Gen. Cassius Clay, aged 84 We s;
a Fifteen Year old Girl ;
j
SHE WAS AN ORPHAN.
Her Mother was Killed in a Rail
road Accident and Gen.
Clay Reared the Girl,
and Finally Married
Her.
Lex ngton, Ky., November 11. —
Whitehall, the estate of General
Cassius M. Clay, is the point to
which all eyes are turned today,
and much speculation is indulged
in as to the events which have
transpired within the walls of that
historical old mansion within the
past forty-eight hours. Nothing can
be learned of the reported mar
riage of General Clay and pretty
Miss Dora Richardson, the slight
fifieen-year-old daughter of parents
now' dead.
Since the general suddenly ap
peared in Richmond on Saturday
and secured a licene to marry the
girl not a word has been heard
from Whitehall save that the cere
mony has taken place, and the
reason that Whitehall and the gen
eral and his girl-bride are shut off
from the world is that the old
warhorse has posted armed picket
around his estate, and the onlv
means of gaining admittance to
Whitehall is to give the counter
sign and pass the cordon of pick
ets.
The videttes are ever on ihe aler t
The relatives of General Clay are
expected to raise a big row and at
tempt to prevent the marriage if it
has not y«t been solemnized, but
those who know the old general
mid his stubborn character aver
that all the soldiers in the United
States army can’t break off the
match-
* Those in from the country sur-
rounding Wbitehal’, state that the
general has become very erratic of
late and is in constant fear that be
will be killed, and in order to pre
veut the supposed enemies from
surprising him he has picketed bis
entire estate, and Whitehall to
night is an old fortress.
Inorder to tear the girlbride
from the arms of the old soldier
those who oppose the marriage
must first pass the cordon of pick
ets, and then meet the memorable
dirk with which the general once
proved his expertness in killing
Samuel M. Brown with twelve
strokes in a half minute’s time.
It is undestood thac the general
engaged County Judge Chenault,
of Madinson county to perform
the ceremony on Saturday, but
Judge Chenault could not leave
Richmond, and it is impossible to
learn whether the general has yet
married Miss Richardson or not.
No one has visited the place since
Friday and it is removed from s -
ciety and the outer world as com
pletely as if it were located on an
island in mid-ocean. Hon. Cassius
M. Clay, Jr., a candidate for the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Kentucky and president of
the last constitutional convention,
is a eon of General Clay. He is at
his farm in Bourbon county, audit
is not known what steps he will
take to prevent the marriage.
• It seems that General Clav,
whose heart has seemed turned to
stone since the loss of his wife
years ago. first met the girl he has
procured a license to marry near
Valley View a few hours after the
death of her mother. Mrs. Rich
ardson was killed in a railroad ac
cident near Valiev View and Gen
eral Clay, who was at the station,
was a witness to the intense grief
of the girl who was made an or
phan by the aceidont.
The tears of the child softened
the heart of General Clay in away
that all the coquettes and charms
of the belles of the Madison had
failed to accomplish during a score
or more of years, and soon the
mere strip of a girl awakened in
the breast of the old warhorse a
passion which age had only mel
lowed. and yesterday when he ap
peared in Richmond his love for
Miss Richardson had rejuvenated
the veteran of four score and four
years in such away that he declar
ed that he had, like Ponce de Leon
found the spring of youth.
LIVES ON MT. AUBURN
And Runs For Congress in Ala
bama Does Wm. F. Aldrich.
Precinct A of the Twenty seventh
Ward is remarkable for many pol
itical distinctions as weil as the
prerogative of not having a single
saloon within its boundary lines.
At the (last election there were
three candidates tor Congress from
that piecinct. Hon. Charles Taft»
Judge Hiram D. Peck both living
there, aud so does the late Prohi
bition candidate for Congress,
Samuel B. Wells. But there was
still a fourth candidate for Con
gress, Mr. Wm. F. Aldri :b,who
was on the Republican ticket in
the Birmingham (Ala) District,
and although defeated, h a signifi
ed hie intention of contesting the
election.
Mr. Aldrich’s family—wife and
children—live at present in that
same precinct, and they have lived
on Mt. Auburn for the past 15
years. He and his partner, Colonel
Cable, Secretary of the Loyal Le
gian, whose family also reside on
Mt. Auburn, are largely interest
ed in the iron induries of Birming
ham, and they both come home
quite frequently to enjoy the do
mestic fireside. The many friends
of Mr. Aldrich cannot understand
how he can run for Congress in
Alabama and have his home on Mt
Auburn. They claim that this
will cut quite a figure in the elec
tion contest, as Mr. Aldrich could
not have been legally elected. —
