| The entire faculty were present yesterday

Burleigh was on hand with Judge Kennedy

ments, but patients were scarce.

Frederick could not be given larger dose
than the one prescribed on the 23d inst.
Judge Kennedy still adhered to his former
opinion that as Mrs. Kreiger got SIT week
from Krelger's children by his first matri-
monial partnership and 81 more a week
from a rent, that she ought to be able to
keep the wolf from the door, even if her
sick spouse were on the free list, and the
most that she could get was division
OF the costs. Kreiger looked on
disconsolately and seemed to take
but little interest in the case, not enough to
pay half of the costs. If he isn't quite
sick he at least has a last-rose- -of-summer
look and appeared as limp as the last run of
shad.
Maud Teese, supported by her infantry,
appeared to substantiate Richards story
case was again continued for week, in
order to give him chance to raise the
costs.
George Foster Forgot to Die.
Jane Foster still neglected to appear
against her husband, George Foster, whom
she had charged with desertion, and George
again explained that Jane was leary about
coming to the fore on. account of having
contracted an alliance with another man by
making him believe that George slept with
his fathers in consequence of an accident.
George says James second husband left her
when he found that No. 1 was still in the

When the case of Thomas PARCELS was

Mr.. Osborne, her attorney. insisted that
Mr.. Frederick's S continuance in we'll doing
could not be assured without bond. Yester-
day Mr.. Frederick announced his intention
of living with Lille, but her attorney said
this wasn't sufficient. Judge Kennedy
opined that it must be, as man could not
be compelled to support his wife separately
as long as he was willing to behave himself
properly and live with her, but Mr.. Osborne
still persisted that Mr.. Frederick couldn't

HE HAD NO IDEA.OF TIME.
McGough Couldn't Tell How Long He Had
Been in America.

Been In america.
There was a considerable number of peo-
pie made citizens yesterday in order that
they might vote for reform Councilmen
and otherwise, possibly otherwise as rule,
but one man was hopelessly stuck on the
center This gentleman's name was Nc
Cough, and he suffered on account of his
having conceived an idea that the matter of
becoming Columbian was mere matter
of form. In answer to Judge Magee, Mr.
McGough stated that he had been in the
country four or i've years. His Honor said
this was too indefinite, and he refused to al
low Mr.. McGough's character witness to
set him straight, and ordered the principal
to proceed. Mr. McGough wasn't niggard-
ly in the matter of time, and so he told the
Judge that ne (McGough) had been in the
country six or seven years if four or five
were not enough. This was still held to be
void for uncertainty.
The applicant was next asked regarding
his age, and he said he didn't know when
he was born, but knew he was SO years old,
and related his memory of occurrences to
prove his statement. This might have
passed scrutiny, but the Judge finally put
the applicant off on longer probation, stat
ing that he could not entertain the applica-
tion of man who could not tell to GER
tainty whether he had been four or five or
six or seven years in the United States.

MUST OBEY THE LAW.

Suit Will Be Entered against Ministers
and PHYSICIANS Who Fail to Make
Proper Returns of Marriages, Births,
Etc, to the Bureau of Health.
The Board of Health is determined to
have ali laws pertaining to that department
rigidly enforced hereafter. For some time
past a great many of the various persons
who are supposed to- make reports to that
department have, through carelessness,
failed to send in the reports regularly. Inc
recent action of the Philadelphia Board OF
Health, taken against about 400 preachers OF
that city, will be repeated in this city In
the future. A great many of the preachers
in the CITY fail to make reports of the mar
riages thev perform, and the Board of
Health is determined that they Will COM
plv with the law or suit will be brought.
The board has been easy on the doctors,
midwives and preachers, and the condition
of affairs has grown worse every day.. The
records cannot be properly kept unless
these reports are sent in at the proper time.
The penalty for failing to report marriages
is $50 for each case The board will open
war at once on the clergy, and as fast as the
careless preachers are found out they VIII
be sued.
superintendent BAKER, II spedhllS VI II0
trouble the board experiences, said: we
have had more or less trouble over the
various returns the past several months.
We did not wish to be too strict about 1t, as
we supposed everyone knew how binding
the law is, and our position in the matter.
There are a great many cases in the city
where either a physician, midwife or
preacher has failed repeatedly to make
returns to us. There is no excuse TOR
it. We have brought suit against
some, who have been fined, but we
have heretofore withdrawn the suit
when it is the first offense. The law must
be obcyed and we will have it so hereafter.
I don't know how soon we will bring some
of the preachers to time, but it will be soon
if this practice continues, which 1t Will, no
doubt, until some of them are sued. A great
many think it is a very small thing, but 1t
is larger than they think. 3"
Another thing which will be looked after
by the board, is the practice of midwifery
by women who are not professionals in the
work The poorer class of people are
willing to allow these women to do the
work, as they charge as low as 80 cents.
They are ignorant of making returns.
