DEFIED THE LAW.

A Man Who Doesn't Like Marriage Licenses
Causes a Stir In the Beaver Valley-A
Wedding without the Aid of the Courts
"A Fee That Will Cover a Fine.
The good folks of the Beaver VALLEY are
talking about a matrimonial event out Of
the ordinary. A short time ago WELL
known and worthy bachelor decided to wed.
He has always opposed the marriage license
law, SO tits said, and when it was passed
denounced it as unreasonable and out
rageous. At that time, however.
his most intimate friends never
thought he would ever need q
marriage license. However, Cupid finally
captured his heart, but did not conquer his
prejudice. So he, decided to wed without
the formality laid down on the statutes of
the State. Hence the talk in the Beaver
Valley and beyond its borders.
As the story runs the bride and groom WIS.,
tied popular Presbyterian minister, and
the benedict requested that the religious
portion of the ceremony be carried out with
out the civic preliminary. 1t is alleged
that the minister strenuously opposed this
action, but finally consented after the groom
had pressed upon him $780, the amount of
the fine prescribed for violation of the mar
riage license law.
The ministers of the Valley and some in
this section are especially active
in discussing the marriage, and not
few are demanding action on the part of the
church. The law does not fix penalty
upon the parties to a marriage without
license Section IA of the act OF 1886 says:
If any minister, justice. or any other
officer or person shall solemniZe the mar
riage ceremony, or shall be attesting wit
nesses to the same, within this Common
wealth, without said persons having first
obtained the proper license as hereinbeiore
men toned and set forth, he or they so Off
ciating or attesting shall forfeit and pay
the sum of 500 to and for the use of the
county in which said marriage was sci
emniZed.

that the administration has been safe and
satisfactory, and they are afraid change
might prove disastrous.

poor showing in the registration. Tam

nance passed at the last meeting of Com

append their reply. The Silsby Company
failed to give me the information asked for,

for. Respectfully submitted,
w. Nj. KENNEDY, Mayor.
Mr.. Kennedy moved that, the resolution
be referred back to Common Council for re-
advertisement tor bids for an engine with
out gold or silver ornaments.
President Lindsay said: "Hadn't you
better kill this ordinance at oDce?"
Mr.. Lowe-That would not be wise. The

Central station property on Oak alley had
been sold last Monday to I. jackson for
Ss5, 900, and that the city, after expending

have to vacate at the termination of two
year lease, nearly half of which has ex-
pired
The fact is the sale was made on January
%. Chief Brown says he has five-year
lease on the property and the option of
buying it at its expiration. He would have
bought at the time Jackson did, having the
first chance, but did not have the money,

penses at the time the last appropriation
ordinance was passed the item was left out.
The original lease was for five years and
three months, but the three months expired
before the alterations were made.
