HONEYMOON HAPPINESS.
THE BRIDAL COUPLES COT IN
THE MOUNTAINS.


Floral Decorations.
DEER PARK, MD, June 3.-President
Cleveland and his BRIDE arrived here at
O'CLOCK this morning and are domiciied
in one of the cottages attached TO the
hotel. There are but few persons here,
as there was no knowledge that the bridal
party would come. President and Mrs.
Cleveland are sojourninS very quietly.
A large influx of visitors is looked for as
soon as it is known that the newly
welded couple are here,
ARRIVING IN THE RAIN.
The run from Washington was made in
about six hours, and just at daybreak
this morning the train stopped at point
about 100 yards from the station and in
front of the main drive. In the special
car attached 10 the train were John w.
Davis, President Garrett's assistant, and
Charles Selden, Superintendent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company.
Two carriages sent from Washington
were in waiting when the party arrived,
and drizzllns rain was falling as the
President and Mrs. Cleveland left their
car. The drive to the cottage occupied
but few minutes, and until. after noon
there was no sign of either bride or groom.
sPHYEx-LIKE DETECTIVES.
The house is guarded by twelve detec-
tives, who are required to know nothing,
and the admOnitiOn is hardly necessary,
as not "a word will they utter on any sub
ject. Mr.. Davis said that the President
had strictly enjoined secresy before he
would consent TO come here, and the COM
pany had tried to give HIM as much
privacy as possible. He will not even re-
ceiVe mail and does not Intend to see any
one during his stay. He Will certainly
remain here until Saturday, and probably
until Monday. The tram on which he
came is still here at his service in case he
should take notion to leave at any time.
METHODIsTs WANT TO KISS THE BRIDE.
The West Virginia Methodist Episcopal
Conference, which has been in session
here for several days, passed resolution
appointing a committee of five TO wait on
the President and ask for an interview.
Some one suggested that the committee
be instructed to congratulate and kiss the
| bride. A member suggested that as Ste
| phen B. Elkins had arranged for the pri-
! vacy OF the Presidential party, his wishes
should be respected; but another said
| that as Mr.. Eikins was not friendly to Mr..
| Cleveland during the campaign, he should
| have no weight with Democrats. Quite
/
was finally appointed and request for
an interview was sent by special messen-
! ger, but up to 7 O'Clock the conference had
not been hOnOred by reply.
ON THE MOUNTAIN TOPS.
The place which has been selected for
! the Presidential honeymoon is on the
! crest Of the Alleghanies. The house Is
| what is known as the cottage of eX-Sena-
tor Henry Davis, of West Virginia. Deer
| Park is 5000 feet above the sea. The
| Davis cottage is situated about one-half
mile east of the Deer Park Hotel in the
midst of a group Of cottages, among
which those of Harrison Garrett, Miss
| Mary Garrett, daughter OF the late John
| w. Garrett, and Stephen Elkins are
most conspicuous. 1t is large twO-stOry
! frame house, constructed especially by
| the owner for the use of his family in
summer.
IN THE CENTRE OF A GROVE.
! It is in the centre of a grove and is
| upon one of the finest driveways, forty
miles of which have recently been Goa
structed through the grove and park.
| The President and his bride will find
abundant use for the horses which his
friends have provided for him in this
mountain retreat. The drives are a
| charming feature of the place, the roads
being particularly well constructed, and
as smooth and even, almost, as race
tracks. The President will not be an
moved by the presence Of guests at the ho-
tel at Deer Park aud Oakland, as those
hotels are not opened until later In June.
