Park.

Yesterday was the second day of the
big Schuetzenfest of the Gernania
Schuetzen Bunds, Washington Rifles of

or more successful one has ever been held
in New Jersey. The day opened with a
big parade, in which the bunds from all
over the State took part. The big par
ACE was scheduled to leave Columbia
Hall at ten o'clock, but owing to the
lateness of the hour sat which the out of
town bunds arrived the parade did not
start until noon. There were over 1900
men in line, and about so wagons and car
riages.
The line of march was Ocean avenue,

the Boulevard, to the Park. All along the
route the houses and stores were be-

OUR MILD HEALTH BOARD.


The County Board of Haaith held a
mild and unexciting meeting yesterday
afternoon. President varick and DR..
Sonnell Were present. Counsellor Win
field said that in view OF the frequent
enquiries about the marriage license law
he had prepared a digest and suggested
thai it be published.
The last request for information came
from tie Rev. H.. c. Cusler. The first
section of the law provides that when
both parties are non-residcnls Of the State
'ney aust procure a. license from the
County Clerk five days before the mar
rage. y eitificatos in duplicate are
attached 10 the license. one marked
original and the other duplicate The
officiating Clergyman Or magistrate is re-
CURED to I'll cat both certificates. The
original is given to the parties and the
duplicate must he sent 10 The County
Clerk. The County Clerk Is required to
make his returns to the State Board of
Health within thirty days under a penalty
o. $lJ0. The County Clerk Is also re-
lrired to index the marriages for which
he gives licenses. No license is required
ii either party is a resident OF the State.
Giving false information to the officiating
clergyman or magistrate makes the per-
son giving such information liable for
perjury. The penalty for violation of the
law is six months Imprisonment and $500
fine. After some discussion as to how
the new law will affect the records or
vital statistics kept by the Board, the
matter was laid over until the next meet
ing.
Clerk Rooney reported that Mrs.
Michael ]. Kenny. of No. 3l4 Fifth
street, Jersey City, had applied to him
for a copy of the record of two marriages
which, she said. had been performed by
the Rev. Father Mooney of st. Mary's
Church. One was the marriage of Michae
j. Kenny to Mary Gammel on January 81,
1884, and the other the marriage of Law
renee Kenny to Mary Dougherty in
March of the same year. Mr.. Rooney
had no record of either marriage and
Counsellor Winfield was requested TO com
municate with Father Mooney on the
subject.
Permission was granted to Undertaken
George Stevens to remove the body OF
Russell W. Cole from q vault in the Jer-
sey City Cemetery to the Arlington Gene
terry, provided it is done within two days:
The body is that of an infant who died
on May 70, from teething.
Undertaken Stevens made application
for permission to remove the body of
Joseph Stahl, who died of scarlet fever,
from one grave to another In; the Airing
ton Cemetery. 1t was refused.
Counsellor Winfield inquired If DR.. For.
man and DIR. McGill had made returns OF
births, one in 1852 and the either in 1883,
and Clerk Rooney said they had not. Mr.;
Winfield will write to them. Mr.. Winfield
will also write to the Rev. Mr.. Fletcher.

rage of Warren Richards to Carrie
Whitaker.
