ITS FEARFUL FLAWS. A Marriage License Law Full of Op portunities for Evasion. THE CHANCE Ml A THUG TO WORK And the Clear Invitation to the Prospective Bride to be Absent. ' KOT COlirULSOEY. FOE ESOCH AEDEX According to Register Connor the mar riage license law does not so much need amendment, in the matter and manner sug gested by Legislator Hall, of Mercer, as iu some other particulars. Mr. Connor says it is to loosely drawn as to permit ot two con structions, and he puts the one on it, when parties wish it, that dis penses with the prospective bride's presence, though Rccistcr Hocrr made both come to the center. Mr. Connor says that, while the word "parties" is used, there is nothing in the act that compels both bride and groom to apply, and he dis penses with the bride's attendance where the parties agree to produce evidence satis factory that they are fit subjects ior the connubial lasso. He states that the Register of Westmore land county has scruples that cause consid erable expense to the blissful couple at times, such as hiring a livery rig to so to the residence of the woman's parents or guardians, and of course ihe contracting parties foot the bill. a seniors defect indeed. Mr. Connor calls attention to a defect in the law, by which it is possible for the meanest tough in the county to procure a license granting him permission to matry one of the best women in it, and she be pow erless to prevent publication of the scandal. He also calls attention to a delect in the marriage law of 1810. Under it, if a pair marry aud the man disappear, and there is a rumor of his death, the woman may marry again without being subject to penalty; but, should he turn up again subsequently, the second husband is obliged to vacate. Take a case in point: A man left his wife in England, and, after long waiting, she beard he was drowned. Alter an unsuccessful search in this country, she gave him np for dead. A man wished to marry her, and she was inclined that wav herself. She could not swear that her husband was dead, and lawyers told her there was no legal impediment. But Mr. Connor says that, under this new law, there does not seem to he permission for her to marry. ALL TIIE ACT HAS TO SAY on the matter is that the Clerk of the Court thall inquire relative to the legality of the marriage. A man needn't be an Enoch Arden unless he wishes to. There teems to be a popular conviction that it is as hard to draw a younglady's age from her as to ''draw out Leviathan with a hook:" but Mr. Connor's experience dis nroves the belief. He says it is painful to listen to some girls swear they are 21 years of age when the most super ficial observer can see they are several years younger, and this.hc says, is of fre quent occurrence. It is said that many Massachusetts women lost their voles a few weeks ago rather than swear to their ages; hut marriage seems to be aj-tronger induce ment to make one of the greatest sacrifices a woman knows, than the temptation to vote, even in Massachusetts. A CARRIER BO!' HURT. Face and Head Torn br Ibc Terror of News Agents, Ferocious Dogs. Clarence Saxtoa is The Dispatch agent at Edgeworth, and a well-thought-of yonng man, by the way. Early Saturday morning he became involved in a discussion with that terror of all newspaper deliverers, dogs. He was badly cut and scratched about the face and head, and, according to the story of Mr. Clapp, of the firm of Hunt & Clapp, lie screamed terribly and they were obliged to drive the dogs away. Mr. Clapp does not'think the dogs reallv ferocious, as the boy playR with them every day, and besides they are of the gentle St. Bernard and shepherd breeds. Neverthe less the boy's scratched and torn face and scalp bear testimony to their claws, if not their teeth. For a long while a collie dog on Aiken avenue was a menace to late or early passers by, bui he was finally placed where all lerocious dogs belong, in a kennel.
