Cathedral Thursday afternoon:
A marriage at Wheeling yesterday
opens up sensational story, q promi.
ncnt figure in which attracted consider.
able attention in this city.
At the cathedral in that city J. Clar.
cnco Duffy, OF Washington, D. G.. was
united TO Miss Mary Allen, OF Shelby
vile, Ky.
Duffy is member OF tho Wilbur Op-
era Company, now holding forth in
Wheeling, and tho ceremony was per.
formed in the presence OF members Of
the company.
This will provo most surprising news
10 certain persons here, as there was all
prepared and ready TO file u most pccu-
liar suit, in which the lady was plaintiff
and tho new husband would have been
defendant.
Miss Allen, or more proper, Mrs. Duf.
fy, is stately and attractive blonde.
She was quartercd at Kennedy Heights
while here. Alaymc Allen Harvey was
the pleasantly ouphonious name BY
which she was known, and ]. Clarence
Harvey was her husbands. In her pc
tition she claimed Clarence to be big
amist, and she SO charged with all the
vim OF
A TRUE FLOODED WOMAN
OF the south. Such discovery would
be painful enough TO be bandagcd in
hopes OF ultimate recovery; but the
alliction was two-iold. III addition to
being Il seceder, it seems she discovered
that Clarcnce's hind name was not
llawcy-romantic.appcaring Harvey.
It's DulFy-plain, Observation-Disclosures
too Duffy. Consequently The case called
for amputation, aud, offending and par
adoXical as it may seem, the missing
member was TO be amputated in tho
courts.
The case OF these people would not
have been considered OF more than
ordinary interest were it not for tho
fact that 1t contains Il romance, and the
actors and actresses arc leading people
III several parts OF the country.
Mrs. Harvey, for such she is called. is
Kentucky girl. Her maiden name
was Allen. The story OF her life began
when the
WILBUR OPERA COMPANY
appeared i'll her home place. She at
tended one OF the performances and
was impressed with the appearance and
singing OF one OF the tenors, J. Clarence
Harvey. Miss Allen always had pre-
objection for the stage, and she met Mr..
Harvey. They loved MS only tenor
singer who loafs at high G and South
crn belle who wants to do So can love.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen, the respected par
ents oil the stagc-struck beauty, did not
look with favor upon Mr.. Harvey, even
II he had tin pan ring to his voice.
But Mayme did not care, and she con-
trived to get to Camden, MI, where on
January 10, 1889, tho tribe OF Harvey
was increased by one. The bride was a
woman OF superb form, and she readily
