ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcFJ
NEW YORK, Feb. ga wedding which,
although it was not altogether secret, was
very unobtrusive, took place in this
city a few months ago, and the
news of it has just got out.
The contracting parties were Eliza
A. Clark, wealthy maiden, whose house is
at los East Thirty-sixth street, and DR..
Marvin D. Hubbell, who was graduated
from the College of Physicians and Surgeons
four years ago.
The age of the bride is matter of some
uncertainty. 1t seems an ungracious specu-
lation, but the figures are unusual. A ply
sician who treated her for number of
years said tonight that she appears to be
about 20. A second cousin was of the opin-
ion that Miss Clark had passed her SOth
year at the time of her marriage.
A dispatch from Danbury, Conn, where
Miss Clark was born, gives her age as 81
years. According to the same dispatch the
groom's age is 90 Acquaintance of DR..
Hubbell in this city, however, judging
from his appearance, put his age at from 80
to 30 years.
The Brides Comfortable Dowry.
Mrs. Hubbell, that now is, is said TO be
possessed of O very considerable fortune,
which is variouslv estimated at from $780,
900 to 100000 She is the owner of the
handsome house on Thirty-sixth street,
where she and her young husband are now
living, and other real estate in and out of
the city.
The dispatch from Danbury referred to
said that Miss Clark's relatives had learned
OF the marriage only yesterday.
I'VE have attempted in no way to keep
the marriage secret said DR..
Hubbell, last night. "We were married
by Rev.. DR.. Parkhurst, of the Madison
Square church, of which my wife has been
member for many years. The marriage
ceremony was openly, performed, before
witnesses, some months ago and I sent a
notice of it to one of the papers. Mrs
Hubbell has for number
of years been sufferer from
chronic bronchitis, and for the last
four years have. been living in the house
here with her as her physician. Our mar
riage is the result of long friendship. My
wife has known me since was boy"
Forg often the Date of His Wedding.
DR.. Hubbell did not remember the date
of his wedding, but as nearly as could be
learned it occurred on December II last.
Dr. Hubbell said that the dispatch
which stated his brides age at 81 years
was probably prompted by relatives
at Danbury, who were not kindly disposed
toward her During the illness of Miss
Clark that was, DR.. Hubbell said, he had
frequently called in the late DIR. Sands and
DR.. Markoe IN consultation.

q young man from Danbury, had lived with
Miss Clark in her house in this city for some
years before DR.. Hubbell took up his resi-
dence there Mr. Starr had managed |

dition to his services as physician.
