TWICE MARRIED.

Henry D Whitney and Aiss Katie '.
 Harrison Were Married at Wil.
 mingt0n, Vs., Juno 6 and at Corn.
 wall, Conn.,, Auguss 16.
 In the Cornwall correspondence in THE NEWS of August 20 it was stated that Henry D. Whitney virtually denied that he was married to Miss Kate J. Har- rison at Wilmington, Vt, last June. That statement placed on trial the ve- racity of newspaper men. Accordingly the editor of THE NEWS wrote to Clark Chandler, of Wilmington, Vt., and to the editor of the Deerfeld Valley Times for a statement of the facts in regard to the alleged Whitney Harrison wedding ut Wilmington. We also sent said gen. tlemen marked copy of THE NEWS of August 20. The following are their re- plies to our enquiries:
 OFFICE OF DEERFIELD VALLEY TIMES,
 WILMINGTON, Vt., August 2S, 1890. M- s. c Beclley:
 Dear Sir-Yo1rs of yesterday at hand on my return to-day from short trip away. In regard to Henry D. Whitney's marriage here in June have seen MT Chandler, justice of the peace, who married them and he says he married them as stated on date named in the Times June 6). There is no possible doubt but what they were married here and he in- troduced the lady as his wife ts all friends; !; was here several weeks, then went to Corn wall, Conn. MT Whitney is 8 peculiar per son but never have known that he ever told anything any different from what it was. He was born and brought up here and everyone knows him. Should be glad to know more about the affair. Should rather you would not mention my name in connection with the matter, although can and will stand back of all l say. Very truly,
 O. H. JONES, Editor.
 EAST W1LnNaroN, Vt., Augsut 23. 1890. Mfr s. c. Beckdey:
 Dear Sir-Yours of the 22d received. Henry D. Whitney and @ lady whom he introduced as Miss Kate Harrison were married by me, at my residence, as stated in the Deer1eld Valley Times and other county papers, and a record of the same was left with the town clerk for record. and we have no doubt but it is recorded there.
