Ands, pastor Of the Union Methodist
/ church, who is an old and valued friend
Of Rev. DR.. Tiffany. There, in presence
! of q small party, composed Of Dr. van
! Auds's family and three ministers the
/ two who had faithfully loved each other

whose union even fate itself seemed 10
/ have cOnspiTed, Were united in marriage.
/ They ioyfuIiy spoke the vows which
! bound them together for life, and con-
| templated the future with light and hap
py hearts. DR.. Van Anda and other
witnesses of the ceremony were
acquainted with the reasons why II
was desired to keep the marriage
secret for awhile. aud all united in q
pledge of secrecy. After receiving the
CONGRATULATIONS Of those present, LieIi-
tenant Tiffany and bride returned to the
Southern hotel, reaching there about
half.past nine O'Clock. The lieutenant
returned to the arsenal and pursued bis
routine of duty as usual while his bride
remained al the hotel. One week after
the marriage Lieutenant Tiffany was Of
dered to report for duty at Fort Stockton,
on the Mexican border, Immediately.
He departed at once and was accom-
panied as far as Austin, Texas, by his
bride. From that point she returned to
st. Louis, and proceeded at once to her
Earhes's residence in Georgia where she
..ry is. Whether she acquainted her
father with the fact of her clandestine
marriage, and obtained his forgiveness,
or still permits him to believe her
widow is not known. Mrs. Tiffany is
possessed Of considerable means inde-
pendent OF her father. Size has claims
against the government for property
taken and destroyed by SheTmau's army
during the war amounting to thousands
of dollars. These claims are now being
presented with fiatteIing prospects of
success. She commands an influence in
Washington which is valuable in the
prosecution of such claims, and, no
doubt, will recover much Of the money.
Lieutenant Tiffany and his wife are
both members of the Methodist church.
He is still on duty at Fort Stockton,
separated from his beautiful bride by
hundreds of miles. The couple, how
ever, contemplate an early reunion, and
destiny will probably accord to them q
life Of happiness in future, in return for
the misfOTluDes of the past.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
Atchlson (Kansas) Patriot.I
In our dispatches yesterday was a
statement of the private marriage OF
Mrs. Captain WallingfOr0 and Lieuten-
ant Tiffany, OF ST. Louis, short time
ago, and Of the subst guent conduct OF
Che parties, and the veil OF secrecy which
had been thrown around the affair.
There seemed to be quite ar0mance con-
nected with the marriage, the details Of
which the pTying reporters of the st.
J mo- oh to h
tain. 1t is tie province Of the Patriot
to throw little light on this mystery.
Mrs. WslliDgfOrd, alias Mrs. Tiffany,
was in Atchison yesterday, She is well
known among the fast men here, and
also at st. Joseph, Kansas City and
LeavenwOrth, by the name Of "Audrew- |
lima" The fast youpg men of Leaven- |
worth, 6nd Old men fer that matter, will |
recognize the woman with the surname |
of 'COllisr." She was one of 'em, and |
played her little game al along the !
river with great bOidness and success. |
Her husband, Wallingford, got divorce |
from her in Wisconsin, and since thefl |
she mas had seven husbands" |
more or less, as occasion or locality |
required. Her lpst victim seems to |
be Lieutenant Tiffany, Of the army,
aud son of . clergyman of wide fame. |

Washington Dispatch to Chicago Tribune.l
The Sunday Herald prints the follow
ing concerning Mis-. WaIliugford, whose
alliance with a son OF Chicago clergy
man has created sensation: "Her
Uelieship belongs in very doubtful cir
cles, for she is well known to the police
here, through several black mailing
Operat OIs, in one Of which a prominent
avunueHbusiness man figured. She was
taken on one occasion to Baltimore by
one cf our detectives, TO answer charge
of blackmailing there. The story as to
her figuring at the Centennial tea. party
was probably told by herselfin her boast
ing moods. The detective force tell a
number of curious stories about her
operations in Washington before the
place became too hot to hold her."
