County Clerk Donaldson, and Deputy
County Clerk w. Perkins. The two for
mer testified to the age Of the girl, while
the last named testified that he had issued
the marriage certificate to the defendant,
Jas. w. Long, and had taken the oath
made necessary in such cases In his testi-
mony he failed to remember whether the
defendant had his right hand uplifted
when the oath was administered, and the
oath taken concluded with the words, So
help you God" The counsel for the de-
tense at this point objected to the oath. as
the law required that the person taking the
same should swear ''By the ever living
God and also that his hand should be
nplifted.
Considerable argument was made upon
both sides on the point raised, and at the
suggestion of the court an adjournment
was taken until last evening, this allowed
the court an opportunity to consult the
authorities before rendering an opinion.
LAST NIGHT.
on the convcning of court, Judge Smith
rendered his decision which was in effect
that the oath was not valid, and that no
perjury suit could rest ON it for founda-
ton.
BY the decision the prosecution failed to
make out a case, the jury was sent for, and
instructed by the court to find verdict
of not guilty. The verdict was rendered,
and the prisoner discharged.
The announcement was loudly appluded,
and one of the persons so applauding was
fined by the court. The fine was paid, and
the court adjourned until this morning.

FIRE.

This morning smoke was discovered Is
suing from the building No. 1908 Second
avenue and the alarm of fire was prompt
ly given. The Wide-a-wake and Neptune
hose companies were soon on the ground.
and by their prompt action the flames were
soon extinguished. The building is occu-
pied on the first floor by the American
Sewing Machine agency. The second
floor is used as dwelling by Mr.. Leary
and his family, and the third floor has late
ly been fitted up as temperance hall
where meetings of that character are held.
The building is owned by E. Turner, the
boot and shoe merchant.
The fire originated from a defective flue
placed in the hall on the third floor, but
the pipe was connected with a chimney
that had not been used for some time on
account of its known defect A large fire
that the flames were thereby communicat-
ed to the roof which is covered with tin.
This morning the smoke was seen in the
hall, and an investigation revealed the
fact that the roof was on fire. and that the
same had been burning for some time. It
is probable that the tin roof prevented it
from gaining much Roadway. The firemen
cut holes through the tin, and had several
streams of water playing on the burning
roof. In a short time the flames were ex-
tinguished The loss from the fire is very
slight, but that resulting from the water
proved to be of greater value. The
ceiling and plastering generally through
out the building will have to be replaced.
The loss on the building was fully cover
