mitted to probate. A stipulation had been
entered into on behalf of a number Of the

been done the will was today proven and ad-
mitted to probate. The naming Of the admin

THE PROPOSED MARRIAGE LAW.
The Clerk Of the District Court Makes = Re-
port Against It

The Clerk Of the District Court Makes Re-
port Against It
The clerk Of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict has made a report upon the bill to regu-
late marriages in the District Of Columbia, in
which he says:
Il find it in my opinion largely impractical
inqulsitorial in its character and prohibitory
in its operation. 1t would greatly increase the
clerical labor Of this Office over the present sys-
tenn. without increasing the fees necessary to
meet its additional expense. 1t makes heavy
liabilities for illegal issuance Of licenses.
and at the same time does not clearly define
what would be an illegal issuance. The pres
ent law has stood the test Of twenty-five years
and has been found simple. practical and as
satisfactory as any law on the subject would
likely prove. The only thing in connection
with it that has given any serious
embarrassment 10 the failure Of ministers to
make the proper and legal return. after they
have performed the marriage ceremony. which
has in many cases seriously interfered with OBJ
tanning necessary legal information in regard
TO marriages. II il therefore my opinion that
the bill in its present form, If 1t became q
law, would in nowise be an improvement over
the present law"

the penitentiary at Albany.
VIM. Coleman, convicted Of perjury on Feb
ruary 4, was sentenced to the Albany peniten-
tiary for five years. An appeal to the court in
General Term was noted by his counsel Mr..
French, who urged that friends had written
letters showing that he WAS Of fair reputa-
ton.
The court said he was not first-class citizen
notwithstanding the letters, and proof was
clear to his guilt. On the trial here he did
not hesitate to perjure himself, and apparently
did only for the friendship he had with
the principal Perjury was becoming too prev
alent here and was almost daily committed in
this room. All who thus offend should be tried
and the sentences should not be light.
