M ; M. • • • ■ i 'i * AINT JE GIDDY? 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. — Cincintati Enquirer.
