VOL. VIII. LOVE IN A COTTAGE President Cleveland and Bride are Enjoying the Honeymoon at Deer Park. They Were Married at the White House Last Evening at an Early Hour. And Soon After Escaped to the Special Train Which Bore Them Out of Washington.

The "Wedding Ceremony was Severely Simple and the Guests Numbered Only a Score, But the feral Decorations Were Elaborate and There was Cake lor All Present. Queen Victoria Congratulates the Happy Scenes on the Occasion. The Eventful Evening. Special to the Globe. Wahington, June 2.

A presidential salute fired at the arsenal this evening gave the people of Washington information that the president and Miss Folsom were married or should be married if nothing had happed to disarrange the regular program. Fortunately nothing of the kind had happened and the ceremony took place as the guns were discharged. There was one secret well-kept. It was divulged when the president and his bride left the White house soon after 'J o'clock tonight and took a special train for Deer Park, where they will spend a week in a cottage. The event of last night was the arrival of brother William Cleveland and sister Mrs.

Hoyt, who were met at the station by. Miss Cleveland, on whom, next to Col. Lament, the heaviest work of preparing for the wedding was laid. This scholarly, amiable lady, who will resign her ottice as mistress of the White house as soon as the happy couple get back from their too brief honeymoon, not only had to go to the depot at 10 o'clock last night to meet her brother and sister, but she had to return to the depot at 5:30 tins morning to meet her prospective sister-in-law and escort her to the mansion over which she will preside. Miss Folsom was not met by her lover.

The president has kept up THE EMPLOYMENT OF PHONIES to a very late moment, and though he has always had a high reputation as an early riser, he did not go to the depot. At the usual hour the president took his place at his desk, and attended to his official duties during the forenoon as though nothing unusual was going to happen. eral times he came out into the otlice of the private secretary, giving directions to the clerks about papers and wearing an air of being entirely contented with his lot in life. About noon he went to drive, this time without Col. Lamont.

He felt it necessary i to get used to going to ride without the private secretary. Col. Lamont newspaper men to give an official 1 account of the wedding by 3 o'clock, but he hardly kept his engagement. At 5 o'clock the representatives of the press were graciously permitted to hurry through the Blue parlor and East room, and see what they could on the fly. and the colonel marked out the spot in the Blue room where the bridal couple would stand, and the president would wear a dress suit with a turn down collar and.no gloves.

He also imparted the STARTLING INFORMATION that as the attorney general would not deviate from his rule, never, to wear a dress suit, even for the sake of the president's wedding, and he was unable to make up his mind to attend the joyful occasion in a frock coat, he would break the administration circle and stay at home. Then the colonel went out for a drive and released his overstrained nerves. At o'clock this evening nine American "citizens stood in front of the White house. Six of these were report ers, two policemen, and one was Albert Hawkins, the driver of the president's carriage. The correspondents seemed unusually happy, the policemen were grave aud solemn, while Mr.

Hawkins lazily leaned against one of the pillars supporting the portico and winked knowingly at his reportorial acquaintances. Mr. Hawkins was attired in livery, and wore on his immense hands a pair of tan-colored dog skin gloves, which were in pleasing contrast with his complexion. After a little time the members of the Marine band came straggling along. The musicians were in lull uniform, and presented a very fine appearance.

About half past 6 o'clock a VERY PECULIAR OUTFIT made its appearance in front of the house. An antiquated steed drew a 'Tattling" spring wagon, in which was seated an old farmer and his wife. The old fellow drove under the archway and jumped out of the wagon. From the rear of the vehicle he lifted out a large basket of flowers. In the center of the roses was a pyramid of strawberries as large as billiard balls.

The old gentleman carried the basket to Mr. Hawkins, and sent it to the president with his compliments. Resuming his seat in his vehicle, he drove away amidst the laughter of the crowd, which by this time had assumed large proportions. The policemen held back the good-natured crowd. An old lady, however, persisted in standing on the uppermost step, saying she came to see the wedding and had a right to stand there, too, and "stand there" she did.

It was now 6:40 o'clock and with the exception of Mrs. Lamont, none of the invited guests had put in an appearance. Presently a rather dingylooking carriage drove under the archway. In it was seated Secretary Lamar. He was in a few minutes followed by Dr.

Sunderland and wife. Then came Col. and Mrs. Vilas and immediately after them Judge Bissell of Buffalo. The irrepressible old lady, who still stood by the portico, turning to a by-stander said, "I wonder who that nice-looking man is?" "Judge Bissell of Buffalo," was the reply.

"Well, Buffalo or no Buffalo, he is a mighty nice looking man," said she. Secretary and Mrs. Endicott came, and were followed by Mr. Bayard, who came alone. Mr.

and Mis. Whitney put in an appearance, and last of all came Mr. and Mrs. Manning. Several White house attendants ran out to the carriage and assisted Mr.

Manning to alight. I The secretary was quite pale, but seemed to be in good spirits. Mr. Garland came not. Just before 7 o'clock the servants carefully PULLED DOWN TnE BLINDS of the windows on the lower floor of the White house, much to the disgust of the crowd.

A couple of French hairdressers hastily left the building, and at exactly 7 o'clock the strains of the wedding inarch were heard. The old lady said with a sigh: "It's all over; let's go home The car selected to take the president and his bride to their destination was the "Maryland," the private car of Mr. Robert Garrett, the president of the Baltimore Ohio railroad. It was finished last year and the first that w.x* built for the use of Mr. Garrett after he became president of the road upon the death ot his father.

It is built in accordance with the luxurious tastes of modem railroad presidents, and has most of the sumptuous pointments of the private house or the hotel. It has two large staterooms, one large dining-room and spacious kitchen, a bath room, reading room, and is so arranged that its owner can travel over the extensive system of roads now under the control of the Baltimore Ohio company, and make the car his home. It built at the shops of the company last DAILY ST. PAUL GLOBE year and fprobably cost 825,000. It has been used for a great many social occasions, but was never before assigned to a bridal couple.

Its owner, young Mr. Garrett, is himself a bachelor. The car is so arranged that it can be shut off from the rest of the train by a strong gate, and the presidential party can be as exclusive in it as if they were- on a special train. Mr. Garrett has I in the OF THE PRESIDENT'S INTENTIONS for some time, and as soon as he ascertained that it was his desire to go to some quiet retreat near Washington to spend tlio honeymoon, lie at once bad tlio use of his private car and the facilities of the road tendered to him.

Great pains have been taken to prevent an accident. Orders have been given to keep the track clear, and the track watch have been specially enjoined to vigilantly patrol their beats. Adequate provision has been made for the president and his bride at their destination. They are not going into a wilderness. They will not only have the use of a spacious and comfortable cottage, provided with all modern improvements, but carriages and horses have already been sup.

plied. Three days ago there were shinned from tills city tor tiie use of the president, four horses and two carriages. The horses are all dark, have been selected for their beauty and safety, and are accompanied by a driver who was selected for the purpose. One of the carriages is a Victoria, of the latest pattern; the other is a landau, which can be used either open or closed. Handsome livery has been furnished to the coachman and footman, and the carriages and harness are quite new.

The place which lias been selected for the presidential honey, moon is in the vicinity of Deer Park, ML. on the crest of the Alleghanies. The house is what is known as the cottage of ex-Senator Henry Davis of West Virginia. Deer Park is THREE THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE SEA, and is one of the most delightful spots between the Atlantic and Rockies. The Davis cottage is situated about one-half mile east of tho Deer Park hotel in the midst of a group of cottages, among which those of Mr.

Henry Garrett, Miss Mary Garrett, the richest maiden lady in America, daughter of the late John W. Garrett, and Stephen Elkins are the most conspicuous. It is situated on the slope of the hill looking toward tho south, and is a large two-story house, constructed by. the owner for the use of his family in the summer. It is situated in a grove and is upon one of the line driveways, I forty miles of which have been made i through the grove and park.

The presi; dent and his bride will find abundant use for the horses which his friends have proj vided for him in this mountainous retreat. The drives are a charming feature of the place, the roads Doing particularly well constructed and as smooth and level as a race track. The president will not be annoyed by the presence of guests at the hotels at Dear Park and Oakland, as these are not opened until late in June. THE LAST OFFICIAL ACT which Grover Cleveland did as a bachelor president was to sign the bill for the payment of the awards of the Alabama claims, and beneficiaries of these judgments will doubtless bless his wedding day. The members of the cabinet were called to the White house to-day by the president for the purpose of consultation regarding the constitutionality of the questions involved in the bill.

The cabinet meeting continued until 5 o'clock. It is understood the cabinet unanimosly indorsed the bill and the president signed it. Immediately thereafter he prepared for his wedding. Tho presence of the cabinet gave rise to considerable comment at the time and much speculation was indulged in as to the subject of the conference. "THE GAPING- CKOWD.

All Sorts and Classes oi People Stand in? Ontside. Washington, June 2. Other weddings there have been at the White house, eight in all, but never before to-day has the highest dignitary in the land bowed his head within its historic walls to receive the blessing of the church on his union in the holy bonds of matrimony. From the very dawn of the wedding day the city seemed alive to the approaching event. Little knots of idlers talked it over on the sidewalks in front of the hotels, sedate matrons gossiped as they passed along the streets, and bevies of laughing girls chatted and speculated about the coming momentous ceremony.

If there be truth in the ancient adage, a happy bride will reign in the White house, for though the day opened with a gray and cheerless sky, and shadows resting on the earth, yet as it grew older the elements seemed to relent, and little by little the sun forced his rays through the unwilling clouds until his broad beams fell in generous abundance on the soft green sward of the trim park encompassing the White house, bringing out in high relief the simple yet stately white columns of' the time-honored home of presidents, crystalizing in prismatic hues the sparkling spray of the fountains, and cresting with gold the foliage of the trees. Many were the curious glances that sought to pierce the draped windows and numberless were 1 the comments and speculations of the loiterers who gathered early in the afternoon within the giounds. Little or nothing in tho appearance of the mansion or its surroundings indicated to the casual passer-by that the much-talked-of event was at hand. The still and murky haze of the early afternoon had now wholly given place to" clear skies and warm southerly breezes, yellow slanting sunbeams filtered through the foliage of the park and made flickering pictures upon the velvety turf. The great fountain did its best to attract attention, spouting its cooling spray to the verge of its granite basin, and flowering shrubs and forms of tropical green filled the marginal gaps in the picture.

SEATS IN THE PARK across the avenue were occupied by lawnclad maidens, while half the young lovers in town, moved by the common sympathy which stirs the romantic feelings" of the sixty millions, took the winding walks in the line of their evening promenade and speculated upon the emotions which are supposed to till the hearts of bride and groom. On the walks near the White house the assemblage was thoroughly democratic, and the ragged urchins and slipshod colored girls jostled natty-looking gentlemen and ladies in silk attire. The gates were left wide open, and by 6 o'clock the crowd had swollen to several hundreds and a score or more of newspaper men held a point of vantage alongside the portico. The successive arrivals of the guests were watched with interest and their names were whispered by the more knowing to their companions. Suddenly the strains of the wedding march floated through the open windows, ami there was a general exclamation from the crowd: ''The service has begun." Then there came a tantalizing hush within the wails, which was soon ended by the strains of the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin," and it was -thereby known that the ceremony was over.

One by one the lights sprung up at the windows and the great burners on the portico cast their effulgence over the pavements. The scene resembled a summer-night's festival and the crowd gave itself up to the enjoyment of the delightful music. With short intermissions the fine orchestra rendered the following selections: Bolero. "I Son La Rosa." by Marianna; "Invitation a La Valse," Weber; "Spring Song," Mendelssohn; "Romance," "Bright Star of Hope," Itobandi; and Mosaic "Desiree," Sousa. BBH THE WEDDING.

For a few minutes the guests chatted gaily, but conversation was quickly suspended at 7:15 p. when a selected orchestra from the Marine band stationed in the corridor struck up the familiar strains of the wedding march from Mendelsohn's -'Midsummer Night's Dream," and all eyes wero turned to the doorway to catch the first glimpse of the coming bride and groom. Starting from the western corridor on the upper floor, the president came slowly down the western staircase with his bride leaning on his arm. They were unaccompanied, even the bride's mother awaiting her with the other guests. Passing through the central corridor, the bride and groom entered tho blue room and took a position near its- southern waLL, which was completely hidden from sight a mass of wedding palms, tropical grasses, and an endless variety of choice flowers.

THE PRESIDENT was in full evening dress, turn down collar, white lawn necktie and white enamelled studs. A hush fell on the assemblage as Dr. Sunderland stepped forward to his position fronting the wedding couple, with Rev.

William Cleveland (the president's brother) it his left hand. In a distinct tone of voice and with a deliberate utterance Dr. Sunderland began the simple and beautiful wedding service, as follows: Forasmuch as wo are assembled to observe the holy rito3 of marriage, it is needful that we should seek the blessing of the Great God, our Father, whoso institution it Is, and therefore, I beseech you to follow me with reverent, hearts iv prayer to Him, almighty and evorlasting God, the Father of our the frauier of our bodies, the giver of every good and perfect gift.

The bride responded in a low but clear voice, "I do." "In token of the same, let tho wedding ring jbe passed." (The groom placed the ring on the bride's finger.) Dr. Sunderland (solemnly) "Forasmuch as I Grover and Frances have here agreed and I covenanted to live together after God's ordi-1 nances in the holy estate of wedlock, and firmed the samo by giving and taking a wedi ding ring, now therefore, in the presence of I this company, in the name of the Father, and tha Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I proi nounce and declare that they are husband and wife, and what God hath joined together, let no man put asunder."

Washington, June decorations of the executive mansion to-night were of an elaborate character, and in the language of one of the oldest employes: "It never presented a handsomer appearance." The various public gardens in the city and many private conservatories hers and in other cities contributed their choicest plants and flowers to lend their beauty and fragrance to tho scene.

Of course the blue room, where the ceremony was performed, occupied the principal attention of the decorators. Their work was certainly! well done, lt was transformed into a veritable bower of beauty. The largest plants included engneias and seccas, and among the smaller ones were crotons, maranthas and aspidistras; The foliage plants were interspersed with a large variety of flowering plants, such a3 the merinally, begonias, hydrangeas, roses and late flowering azaleas. Right and left of the main entrance from the corridor were two groups of flowering pelargorniums; fuschias, orchids and palms. The center plat in each group was the royal phoenicophorum zchaiarum.

On the right aud left sides of the room were also largo groups of pi ants in full bloom, consisting mostly of roses, begonias and Two lanre keutias balmoreamus in these groups with their long leaves formed an arch which stretched almost across the room. In the hearth under the east mantel was a floral arrangement representing a cheerf blazing fire. It was composed of the be gonia rubia and centauias. The floor of the hearth was laid in mosaics of coloeus althornantheras. On the mantel above was a solid bank of culpansies in various bright colors, in which wa written with whito flowers the date of the occasion, "june 2.

1856," The letters were bordered with black pansies and the edge of the mantel was formed of the golden selagirella. The west mantel sustained a solid bank of roses in which none but the choicest were used, I commencing with the delicate pink at the end and growing darker and richer towards the center, where was interwoven in, white moss and hybrid roses the monogram The space immediately under this mantel was banked with a variety of crotons, astillea japonica and the golden selagirella. The two large mirrors above tlio mantel were draped and festooned with garlands of mixed roses. The doors leading to the room were also festooned with heavy garlands of roses in different colors, thin at both ends and thicker towards the center. Over the main entrance from the corridor was a beautiful floral scroll, in which the motto, Pluribus Unum," was interwoven in immortelles.

The decorations of the private dining-room, where the wedding collation was served, were also of an elaborate character. The main table decoration was a -rigged three-masted of pinks, centaurea, egana, roses and pansies, displaying the word "Hymen." It rested on a mirror representing a lake, the shores of which were composed of different varieties of selagiellas and tiny pieces of coral. Tho surrounding land was represented by banks of Jacqueminot roses. The national colors hung from tho main mast and two small white flags with tbe monogram in golden letters hung from the other masts. At either end of the table, resting, on mirrors, were handsome vases, containing long-stemmed hybrid roses.

The mirrors were festooned with asparagus tenuissiemus interspersed with loose roses. In the corners of the room and in the windows were groups of palms, crotons, calladiums and some plants in bloom. The four handsome sideboards were suitably decorated with the choicest foliage and flowering plants, and the mantel was a solid bank of roses. The East room and the Red and Green parlors were decorated in the style usual at receptions and state dinners. The East room presented a particularly grand appearance, with the groupings of tropical plants, masses of exotics and brilliant illumination.

Festoons of smilax were gracefully suspended from the chandeliers and beautiful garlands ornamented four pillars, upon each of which was conspicuously displayed a large floral shield, composed of choice red and white roses, violets and crysanthemums, representing the national colors. To the usual decoration of the main corridor were added four astra groups of palms and foliage and flowering THE HONEYMOON. It Will be Spent in Solitude at Deer Park. Washington, June From the East room the company proceeded after a season of promenading and conversation to the family dining-room of the mansion, where the wedding supper was served. There was no formal order observed in the supper room, but a collation was served and the guests sat at the small tables or slowly THE CUTAWAY COAT promenaded the room as they discussed the menu and chatted over the event of the evening The eiegantly-designed souvenirs of satin boxes, containing dainty nTces of the bride quietly slipped away to her room and changed her wedding dres, tnZteSy gray silk traveling dress Sh changed his dress suit for a traveling costume.

This was about 8:30 o'clock, and the president and his bride said a hasty ''good-bye" to their friends and left the house through a private exit from the Red room into the WEDDING BOSOM. I A Ul closed carriage awaited them and as they entered and the horses started off a shower of rice was thrown on the carriage and their friends waived them a final "God-speed" from the rear It was expected that the president would try to sl.p away unobserved, and in order to prevent this a number of newsnaner men stationed themselves near the southwest entrance to the grounds with carriages convenient to follow him in ease he should make his exit by that gate. This was to the president, so he instructed his driver to go out ofthe grounds by another and almost unused route, and in that way he avoided the reporters altogether. His carriage- was driven direct to the Baltimore Ohio railroad station, where a (Special train was in waitling to take the president and his bride to Deer Park. They were escorted through the station and into the (Provided for them without attracting attention, and at 9 o'clock the train started off to its destination.

The president and his bride iwere wholly unaccompanied on this journey. They will probably re- honeymoon hats, main at Deer Park about a week, during which time they will occupy a small cottage attached to the hotel, which has not yet opened for the season. The guests began to leave the White house soon after the president's departure. The first one to leave was Secretary Bayard, who smilingly stood on the portico for some time before his carriage drove up. The carriage of Dr.

and Mrs. Sunderland was the next to drive up and was immediately followed by that of Secretary and Mrs. Manning. The secretary did not look very well. He appeared rather weak and hardly able to walk.

He was supported to his carnage by Postmaster General "Vilas and Mr. Bissell. The other guests lingered a while and the orchestra continued to play enlivening music until nearly 10 o'clock, by which time all of the guests had taken their departure. The crowd of curious sight-seers remained near the mansion until preparations were made to close it for the night. The presents were many, but they were not exhibited, nor will any list furnished.

This is in deference to the wishes of the president. The groom's gift to his bride was a handsome diamond necklace, composed of a single string of brilliants. The presents from the cabinet officers and their wives were mostly articles ot jewelry, though there were several beautiful presents of silverware. Just I THE PRESIDENT'S GLOVES. as the wedding ceremony began a presiden- tial salute was fired by a battery of artillery near the river, and the chime of bells of the Metropolitan M.E.

church pealed forth the Mendelssohn wedding march, and the bells in other churches joined in the happy salute. The gentlemen present at the wedding were not fortunate enough to receive a salute from the bride, who confined her kisses to the ladies. Otherwise the ceremony was orthodox in form. The executive mansion will be open to-morrow, and photographers have already received permission to perpetuate pictoriallv the elaborate decorations of the interior. The arrangements for the day's event were under the control and personal management of Col.

Lamont, and they worked so smoothly and satisfactorily as to earn for him universal commendation and compliment. THE COURTSHIP. Some of the Embarrassments Connected With It. Special to tho Globe. Washington, June Only once in all his courtship has the president had to despair and fear that his luck was turning, aud that was when Col.

Folsom died. At that time it had been arranged that as soon as Miss Folsom and her mother were safely on board homeward bound steamer, the announcement of the president's engagement to Miss Folsom should be made officially the date In June which they had agreed upon formally given out Everything was perfected according- to that plan jat the time the Folsoms embarked from Antwerp, but the death of Col. Folsom, of which the bride-expectant could not know, until she landed; deterred the president from making the announcement and ending his mysterious silence under NO. 1 5 such long accusations, ne did not wish to make public the plans that might have to be set aside when MissFolsom arrived. He decided, therefore, to have Col.

Lamont go to New York and meet her and act as his proxy in consulting and making any changes in the plan that she might desira It was particularly desired that THE ENGAGEMENT should not be known while Miss Folsom I was in Europe, as it would embarrass her movements, make her the object of scrutiny and attentions and keep the newspapers ringing with her movements. Unfortunately some members of the family were unable to maintain the silence imposed on them, and the last weeks of her stay in Paris were full of annoyance and a ruse had to be employed to get her quietly on board the Nordland. Up to that time the party of Mrs. Folsom, Miss Folsom and her uncle. Ben traveled and roamed at their pleasure over Southern Europe, attracting no more attention than hundreds of similar parties.

The president received the mails and cables in a very regular and frequent correspondence and every move of hers was immediately known to him. Much of the midnight oil that he was supposed to be burning over state documents and messages was devoted to the brighter pleasure of writing to Miss lolsom. The president writes a fine hand that is almost feminine, while ins lady love scribbles one of the tall, sweeping angular highhands now the ac- complishment of every boarding school graduate. During her absence a large portrait of Miss Folsom ornamented the presidents dressing stand in his private apartments, and as his friends and their friends are not allowed to be shown through the private part of the house, as President Arthur so obligingly allowed them to, that secret was not generally known. The members of his cabinet suspected early in the winter that he had matrimonial designs, but none of them knew of the special object of his intentions, other than if he did tell one or two of them of his engagement to Miss Folsom, he coupled it with a promise of secrecy, and knowing how the president wanted his secrets kept not one of them hinted enough of it to know whether fellow cabinet- officers had been apprised.

Each preferred not to be the first one to speak of it and last Friday brought them the first relief after knowing of the state secret. When everything was laid before her Miss Folsom preferred to have A QUIET "WEDDING, as quiet as possible, rather than wait until fall and then go through with the elaborate program of a great wedding and several receptions as they had first planned for this month of June. There are many criticisms upon her coming here to be married in the White house, and thus giving it an official caste, for if mourning for Col. Folsom and a desire to escape notriety had been most considered, a simple wedding in New York the other day would have settled everything. The president himself wrote the autograph notes by which a few guests were bidden to the wedding, the bride only adding the names of her aunts, Mrs.

C. P. Rogers of Syracuse, and Mrs. Cadman of Detroit to those of her mother and cousin, who represented her family on this occasion. All day yesterday constant communication was kept by wire between the White house and the Folsom apartments at the Gilsey house, and all necessary arrangements were then made.

Dr. Sunderland was summoned to a conference in the afternoon and the form of the ceremony discussed and decided upon. The president and his fiancee had considered that question during their two brief visits in New York and the little doctor's anxieties were set at rest. The couple decided to be married with a ring, the ceremony to be as brief as it could possibly be made. Dr.

Sunderland wanted to have a rehearsal, but the president signified an objection. Once was enough to go through that ordeaL CONGRATULATIONS. The Queen and the Canucks Rejoice at tbe Event. Montreal, June The vessels in the harbor here to-day were gaily decked with bunting in honor of the president's wedding, and most of them carried the Ameri- can flag at the foremast head.
