The State Board of Health last Friday is-
sued an interesting pamphlet entitled
" Marriage" designed to furnish all neces-
cessary information on the new marriage
law that took effect in New Jersey on July
1st The law just enacted requires the
issuance Of license in all cases where
both of the contracting parties are not
residents of the State. But the pamphlet
contains much general information on the
subject of marriage. 1t was complied by
Attorney General Grey and the members of
the State Board of Health.
An interesting part Of the pamphlet is
that in which it tells who man or woman
may MT marry under the laws OF New
Jersey. It says
1t is not lawful for any man to marry
his grandmother, grandfather's wife, wife's
grandmother. fathers sister, mothers sister,
sons wife, sister, sons daughters daughter,
daughter, sons sons daughter. daughters
daughter, sorn's sonsiwife, daughters sons
wife, mother, step mother, wifes mother,
daughter, wife's daughter, wife's sons
daughter, wife's daughters daughter,
beother's daughter or his sisters step
daughter.
1t is not lawful for any woman to
marry her grandfather, grandmother's hus-
band aud'sgrandfather, fathers brother,
mothers brother, father, stepfather, hus-
bands father, son, husbands son, daughters
husband, brother, sous son, daughters son,
sons daughters, husband daughters daugh
ter's husband, husbands sons son, hus-
bands daughters son, brothers son or her
sisters son.
In its summary of the present law the
circular continues 80 The law Of this State
does not prohibit any person who has OBJ
tanned a decree of divorce or any person
against whom decree of divorce has been
obtained from remarrying. When person
has another husband or wife living at the
time of the second marriage, such second
marriage is absolutely void, and the issue
thereof Legitimate Where a marriage
within the prohibited degrees above men,
toned has taken place it is not void from
the beginning, but it is good ground for
divorce. The divorce, however, will not
render illegitimate the issue of a marriage
SO dissolved"
WHO MAY sOLEMIZE MARRIAGES,
Marriages between such persons as may
la wfully enter into the matrimonial rela-
ton may be solemnized by the chief JUS
tice and each and every associate justice of
the Supreme Court of this state, by the

WEST END VS.. cLARKsBoRo.

The West End boys went down to
ClarksborO on July S, and were defeated in
game which was holly contested for the
first three innings, but after that rather
one-sided.
The two teams made very striking
comparison, the Woodbury. team looked
like mere boys alongside of their antago-
nists, but after the game commenced the
kicking tactics of the Clarksboro team soon
convinced most spectators that it was a
case of boys against boys. The big little
boys won by the score of 5 to 0.
West End lost through their inability to
hit Gibson. who averaged about two strike
outs to an inning. The West End infield
excelled that of Clarksboro but the out
fielders of both sides played rather loosely
Clarksboro scored four runs in the fourth
on two two bsggers, base on balls and an
error, and one in the eighth. Score by in
nings:

CONCLUSION.

City books l have examined.
CONCLUSION.
/ might add that haye experienced
great difficulty in this examination, owing
to the lack of books. papers and material
which should be of record and which
should be ready and open to an accountant
employed in work of this kind. The most
important materials relating to some of the
years. were never furnished me, although 1
repeatedly asked for them, but was always
told you were unable to procure same. 1
resorted to such reports, warrants and other
records of Council as I was able to gather
with the assistance of the Finance Com
mittee, some Of whom were of great help to
me. 1 was also hindered by the loose and
decidedly unbusiness-like and unintelli-
gible manner in which the records of both
the Treasurer and Assessor were kept.
(Signed) FRANK P. DELL.
Mr.. Glading moved that copies be printed
for the use of members of Council.
Mr.. Cloud thought the newspapers would
print the report in full, and Councilnen
could get it in that way. Messrs. Andrews
and Best also opposed publishing the paper
bv authority of Council. The ayes and
nays were then called for, and Mr.. Glad
iug's motion was lost to 1, his vote being
the only one in the affirmative.
Mr.. Best said that the charge of $35
against Mr.. Moore seemed to demand an
explanation. The Committee, he said, was
almost satisfied that $50 of that sum was
turned over the Treasurer, but as there
was no receipt the Accountant was COM
PEELED to report it as it stood.
Mr.. Andrews then presented resolution
directing the Clerk to notify George E.
Reading, late City Treasurer, and his bonds
men that the accountant employed by
Council finds that during the years go, '93,
'94, '95 and 1916, he has received $1513 Is
more belonging to the City than he has
turned over, and to notify him and them to
pay the amount to the Finance committee
on or before July 90, 1897.
A like resolution directing the bondsmen
OF the late Delinquent Collector, Geo. w.
Smith to pay up, was also adopted.

AFTER LOWELL'S JOB.
German Americans Want One Of
Them to Succeed Him.

The German-American voters of the Eighth
ward are in favor Of Mayor Doran appointing
German-AmeTican as captain Of police at
the Rondo street station. The Eighth Ward
BuerServerain, Of which Nick Pothen is presi-
dent, held a meeting yesterday afternoon
and decided that a German-American should
be given the position. No particular person
was mentioned the proper German Ameri-
can for the position, although it is probable
that President POthen would not object if
his son Henry Pothen, now lieutenant at the
central station was promised and given the
place. The Buergerverein members say that
the ward is largely populated with German
Americans, and that this class of voters are
really responsible for the election of the pres
ent administration The German-A mericans,
they also claim, have no representation in
the way of commissioned officers at the Ron
do street station. A year or so ago this was
different, but since Mayor DOran took charge
the officers at the station have been changed
SO that today, in the ward having the largest
number of German-American voters and Re-
publican voters at that, there are no German
American police officials in the police substa-
ton which is located in the ward.
A petition will be presented to the mayor
asking that this state of affairs be remedied
at once. In case his worship does not feel
that there should be a German-American
captain at this station the Buergerverein
will be satisfied with a German-Amercan
lieutenant or even with German-American
sergeant.
After deciding this mCmentous question, the
meeting appointed a committee of three to
have printed 500 copies of the constitution
and bylaws of the association. A committee
of five were also appointed to arrange for a
ball to be given Easter week, the proceeds
to be used by the society. Louis Wendt. wh1
acted as secretary of the meeting. stated that
the society would not take up any matters
political until about October next,
