SENATOR BLA1NE,s NIECE.
No Sensational Secrecy about Her Recent
Marriage.

Marriage.
Pittsburgh LEADER
A special telegram to the New York Time
from correspondent in Pittsburgh gave
sensational account of the marriage between
o. j. Salisbury and Miss Maggie B. Walker
niece of Senator James g. Blaine. TIL,
dispatch was sent on the Oath, and it stated
that the lady had been visiting friends il
this city for three months past, and tina
Mr.. Salisbury and a party of friends
had arrived at the MonOngaheli
house on Wednesday, and that the party had
repaired to the Episcopal residence on Grant
street, where the twain was made one by
Father Kearney, after which the happy couple
had taken dinner at the Monongahela house,
and had then left on tour of the Eastern
cities. The correspondent then proceeded to
impart the information that the marriage
had been very secret on account of the
Catholic question, in which the Blaine family
was involved. He also stated that the BRIDES
relatives lived at Elizabeth.
A Leader reporter called at the episcopal
residence yesterday afternoon to inquire into
the affair. Father Kearney, the priest who
performed the ceremony, was at the confess
sional and could not be seen at that time,
but Father Reardon was observed walking
in the grounds, and the scribe preached the
| subject to him. Father Reardon read the
article from the Times, and then smiled and
said that it seemed to him that the cores
pondent wanted to make the affair appear
very sensational, and claim great deal of
credit for himself in bringing the matter to
light. He said there had been no attempt
to keep the affair a secret, and
there was no reason why it
ho ho
ties only wished to avoid DESTINATIONS dis
groom q Protestant. The bride has not
been visiting friends here, but has been stop
ping at the Monongahela house, and came
here for the benefit of her health, and has
for some time past been under the care of
DR.. King, and, instead of staying at the ho-
tel, they left on the morning train. As to
the Catholic question in the Blaine family,
Father Reardon said that there was no get
ting out of it-Blaine is q Catholic or should
be, and has a ni5ce in convent.
LATER.-Father Kearney was spoken to
about the matter at late hour last night,
and reiterated the statement of Father Rear
don to the effect that there was no secrecy in
eral persons who were present. Among them
WIZ 1AA' UAAO 0A4N LAO "AAO1 4AA1s
Ewing, DR.. King, Mrs. Penniman, of Eliza
beth, aunt of the bride, and others to the
number of thirty, all of whom were invited
guests. Father Kearney also stated that the
bride was Catholic, but the groom was not.
He said that althoug b Senator Blaine was not
acting like Catholic, he should be one from
his education, as his father and mother
were both of that belief. The reverend
father also stated that there were two nieces
of Senator Blaine, sisters of the bride, who
had entered the st. Mary's convent here,
and that one of them is dead and the other
Is now in convent at Wilkesbarre. Father
Kearney has known of the intended marriage
for several weeks. The immediate family of
Miss Walker is located in the West, although
she has some relatives living in Elizabeth.
Father Kearney refused to give the full
names of the two ladies who had entered the
convent, assigning as his reason that neither
the church nor the ladies themselves desired
to have their names paraded before the public.
