TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED.
Engaged Couple From Boston Found
Virginia Law Barred Them.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, August 5-Late yester.
day afternoon refined young man app
peared at the Norfolk clerks ONCE and
asked for marriage license to wed q
young lady from Boston. whose age was
only nineteen years. The clerk told him
that he would have to first secure the
consent of the young ladys parents. and
the applicant departed. In e few minutes
he was back again. this time accompanied
by the girls father who gave his consent
to the marriage. AS the license was about
to be issued the father asked II it was all
right for the groom elect to be married
here without the consent of his mother.
While only nineteen years old. The clerk
said that under such circumstances the
mothers consent would have to be secured
hrst- Then there can be no marriage"
SAID the father, who. going into details.
made very interesting explanation The
tather and his family with the young
groom elect left Boston last week for q
snort summer trip on the Merchants and
Miners line to Virginia and Maryland.
The young couple were engaged to be
married, and the wedding was set for the
1all the people of the groom elect being
entirely willing for the marriage.
The couple had no idea of being married
away from home when they left. but upon
their arrival here from Baltimore on their
return yesterday, they concluded that they
would like the novelty of being married
III dllO upon consulting the parents
OF the young lady the former readily agreed
to the marriage. When the father learned
at the clerks office that 1t was not law
full for a minor to marry in this state,
without the consent of his parents. he said
that he was very sorry the young people
would have to be disappointed but that
as IT was they could not get a license
In Norfolk and he would have to forbid any
further attempt to obtain a permit in Viz.
ginia. as the youths mother was in Bos-
ton, from where her consent could not be
obtained before they had to leave for
home. and there could under no circum-
stance be a wedding at any time II an
untruth had to be told or even acted.
The young man in the case could easily
have passed for twenty-one years. and
up to the time the girls father had raised
the point about the youths age nothing
had even been suspected at the clerks
office. The party all left the city for
Boston last night. the young couple. 1t
may be said, being very much disappointed,
Names were not asked while the parties
were at the clerks Office yesterday.

Alley is q Public One,

In the matter Of cleaning the alley in
the rear of 61b to $40 Sheridan street north
west there has been controversy between
the health department and the street clean
ing department as to which should under
take the work. Superintendent Stutler con-
tended that the alley was not a public one
and that consequently he could not require
the cleaning contractor to enter it. He
suggested that the health department re-
Quire those who placed refuse in the alley
to abate the nuisance. The matter was
eventually referred to the surveyor, and
he has returned the papers with the state
ment that the alley Is a public alley ac-
cording to the records Of his Office.
