MINISTERS OPPOSE THE LAW.
The Lloyd Marriage Bill Fallen Into
q Trance.
s'sccsal 70 TIC Jerseu Cdfu Nears.

TRENTON, March 2O,, 1886 REV. E.
i5 5ieWltt Of Camden and Rev. Mr.. Herr Of
sey M e. Conference, which adjourned
this week after a session at Bridgeton,
and also the Camden preachers meet
ing I, az appeared, before the Senate Con Com
afternoon to oppose the passage Of AS
senblyfnan Lloyd's marriage license BILL
This measure is similar to the Pennsyl-
vania law with a few notifications.
Mr. Hewitt. who was formerly pastor
of the First NJ g. Church of Trenton,
said the bill would impose hardship and
inconvenience upon people who wished
to be married without placing any addi-
,tional restrictions about the marriage rite.
One objection was that the laboring man
would be obliged to lose a half day If
he wanted to be married so as to get his
license during the hour the Office was
open. The bill would simply take all
the ministers and vest it in the County
Clerks. Under the present law the min
ister was liable TO fine of $500 for the
marriage Of a minor, without the con-
sent OF Rarent or guardian, and there
was no use demurring to a suit of that
kind. But in the face of this fact and
that SO many marriages were performed
in Camden, no such suit had ever been
Instituted in that city In addition to
this the contracting parties would often
be inconvenienced by being obliged to
drive many miles over country roads to
the county seat for a license.
The Rev. Mr.. Herr contended that the
present law would be better than the
proposed one. The violations were very
few, and the change would make it no
better.
Mr. Lloyd said that twenty-six States
had it under consideration for the Dis
trict of Columbia The City Clerk of
Camden had informed him that of 400
marriages performed in that city, 4,0OO
all of these were from Pennsylvania,
These persons were evading the law, in
their own State. 1t would throw addi-
tional safeguards about the marriage
rite and would be a source of income
to the State. The record of marriages
would also be made more complete.
The Indications are that the bill has
fallen into trance and cannot be re-
vived before adjournment.

prone to delusions.

House by Constable Joe Locke. however

The doctor suggested that if he ex-
planned her delusions fully the jury would
not perhaps insist in bringing az sick

consisted in believing that one religious
sect wished to govern the United States,
and if they did they would kill her. Often
she wouldn't eat, and the officials were
obliged to use force in giving food. She
had visions and was not safe to be at
large.
After the Commissioners had assured
the jurors that they were not going to
take Mrs Outwater's property from her
and appropriate it to their own personal
use, but see that some one would be ap-
pointed to take care of it for her. and
When she recovered her sanity set aside

over to her again. the jurors relented.
