crime, marriage		The dispatches told the other day of a wedding contracted against the laws of the state of Washington, to which a minister in one of the Grays Harbor cities was a party. In order to evade the law which forbids the marriage of cousins, the couple desiring to be married engaged a launch, and took the minister with them, who made them man and wife far enough out on the Pacific ocean to be beyond the jurisdiction of the state. Perhaps it may be said in consequence that no law was broken where the ceremony took place, and that therefore no one is to blame, and yet the fact remains that the whole transaction was an evasion of the law. Allowances must be made for the actions of lovers, but the action of the minister can only be condoned on the plea of ignorance. And yet the press knew, and there must have been facts sufficient to acquaint him with the facts in the case. These known, he became a party to the violation of a good law for a fee. Far different was the action of that minister in the East who refused to perform any marriage ceremony during June, because he had found most divorces resulting June weddings, evidently because sentiment entered more into these weddings of the "marry month" of June than of any other month of the year. There are people enough already who make a living by breaking the laws, without ministers of the gospel helping to swell their number.

Lawe appealed to the Russian consul to have the more turbulent of his passengers taken from the ship. His request was refused and he promptly purchased enough rifles and ammunition to arm his crew. Then he clapped more of the disturbers in irons and subduing the rest with a show of force continued on his voyage.     Reaching Odessa, the Garonne found the town in a state of siege and accordingly went to Theodosia, where she arrived in safety, according to a dispatch received from Capt.

fire	Mr. White's Machine Shop	FRONT STREET BLAZE Timely Arrival of Help Saves Mr. White's Machine Shop - Fire Apparatus Work Well.     Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, for the first time in a long while the fire bell was sounded in Marysville. The fire bell together with the Ebey mill whistle quickly brought a large crowd together to fight the fire which was located in the upper story of the Marysville Machine shop. the prompt response of the fire apparatus available along with the stream of water thrown on the building from the mill near by soon checked the fire, and what might have become a serious conflagration, considering the time of the year and the location of the building, was made a comparatively light loss. The shop is running as usual.     The evident cause of the fire was a spark from the Dexter shingle mill. There is a report that the spark catchers on the mill are not very effective in stopping the sparks. The pumping apparatus belonging to the fire department worked splendidly on the fire.
