Marriage ton Saadays Marriage tt HI
ora. v- X
A Newv York paper write as follows
of rack marriage i . ,'
There is, we heard an eminent lawyer
allege a few days since, bo marriage le
gal which is celebrated on the 8abbath
day. There are, no doubt, tweuty thou
sand couples in this State alone for whom
the marriage ceremony was performed on
the Sabbath many of them in the even
ing of that day. A note drawn and
signed on the Sabbath is illegal, or any
other legal agreement between parties.
Marriage is a legal contract, which, if
peformed out of legal time, necessarily
must be void ; and claiming this, the
sous and daughters of a recently de
ceased millionaire mean to contest his
will, because in that a large portion of his
estate was willed to tbe children of their
stepmother, who was wedded to their
father on the Sabbath, in a church in the
eity of Rochester, this State. .
If the question is to be decided that
such marriages are illegal, another long
catalogue of vexatious suits will be
brought into our courts by parties simi
larly related to the oue above mentioned.
The decision lately rendered , by a
learned judge of our courts, that mar
riages of minors are illegal, . and a di
vorce for such not necessary in order
that they can separate and remarry le
gally, since it was carried into immedi
ate practice by the parties for whom the
decision was rendered, ii proving bane
ful to society. The barm this decision
does to our social system is temporary
only, and if tbe entire marrying public
but learn of this decision tbe future
will witness less elopements of young
couples, and a less number of cases
where guileful and designing meu entice
young ladies from home in order to wed
them.
That the ceremony of marriage per
formed for minors on any and all day of
tbe week, or for a couple where one is a
minor aud the other an adult, should he
pronouueed illegal and non-effective is not
so strange. But in the face of long
practiced customs that Sabbath day wed
dings are illegal will strike thousands
with feelings akin to consternation
With all ours laws and codes, it is, in
deed, strange that those legal enactments
which most concern oor personal welfare
aud happiness are least known and un
der8'xod by the general public, including
our most intelligent people.

Emigration of the Comaiunist Criminals.
A despatch recently received from
Paris, says : Tbe French Government
has given a qualified assent to the scheme
for the emigration of the Communist
prisouers in three clashes : First, violent
persons and those guilty of crimes who
are sentenced to bard labor for life ; sec
ond, dangerous persons who are to be
sent to a penal colony ; and to a third
class general amnesty is granted in case
of their voluntary emigration. The last
are permitted to go to Arizona, the gov
ernment giving them transportation and
mining tools, tents, arms and subsistence
for six months.
On the 25th nit. a meeting was held in
Baltimore to organize an Anti-Roman
Catholic party. It is said that about five

convention on the 8th of August to form
an American Union Party. The New
Tork Democracy is digging tbe grave for
Roman Catholicism, bnt don't know it.
John JUrrissej's Gambling Place.
A correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
Injuirer writes as follows of John Mor
rissey's gambling place : Returning we
branch off at the street which parses the
lower end of Congress Hall, and half a
square brings us to Morrissey's gambling
establishment. It is a fine specimen of
architectural beauty, and it is not won
derful that many pleasure-seekers are at
tracted thither to see the sights. Built
of pressed bricks, with trimmings of
brown-stone ; crowned with a ponderous
dome which, when lighted up at night.
becomes translucent, reminding one al
most of a fairy palace or mansion in the
skies ; terretted fantastically, and, in
fact, adorned with every conceivable at
traction, it stands a monument of tbe
power of money and braius.
Tbe statesman Morrissey nightly
is to to found there serenely drawing his
gains into the till. Last season John's
houte was open to all comers during the
daytime, and he showed himself willin
to explain politely the modus operandi
of each game The result was that he
was picked up by the Young ' Men's
Christian Association, his implements
confiscated and himself put under bonds
Consequently this year he is more care
ful in extending his favors, and evident
ly with all his influence he stands in fear
of tbe indomitable Y. M. C. A. It is
said however, that he threatened the city
authorities that if disturbed in his gam
bling operations he would have the races
removed from Saratoga, and thus the
city would lose a vast amount of patron
age. Whether the authorities accepted
the compromise we are not informed, but
it is certain that the gambling "hell' con
tioues in full blast.

respondent of the Pbilapelphia Inquirer
writes of it as follows :
P. S. Gil more has published a pros
pectus for a World's Peace Jubilee. He
proposes to erect at Boston a coliseum
that shall seat 100.000 persons. Poets,
composers, artistes, and conductors of
every land will be asked to take a part,
and each nation represented by a mag

Ybs it is true we are sick of the silly

who only flatter him for the sake of bis
vote, be is a poor shout, who deserve
neither sympathy nor help from any
source Uur idea ot a real working-man
is that he is an independent man, as far
as one man can be independent of
another or other in this world, and per

New York, July 30 As the Staten
Island boat " Westfield" was starting
from her dock at tbe foot of Whitehall
street, next to the Battery, at half-past
one, to-day, with a heavy load of com
pany, mainly of the usual class of Sun
day excursionists, to tbe number of about
three hundred, her boiler burst with a
tremendous explosion, : shivering the
whole upper work of the boat into a
thousand pieces, and laying open the
whole forward part of tbe hull from the
very keel The spectacle on the ill-fated
vessel, subsequent to the explosion, is
beyond description. A great yawning
abyss stretched from abaft tbe engine
room close to tbe stern, and tbe deck
seemed to have opened like a sepulchre,
to swallow its ' load ' of precious human
freight in the dark hold beneath. Tbe
dead and dying were lying about in
every direction among the debris of bro
ken timbers, splinters and heavy ma
chinery. LATER ACCOUNT.
Tbe following is a late account of the
ferry boat disaster : The first bell bad
just rang when the explosion was heard.
and the scene of- confusion and terror
which resulted baffles description. The
boiler, bursting, carried away the whole
of the boat in front of the steam -pipe
and scattering the debris on all sides
Men, women, children, horses, wagons,
boards and chairs were hurled in the air.
Nothing escaped that was on the forward
portion of the boat. The passengers in
tbe rear rushed for the entrance en masse,
but very few escaped without severe in
juries.
The scene was frightful, and many
fainted from fear. Bodies, debris and
portions of the wreck fell among the pas
sengers and increased the confusion.
Many fell into the river, and, being
unable to help themselves, were diowned.
Boiling water was scattered in all direc
tions, scalding those who were unable to
get out ot its reach. The wind was
blowing inward at the time, and forced
water on that part of the boat near the
dock, whence the greater portion of her
passengers bad ffed.
Tbe bodies of tbe injured were taken
to tbe Park Hospital, to tbe First Pre
cinct Station House, and to Bellevue. A
large number were taken to the Hospital
in the park, which was soon filled, and
they were forced to send the remainder
to Bellevue. The screams of tbe woun
ded were heart-rending, and tbe scenes at
the hospital were terrible.
One of the two firemen on the "West
field." named Robert Crawson, was in
bis fire-room at the time of the explosion,
and says that fifteen minutes before the
accident he was on the cylinder wiping
it off. He then went into one of the
cabins for a drink of water, and thence
into the fire-room, where he heard a bis
sing noise proceeding from the rear boiler
and went to see the cause
He had gone bnt abontbalf the length
of the boiler when he found the steam
so dense that he could proceed no further,
and turned to come back, when he was
struck in the face by a flying splinter
and knocked down. He made his way
to the deck as fast as possible. This his
sing noise which Crawson heard must
have been tbe starting of a plate-patch
ing of tbe boiler ; and was the first pre'
monition of the impending disaster. '
An examination ot tbe boiler, as it
now lies at the bottom of the boat, re
veals the fact that the explosion occurred
at tbe rear, and that a piece about four
feet long and two wide, was torn out of
the jacked, and thrown one hundred feet
on to the dock, at the barge office. An
other and larger portion of the boiler
was thrown directly forward into the
bow of the boat.
In Bellevue Hospital at midnight there
were twenty four bodies in coffins and
ten on slabs, all frightfully scalded, large
patches of skin being torn off in many
places.
July 311 A. M The most reliable
returns of the casualties by the explo

wounded about 120.
TERRIFIC LEAP FOB LIBERTY'
v v '
A Haaa-Caffrd Prisoner Jompi Frosljl
Swiftly MofiRw Tram to EscF
teefl Years' trnftitommmU )
Joseph K- Turner, the Tittwville law
yer, who was convicted few day ago,
in tbe United States Court, at Erie, . of
attempting to defraud the Government
out of a large amount of pension money,
ou Wednesday performed an act which
entitle him" to take immediate rank
among the most daring criminals that
tbe age ' has ; produced. On Tuesday
evening Judge MeCandless sentenced
the prisoner to five years imprisonment
in the penitentiary and a fine of $1000,
for forging the signatures to tbe pension
papers, also to alike penalty for forging
the signatures to vouchers, and to four
years' imprisonment aud 81000 fine for
opening and detaining letters. The pris
oner heard the sentences with some emo
tion. He' was taken back to prison
where he remained nntil morning, when,
at ten o'clock on Wednesday the officials
of the court started for Pittsburg, Tnrner
accompanying them in the custody of
Deputy Marshals, Campbell and Hall.
The prisoner was hand cuffed in the
most secure manner, and seemed to be
perfectly easy in his bearing. The
deputy marshals stayed with him until
about two o'ciock in the afternoon, when
Hall walked into the smoking car and
left Campbell in charge of Turner. Tbe
prisoner soon afterward asked permission
to walk np and down the aisle of the car.
As he had been sitting down four conse
cutive hours the request seemed natural.
and, Turner wearing gyves of the
strongest make, it was not for a moment
supposed that he would try to escape.
After a little walking the prisoner walked
into the water closet, Campbell follow
ing bim to the door. Some ten or twelve
minutes elapsing and Turner not reap
pearing, Campbell opened the door of
tbe closet, but no Turner was there He
had jumped through the window hand
cuffed and all as he was.
The train was stopped as soon as pos
sihle, and both the deputy marshals
alighted to look for their man. The po
lice at Greenville. Mercer county, the
nearest station, were telegraphed to to
look out for him, but District Attorney
ewope, wno arnvea Lome about six
o'clock last evening, has not been advised
of his recapture. Oue of the passengers
on the traiu stated that they saw a man
with his hands tied gather himself up
from the track. This is the only in
stance of a sight of Turner having been
obtained after he entered the closet. The
officers were, of course, con siderably an
noyed by his escape, but as they have
hitherto been esteemed among the most
efficient employees of the government it
is not likely that the affair will seriously
damage their reputation.
Earthquake In the Philippine Islands.
London, July 27. The earthquake
in tbe Philippine Islands on May 1, af
fected in a terrible manner the small
island of Camaguiu, five miles from
Misamia, For some months previous,
especially in March, there was a succes
sion of violent shocks, which opened ex
tensive crevices in the earth, and finally,
on May 1, the level plain near the vil
lage of Catarmin began gradually to sub
side, until the tops of the bouses became
level with the surface of the earth. This
remarkable phenomenon attracted a large
number of people, when suddenly some
terrific shocks were felt, and before the
thundering rebeveration bad died away,
tbe whole level plain fell, eneulohine one
hundred and fifty persons.
Tbe plain became tbe crater of a vol
cano 1500 feet wide, and from it smoke,
ashes and stones were thrown into the
air. A pause till dark succeeded, when
there was another explosion, and a rain
of fire followed. The woods became ig
nited, and men and cattle went flying be
fore tbe flames. The spectacle was
frightful in the extreme. The volcano
continues to eject stones and earth.
Tbe inhabitants left the island, which
formerly contained a population of 26000.

Ma. Editob : The time is ner at hand
when the people of this county will have to
elect candidates for tbe various offices to be

highly Important that good men should be
chosen for every position, we, in common
with the voter of Cumberland and Perry
counties, have one office to fill of more than
ordinary importance I mean that of Presi
dent Judge, an office we are called upon to
fill only once in ten years, and which, from
its very nature, requires that no one wo
docs not possess the necessary qualiScstions
should be selected to fill. The candidate
should be a man of sound legal learning.
strong mind, good judgment, unbending in
tegrity, industrious habits, aud one who ean
control his temper, be firm and entirely free
from all political bias, and who would ieal
ously guard the interest, of tbe people in the
administration of justice. I know of no one
in the District who possesses these qualities
in a more eminent degree than the Hon. B.
F. Jus kin, of doom field, Perry county.
Ma. Jc.xKis is well and favorably known in
this county, and, could be be prevailed upon
to permit his name to be used as a candidate.
bis nomination would be gratifying to almost
eveTy Republican in this county. Cumber
land county has had the candidate ever since
the formation of tbe District, and it would
hardly be just or fair for them to claim it
again at this time. ' POPCLUS.
ASSOCIATE JUDGE.
The office of Associate Judge, though not
lucrative, is onc of the most important in the
county. We have frequently heard the name
of Dr. J. W. Bkalc, of the borough of Per-
ry.ville, mentioned aa a suitable candidate
for this po-ition. ' He is popular, able and of
nnimpeacbable integrity ; a man of modera
tion in bis political views, and favorably
known to the whole community. He is there
fore offered to the Republicans of the county
a their candidate for Associate Judge ; and
for this purpose will be supported by
MANY CITIZENS.
ASSOCIATE JUDGE.
D. M. Jamisos, of Fayette township, is one
of tbe deservedly popular Republicans of Ju
niata county. Hia manliness and integrity
is recogniied wherever he is known. Such
qualities fit a man for tbe position of Judge ;
therefore, at the earnest solicitations of many
of his friends, we ask that he be presented
to the people of Juniata county as a candi
date for Associate Judge,

bonmen in Boston ready to join the
rioters in Aew York, if called upon, or if
the Hibernians had been successful in
their attack upon the Orangemen and
military. They had spies at different
newspaper offices and the telegraph of
fices to gather information ; and if the
rioters had secured any degree of sue
cess, they would have gone forward and
reinforced tbem at once. The mob was
chiefly composed of employees in the
city gas houses, and comprised many of
the leaders in the Boston draft riots.

shot during the riots in Eighth avenue,
and one of whose legs has since been
amputated, figures in the Rogue's Gal
lery at Police Headquarters at No 291
in the album, under the alias of Ellen
Melleville. She is an English pickpocket,
having been born in Liverpool, and her
real name is Ellen Coffey.
: She assumed, about two years ago, the
surname of tbe burglar Jim Casey, who
was subsequently shot at the corner of
Twenty sixth street and Sixth avenue
by John McCorroick, and another bur
glar during a qnarrel over the spoils of
a bank robliery.
Tbe detectives assert that she lives in
luxurious style in Eighth avenue, and
has two interesting children whom she
sends to a fashionable school in Lexing
ton avenue, and dresses in costly gar
ments. On the day of the riots she was
plying her vocation in the crowd on
Eighth avenue when she was shot. She
is s i ill at Mount Sinai Hospital, and will
recover. Nne York Post.
Aa exchange says that last week a
crazy man named Simeon Benedict, a
clergyman of the African Methodist Epis
copal Church at Weeksville, Brooklyn,
was arrested for attempting to shoot chil
dren in the Orphan Asylum with a load
ed musket. As far aa ean be ascertained
be got it into hia bead that there were
altogether too many children, and it was
hia daty to kill them off in order to lessen
the number.
