MARRIAGE STATISTICS
FOR THE PAST YEAR
Some Interesting information Has
Been Cleaned from the Records.

A study of the marriage records
in the office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county reveals
some interesting facts and readily places
Oakland at the head of the Gretna
Greens of Maryland and West Virginia.
An examination of the records above
referred to shows that during the year
just closed licenses We're granted 487
couples to contract in marriage; six
couples were refused licenses and two
licenses were returned unused.
West Virginia furnished the greater
number of couples, the records showing
that of the total number granted that
State furnished 321; Maryland came
second with 1873 couples; Pennsylvania
third with "a couples; Ohio furnished
seven couples, whilst Old Virginia con-
tributed two couples. In many cases
the husband and wife came from differ
ent states in and making up the record
this has not be en- taken into consideration
both the man and woman in the case
being credited to the State from which
the man hailed.
Another phase of the record is that
licenses were granted fifteen men who
had been divorced. Four women also
figure in the records as Divorces.
There were thirty four widowers who
secured licenses and fifteen widows.
In only two cases did widowers marry
widows.
In the returns made by the ministers
who performed the marriage ceremonies
during the past year it appears that
twenty have not been flied. According
to the certificates filed, however, the
ministers in Oakland performed nearly
so per cent. of the marriage ceremonies.
Rev. j. B. Workman, of the NJ E..
church, stands first with ITO weddings
to his credit. Rev. E. Manages, Of the
Lutheran church, comes second with a
total of 1873 ceremonies. Rev. John M
: Davis otficiated at twenty weddings,
d Rev. L. B Henslay. of the Presby-
~ rian church, married eleven couples.
Rev. Cornell, of the Catholic chucrh,
had five ceremonies, and Rev. r. B.
Ward had three. Certificates filed
shows that forty other ministers locat-
ed in different sections of the county
had performed from one to eight cere-
monies.

the 36 years of CARROTS being as
county, no one death has caused more
universal or sincere expressions of re-.
greet than that of this widely known and
highly esteemed conservator . of the
law. Mr.. Gender was so modest and
unassuming, holding with such unrelax-
ing grasp the light of his high. ATTAIN
ments ever under bushel that but few
beyond the circle of his most intimate
friends understood either the wealth or
the range of his classically ulured and
finely poised mind, or how that mind
had been enriched by both Ameri-
can and English legal Jurisprudence.
To an analytical training in his pro-
fession he added traits of such unim-
peachable virtues and character as to
make him Justice of exceptionable
usefulness and clothed his decisions with
a confidence as satisfactory to the liti-
giant as when handed down by the Cir
cult Court.
In this death the administration of
justice in Garrett suffers an irrepara-
bic loss. With Mr. Gender, the con-
seriousness of an upright and stainless
life, consecrated to duty, and peaceful
fellowship with all men entitled him to
approach without dread the gateway of
Eternity satisfied that

CAUGHT WITH DECOY
LETTERS ON HIS PERSON
Roy Powell. Western Maryland Mail
Clerk, Arrested on Serious Charge.

Roy Powell, of Gormania, W. Va,
a railway mail clerk, running between
Cumberland and Durbin on the Western
Maryland Railroad, was placed under
arrest at the Gun -rland post Office
Sunday night, shortly or the arrival
Of the evening Western l1rvland rail-
road train in Cumberland, G. ~ged with
stealing letters containing mon +, which
charge he admitted to be true after the
marked money and an unopened decoy
letter had been found on his person.
The arrest was made by Police Ser
geant Steepe at the direction of Pos al
Inspectors J. c. Rooms and James 3.
Robertson, of Washington, who were
detailed to work on the case.
Numerous complaints from Cumber-
land merchants, wholesale dealers Of
that vicinity and dealers along the line
Of the railroad had been filed with the
postoffice department, charging that
someone was lifting lie tiers containing
money. For several weeks the in
spectors had been on the case when
they came to the conclusion that Powell
was the guilty man. Sunday Inspectors
Rooms and Robertson went up the West
ern Maryland railroad, and Inspector
Rooms mailed a decoy letter at Davis,
w. Va, while Mr.. Robertson handed
in similar letter at Dobbin, W. Va
Both letters contained orders for whis-
key from the firm of John j. Stump &
| Co., which firm has suffered greatly
from Powell's stealing, and with the
marked money for same were enclosed
in one of the John J. Stump & Co. ad-
dressed envelopes.
Upon the arrival of the train here the
inspectors hurriedly went through the
mail sacks and found the decoy letters
addressed to the above named firm miss
ing. Going to the postoftice the inspec-
tors waited for Powell to turn his
mail, including registered letters, and
after he had "signed in" Powell was
requested to step into the room of Post
master William Pearre, where in the
presence of the two inspectors and AS
sistant Postmaster George C. Shuck,
the two decOy letters were found on
Powell, one of which had been opened
and the marked money taken there
from. Powell stated that he had in
tended putting the unopened letter in
the mail, but that he forgot he had
placed it in his pocket after closing the
mail pouch. He made no attempt
whatever to deny his guilt, but acknowl-
edged that he had been rifling the let
ters and destroying same after taking
out the money.
He was at once turned oyer to Ser
geant Steepe who conducted Powell to
a cell in the police station. He will
likely be given preliminary hearing
today before United States Commits
sioner Thomas j. Anderson and held
for the action of the federal grand jury
to be convened here under Judge Nor
ris If held and unable to give the nee
essary bail, Powell will very likely be
the first prisoner confined in the cells in
the federal building, as it is presumed
that in those quarters Deputy U. S.
Marshal Jacob George will place him.
Powell has a wife residing at Cor
mania. Cumberland News.
