assertion the reporter investigated the
matter still further. A Washington dis
patch was shown to friend of Mr.. Bissell
and Mr.. Cleveland. The dispatch reports
that Mr.. Bissel arranged for the presidential
train. The gentleman says:
Mi. Blsseli has talked very little on the sub
ject to his friends and we have all respected
his wishes l do not believe that report that
the wedding will take place i'll New York city
or any other city. Mrs. Folsom and her
daughter can come on the Erie railroad to
Alden, buying tickets for Buffalo Alden is
twenty miles away and it is six to Folsomdale
The presidents special could be so arranged
as to meet the express train on the Erie at
Utica and both could go from there to Alsen
and drive to Folsomdale. There would be no
trouble about the minister
but would there be no publicity
~ think not, if the plans were as carefully
executed as planned 1t might be difficult to
conceal Miss Folsom's departure from the
New York reporters, but the president could
manage to get out of Washington with less
trouble. A few dollars given to the
trainmen would keep them still and the Of
ficials would not talk. The train could be
started from the freight yards and the an
nouncement made after the presidents alb
sence was discovered that he had gone up the
Potomac fishing If they worked this odge
as [ think they will, the public would not know
about the marriage for a couple of days at
least. Folsomdale is difficult of access,
and the utmost quietude would be the
luck OF the bridal party. The only teams
procurable at Alden are owned by relatives
of the Folsoms and the road is so devious
that man could not get there the first time
without guide. The time from Attica over
the road is thirteen miles. There is hardly
another place in the state, outside of the
Adironack mountains where the presidential
party could better hide.
THERE WILL BE A WEDDING.
Reports telegraphed from this city that
there will be no wedding can be positively
denied. A judge of the supreme court
Justice Childs, said:
Mr.. Cleveland would have positively de-
in them Some very silly and painful gossip
has been printed about the event, and Mr..
Cleveland would have stopped it if there had
been no truth in it.
Justice Corbill, who was present, said
that while he placed no great faith in the
statement that there would be no wedding,
yet he believed the theory of Judge Childs.
1t is believed that the president will refuse
to commit himself concerning this topic up
to the day of the wedding. Ii he should
pursue that policy, the marriage will take
place in secret and all facts
relating to it be suppressed. The
Cunarder Umbria is now supposed to be
the steamship that is carrying Miss Folsom
to the land that her future lord rules. There
are said to be several reasons why the Fol-
som family would embark on the Umbria.
She is one of the fleetest vessels that crosses
the Atlantic, among her passengers are a
number of well known Washington society
people, and also she will arrive on Sunday
when the party could proceed quietly to
the Grand Central depot without attracting
attention.
A SOCIETY LADY's OPINION.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Suns
Washington correspondent has been inter-
viewing Washington society ladies as to
their opinions regarding the presidents mar
rage. He says the wife of prominent ex-
official sums up the general opinion by say
ing that the president had no idea of
marrying when he came to Wash
ington, but finds it necessary
to have lady at the head of the White
House, because he has quarreled with Miss
Cleveland about her indiScreet book and
her temperance notions, and has also made
himself very unpopular in society by his
indifference to the conyentionalitieS, not to
saw want of tact
