New York, July 9.-AIiss EdIa Nc

the heiress of millions, and for several

night to a man without wealth and but
little known in New York.

physician who has yet to make a rep
utation in the profession. He has an
office at 254 West Thirty-fourth street.

or knowledge of the brides mother and
relatives.
The marriage was one of love, for
every one who ever saw Miss McPher-

her choice for a husband from the
eligible list of wealthy young men in
Washington. Since last fall Miss Nc

mourning for the senator, and were
seen but little in society.
