A STRANGE MARRIAGE.
Washington Perks Webs His Step
NIOTher.
From. Tie Pbtlade,ohia Record.


A Wedding occurred at Manasquau, Y.
j., on Wednesday evening which has
caused a sensation at that place and has
given rise to much gossip IN Camden,
where the parties dwell. Washington
Perks, young man who not long since at
tanned his majority. who resides at No.
$50 Arch street, Camden, was married to
his step-mother. The affair was witnessed
by a number of the field ana staff officers
of the Sixth Regiment, Of Camden, now
encamped at Sea GIrt.
Young Perks father, Richard, was
quite prominent citizen of Camden dur
ing his lite. He made considerable money
in manufacturing tassels, and was elected
Councilman at large on the Republican
ticket about seven years ago. AT that
time he resided at the southeast corner of
Fifth and Stevens streets. Shortly after
the death OF his first wife he married a
domestic employed in the family, which
gave great otfense to his daughters, who
were prominent members OF Camden's
best sotiety. The daughters left the
parental home, and then Mir. Perks, with
mis- young wife, Nettie, went TO live at
No. $50 Arch street. The affair caused a
great deal of adverse criticism, and much
sympathy was manifested for the Misses
Perks. A few years ago Richard Perks
died, leaving nearly all his estate, about
$50, 000 to his wife. Since then the son
has been paying attentions 10 his fathers
widow. He had lived with his father at
No. $50 Arch street, and Continued to live
there ever since with his step-mother, aud
the bond of affection ripened into love
and resulted in the union OF the son and
step-mother. The latter IS about 50 years
of age.
1t was stated by Camden lawyer yes
terday that this marriage is prohibited by
the New Jersey statutes as being within
the prescribed degrees Of affinity. Such
a marriage is prohibited by Law in this
State.

trouble in the pool was a fight between
The Queen and Crescent and Louisville
and Nashville systems. An amicable
agreement was reached and all the roads
signed the contract, hut for how long has
not been stated. Commissioner Ogden
states that the association has been eX-

The continuation of the pool means a

Nashville, there will be peace. Instead
Of ruinous rate cutting, rates will be

Unless the association had been contin-
