But when President Tyler left Washington early in the morning of June 25, 1844, to be married in New York, Washington society looked forward to another gay season. His bride was Miss Julia Gardiner, a young woman of twenty. The bridal reception at the Execu-tiv- e Mansion in Washington occurred on the Saturday following and was attended by nearly every official in the city, all the foreign Ministers, army and navy officers and great throngs of women. Ail Washington, in fact, was represented at that reception, which was as notable an event as the wedding Itself. The wedding of Nellie Grant was the ninth to occur in the White House. It was the first to be celebrated in the east room, and Miss Grant was the third daughter of a President to be married in the Executive Mansion. The first, as has been stated, was Miss Marie Monroe; the second, Miss Elizabeth Tyler. Miss Grant was 18 at the time, a handsome, happy and affectionate girl. Both on her own account and on account of her father and his position there was immense public interest in the marriage. The bridegroom was Algernon C. F. Sartorls. He was in his twenty-secon- d year and by birth an Englishman, The wedding occurred May 21, 1874.

Dr. McCabe, who had married them, renewed his pastoral blessing in the same words and heard the same pledges that were uttered twenty-fiv- e years before. Following the ceremony a christening took place, the child, a daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Heron, receiving the! name of Lucy Hayes, in honor of Mrs Hayes. Then Fanny and Scott Russell Hayes, two of the President's children were baptized. The tenth White House wedding! was that of Miss Emily Platt, niece oC President Hayes, who was married to Gen. Russell Hastings on June 19j 1878. The bride had been to the Pres-- j ident and Mrs. Hayes as a daughter,) and she had lived in their home fori many years, going to the White House) with them from Ohio. Gen, Hasting had been a companion in arms of the President, having been the Lieuten-an- t Colonel of the Third Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, of which President! Hayes was Colonel. The ceremony was performed in the Blue room by Bishop Jagger of the Southern Diocese of Ohio. In deference to the wishes of both the bride and the bridegroom the wedding was a very quiet affair, the guests being limited almost exclusively to family friends and relations. When next the Blue room was dec orated for a marriage ceremony thi wedding was that of a President, th first to be married in the Whit House. President Cleveland was tha second Chief Magistrate to be married while in office.

The Jury in the trial of charged with the robbery pf Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, or 125,000 in connection with the kidnaping of the latter's son five years ago, Friday afternoon, after fifteen hours deliberation, brought In a verdict of not guilty. The kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy, December 19, 1900, and his release upon the payment by his father of 125,000 ransom, created a great sensation, and the search for the kidnapers was stimulated at the time by the offer of a reward of $30,000 by Mr. Cudahy. It was the belief of the authorities! that Crowe and James Callahan were Omaha, ;Pat Crowe, trace ot them could be found until about a year, ago, when Callahan was arrested. He was identified by young Cudahy as one of his captors, but was released on trial as it could not be shown that he received any of the money and there was at that time no law making the kidnaping of a person over 10 years of age a crime. Last October Crowe was arrested in Butte, Mont., and was put on trial February 7. There was no evidence to positively identify Crowe as one of the kidnapers. in Crowe was recently Indicted the guilty parties, hut no Council Bluffs, with others, on charge of holding up a street car. 1 var-offlci- als , a in Murdered Denver Maq Dining Room of Hie Hotel. .
