be accompanied by positive evidence
before taken into consideration.
81 know that this board is infinitely
wiser than it's predecessor and will
give the evidence careful considera-
ton" he said. This statement caused
a Juror.
At the next hearing Mrs. Mainelli will
appear and testify about her husbands
conduct, and on this will probably de-
pend the boards decision.
Giuseppe Pallitti withdrew his ap-
plication for a license at 317 Walnut
street, as he had been led to believe
that it would not be granted. The To-
cation is at the entrance of the East
END Park, where there is a children's
playground.
The application of William A. Doug
las for a transfer from William Fauler,
at 1O4 Tichenor street, was refused, by
reason of complaints made by residents
of that section.
In all, thirty licenses were granted
yesterday. Seventeen of these are re-
newals. A total of LIS licenses have
been granted by the board this year,
with 297 transfers and sixty-three dou-
BILE transfers.
