JIM AND VERA WE'D
QUIET MARRIAGE IN THE CORBETT
COTTAGE AT ASBURY PARK.
After n Brief Tour the Champion Re-
turns to Continue Training for the
FitzsfmmOns Fight.

ASBURY PARK, n. j., Aug. l5.-There
was a quiet, civil marriage here to-day. CT
which the principals were Champion James
j. Corbett and Jessie Taylor. of Omaha,
better known as Vera Stanwood the name
under which she figured as correspondent
in the recent suit for the divorce which wss
granted to Mrs. Corbe.t. So quietly had
Corbett's intentions been kept that not
even his manager and travelling compan on,
William A Brady, knew that he intended
matrimony so soon. Nor were any of his
other friends in sporting circles apprsed of
the event.
Justice of the Peace John A. Borden en-
tered the Corbett cottage at noon. The
Catholic Church, of which Corbett is a
communicant, does not sanction the mar
riage rite for divorced person., and the
justice was obtained to officiate. He found
waiting in the parlor j. Z. Workman, a
real-estate man of Asbury Park; p. ].
Buekalow. of Jersey City, paymaster of the
Consolidated Traction Company; Joseph
Corbett, brother of the pug!list who. as
sisted him in recent restaurant unpleas-
antness with Mr.. Fitzsimmons; Alice Brown.
the colored cook, and two newspaper men.
A slight mistake delayed the wedding. for
some official had handed out a birth cer-
tificate instead of the required marriage
certificate Mr.. Buckalow was sent double
quick down town and returned soon with
the necessary papers.
When the couple entered the parlor to-
gether Corbett wore black cutaway coat
and light trousers: his fiancee wore a
lavender silk costume trimmed with lace
with a Nine. PompadOur corSage and a
delicate blue ribbon around her neck After
Justice Borden had pronounced them man
and wife Corbett threw his arms around
his wife's neck and kissed her heartily
two or three times. Congratulations fol-
lowed. The couple left an hour lafterward
and colored Alice threw rice after them.
They took train for Buffalo and Niagara
Falls. where they stay for ten days, after
which Corbett will return and begin train
ing for his match with Fitzsimmons.
1t would have been illegal for the pair to
marry in New York, for the decree of di-
vorce made in that State barred the
pugilist from remarrying auring the life
time of his first wife. Legal authorities
say that they would not be recognized by
the law as man and wife while living in
New York In the marriage certificate the
