NOT AN ELOPEMENT.
Marriage of Mr.. Elkins and Miss
Kenna Approved by 9th Families.

A correspondent of iThe Star corrects
the published statement which originated
in Cincinnati that Mr.. Blaine Elkins and
Miss Mary kenna had eloped to Cincin-
natl Tuesday to be married. The cor
respondent states the marriage was in no
sense anelopement. but that Miss kenna's
mother had undergone a serious opera
ton from which she has not recovered,
and on that account the couple deemed
it expedient to be married away from
home.
Their engagement had been previously
announced and Miss kenna had visited
at Senator Elkins home his sons
tiancee. There was not the slightest OBJ
lection to the wedding upon the part of
either family. 1t was intended that the
event should occur some time in Feb
ruary but Miss kenna went to Cincin-
natl to visit friend several days ago
and the inference is she told her mother
prior to leaving home that the marriage
would take place there.
The statement is also made. and is man.
ifestN true. that there has never been
feud between the two families, and
that the Cincinnati story is incorrect in all
it's details. Besides. the statement that
Mr.. kenna was succeeded in the United
States Senate by Mr. Elkins is true only
in the sense that four years after Senator
kenna's death Mr.. Elkins was elected to
the Senate to succeed Senator Camden.
