Fish's Secret Marriage.
New YORK, May 8th.-Touching the
SalHe Reber case there is still much that is
hidden. A Cleveland, Ohio, special to the
Herdla says: Fish, the millionaire Presi-
dent Of the Marine Bank, when his troubles
first began, secretly married her, the mar
riage to remain secret till he was free again.
His troubles, which at first appeared tenn
porary, became more harrassing as time
went by, and she insisted upon the stipula-
ton. and did up to the hour of her death,
which was as sudden and unexpected
to her friends as it was to herself.
The issue OF the marriage to Fish
was q daughter born February oath.
at Carlstadt, y. J., and which now
| is with the friends Of Fish, under his care
and direction Her marriage to Fish has
| been known to her family since last sum-
mar, but for reasons stated already, which
were satisfactory alike to her and to them
| it was never made public, and has not been
| since her death, because of the attendant
| circumstances and of her expressed re-
| quest to that effect. In justice to Fish,
| correspondent SAYS that he has been anx-
! ious from the first to reveal the marriage.
and to be absoived by his family from Sc
crecy. This permission will be given TO-
| day. Dr. Phelps of Carlsbad says: " ! had
made out my certificate OF birth in the
usual way, taking the mothers statement,
as is customary in all cases. | knew that
was dealing with lady of culture and re-
! iinement, and appreciated her intention and
utSIie lp keep IitI LltNLLlt from ltT mother
! She told me that her name was Nellie
Lang, and that Lang was the father of her
child. Ny course in the matter was per-
| teCtly plain, as ! understood there was ii
marriage contract Although the relatives
Of deceased were at first inclined to con-
slider the child Legitimate, they can pro-
| duCe thar marriage contract if they choose
and thus clear the mothers character"
Fish, being interviewed in the Jail yester-
| day, said: She was q woman in whom !
| had taken interest and beiriended" He
had little to say on the subject. Fish re-
ceiyed a number of callers Yesterday and
spent much time in conversation with
them. 1t was observed that during these
interviews the door Of his cell was tightly
| closed, and that after one or two of his
visitors left he looked flushed and excited.
The Army Of the Potomac.
PHILADELPHIA, May Sth. - The Press
Baltimore special, dated the 7th, SAYS The
Society of the Army of the Potomac has
disbanded for another year. Only two
events marred the reunion-one was the
objection made to the reception of Confed
| crate veterans, and the other when General
Pratt dragged the Mcclellan question into
his oration. The Baltimoreans will have
| the fireworks all to themselves tomorrow
night. At the banquet this evening the
the best of good feeling prevailed,
and many ex-Contederate soldiers were
present. Colonel Charles Marshall, of
) Lees staff replied to the toast 'The Bench
and the Bar ut was an eloquent ques-
ton, this question for which the war was
fought" said he. The bench had gwen
opinions on it, the bar had argued both
sides oft, and then the people took it in
their hands and settled it. Army of the
Potomac" cried the learned Virginian,
you settled it, we subscribed to it, and woe
to the man who dares to question it, [Tu-
muituous cheering followed, the ladies in
the galleries waving their fans.l Unstinted

marked portion of the Southerner's deliv-
cries. Every mention of the old command
