He gave the man Of God a careful
hearing, but when he had finished the
General told him that he had made up
his mind to marry Dora Richardson,
and he intended to do SO.
The next day the General went to
Richmond to get his license to marry
the child, secured the services of a min
lister, and the next morning they were
married. He found his bride an ignor-
ant country girl. She could read little,
but could scarcely write her name. He
employed a governess to teach her, and
had music teacher to give her lessons

The marriage Of the 'Sage Of White

Cured on Dec. Is, 1894. There were
many peculiar features which marked
the wedding and made it one Of the
most remarkable marriages that ever
occurred in Kentucky. About two
years before the wedding Dora Rich
ardson, accompanied by her mother
and little brother. was caught on the
railroad bridge which spans the Ken
lucky River at Valley View. by a
freight train. Dora pushed her little
brother OF the track and saved him.
She then chung to the trestle and saved
herself, but her mother was killed be-
fore her eyes. The story Of the tragedy
and of the heroism displayed by Dora
touched the heart Of General Clay, and
he determined to give the motherless
girl home. At that time he had In hif

his bride from the humble walks Of
life, as he believed that such a wife
would give him that love and affection
which he sought for In vain among
those Of nobler birth, her brother went
to her and told her that the General
was actually In earnest, and advised
her that as she was an orphan 1t would
be best for her to marry General Clay,
Notwithstanding that he was so high
above her in social rank, and that there
was such disparity In their ages. The
child, having always been treated kind
ly by the General, finally consented to
become his wife. and few months at
terward it became generally known in
the neighborhood that General Clay
would marry Dora Richardson within
two years.
But the Generals son, Brutus ]. Clay.
heard Of his fathers engagement and
tried to break it of. He called on his
father and urged him not to take such
foolish step. The interview ended in
the General driving his son from the
house and telling him to never set foot
on the place again as long rs he lived.
The General says that Brutus then
offered reward of $500 to anybody
who would steal Dora away so that his
father could not marry her. When the
General heard of this his old-time fight
ing blood was soon at boiling heat. He
sent for Dora's brother to come into his
library. He told him what he had heard
Brutus was going to do, and instructed
him to hire four fearless men who were
not afraid to shoot and kill and report
to him that afternoon. In the mean
time the General went to Richmond,
bought three Winchester rifles, two
dOuble-barreled shotguns and five large
revolvers. He laid in a large supply of
ammunition and returned home with
his arsenal. He armed each Of the men
with a gun and a pistol and instructed
them to shoot any suspicious person
seen on the place. The General himself
would not retire to bed to sleep, but
would keep watch in his library, catch
ing a nap now and then while sitting
in his armchair.
The widest reports were soon in cir
