WHY so MYSTERIOUS |?
Ex-Mayor Grant and the Daughter of Senator Murphy Said to Have Married
 at Washington.

Washington, April 30.-Although the fact cannot be positively stated, owing to the impenetrable veil of mystery thrown about it by the family. there is every reason to believe that the marriage of Ex- Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New York and Miss Murphy, daughter of the New York senator. took place at the appointed hour of noon today. The license was issued early this morning. At 12:30 Archbishop Corrigan left the Murphy residence and the strains of an orchestra f1oated from the back drawing room. The house was sealed against outsiders and no informa- tion was given the press. Senator Mur- phy gave out orders to receive no cards and instructed his servants to say noth- ing about what had taken place.
