was quiet civil marriage here today, of
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 CO.
respondent in the recent suit for divorce
which was granted to Mrs. Ollie Lake
Corbett. So quiet had Corbetts inten-
tions been kept that not even his man
ager, William A. Brady, knew that he in
tended matrimony soon, nor were any of
his other friends in sporting circles ap-
prised OF the event.
Justice of the Peace John Borden en-
tered the Corbett cottage at noon, for the
Catholic church OF which Corbett is COM
municant does not sanction the marriage
rite for a divorced person. He found
waiting in the parlor ]. e. Workman of
Jersey City, paymaster of the Consoli-
dated Traction company; Joseph Corbett.
brother of the pugilist. who assisted him
in a recent restaurant unpleasantness
with Fitzsimmons; Alice Brown, the col
ored cook, and two newspaper men. A
slight mistake delayed the wedding, for
some official hand handed out birth
certificate instead uf the required marri-
age license. Mr.. Bucklaw was dispatched
down town and soon return ed with the
necessary paper.
When they entered the parlor together,
Corbett wore black cutaway coat and
light trousers. HIS fancee wore laven-
der silk costume trimmed with lace. and
with Pompadour corssge and delicate
blue r.; ;bbon around her neck. Corbett

alone in the big building. After re-
manning there at the piano several min
