Ministers Fail 10 Make Returas as Re-
ouircd bx law.


Tho fact that an important law is not
complied with by the ministers OF the city
mas been brought 10 light by a recent oc-
currence.
Some time ago Rev. Jabez H.ll. one
OF Richmond's most beloved and IGNORED
pastors. a thoroughly conscientious man,
removed from this city TO engage in ed
vocational work in the West.
A few days since a police officer found
in a pile OF trash which had been thrown
out Of his house half a dozen certificates
OF marriages which had been performed
by Mr.. Hall during a few months pre-
cediug his departure.
The law provides that certificates OF
this character. duly signed by the minis
ter performing the ceremonies. shall.
within o specified time. be returned 10
the clerk Of the Hastings Court for record
No minister Is permitted 10 perform
marriage ceremonies until he has given
bond in the sum Of $500 with security for
the faithful performance OF all legal obli-
cations devolving upon him, one OF which
is the prompt return 10 the Hastings
Court Of marriage certificates. Failing
in this duty he IS liable 10 the forfeiture
OF his bond.
There Is no question but that the failure
10 do this on the part Of the ministers
is due wholly 10 thoughtlessness. and
failure to realize the Importance Of the
provision requiring them to make such
returns Their attention only needs 10 DO
called TO the matter 10 guarantee the
prompt performance OF the duty In the
future.
Mr. Walter Christian. clerk OF the Hust-
ings court. told me yesterday morning that
there were numbers OF ministers who were
derelct in this respect. although there
were some who were very punctilious In
the performance Of the duty.
There seems 20 be no case on record
where any minister has been brought 10
book for failure 10 make returns OF these
certificates. The reason for this. no doubt.
Is that il Is so generally recognized that
the derelicton is due entirely 10 thought
lessness on the part OF the excellent gen.
tlemen who perform marriage ceremonies.

The representatives Of the Richmond

Captain Wells said TO a Times reporter
that matters at the meeting were quite
harmonious. and satisfactory TO the
Southern clubs.
Some rev charges i'm business pertain
ing to the conduct OF the League were
made" said Mr.. Wells. zone Of them that
of putting the minimum charge Of admis-
sion 10 games at fifteen cents. which Will
prevail in all the cities In the league.
We opposed this change from ten cents,
but were out-voted SO I'm future the boys
and colored people will have TO pay fifteen
instead OF ten cents admission. Other
prices win remain as formerly.
Another important matter" said he,
lis the rule requiring all persons entering
the park to have tickets. This. Of course,
doesn't include policemen in uniform.
Worcester, Mass, wanted the
Athletics franchise. but Allentown. Penn

the names OF players already in this league

"A irst-class stan of umpires will be
secured and the league decided 10 pay
them as much as any other minor league.
president Barrows and Deacon Ellis
were appointed a committee TO confer with
similar committees from the Eastern and
Western leagues. with the National

cerned"
In reply to a question Mr.. Wells said
that there was a rumor that the Reading
team would change hands before the sea-
son opened as II was understood that a
party Of Reading business men wanted tho
franchise and that there was as Dossibi-
lity Of Denny Long selling out.
This Is only a rumor, though" said
Mr.. Wells, with a smile.

This he did. and it was received by the

Greatest Strain on Levees Yet
COme.-The Situation at
Greenvi!le.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The presi-
dent is showing great interest in the
news Of the floods III the Southwest
and his sympathy has been aroused at
the accounts of suffering people. 1t
was at first supposed hat the passage
by congress last week of the joint reso-
luton making Immediately available
the 1850, 600 appropriation in the sum
dry civil appropriation bill for the IN
provement of the lower Mississippi
river, under the direction of the Missls-
slppi river commission, would go far
toward allying the distress in the
submerged sections. Now 1t has
been discovered, however, that not
a cent of this money can be applied
legally to feeding and caring for the
people starving and shivering along the
banks of the rivers. Under the law the
money is appropriated for the improve
ment of the river and can be expended
only for the preservation Of levees and,
perhaps by a stretch of construction,
for the protection Of property. At the
time Of this exigency the president
has determined to bring the unfortu'
nate state of the people to the attention
Of congress, trusting to that body OF
the government to provide relief.

The river at Vicksburg will probably

nitely. The greatest strain on the
