Special to TIM ; Bni.l : The most notnblo
Incident In the electoral battle now waging
is the Intervention of a number of bishops.
The first to tuko up arms and join In the fray
was the bishop of Marseille ! , who deemed It
Incumbent upon him to Issue to tbo clergy of
Ills dloccso n circular , tolling thorn thai the
election of deputies was u political matter ,
and that it wat sinful to vote 111 that Is to
gay , to support any candidate whoso opinions
were not perfectly orthodox.
It wo may believe this prelate , pulpits and
confessionals are lilting places to establish
the merits of candidates for the chamber of
deputies.
In his turn , the minister of public worship
has issued a circular. Ho addressed it to
the episcopacy and wnruod thoui that , uudor
pain ot IncurrlngcarUln penalties prescribed
by the penal code , or of exposing thoinsolvcs
at least to measure ) of repression at the
hands of the government , priests wcro for
bidden to Interfere with political matters.
The circular might have bcou couched In
moro measured terms , but the ideas It ex
pensed were a very exact application of the
principles laid down in the Concordlat. Hut
several bishops have none the loss thought
it their duty to protest most warmly against
the minister of public worship's Instructions ,
and declare that they and the priests , bolng
citizens equally with other Frenchmen , hud
every right to take part In the elections.
There is ono fact which these prelates
should nnvo berne in mind , and which
they have apparently forgotten thai in
Franco the church is not separated from tno
state and that the clergy receive a salary ,
mid that If public buildings nro placed at
their disposal It Is not with the agreement
that they should bo allowed to use them for
the purpose of attacking the govarnmcn t
In this respect Henry IV. imposed silence
upon the preachers of the League Aocour-
sior. There was un expressive term
which the gallant monarch em
ployed of those who should dare
to mnlto their pululls pollllcnl platforms.
Napoleon 1. wontr further und ordered the
priests of his day to learn by heart and te.ch :
in the schools the catechism , in which it was
comiaatldcd to revere the emperor like God.
The republic of the present -day does nol
exact so much from the clorgy. All It asks
is thai they should abstain from politics and
that they should bo neutral. Is this too much
for thosu who deslro to preach ro-
ligioal Nothing is moro deplorable -
blo in tha Interests of religion than
the interference of the clcrp.v in elections.
On j of the greatest mistakns the Scizo Mai
government made was Iho forcing of eccle
siastics into thejelcctoral arena. By this it
gained the unpouular nickname of 11 govern
ment dcs enures. Furthermore , It excited
nnti-roliglous passions in every quarter , thus
leading the way for n policy of reprisals ,
Ys nlch has been pursued since. Their pas
sions aru beginning lo die away , but they
will revive again moro violently than over if
the clergy of Franco is so imurudcnl as to
join the electoral melee. .

Divorce Ituconl ,
CHICAGO , Sopt. 12. JSpoclal Telegram to
Tin : Uiu. : ) Thu most remarkable divorce
casa In many rospocls over tried m the
coin-In of Cook county , where remarkable
divorce cases are not by any means rare ,
was put through in Judge Tuthlll'o court
this mornlnir iu seven minutes. Koniark-
nblo as the circumstances of the story behind -
hind it , the case Is not loss extraordinary as
being ono which beats iho record of all
previous cases as lo the lima , The suit is
that of Kdward D. Tucker against .Joseph
ine Tucker. As the clock in the clerk's
ofllce of the circuit court showed lOiVi this
morning , Attorney Hufus King appeared In
great haste und Hied thu bill in the caso. It
required Cleric Bradley loss than Uvo min
utes to place the case on lile , In less than
the sumo lapse of tiuio Mr. King was upon
tbo next floor ubovo in Judge Tulhill's '
court , Hera n middle-aged man ,
un old lady and n second lady of about forty-
years were awaiting him , The threw pur.
eons weal on thu stand , ono after another ,
and at live minutes utter 11 a decree divorc
ing Edward U. Tucker from lj. Josephine
Tucker wan a mutter of record. Ten min
utes by the clock wui the time consumed
from the appeunvnco of the lawyer in the
clerk's otllco until the entry of the decree.
The proceeding broke thu record.
For two years thu cuso of ox-County Cora-
mUbloncr Coburn , which took twenty min
utes , has stood at the head of nil itlvorca rec
ords , but It must tuko second placa now
after the performuuro in the Tucker case ,
The mutter of time Is perhaps the least
wonderful part of the Tucker case , how
ever , Thu defendant , horulf. helped hei
hiiBbana to aucuro his divorce. Shu
wu the lady of forty , who
uwaltod Lawyer Klug'n coming , and the
service had on her in the court room eavail
delay und uiado It possible to try the case in
llyo minutes , ua "r'a
' story was a straugo
one. Ho murr.cd Josephine utVuyluiul ,
Bcuuyler county , Ulmols , m December ,
They lived together nbout ono year , when
she suddenly deserted him , disappearing
from hla slKlit completely. As ho discov
ered afterward , she went to Kansas and
there nftor u year or two got a dlvorco from
liim. The dlvorco was obtained without his
knpwlodgo , but ho made no fuss nbout it ;
Instead ho married n now wife , who con
soled him for n time , nt least , for the loss of
the old. Tucker's second man-logo 'did
not turn out well , for ho quarrelled with wifa
No. 3 and went to Utah. After ha
had lived long enough in thn Mormon terri
tory to have some standing In court ho se
cured a dlvorco from No. 'J. Then ho came
back to Illinois a free man , as ho supposed ,
and soon mot and loved another woman. Ho
married hcV and went to housekeeping in
Ponttac.Vlfo No. 3 hoard of his now hap
piness and she appeared In 1'ontlao and put
a sudden end to it. She had discovered that
tliero was an Irregularity about the Utah di
vorce , which was for desertion. The mailed
notice which was to summon her to defend
the suit , If slio saw lit to do BO , was not prop
erly ccrtllled by the clerk In the Utah court.
Tucker was arrested for bigamy and tlu
prosecution of the case developed a strange
state of affairs. It was found the dlvorco ob
tained by the wife of 1SGS , in Kansas ,
was illegal. The divorce ho secured amone
the Mormons was declared illegal. Ho was
still iho husband of Josephine , and nil tha
other wives were spurious. Ho was con
victed and sent to Jnhet. About a year ago
ho finished his term and came to Chicago ,
Mrs. Tucker No. 1 corroborated her hus
band's ' story ns to the marriage of 1SOS , her
desertion and the dlvorco she obtained In
Kansas. Her story was brief , but it was
sad. .There was a technical defect In her
Kansas dlvorco which rendered It Illegal , al
though she had married a man by. the name
of Morris and had become the mother of six
children without suspecting that the dlvorco
from Tucker was not lawful. Out
In Kansas , where she and her
family live , the public has no suspicion
that for so many yours she had .lived with n
man not legally her husband. Learning of
thu complications into which Tucker , as well
ns herself , had fallen , she canio to Chicago
to have Hie snarl unravelled , .ludco Tuthlll
ordered that n dccrco bo entered giving
Tucker n divorce on the ground of her do-
surtion in 1S03. It was a small matter to
Judge Tuthill. It was a small matter to his
gray-haired clerk , but what a big thing to
tlio shrinking woman in black who sat with
head burled In her handkerchief , sobbing
hysterically.
Tucker goes to his falhcr's homo to-day to
rejoin his third wife. Mrs. Morris returns
to Kansas.

A "GEXrijEME.VS AGUKBMENT. "
National Aflsoointtnn of Master Stcuin
mid Hot Water Fitters.
CHICAGO , Sopt. 13. [ Special Telegram to
TUB Ban. | Another "gentlemen's agree
ment" is under consideration in this city ,
and its consummation will result jn a trust
in an Industry which has hitherto been frco
from any combination * to control the mar
ket. This time it is the National Associa
tion of Master Steam and Hot Water Fitters
that is laboring to remove iho evils of com
petition. At to-day's meeting reporters were
scrupulously kept out of oar shot of the room
In which the gentlemen were wrestling with
certain tcom mltteo reports relating to the
demoralization of prices , and the sculo of
charges for estimates. Unjust competition
was also considered , and much heat was
generated in the discussion of various points
as they were suggested.
It was ascertained that the committee on
prices had reported a scale by which manu
facturers will bo requested to bo governed In
furnishing steam and hot water supplies , the
Idea being to prevent others than the trade
and curtain largo interests from enjoying
thn discounts hitherto offered to 'con-
sunisrs in general. It is believed that this
plan can bo as effectually carried out in the
interest of the engineers us a similar plan
has by the plumbers , who now receive dis
counts from which the general public is
wholly excluded by Iho manufacturers.
Another rcporl , rclaling lo charges for
making csllinulos mid to unfair competition ,
received its share of attenllon. A penile-
men's agreement is to bring the members to
observe certain stipulated terms in furnish
ing estimates , and the throat-cutting prac
tices of the past are to bo discountenanced
In * an omplmllo manner. Thu convention

Lives Lost.
Could Hold On No
LBWES , Del. , Sopt. 12 , It Is known defi
nitely this evening that up to the present
time there are twelve deaths ns the result of
the Htorin , Tha mate of the unfortunate J.
& L. Bryan told yesterday of the going
down of tha Kata E. Morse , of
Bath , Mo. , mid the Walter F. Parker , of
Philadelphia. This afternoon the sad
Intelligence comes that Captain Tracoy and
n crow of six men had found their lasl rest
ing place In iho ocean. The history ot the
two nights aboard thu Morse and Parker is
ono of suffering mid despair. The storm In
creased in volume and it seemed as if
the boat would go to pieces. All
attempts to stay on deck ware abandoned
and thu men on both boats strapped them
selves to the rigging and resigned them
selves to their fate. All Wednesday nftor-
nooii and night and until noon to-day they
remained bound to the rigging. Wednesday
night the storm howled mid boat against
them. These on tlio Pnrkor look lo the
rigging several hours before these
on the Morse , and late last night
by their cries , it was evident that they suf
fered terribly. Early this morniug nearly
every man on both ships was almost dumb
from exposure nud still from suffering.
Finally thosu on the Parker could stand it
no longer , and thu crow ot the Morse saw
ono of the men tear away the cords that
bound him and , with n yell , consign
himself to n living grave. In a few
minutes another followed his example , then
nnotlinr and another until Iho last man , the
captain , was seen to throw himself overboard
and disappear In the angry billows. These
on Iho Morse were horror stricken at the
sight they were compelled to view. The Im
pression was forced uuon the observers
that unless help soon came they would
have lo put un end to their
sufferings in the same way ns iha oilier
boat's crow. Tha captain of the Morse kept
his courage up and frequently urged his men
to keep up heart , as ho still hud'confidence
aid would come.
The llrst gleam of hope occurred this
morning , whun the Captain Williamson tug
saw n flag of distress flying and
nt once began making desperate efforts
to roach the Morso. but it soon was evident
it would bo unnblo to do so. The sailors
were almost exhausted and just before the
tug tiovu In sight , several men hud made
ready to throw themselves ovorbouid. .lust
as they were about to do so so mo one throw
u line with a buoy on the end
of it to the schooner and ono
by ono they jumped into the sou , caught the
rope and were pulled on board the tug.
When the last man was on board all were
taken into thu ungino room of the tug. Al
most us soon us the mmi loft tha Morse she
broke up , and iu a short time nothing of her
remained.
Kwcpi ly 11 Hurricane.
WILMINOTOX , Dol. , Sept. 12. News spe
cials to the Every Evening stuto that no
language can picture the terrible scenes along
tlio coasl. The wind is blowing almost a
hurricane in fierceness , driving the rain with
a force that cuts like hail. The half-mile
bench of sand between the town and the
coast Is a tossing , billowy ocean , beating
wreckage on every wave. Through the mist
of spray the taltcred sails and nuked masts
of n. score of dismantled and deserted ves
sels can bo dimly seen. Since Monday night
thu storm hns raced without abatement.
Yesterday's dawn showed a hundred vessels
which had sought the refuge of the breuk"-
xvuter. but the refuge was insufficient. By
11 o'clock the sea broke over the breakwater ,
wrecked thu'lolcgraoh station , carried away
the big fog bell , and rushed shoreward ,
sweeping away the steamboat pior.unddash
ing it und Iho bark 11 Salvalorl against th o
iron government pier. The piers
of Brown & Co. and Luco
Bros , gave way and were swept lo
sea. The United Slates marine hospital
was dashed from its moorings and sent spin
ning down the beach. The west life saving
station , forty feet above high water nmrK ,
was Hooded , and its foundation undermined.
Hugheyvillo. a suburb between the town and
the beach was submerged and its 200 inhabi
tants fled for life , leaving all their posses
sions behind.
The life-saving station crow , reinforced by
the Honlopea und Hchoboth crews , have la
bored almost unceasingly sinca the storm
commenced. The crew of almost every ves
sel thai struck was taken oft by. these
during men , und nol a life was lost among
thu scores of men they handled.
Aboul thirty vessels are ashore. A vessel
sunk off Brown's shoals , and all tlio crew
with the exception of two men who got to
shore on a raft , were drowned. Another
vessel has sunk on Shear's shoals. It is not
known whether her crew escaped.
The total number of lives lost will proba
bly aoxcccd forty. Five of the eight
men who composed the crew of
the E. and L. Bryan perished
where the vessel struck on Brandywino
shoals. Tliero is great concern over the
crow of tlio pilot boat Bbo Tunnell. She
put lo sea Monday and bus not bean heard
from since. Four pilots and a crow at eight
men wcro aboard her. An unknown schooner
is nshora at Kehoboth and Iho shore for

Late this afternoon Corporal Tanner loft
the pension onlco not to return nguln ns Its
commissioner. Ha has been given n leave of
absence , to continue until his successor Is
appointed mid qua'illed. ' Deputy Commis
sioner Smith will bo acting commissioner.
Mr. Tanner was in his official cnalr all day
signing his malf and attending to his last
acts in oflleo. Ho refused to see callers. Ho
simply awaited Iho official notification from
the prcsidcnl that his resignation had been
acceptedand Information from the interior
department ns to what ho was expected to do
with the ofllco ho was nbout to vacate.
When ho was notlticd that ho had been
granted n leave of absence ho bade his per
sonal friends good-by and went to his homo
in Georgetown.
Mr. Tunnor refused to bo entertained.
Your correspondent , who enjoys cordial
personal relations wlih him , was admitted
to his private room , but was linmodiatoly
told that nothing would bo said for publi
cation. Mr. Tanner deeply regrets that
ho got the president into such
an embarrassing situation and it was for the
purpose of showing his gratitude toward
the president that ho tlnally concluded to re
sign. Ho uiado up his mind so mo tiuio
ago that ho would not voluntarily yield the
reins of his ofllce. Kather , however , lhan
embarrass one who had honored him , Mr.
Tanner voluntariully tendered his resigna
tion.
It was generally believed on the streets
nud in ofllclnl circles that Major Warner ,
of Kansas City , late commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic , would bo np-
poiuted commissioner , but it was stated at
the iniorior department lute this afternoon
that Major Warner's coming to Washington
at this time had nothing whatever to do with
the lllllng of the vacancy existing in tha pen
sion ofllco. Ho was telegraphed , It was
stated to como hero for the purpose of moot
ing ex-Governor Forakor , of Ohio , another
member of the Sioux Indian res
ervation commission , that the
two might complete ) their report
which is to be submitted to the secretary of
tha Interior , transferred to the president
and Ihen go to congress for the purpose of
furnishing a basis for further legislation
preparatorily lo Iho opening of Ihis reserva
tion for settlement It Is not probable that
u commissioner of pensions will bo appointed
under several weeks and Iho ofllco may re
main In lu present condition until nftor con
gress convenes in December. Tbo president
is not determined just what ho will do , and
it is not considered that an emergency exists
which will rcquiro immediate aelion. He
may appoint Mujor Warner , but ho has not
yet said ho avon had him in mind.
Corporal Tanner is Undecided ns to what
ho will do , and It may bo stated ttmt the re
ports about his having been tendered various
appointments ut the hands of thu administra
tion nro without authority or foundation.
No trade was entered into for the
purpose of inducing Mr. Tanner to retire -
tire from oOico and no compromises
were mado. Ills resignation was
not demanded. After ho heard a full statu-
menl of Uio situation al bis house lust night ,
made by United Stales Marshal Humsdell ,
who represented the friendly interesls of
both thu commissioner and the president , he
concluded that ho would bo doing General
Harrison un injustice if ho insisted upon re
maining In his ofllco until removed , if. in
deed , ho would havu been removed had ha
refused to vacate.
A republican , whoso name is a household
word throughout the country , and who is an
intimate personal friend of Corporal Tanner
and General Algor , said to your correspond
ent this afternoon , in speaking of what the
commissioner was likely lo engage in for a
livelihood :
"When I was at the G. A. R. reunion at
Milwaukee last month I had a long talk with
General Alger nbout the situation in which
Commissioner Tanner was placed. Gcucral
Alger expressed very deep regret and
concern. Ho said that ho hud advised
Mr. Tanner to bo as Judicious
us possible in his onlulal capacity , perform
ing his duties us well as ho could , but , to
stand firm and not resign. General Algor
added that ho had assured Commissioner
Tanner that If ho would do as advised und
refuse to accept any other appointment , if
removed , ho ( Alger ) would back Mr. Tan
ner In business , und provide u heller occupa
tion ihun ho could secure in iho government
sorvico. Wholher Tannor's resignalion , and
iherefore disregard of a porlion of General
Alger's advice will have iho effect of caus
ing that statesman to neglect his assistance
in the way of business , now that the com
missioner is foot loose , I do not know. I um
confident that Mr. Tanner has no dcfllnito
Idea us to what the fuluro holds for him in
the way of office or business occupation. "
There is general sympathy for Corporal
Tanner in Washington. Ho bus boon uni
formly courteous and kind to these who have
culled at his oflico ou oflleinl business or in
private capacities. Ha has been extremely
attentive to the veterans and the common
classes , and has boon considerate ot tha
wishes and feelings of all who havu come in
contact with bun. Atiha same limo Ihcro Is
no incllnnlion on the part of his friends in
the G. A. R. or elsewhere to bo hasty , and
lly to extremes. There Is such n thing ns iho
corporal's army of friends standing by him
without becoming revolutionary. The vot-
eru'ns hero are moderate , und aru inclined to
study every pbaso of the circumstances
which confronted the president us well us
the commissioner of pensions. Most of the
criticism is directed toward Secretary Noble
and Assistant Secretary Bussoy. Where
there have boon any expressions on the part
of members of the G , A. H. , it is generally di
rected toward these olllcials , who are
charged by some to huvo not been us friendly
toward the commissioner as they should
huvo been. Assistant Secretary Hussoy as
sorts his Innocence of the oft repeated as
sertion that ho , months ago , encouraged
un estrangement , between Sccretury Noble
and the commissioner of pensions , or thai ho
in any way conlrlbuted toward thu placing
of thu commissioner in the embarrassing at-
titudu toward either the secretary or the
president or the people nt largo. Both Sec
retary Noble and Assistant Secretary Bus.
soy say that they hnvo no personal feelings
toward Mr , Tanner , and that the differences
which hnvo existed have been confined ex
clusively to otllclal business.
The transactions of last night and to-day
created no surprise uud elicit very little
