GENERAL KEARNY TO MARRY.
II IL Announced That He Will Take
Mtss Harrison of Kentuck aaa Bride

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Feb. 3. 1Ss.-Gen.
John Watts Kearny. son of Fighting
PHIL Kearny. it was announced today,
will wed in June next Miss Harrison of
Kentucky and Virginia, who is a sister
of Mrs. Upton Muir of this city and who
divides her time between her relatives in
this State and those in Virginia. This is
the second time that General Kearny has
fallen before thsseharps OF a Kentucky
woman. Several years ago he married
Miss McNairy of Princeton. who died
shortly after he removed from this city
to New York. There is said to be an
element of romance connected with the
Generals love for MISS Harrison. He
was greatly attached to his first wife,
and Miss Harrison resembled her to such
a marked degree that it was a case of
love at first sight when he met Miss HAIR
rison.
The Generals fanoee is about twenty
six wears old. and is considered one of
the handsomest women in the South.
General Kearny. who is related to the
BulIitts. Luttleton Cookies. and other
Kentucky families. is turning seventy.
The marriage will not take place until
June. as it is hoped that by that time
John Watts kearny, Jr., who is confined
by order of court in a sanitarium for the
drinking habit. will be cured n able
to attend the wedding.
