Raw Arthur Judeels Meeting With
9OV1 Young McAilister.
The McAllistsr- Garmany marriage Is as
much the talk as 1t was the day it was an-
nodnced. As yet there has been no expla-
nation why 1t was kept secret or why it was
announced. 1t was Mrs. McAllister's, nee
Garmany's, brother Mr.. Howard a. GAR
many, could not be seen yesterday.
DR.. jasper G. Germany, another brother,
who lives in New York, has 5een inter-
viewed. He said that the announcement
Of the marriage had come to him as COM
plete surprise within very short time.
MF. and Mrs. McAllister had determined to
make the matter public. but he could not
say why they had come to this conclusion.
he said the secret marriage was a matter
OF great regret in the family, and that it
was possible that his brother Howard as
the present head Of the house, might have
something to say in the course of week or
two. He declined to make public any de-
tails OF the affair, saying, however, that his
actual knowledge was very limited. He
said that he saw his sister last Wednesday,
when she called at the house. but that she
and her husband had not remained as guests
in his house while they were in New York
together Where they had staid he did not
know, nor could he say where they were at
pIesellb, DoJ Onu Lilb ldCL ludb IQ9y were not
in New York. He said his sister was in
high health and spirits, and that ne could
form no idea why she had elected to disclose
her marriage at the present time after wait
ing SO long, beyond the conjecture that she
happened TO take g fancy to do SO.
The New York Herald prints an inter
view with Rev., Arthur H. Judge, who per-
formed the marriage ceremony. Mr..
Judge, who is now at the Church OF the
Heavenly Rest, in Fifth avenue, was then
q curate of the Church Of the Holy Apostles
Young McAliister called upon him and
said he wanted to get married. Mr.. Judge
saw that he was an intelligent person, fairly
well dressed, who struck him as being the
son of some wealthy butcher. Mr.. Judge
said that he was willing 20 perform the
ceremony, but that he must have some sort
OF assurance that be was assisting at
proper performances and that there wasn't
anything Ia thelbustness that might subse-
quently reflection him.
Young McAllister went away nnd next
day returned with young woman, beauti-
full and welr dressed. with dark eyes aud
the distinguishing charms of the south. She
hung OH his right arm and in his left hand
was documsnt signed by Mrs Garmauy q,
mother OF the candidate for bridehood,
asking the minister TO marry the couple.

asserted young McAllIster.
Mr.. Judge didn35 see any reason why the
ceremony. saonadR't sbe performed, and he
performed It.. ~

ITS common name"
The young husband stretched himself up
TO his full height II am the son of Ward
McAllister,n he said pompously.
At that time the society leader was not
as well ad verbised as he is now. Few
people outside of his household had ever
heard of him. Mr.aJudge was among these
and he doubtless incurred LAe husbands Ill
will by asking who ON earth Ward McAllis-
ter was. From that day he never thought
of the mysterious ceremony until it was
called to his mind few days ago.
