WILLIAM c. WHITNEY.

and proceeded at once to Bar Harbor. He rapidly regained his health, and after meeting Mrs Randolph, the two decided upon the date of the wedding
 There are several features which tend to cast a halo of romance over the mar riage-a courtship of several years, the sudden engagement and hasty marriage
 Mrs Randolph Is an old friend of the Whitney family and has been intimately associated with them for the past ten years.
 While MT. Whitney, with his family and a party of friends, were passing the sum- mer in Europe, six years ago, the couple were thrown much in each others society. His marked attention to Mrs Randolph on various occasions since has given rise to the rumor in society that they were en- gagged, but society was left to speculate, for MT Whitney kept his own counsel and did not confde in his most intimate friends. It was not until yesterday that he chose to make his engagement and an- tioipated wedding public.
 MT. Whitney's son, Harry Payne, with his newly welded wife, Is now on his hon. eymoon. The ocSple will start shortly from Lenox, Mass, for Vancouver, B. C., where they will take the steamship Elm press of India for Japan. Mir. Whitney's daughter, Mrs. A. H. Paget, is, with her husband, spending the summer in the Adirondacks She is slightly indispoSed, which prevented her attending the we'd ding.
 Reports of Family Arrangement Denied.
 A suggestion that there was any es- traneement in the family on account of the wedding was denied positively, as all the members of the family have been on the best of terms with the prospective bride.
 Mrs. Randolph's late husband was a captain in the Fifteenth hussars, com- monly called the Queens Own She was originally Miss Edith S May and Is first cousin to Herman Oelrichs, also to Mrs. Colonel William Jay. She is the mother of two children, the eldest IS years old.
 Mir. Whitney was born in Conway, Mass July 5, 1S41. He is descended in the eighth generation from John Whit ney, one of the leading English Puritans who settled in Watertown, Mass, in 1885. On his mothers side he Is descended di- rectly from Governor Bradford, who came over in the Mayhower. His ancestors on ,the male line were men of unusual strength of character, among whom were Brigadier General Josiah Whitney. In 1888 Yale conferred the honorary degree of LL- D. on Mir Whitney. He graduated from Yale in 1863, and was the valedio- torian of his class, dividing the honors in English with Professor W. D. Sumner, now of Yale. He was appointed secretary of the navy by President Cleveland March 5, 1885. He served two terms as counsel in 1875 His first wife was Miss Flora Payne, daughter of the late United States Senator Henry B, Payne of Ohio, who died recently

ROBBED THE COUNTY.
THE TREASURER OF RENSSELAER, Ac-
 cuSEo OF EM6EzzLEMENT.
He |. Said to Have Got Away With saso,- ooo-Arrestod and Placed Under s4o.- ooo Bond.-He Lsn the County Prsc- tIeally Bankrupt.

TROY, N. Y., Sept 27.-County Treas. urer George II. Morrison, until now one of the most influential and popular men In Troy, a man in the prime of liio and reputed to bo worth about $500. 900 in his own name was lodged In the Rensse- lacr county jail charged with the cmbex. element of ssb0, GOO, or practically all of tho money belonging to tho county that is available at tho present time.
 For some days past rumors have boen flying around the city that the county treasury was In a bad condition, but little sttention was paid to them because of the supposed absolute integrity of the county treasurer, who for a number of years had been cashier of the national bank, which has been declared insolvent within a week past, but from which Mir. Morrison sever. ed his connection moro than year ago to take the county treasurership.
 It was not until Saturday that theso ru- mors gained any oredenoe, and when it was found that George Morrison had em- bezzled nearly every cent in the county oofers, his friends, for he had no enemies, were struck dumb, and the first questions they asked were "why did he do itS' and What did he do with the moneyf" and the only person who can answer these questions is the embezzler, George Mor- rison.
 This investigation was begun at onoe. and it resulted in finding but sl6s depos- tied to the credit of the county in all banks in Troy and but small sum in ths county trcasurcr's safe. As near as could be hastily figured, there should be at the disposal of the county nearly $500 GOO. In the insolvent national bank there Is a de- posit of $40, 000, but none of this will be available. for some time yct to oorna and Rennselaer county today has possibly $500 for current expenses
 Bail was fixed at s4o, 900, and Morrison was liberated

Chauncey VIII Take . Wife.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-It is asserted on good authority that Dr. Chauncey Mitch ell Depew and Miss Edith Collins, his ward, are to be married in October. The report that they were to become husband and wife has been printed several times, but never has been confirmed. This time 1t is believed generally about town that the day for their wedding has been set. The last time that the report was circu- lated that Mir. Depew and his ward were to be married was when young Cornelius Vanderbilt married Grace Wilson. Miss Collins had been travelling in Europe with a party, of which Mir. Depew was a mem- Der. Mir. Depew was called home by the sudden illness of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., and Miss Collins came to the United States with him. They were constantly together. A few days after Grace Wilson became Mrs. Vanderbilt Miss Collins sailed back to Europe. Now 1t Is reported from the other side that she has been at tending to her trousseau and that she will return to this country about the middle of next month to be married to the doctor. When Dr. Depew Is asked about the ru- mors, he smiles and says nothing. Miss Collins Is great granddaughter of old Commodore Vanderbilt and is an ex- tremely distant relative to MT. Depew.
