General Harney's Marriage.
HISTORY AND PEDIGREE OF THE BRIDE OF THE AGKI

despatch from St Louis furnishes Interesting
Information regarding the lady married by General
Harvey In that city on Thursday. One OF the most
Interesting points about this wedding Is the fact
that the bride claims 10 be one OF the four living
descendants OF the great protector, oliver Crom-
well. She was born In Baltimore IN 1876, her name
being Mary Cromwell The family papers are all
at present stored In Washington, and include
mouldy old pedigrees, old letters, and old docu-
ments, which leaves little doubt In the minds or
those who have seen them that the claim is well
founded. The descent runs thus: Oliver Cromwell
was born In l599 and 6ied Ia 1885, having had four
sons-Robert, who died unmarried; Oliver, who was
killed Ia battle In 164S; Richard, who succeeded his
father as lord protector; and the youngest son,
Henry, who was born January 20, 1923, and who
died IN 1914 This gentleman had two sons, Oliver
and Henry. The latter's son, Thomas, was born I'm
the grandfather OF Mrs Harney. Mrs Hsrney has
one daughter, Miss Mary St Cyr, who is at present
at the Sacred Heart convent at Maryv1lle She has
one sister living In St Louis and relatives I'm Bairi
more and Washington.
Mrs Mary E ST. Cyr, the bride. had been Gen.
Harney's housekeeper for the past six years, and
acted also as his secretary and manager OF his great

1t Is a source Of much satisfaction to all con-

although no formal announcement has been made
to that effect. 1t is understood that the purpose
to advance any charges Of fraud has been aban-

Is coupled, however, with the qualification that
contingencies may yet come in which it Will be
deemed expedient to report evidences OF fraud.
The democratic committee this morning, after once

democratic figures.

THE PROSPECTIVE RUSH SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEGUN.
Recently the correspondents of different news
papers have obtained from the Post Office depart
ment lists giving the dates when the terms of post
masters in most Of the northern states expire. The
Post Office officials inclined to think that this is
the beginning of the rush OF which they had some
experience when Gen. Grant succeeded Andrew
johnson. Immense numbers OF people visited the
department for the purpose OF gaining information
In regard to the various post offices and the places
connected with them In connection with this
prospective demand for office from the outside an
old official recalls the circumstance that when the
republicans came into power In 1861 there were but
few discharges made for the reason that 1t was
found Impossible TO carry the public business
without the experience OF those who held the
Offices AL who took the oath OF allegiance were
retained and many OF them are still In Office The
conclusion reached by this gentleman is that II the
democrats contemplate a general sweep of the
offices they Will have to take some time In order to
initiate the men.
