cord Needed to Enable
Him to Marry.

Louis Brehn Sr., of No. 27 Franklin
street; his wife and Mrs. Menche. Of No
TIA Franklin street, the midwife who as
sisted in bringing Louis Brehm, Jr., into
the world ON March 27, 1867, were all at
the meeting of the County Board of
Health yesterday afternoon, to explain
why the return Of Louis. Jr.'s birth was
not made to the Board until he had at
tanned the age of about thirty-two years
The midwife explained that the boys
birth antedated the creation of the
Board and consequently she could mot
make any return. About two weeks ago
she made the return at the request of
Mr. and Mrs. Brehm.
Mr. Brehm stated that his son is in
Paris and is about to be married. Under
the French law a certificate of birth IS
needed to show the legitimacy of the
child, and it was for the purpose Of get
ting certificate that the belated return
was made The explanation was salts
factory and Clerk Rooney will furnish
Mr.. Brehm with an official transcript OF
the record, so that he can forward it to
his son IN Paris.
Clerk Rooney reported that ne nad re-
ceived a birth return from Mrs. Chris
tine Meyers, of No. 11S Halliday street,
and that Mrs. Meyers is not registered as
a midwife. Counsellor Winfield will COM
municate with Mrs. Meyers and inform
her that she must be registered.
Inspector Weastell reported fayorably
on the application of three Secaucus
dairymen for permits to keep cows anu
the permits were granted.
Counsellor Winfield reported that he
had written to the State Board of Health
about q drain running under Adam
Dietz's house, in West Hoboken. of which
Dietz had complained several times. His
neIghbors empty their sewage into the
drain and create a nuisance which IS
highly detrimental to the health of Dietz
and his family The State Board was
asked to interfere because 1t could.
through the Court of Chancery, compel
the authorities of West Hoboken to build
a sewer but it has not paid any attention
to the matter. Mr.. Winfield was instruct
ed TO write one more letter to the Board
Mr. Winfield also reported that in the
matter of Jacob Leulys complaint
AGAINST Israel Schwartz's COW stable, on
the boulevard he had prosecuted
schwartz and caused him to be
fined $50 for maintaining nuisance.
schwartz is now willing to abandon the
stable If the fine is renftted. Nothing
can be done about It as the Board has no
power to remit the fine. Inspector Weas-
tell reported that David Cantor, who was
fined s101 for running a tat srenderiilg
place in Secaucus, without the proper ap-
pliances, was putting them in as quick
ly as possible, and would have everything
in good condition in two or three weeks
The Inspector recommended that IL
cense be granted to Cantor. The Board
decided not to grant IL until all the ap-
plianceS are put in.

GIRL QUEEN NERVOUS.
rBy cable to The Associated Press. ]


AMSTERDAM, Sept. Z, 1S9S-About fifty
thousand working people, with barred
heads, gathered on the Dam Platz this
morning under scorching sun, waiting
to catch glimpse of the young Queen
of Hollond. The Sovereign, however,
sent an aide-de-camp to the place with
the request that the spectators resume
wearing their hats. This thoughtfulness
on the part of the Queen was greatly
appreciated by the immense crowd and
evoked tremendous cheering from the
waiting multitude.
The Queen subsequently listened 10 the
singing Of a grand chorus by TWO thou-
sand scholars. She appeared nervous and
unstrung, and had requested that her sub
jects refrain from cheering. The people
respected the young Queens wish 10 the
Letter and when the singing by the selol-
ars had ended an absolute silence pre-
vailed which was more impressive than
the mighty cheers which had previously
been given.
In spite of the orders that no members
of royal families or of the nobility OF any
other country than Holland be admitted
to the coronation ceremonies, Lord hose

Rthschild's yacht Roma, attended incoS-

as in other cases, but the Court of Err

plication to be made to the Chancellor,
the same as heretofore. The rule was
adopted at the November term, 1895. It
provides that in criminal cases, punish

The rule also provides that there must

THE EVICTION OF SPAIN
Will Begin on the Arrival Of
the Commission at
Havana.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z. 1s9s.-With the
arrival of the Cuban Military Commits
sion at Havana, within the next few
DAYS. the real work of terminating
Spanish rule in the island will begin.
1t is realized that many difficulties will
confront the Commission in working
out the details of Spanish evacuation.
The only point of agreement from which
both sides start is the clause sof the
peace protocol providing for the i'm
mediate evacuation of Cuba and other
Spanish West Indian possessions by the
Spanish forces. But the word "im-
mediate'' is a relative term and it re-
mains to be determined just when the
actual embarkation of the Spanish forces
will begin and under what circumstances
the departure will be conducted.
In some quarters 1t is felt that If the
American Commissioners conflne the dis
cussion to the one essential question Of
evacuation. their work can be concluded
m two weeks. In other quarters it is
felt that Spanish procrastination will lead
to the opening up of many incidental
questions. each leading to lengthy con-
troversy and division. with reference to
Madrid and Washington for instructions,
that the dctHat stlilHS u the spanish
forces from Havana will not begin be-
fore next December or later.
There are said to be about 100000 Span
isl troops scattered through Cuba. Most
of these are In the Western Provinces,
ysniyl about 10000 remaining in the Eastern
Provinces Of Puerto Principe and Santi-
age. For that reason it is being urged
ffaat the evacuation by the Spanish
should begin at the East end Of the
island working westward until Havana
md no western end are included. In
;sartiago Province orsly 5000 Spanish
troops are left, at Holguin and Manzan-
ne. IN Puerto Principe, next west Of
5al1tiago only about 1900 are at Nueyit-
All ana Puerto Principe. BY getting these
