Marriage License Evils.

The Flannery case, just disposed Of by
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle, af-
fords full proof of nearly all the evils
which 1.-THE News foretold would result
from the marriage license aw. The case
shows that the law does not operate TO
prevent unfit or clandestine marriages,
because a false statement on the part of
the bride or groom is enough to overcome
the Instructions which 1t aims to inter
pose to such unions. On the other hand,
since, as Mr.. Van Wrinkle rules, the faet
of his being deceived does not excuse the
clergyman or justice performing an il
legal marriage, the law simply lays a trap
for the innocent and well-meaning.
Over and above these features, the ca
pacity of the law for being made an in
trumen of persecution is shown in the
illegal arrest and detention of the Flan-
merry woman, simply to assuage the morti-
fed vanity of her new husbands rela-

BAPT|SED At A FUNERAL
Baby Schmale Is Christened
Over the Coffin Of Her
Dead Mother.

In st. Paul's German Evangelical Luth-
eran Church., st. Pauis and Summit ave-
nues, there occurred, yesterday after
noon, a scene seldom witnessed. Two
children were christened over the casket
containing the dead body of the mother
of one of them. This was done in ac-
cordance with the dying request of the
young mother, who, in her white shro,id,
almost seemed to smile approval through
the glass lid of the white casket In which
was Mrs. J~ohannette Schmale, nee Hebel,
wife Of Otto Schmale, of No. 81 Fleet
street, who died from the results Of blood
poisoning on Thursday last. She had
given birth to an infant ON August 8.
AT the double christening over her pail
yesterday this child was christened in the
arms of Mrs. William Milhollandr OF No
Al Central avenue as g~odmother, a sis
ter of the lead woman's husband. This.
too, was at the dying request of the dead
mother, who had promised to act as
godmother to Mrs. Milhollandss child. Mr.
Charles Hebel, of No. 189 Harrison ave-
nue., grandfather of the child. was its
godfather. The other child christened
was that of Mrs. Milholland- Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Sehmale acted as godmother
and godfather for this child.
The dead woman had been married but
eleven months. She and her husband

%WHEELWoMAN's NARROW ESCAPE
She Runs Into an Obstruction. But
Is Not Hnrt.

An accident that might have resulted
very seriously happened last evening to
a female cyclist, IN York street. near
Warren street. The asphalt company had
been fixing the pavement all day long. and
towards evening they stretched two long
wooden horses across the street and hung
two red lights on each horse. This closed
the street to all traffic except the trolley
cars, and the cyclists who were coming
from the ferry did not mind the blockade
of the street but came through in the
centre of the car track. The accident
that occurred last evening was all the
fault of the cyclist. who certainly must
have been looking up to the top Of the
houses along the street instead of looking
where she was riding. She deliberately
ran into one of the horses which was al
most directly under ar electric light. The
force of the collision threw the young
lady from her wheel. and she landed on
her side about ten feet from her wheel
She was not seriously hurt beyond a few
scratches on her right hand and arm, and
after waiting for fifteen minutes to recov-
err from the shock she proceeded on her
Way up York street.

CROSSED BEFORE 4 CAR
Benjamin Family Badly
Damaged in a Collision
Near the Junction.

A disastrous trolley car accident which
resulted in the injury of an entire family,
occurred near The Junction of Grand
street and Communipaw avenue, last
night. 1t was at nine O'Clock. The time
when the crowd at the transfer station
is largest. Nearly one thousand persons
the Grove that gathered to see the sequel
to it. Bernard Benjamin, a g1azier, thir-
ty-nIne years old. Of No. 10 East Twenty
first street, Bayonne, had been with his
family to visit friends in this city. His
family consists of his wife. Dorah. thir-
ty-seven years old. a son, Morris. nine
years old. and a daughter, Julia. five
Years old. The quartette drove to this
city in Benjamin's glaciers wagon, in
which was fitted an extra seat. They
were on their way home, and the wagon
was Just turning into Arlington avenue,
from Grand street. when trolley car No.
SO. of the Bayonne line came down.
Benjamin evidently did not realize his
danger III crossing in front of the car.
There is a very steep grade on Grand
street at that point, and the trolley car
was heavily loaded. The car was going
down the hill at a rapid rate. When the
motorman, Moulten Seeley, saw Ben

was too near the corner, however, and the
brake would not act quickly enough. The
car slowed down somewhat but not
enough to avoid a collision.
Mrs. Benjamin and the children scream
ed when they saw their danger. Benja-
min e~ndeavored to cross ahead of the car.
but could not do so. The car crashed into
the front wheel of the veichle, smashing
he whole front part of the wagon badly.
The occupants We're thrown to the ground
andMbecame mixed up in the debris.
Luckily, the car came to a stendstill
just as it struck the wagon. The force of
the collision badly damaged the front Of
the car and threw the motorman from
his feet.
The screams of the Benjamins drew
hundreds of persons to the scene of the
accident. Dozens of willing hands pulled
the injured ones from beneath the wreck.
Patrolman Henry Manning picked the lit
tie boy up IN his arms and carried him to
Kaiser's saloon at the Junction. Patrol
man Sitter took the little girl to the same
place. Both were badly bruised about
their bodies and were suffering from
fright. The little girl had a bad wound
on the right side of her face. Mrs. Ben
janlin was hurt on her left side and had
a severe cash on her leg. Mr.. Benjamin
was injured worse than any of the other
bruised from head to foot, and had his
back strained SO hat he could not even
sit up. The whole family was taken to
the City Hospital. Benjamin had to be
lifted into the ambulance. Those who
saw the accident say thai 1t was unavoid-
able so far as the trolley car was con-
cerned. No arrests We're made.

ST. PATRICK's BIRTHDAY
The Church Observes. the
Twenty-first Anniversary
of Its Dedication.

The twenty-frst anniversary of the dedi-
cation of st. Patrick's Catholic Church.
at Bramhall and Ocean venue was
celebrated yesterday morning with appro-
pirate exercises. On account of the
warm weather, the rector,the Rev. Father
L. c.. NJ. Carroll, decided not to have any
extensive celebration, and accordingly tHe
services Were very simple. AT half-past
ten, high mass was celebrated, at which
the choir endered a special programme
of music. There viii be no high mass
until September, and during the time be-
tween now and then the members OF the
choir will take a vacation.
AT half-past ten O'Clock yesterday morn
ing Father Carroll delivered q sermon. ar
ter which he told his parishioners some
interesting news in relation to the erec-
ton of a new parish school and club
house. He told them that within a very
short time he would have the work be-
gun on the new structure. which promises
10 be one of the finest of its kind IT. the
State, and which will grace the large site
known as Bramhall Park, directly oppo-
building has been described IN Ihe
News on several occasions. and Father
Carroll told his flock that the work on 1t
would be pushed from the very start. He
explained that not quite enough money
had been secured yet, but felt sure that
within a very short space of time the
building would be swelled sufficiently to
allow the work to proceed.
st. Patrick's Church is one Of the hand
soonest in the State. The first service
was held under the direction of the late
Father Hennessy. whose remains were
inferred in front of the church on Ocean
avenue.
Despite the fact that within the past two
years two parishes, st. Aloysius and All
Saints. nave been formed out of st.
Patriclrs, 1t is still in a most prosperous
condition. Nearly one-half of the PEG
pie left the church to join the two new
parishes. and stil there are about five
thousands souls in the old parish. The
two new parishes ave been very sue
cessfui.
In order to swell the building fund, the
second edition of the garden party will
be held on the evening of September /, 2
and 3. The same committees that We're
in charge of the previous garden party
will have charge.

THE Journal and DR.. stoddard.

On Friday last. some comment appeared
IN this column upon the cowardly and
lbellous persecution which the Evening
Journal was carrying on against the
Rev. DR.. Stoddard. On the same day an
editorial appeared in the yellow sheet Of
the kind which is popularity called a
rcrawi."
1t was intended not exactly to soothe
DR.. stoddard's feelings, but to create the
impression in the minds of people, who
had not watched the controversy closely,
tha he was very much in the wrong and
very rash, and the Journal was letting
him off very easily. on account of his
general standing as a clergyman, and a
man.
this publication was even more cowardly,
more b~lackguardly than the original Of
fence. The Raines Law Hotel f%reauenter

think Dr. Stoddard and the people of this
city very simple, to be imposed upon by
such a pretext of apology. The article

uttered regarding the particular marriage

malice and elaboration once more falsi-
fed DR.. stoddard's position in his recent
sermon on elopements. The journal
says
DR.. stoddard would Of course exercise
the utmost caution before performing a
marriage ceremony himself, and yet this
clandestine marriage was accomplishing
with his assistance, although II possessed
every one of the features he had round
ly denounced.
Absolutely the contrary is the truth.
This marriage had not one of the charac-
t~eristics which DR.. Stoddard denounced;
it belonged in every respect to a class of
marriages which he defended as manly
and open reflections of parental authority.
The marriages which DR.. Stoddard de-
nounced were those which are secretly
contracted, in which generally the couple
live apart for some weeks or months after
the contract, maintaining it's existence a
secret. and then suddenly give the COM
munity a shock by revealing their union. at
a time. perhaps, when it can no longer be
kept a secret.
II would be superfiuous TO point out the

papers the next day. and in which the
young couple at once commenced their
