sell, of Buffalo, President Cleveland's
former law partner, called upon Miss
Folsom, at the Gilsey House, at noon to-
day, and spent half an hour in conversa-
ton with her. He said he should ac-
company Miss Folsom and her mother to
Washington this evening. He said Pres
ident Cleveland and his bride would soon
take a trip to Europe. The date of their
departure. however, he could not say.
1t was his intention, he said, to accom-
pany them abroad. The trip will proba-
bly, be made, he added, Just after con-
gress adjourns. Mr.. Bissell and Mr..
Benjamin Folsom left the hotel about
1870 O'Clock.
At | O'Clock Miss Folsom Was alone
with her mother and busy with her cor
respondence. Since her arrival in this
city she has received a heavy mail, and
not a few letters from cranks. This morn
ing's mail brought her letter from a man
in Cleveland, O, signing himself j. Mar
tin, a friend Of the laboring class. He
wanted to know if she would teach her hus-
band to study the amelioration of the SUI
teings of the laboring classes. "Will YOU
he wrote, advise your husband how to
deal with this question, and will you, when
you are a mother, teach your children to
have the interests Of the laboring classes
at hearth" 1--WE know the letter con
cluded, that you are large CT heart and
will respond to these entreaties."
Miss Folsom and her mother devoted
the spare time of the afternoon to the
packing OF trunks and other preparations.
MIR. Folsom in the afternoon ordered the
carriage for Sis O'Clock p. m. Miss Fol
som took dinner with her mother and
cousin. They sat down at $50 p. M. and
did not arise until about I. The trip to
Washington and incidental circumstances
were the principal topics talked about
during the meal. Shortly after I O'Clock
hotel porters came to the private parlor
Of the Folsom suite to take charge OF the
baggage. Most of Miss Folsom's trunks
were in the baggage room below, but five
large Saratogas remained to be removed
down stairs. In all eleven large trunks
were piled on an express wagon that was
waiting at the hotel steps to go to Wash
ington, ard five others were addressed to
344 Main street, Buffalo. By 7:30 Miss
Folsom had finished her preparations for
her journey. She was then
dressed in close fitting
black silk dress, and wore a peaked chip
hat with a high white feather resting
upon it, that in no way concealed her
face. The design of her white cuffs and
collar included narrow stripes of black.
As she emerged from her parlor, she car
ried a black shawl over her arm, and in
her left hand was a bouquet. The other
hand held an umbrella of bright red shade,
that was purchased in London before her
grandfarher's death. As Miss Folsom
came down stairs it was evident that she
sought to conceal the umbrella, as it was
not in keeping with her mourning cos
tune. Miss Folsom came down the main
stairway of the hotel. They crossed the
lobby and reached a closed carriage in
waiting on the street at the ladies en-
trance. Mr.. John Breslin, the proprietor
of the Gilsey House, assisted the ladies
into the carriage, and Mr.. Folsom fol
lowed, earring two hand satchels.
The balcony above the entrance was
filed with ladies who enthusiastically
waved their handkerchieis at the bride
cleo as she was driven AWAY. This was
at $50 p. m. A bay and gray team were
started at a lively pace to the ferry. The
route was toward Fifth avenue and
thence down past Washington square and
transvcrsely over the same route that
the president hurried over only a few
nights before to meet his chosen bride.
The same ferry boat that Mr.. Cleveland
crossed on was in waiting.
