SECRET MARRIAGE
DANvILLE, Ind, Jan. 9.--The runor that
Miss Nellie, daughter of DR.. L. Fl. Kennedy, of
this city. would shortly be married to gentle
man from New York city, was bruited about
several days ago, but this morning the gossipers
were startled by another report announcing that
the young lady had been married several months
ago to Mr. Frank A. Beals, of New York, while
she and her brother, Albert Kennedy, were at
tending commercial college at Pouehkeepsie.
This last report was supplemented by the
intelligence that Mr.. Beals arrived here
on the early train this morning to
claim his bride. Mr. Albert Kennedy short
~ afterwards interviewed, and he confirmed the
announcement of the marriage, saying the event
took place at Fishkill, July 80, 1887 The couple
became acquainted in the early part of the year,
resulted in a mutual determination to join their
fortunes in wediock they conceived the plan OF
having the ceremony quietly performed and
keeping it secret until certain domestic arrange
ments could be made 1t was accordingly de-
cded that they would postpone the announce
ment until the new year. Shortly after the
marriage, Miss Nellie came home, having
completed her course of instruction at POUCH
keepsie. She had thus far kept the secret of
her marriage even from her brother, who only
learned it after he returned home, which was a
month or two later The family were informed
of the state of affairs three months ago. Mr..
Bealss arrival this morning was therefore
ticipated by the Kennedys and a few particular
friends. The bride and groom departed this
afternoon for New York. They will make their
future home at Harlem, whore Mr. Beais holds
a lucrative position book-keeper for the firm
with which his father is associated. The senior
Frank A. Beals is reputed to be immensely
wealthy and highly respected.
