Article Text: Mrs. Bulkley’s Funeral The Simple Services at Her Father’s Residence. The Young Woman’s Husband Among the Mourners – Mr. Bulkley Inclined to Lay the Responsibility for his Wife’s Death upon her Father’s Actions. The funeral of Mrs. Bessie Bulkley took place yesterday morning from the residence of her father Judge Curtis J. Hillyer. The ceremonies were private, and only a few of the most intimate friends of the Hillyer family and the family of Dr Bulkley were present. Young Grassie Bulkley, the husband of the deceased girl, was dressed in deep mourning, and his countenance showed the deep sorrow he felt over the death of his unfortunate wife. The casket containing the remains was placed in the parlor, and around it gathered the sorrow-stricken assemblage. Rev. Dr. HAMLIN, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, officiated, and read the funeral service prescribed by the Presbyterian Church. Nothing was added by the minister and when the reading was concluded the lid of the casket was removed and the relatives were given an opportunity to look for the last time on the features of the deceased. This was the most affecting moment of the sad ceremonies and those present were deeply moved. The young husband could barely suppress his emotion, while his mother and the members of the dead girl’s family were visibly distressed. The casket was then closed and carried to the hearse. Judge and Mrs. Hillyer and the brothers of Mrs. Bulkley led the procession that filed from the house to the carriages. They were followed by Grassie Bulkley, leaning on the arm of his mother, and by the other members of the Bulkley family and the invited friends. Among the latter were Senator Stewart, Mrs. Hutchinson, Senator Edmunds, and Judge MacArthur. The remains were then taken to Oak Hill Cemetery where the interment was made. Mr. Grassie Bulkley was seen by a Post reporter yesterday after the funeral, but was not inclined to talk much about his wife’s death. He was evidently feeling very bitter against Judge Hillyer, and, though he did not say much to newspaper men himself, he indorsed some very extreme statements made by his friends. He claims that Mrs. Bulkley would not have left him at all after their marriage but for the influence which her father extended over her and which she was unable to resist. He believed that but for the interference on the part of her family they would have lived happily together. He attributed her suicide to insanity, brought on by her enforced separation from him and the interference of her friends, over which she brooded until at length her mind was affected and she sought relief from her troubles in death. “After she took the poison,” said Mr. Bulkley, ”she called repeatedly for me. She begged that I should be brought to her, but it was not until Dr. Johnson urged that my presence might help to quiet her mind and aid in her recovery that I was sent for. Then Dr. Johnson himself came for me and I was admitted to the house, where my wife lay at the point of death. I then remained by her bedside until she died.” Mr. Bulkley said that during the 3 months of their separation he had never seen his wife but once, and they were not even permitted to correspond openly. He received a letter from her Wednesday morning written Tuesday night, but it contained no information that she contemplated taking her life. But even if it had, it was too late at that time for him to have done anything. Mr. Bulkley stated that he did not wish to attach blame to any other member of the Hillyer family, but he considered Judge Hillyer alone responsible for his daughter’s death. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The romantic marriage of Miss BESSIE HILLYER to GRASSIE BULKLEY, which produced such a sensation in social circles at the time of its occurrence, and the subsequent events in connection with the affair which followed each other in rapid succession, culminated on Thursday night in the death of young Mrs. Bulkley from a dose of arsenic, which she had taken in a fit of despondence. Since Mrs. Bulkley lived apart from her husband, she had resided at her father‘s house, and, so far as the public was concerned, was supposed to be happy. The announcement of her death from suicide yesterday, therefore, made a profound sensation, and numerous conjectures were made concerning the cause of the young lady’s action, and even yet, owing to the reticence of the members of both the Hillyer and Bulkley families, the matter is a subject which is exciting lively interest. The fatal drug which ended Mrs. Bulkley’s life was taken on Wednesday morning. She had appeared restless and unhappy for several days, and the preceding night she had informed her father that she intended writing to her husband proposing to return to him. On Wednesday morning she rose early and stole from the house. In a short time she returned, and going into her grandmother’s room, showed her a package of drugs she had just purchased and said she was going to make some camomile tea. She then went to her own room, but returned in a short time to her grandmother, with whom she talked for some time, apparently in her usual spirits. She remained in the room for about an hour, when she began to complain of feeling ill and lay down on a sofa. “What’s the matter, Bessie?” inquired old Mrs. Hillyer. “Nothing” the girl replied. But in a few moments she was so seriously ill that her grandmother was seriously alarmed. She was seized with a violent fit of vomiting, and appeared in such anguish that her grandmother immediately informed Judge Hillyer that his daughter was very ill. When the judge reached the room Mrs. Bulkley ran towards him and implored his assistance. She was very much excited, and in an almost incoherent manner told him that she had taken arsenic; that she was sorry for it, and wanted to recover. Messengers were at once dispatched for physicians, and Drs. W. W. JOHNSON, GEORGE M. JOHNSON, and D. W. PRENTISS were summoned; but before their arrival a druggist was called in, who administered an antidote. This relieved Mrs. Bulkley for the time, and when the physicians arrived, with the use of a stomach pump, they succeeded in relieving her of the greater part of the poison she had taken. Several hours had now elapsed, however, since she had first taken the poison and though for a time she seemed to be better, the effects of the drug became more and more apparent. While this was happening, Mrs. Hillyer, Mrs. Bulkley’s mother, was away from home, but she was sent for and arrived later in the afternoon. By this time it was apparent that Mrs. Bulkley was growing rapidly worse and the physicians were in constant attendance on her. Despite their efforts, however, the effect of the drug could not be counteracted and after lingering until 10 o’clock Thursday night, Mrs. Bulkley expired. The crape on the door of the Hillyer mansion was the first announcement that was made to the world of the sad occurrence. But beyond the fact of Mrs. Bulkley’s death little other information could be obtained during the day. Judge Hillyer positively refused to be seen, nor would any other members of the family talk about the death. The physicians were equally reticent, and Mr. Johnson, who is the family physician, positively refused to make known the cause of the lady’s death, and altogether there is an air of mystery surrounding the affair that is not fully dispelled even by the information obtained by the reporter of The Post. Mr. Grassie Bulkley, who was seen by the reporter, was as reticent as was Judge Hillyer, and while he indicated that he might make some statement in the future, he declined positively to discuss the cause which led to his wife’s suicide. The following statement was given to The Post on behalf of the Hillyer family last night, having been prepared by a gentleman thoroughly conversant with all of the circumstances: It will be remembered that the engagement between Miss Hillyer and Mr. Trenholm, son of Judge Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency, was announced late last autumn, and that the friends of both parties anticipated a happy union and were gratified with the prospects of the young people. A few days after this announcement Miss Hillyer and young Bulkley went to Baltimore and were married without the knowledge or consent of their families; that they returned on the same day and separated at the depot, each returning to their respective homes. Miss Hillyer, or Mrs Bulkley, as she then was, declined to join her husband. Her father, believing that she had been unduly influenced or coerced into the marriage, and supposing that he was carrying out her wishes, caused a suit to be brought in her name to annul the marriage. Senator STEWART acted as her attorney, and Judge CADY acted as the attorney for Mr. Bulkley. These attorneys consulted together with a view of taking such step! s as would be for the best interests of both parties. It was agreed to allow the young people to have a meeting and talk the matter over, and to be governed entirely by any conclusion to which they might arrive. This was in pursuance of the instructions of Judge Hillyer to Mr. Stewart, and it was also in accordance with the desires of the family of young Bulkley. It was arranged that the meeting should take place at the office of Judge Cady, which was accordingly done. The young people met, and after about an hour’s consultation they informed Mr. Stewart and Judge Cady that they had agreed to live together as husband and wife, and they were assured by both of their attorneys that their decision should be complied with. The suit was immediately dismissed. Mr. Bulkley secured rooms at a boarding house in this city, and the young people occupied them for about two weeks. Mrs. Bulkley, on the day following her decision to live with Mr. Bulkley as his wife, visited her ! home and was assured by her father and mother that nothing would be sa id regarding the past. They advised her that now she was married, it was her duty to be a good wife to Mr. Bulkley. They also assured her of their affection and that they desired her to come very often and see them and make herself as happy as possible. In a few days she complained that she did not get along well with Mr. Bulkley. At the end of about two weeks she returned home and said that she wanted a divorce. Her father advised her to take no rash steps, but assured her of his affection and told her that she had not lost her old home in his house, but to do as she had always done, but wait and be sure that hereafter she took no step that she would regret. The young lady, to all outward appearance, has since that time conducted herself as formerly, and the most affectionate relation existed between her and her family. She was an only daughter with several brothers older than her herself, and consequently she was the idol of the family; had been carefully educated, ! and largely by the direct instruction of her father, who is a graduate of Yale and a gentleman of fine literary tastes. It was only those who knew her best who could discern that she was suffering great mental anguish, and for that reason her family sought to divert her attention from the mistakes she had committed. For this purpose her mother was making arrangements to go with her to Europe within a short time and allow her to take paining lessons in Paris and to travel for the purpose of relieving her mind of the mental anguish which gave her many sleepless nights. It came to the knowledge of her family a short time ago that she was having some communications with her husband. Her father had a conversation with her in regard to the matter, and advised her to consult her own heart with regard to any action she might take in the matter; that if she thought it possible that she could live and be happy with Mr. Bulkley, he advised her to make another trial. She then told! her father of her distress of mind; but finally concluded that she wo uld write a note to Mr. Bulkley proposing to join him again if such was his desire. This was on Tuesday evening last. On Wednesday morning she bought the fatal drug, which was arsenic, and took it about breakfast time. When she became sick from the effects of it she called for her father and told him what she had done, and begged of him to help her; that she was sorry and wanted to get well. Physicians were called and it was thought for a time that she would recover. She lingered from Wednesday morning until Thursday evening about 9 o’clock when she died. Since her return home from her husband the family have been particularly attentive to her wants, and have indulged her in all her wishes, hoping that time would relieve her mental suffering. To the outside world she has appeared as cheerful as usual, has visited friends and acquaintances, and every effort has been made by all to cheer her and make her happy. But all to no purpose. The poor girl took her own life because she was too unhappy to live. The nature of Mrs. Bulkley’s death, it was naturally supposed, would require some action on the part of the Coroner, but this, that gentleman declared last night, was an erroneous impression. “I know nothing about the matter,” said Coroner Patterson last night when a reporter called on him. “I do not expect to take any action unless the Health Office is dissatisfied with the certificate furnished by Dr. Johnson, in which case I will be called upon to make an investigation.” “But is it not the duty of the coroner to investigate every case where death results from other than natural causes? Asked the reporter. “Not at all,” replied Dr. Patterson. I will be satisfied with the certificate furnished by Dr. Johnson, and unless the Health Officer thinks further investigation necessary, I shall not feel called upon to take any steps in the matter.” The certificate which is to satisfy the coroner, however, has not yet been filed in the Health Office and Dr. Johnson admitted to the reporter last night that as yet it had not been made out. In the meantime preparations for the funeral of Mrs. Bulkley are being made, and the funeral will take place this morning from the residence of Judge Hillyer. Rev. Dr. SHIPPEN, pastor of All Soul’s Church, will officiate. The death of Ms. Bulkley was the absorbing topic of conversation all over the city last night, and conjectures concerning the cause of her suicide were numerous. The explanation accepted by most of the friends of the young lady is that her troubles since her marriage had unseated her reason. Of these, several friends told the reporter that they thought that Mrs. Bulkley had been insane, and many instances were related to corroborate this story. Several days ago, Mrs. Bulkley went to visit a lady friend, and while there her friend noticed that she had had her hair cut off close to her head. “Why did you have that done?” inquired the lady. “I don’t know,” said Mrs. Bulkley Then her friend observed that she wore one brown and one black glove and inquired the reason. Mrs. Bulkley looked at her hands in a puzzled manner and again replied that she did not know. This started the rumor that she was losing her mind, and her death on Thursday night served to confirm the suspicion. The terrible mental anguish that had produced this result and had changed a beautiful and apparently happy bride into a miserable and half-demented woman, who, to end her troubles, ended also her existence, and all in the course of a few short months, has yet to be explained. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Mr. Bulkley and Judge Hillyer were both seen by a Post reporter last night and both refused either to confirm or deny the report. Mr. Bulkley said that he had remained quiet about the whole matter and did not propose to say anything now. Judge Hillyer thought the affair had received sufficient publicity and he would not state what future action would be taken. The bridegroom pursues the even tenor of his way, quietly attending to his duties as clerk in the Bank of Washington, while the bride has sought shelter beneath her father’s roof. Judge Hillyer would not say what had caused Mrs. Bulkley to return to his house or whether another reconciliation between the young people was likely to follow. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Mr. and Mrs. Grassie Bulkley spent the first night of their postponed honeymoon at the house of Mrs. Capt. Greer, one of their friends, at 2010 Hillyer Avenue, near Dupont Circle. Yesterday Dr. Bulkley secured a suite of rooms for the young folks at The Windsor, corner of 15th Street and New York Avenue, which they will immediately occupy. They inspected the suite and approved of the quarters. Mrs. Bulkley spent a part of the day yesterday at her old home attending to the details of packing her wardrobe and belongings for removal to The Windsor. The wedding trip is, for the present, in abeyance, but is by no mean abandoned. It has not been definitely determined but Mr. and Mrs. Bulkley will probably commence housekeeping in the early spring. Mrs. Bulkley is an accomplished housekeeper and has, like many other society young ladies, for a long time done the marketing for her father’s house. The young couple are at present receiving only intimate friends and members of their families. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Last night Mrs. Grassie Bulkley, nee Bessie Hillyer, accompanied her husband as his acknowledged wife to the house of a mutual friend near Dupont Circle. In this one sentence is condensed the story of a three-volume novel. A week ago last Tuesday morning, Miss Bessie Hillyer, the fiancee of Mr. W. L. Trenholm, son of the Comptroller of the Currency, left her father’s house on Massachusetts avenue, met Grassie Bulkley, son of Dr. J. W. Bulkley, by appointment, and accompanied him to Baltimore, where they were married in the presence of one witness, Mr. Antonia Nogueiras. They immediately returned to Washington, the young lady going to her father’s house to break the news and the youthful husband returning likewise to his home. The whole affair was a thunderbolt from a comparatively clear sky in social circles and the ceaseless tongue of gossip wagged faster than ever when the elopement was followed after a week’s delay by the filing of a bill for divorce by the young lady’s father, with her alleged consent, in which bill fraudulent artifice, misrepresentation, threats, and various other offenses were charged against the defendant. This summary proceeding brought matters to a crisis a! t once. While Judge Hillyer’s anger had in no degree abated, his prudence was perhaps appealed to by the knowledge that a writ of habeas corpus would quickly bring the young lady into court, and then it would be speedily made manifest whether she was still a free agent or not. With this in view, and with possibly a knowledge that the bill rested on shaky foundations as to both facts and law, there was no great difficult experienced in bring about an interview between two judicious friends representing both families. The next step was to ascertain the state of mind of the young folks. They were brought together yesterday morning in the office of Judy Cady, opposite the Corcoran building, on F street. Mr. Grassie Bulkley’s feelings needed no exposition. The tender light of true love beamed from his eyes as he beheld for the first time since the day of the marriage the face and form of his young bride. On her part there was more composure. With features slightly paled with a week’s confinement and somewhat of medication, through flashes of color chased the lilies from her cheeks, in a clear, deliberate voice she stated in the presence of witnesses her position and desires. “This gentleman,” said she, turning to Mr. Grassie Bulkley, “is my true and lawful husband. He has practiced on me no deception, told me no untruths. I accompanied him to Baltimore and married him of my own free will. I still love him and have at no time ceased to love him. I am willing and desirous of living with him as his wife.” While she was speaking young Bulkley, scarcely able to restrain himself, crept nearer to his blooming bride, and as she finished and, turning her beaming eyes upon the husband of her choice, held out her hands, seized her in his arms. The younger witness considerately turned away and a bald-headed old lawyer, who thinks he is the hardest-hearted, flintiest, coldest, most immovable rock of ages in the United Sates, fairly sobbed into an enormous pocket handkerchief, blew his nose tremendously and then fell industriously to wiping his glasses as he thought of the days when he was young. The result of the meeting, of course, was the immediate withdrawal of the bill for divorce. A Post reporter interviewed Dr. Bulkley last evening concerning the whole subject. “Yes,” said he, “the suit for divorce is withdrawn. The young people had an interview this morning for the first time since their separation on the day of the marriage, and there was no doubt left as to their uncontrolled purpose to live together. Accordingly they are doing so, as I hear. They went at once to the house of a mutual friend, near Dupont Circle. Of course the withdrawal of the suit, coupled with the uncontrolled action today, shows whether or not my son was guilty of deception, coercion or any intentional fraud, and here the matter must end on my part.” Judge Hillyer was invisible last evening, but those who know him well say that he will not long play the obdurate father to his only daughter. Of course the bride and groom were carefully secluded from the public eye, but an intimate friend of the young couple says that they will shortly make a wedding tour of considerable duration throughout the South. Mrs. Bulkley’s trousseau is in perfect condition and but a few days will be needed for preparation. Shortly after their return, it is said, they will set up an establishment in one of the beautiful new houses just completed at the corner of Fifteenth and O Streets by Judge Hillyer, and as both fathers have very capacious and very well-lined pockets, the wolf will never show his cruel fangs at the young folks’ door. Senator Stewart, who has been Miss Hillyer’s legal adviser, was found in his cozy study at 1707 Rhode Island Avenue last night. “It has the effect of settling the entire matter,” was his response to the first question propounded. “All legal proceedings are stopped, and the young people will live together. “What were the circumstances?” “Mr. Hillyer and his counsel acted, they understood, according to the desires of the young lady in commencing proceedings to annul the marriage. The parents and counsel of the young man, Bulkley, expressed a strong desire that the marriage should be annulled if that were the desire of the young lady. It was thought best by those having charge on both sides that the young people should meet and have a free conversation, and then the case should be prosecuted or dismissed, as the young lady should desire after such meeting. The meeting took place at Judge Cady’s office, and, after the interview, the young lady informed Judge Cady and myself that she desired to have the case dismissed and to live with Mr. Bulkley as his wife.” “What are their plans for the future?” I can’t say where they intend to live, or what their plans are. The marriage, under the circumstances, has been the occasion of unhappiness and regret, but in extenuation it must be borne in mind that both of the parties are young and inexperienced. They are also of good family, well educated and intelligent; the world is before them, and there is no reason why they may not make everybody rejoice by their future prosperity and happiness. That is certainly the wish of their friends; they can have no enemies. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

No answer has yet been made to the bill filed Tuesday by Judge Hillyer asking that the marriage between his daughter and Grassie Bulkley be set aside and annulled as void and illegal. A Post reporter called upon Dr. Bulkley last night and asked him what his position was in the matter and what steps would be taken. “In answer to your inquiry,” said the doctor, courteously, “and speaking for myself, I wish my son could be rid of the consequences of that marriage ceremony, but he must be protected against any charge of intentional fraud or coercion. So much I can say now, at any rate, and further I do not care to speak tonight.” Dr. Bulkley was closeted with his legal adviser when the reporter called, and while he is inclined to be reticent there seems strong probability that an answer may be filed to the bill in a few days. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Another chapter in the affair which has lately been an interesting subject of conversation among the social acquaintances of Miss Bessie Hillyer and Mr. Grassie Bulkley was developed yesterday at City Hall. About noon a bill was filed entitled “Bessie G. Hillyer, by her Next Friend, Curtis J. Hillyer, vs. Grassie Bulkley.” The first thing that attracts attention on opening the document is a certificate of marriage marked “Exhibit A.” It certifies that on the 20th of December 1887, at 1031 East Monument Street, Grassie G. Bulkley and Bessie G. Hillyer were united in marriage in Baltimore. The paper is signed by W. M. Ferguson, pastor, North Baltimore Methodist Episcopal Church. The bill asserts that the complainant, who is 18 years old, and the defendant, aged 20, were married as indicated by the certificate. This marriage ceremony, however, it is claimed, was and is invalid and void, and no legal marriage, in fact, took place, as the complainant never legally consented to it. Such formal consent as was given by her was obtained by fraudulent artifice and misrepresentation, and by threats of such a character as absolutely to deprive her of the power to give a rational consent. Further, the laws of Maryland forbid the celebration of any marriage ceremony in the city of Baltimore except in pursuance of a license previously issued by the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and also provides that no such license shall issue for the marriage of any male person under 21 years of age without the written consent of his parents, properly attested by the signature of two witnesses, or unless the parents go before the clerk and personally consent. The defendant is only 20 years of age, his birthday having occurred in August last. He had not complied with the law as to parental consent and obtained the license by falsely swearing before the clerk that he was 21 years of age. He knew at the time that his statement was false, and made it with the fraudulent purpose of securing an immediate celebration of the marriage, before she could have time to recover such condition of mind as would enable her to act as a free agent. In making this oath, he committed perjury. “By reason of the above facts,” says the bill, “the said marriage was not legal or binding.” There has never been any consummation of the marriage, says the bill, but immediately upon the completion of the ceremony, she returned directly to this city, to the home of her parents (neither of whom had any knowledge of the marriage until her return), where she has since resided without having seen Bulkley. Messrs. J. H. Ralston and William Stewart are Miss Hillyer’s solicitors. A Post reporter called upon Judge Hillyer last evening; but he did not care to supplement the legal steps already taken with an interview, remarking that the proceedings would speak for themselves. There is no attempt on the part of the Bulkley family to claim that Grassie Bulkley is of age. A friend of the Bulkleys said last night that, while Grassie’s hasty action in marrying Miss Hillyer was entirely unexpected and a blow to the family, they would stand by him now that Judge Hillyer had adopted an aggressive course. “Blood is thicker than water,” said the friend, “and when the Bulkley blood is up they will see the thing through to the end. They are to be neither scared nor bulldozed. And I want to say again emphatically that there was not the slightest hint of coercion or undue influence on Grassie Bulkley’s part to persuade the young lady. The legal points I will leave to the lawyers; but how can any one talk of coercion when Miss Hillyer had spent the night at home, left her father’s house, met young Bulkley by previous appointment, rode along with him to Baltimore, went to a minister’s house and was left there by him, while he returned to the depot to meet Nogueiras? During all this time wouldn’t she, a girl of great presence of mind and strong will, have recovered the self-control she is alluded to have lost and refused to proceed? It is absurd to suppose otherwise.” Mrs. Bulkley, the mother of Grassie Bulkley, was seen last evening by a Post reporter. “Dr. Bulkley has been very busy all day attending to his professional duties, and has had but a very brief consultation with his legal adviser. Nothing definite has been determined as to what steps will be taken, or what counsel will be employed. Grassie’s action was a great surprise to us all, but he has always been a dutiful and obedient son, and it would be unnatural for us to stand by and see him maligned by such charges as that he had coerced Miss Hillyer or used undue influence. From what I have seen of her, she seems to have a very decided will of her own. Grassie has neither seen, communicated, nor attempted to communicate with her since their marriage, and he is very sensibly listening to the advice of his parents and elder brothers.” Dr. Bulkley, when seen last, simply said that these were his sentiments. The defendant in the case of Hillyer vs. Bulkley will not be obliged to put in an appearance in court before the 1st of February next, nor to file an answer to the bill served on him yesterday before the 1st of March. Under the most favorable conditions a decree in the case could not be rendered until six months. Rather than keep the public in suspense concerning the probable reply of the defendant, the Post reporter has consulted eminent counsel as to the legal points on the Bulkley side of the case. “In the first place,” said the eminent counsel, “the weight of evidence is presumably against ‘fraudulent artifice, misrepresentations and threats which absolutely deprived her of the power to give a rational consent.’” “The young lady leaves her father’s house alone and commits several specific acts, each of which testify to her willingness to marry young Bulkley. She moreover, by word of mouth, testifies to the same effect in responding to the marriage ceremony. “Second, while the Maryland law forbids the issuing of a marriage license to a minor without the consent of his parents, the injunction and penalty for its infraction rest on the clerk of the court and not on the applicant, nor does its infraction in any degree nullify or invalidate the marriage. There was no perjury on the part of Bulkley, for there was no oath taken. They are married as tightly as the law can do it. “Now if the Bulkleys choose to push this matter, they might, as a first step, young Bulkley suing through his father, get out a write of habeas corpus and have the young lady brought into court to see if she is not acting under restraint, duress, coercion, undue influence, threats, etc., or if she be not restrained of her liberty. Then he could demand the custody of her person. If she should refuse to go with him, he would then have presumable cause for action against Judge Hillyer for alienating the affections of his wife and depriving him of her services and companionship. Oh, no, the case is not one-sided by any means.” The whole matter still affords subject for conversation in social circles. “Grassie didn’t show a bit of sense,” said a blooming 18 year old girl at a K Street reception yesterday. “He ought to have taken Bessie to Philadelphia or New York, put up at the best hotel in the city, waited three or our days, and then telegraphed Judge Hillyer like this: “Dearest Papa: Bessie and I are very well. But this hotel is awfully expensive, and the bill is just running up dreadfully. Please send check. Yours dutifully, Grassie Bulkley.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

It had scarcely recovered from the Carroll-Bancroft affair, when Mr. E. Berry Wall gave it a spasm by marrying Miss Melbourne out of hand and in his traveling clothes. Society’s trembling hand was still pressed to its beating heart over that affair, when the runaway marriage of Mr. Grassie Bulkley and Miss Bessie Hillyer Tuesday afternoon fairly set it out on its head. Both parties are well-known in social circles. Mr. Bulkley is the youngest son of Dr. J. W Bulkley and is a clerk in the Bank of Washington, while Miss Hillyer is the only daughter of Judge C. J. Hillyer, of the law firm of Hillyer and Ralston, and was one of the most promising debutantes of two winters ago. The story of the marriage, while affording columns of gossip, can be briefly told. Young Bulkley met Miss Hillyer by appointment Tuesday morning; they took the train for Baltimore, where Mr. Bulkley procured the marriage license. He then escorted his intended bride to the house of Rev. Mr. Ferguson, of the Monument Methodist Episcopal Church. Leaving her there he went to the depot and met Mr. Tony Nogueiras, son of the Portuguese Minister. He had asked young Nogueiras to meet him in Baltimore, but without telling the purpose of the request. The faithful friend was on hand. Together they returned to the minister’s and the ceremony was performed, Nogueiras being the sole witness of the event, besides the minister and contracting parties. They immediately returned to Washington and rode directly to the Nogueiras mansion. Tony Nogueiras went in quest of Mr. Bulkley’s brother, Barry Bulkley, who was sent to break the news to his family while the young bride returned to her home and announced her change of name to her astounded parents. What makes the affair more remarkable is the fact that Miss Hillyer was engaged to Mr. W. L. Trenholm, son of the Controller of Currency, her trousseau being completed and the invitations ready to send out for the wedding, which was set for early in February. An intimate friend of the Bulkley family in conversation with a Post reporter last night made the following statement: “Grassie Bulkley has known Miss Hillyer since childhood, they have been intimate friends, and her parents interposed no objection at all to M. Bulkley’s constant association with her. It is very reasonable to suppose that the young people were strongly attached, and that it was a love match. The engagement with Mr. Trenholm was never formally broken, but Miss Hillyer cared nothing for him, and it was impossible for her to marry him. The Trenholms have been in Washington only during this Administration, and young Trenholm made her acquaintance not longer ago than last winter. He has never live! d here, but has resided in Philadelphia where he is an assistant bank examiner, coming to this city occasionally to visit his fiancee. There had been some quarrel, I think, between Miss Hillyer and Trenholm; at any rate, she would not marry him under any circumstances.” Mr. Barry Bulkley, brother of the groom, corroborated the above statement, and, speaking for his brother, said: “My brother and his wife, while awaiting developments, have, nevertheless, decided views as to their future, should parental sanction not be forthcoming. “Let me say one thing for my brother,” continued he; “there was neither force, fraud, nor undue influence in this marriage. The young lady acted of her own free will and accord, and the marriage is as legal and binding as though it had received full parental sanction.” The father of the young Benedict, Dr. J. W. Bulkley, lives at 805 Twelfth Street, is one of the longest-established practicing physicians in Washington, is president of the District Medical Association, and stands high in his profession. The family is one of the oldest in America, being lineally descended from the Rev. Peter Bulkley, who came over in the Mayflower. Ex- Lieutenant Governor Bulkley, of Connecticut, is a connection. The doctor’s sons are fine looking young men. Mr. Barry Bulkley is first assistant instructor at the Emerson Institute of this city. Mr. Robert Bulkley is with Crane & Parris, and the hero of the hour is, as stated, a clerk in the bank of Washington. Judge Hillyer, the father of the bride, was seen at his home, 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, last night by a Post reporter. “I consider,” said he, “that undue influence was used to induce my daughter to take the rash step. There had been nothing between her and this young man but what you might call schoolmate friendship. He and some of his companions persuaded her to accompany him to Baltimore and go through the ceremony. She is of legal age, having just passed her 18th birthday. It is useless to deny that the ceremony took place but as soon as she returned home and thought of what she had done she repudiated her action, and says that she will have nothing to do with young Bulkley. Steps will be immediately taken to contest the legality of the ceremony, and have it set aside. They are no more to each other than though they had never met. But the matter will keep society agog for weeks. This is the third elopement within a month, and the season is not fairly open. When the lightning will strike next cannot even be conjectured. “Gad,” said one of a group of swells in the lobby of Albaugh’s last night, “where is this thing going to stop? Two or three couples in a month! Demme, if I don’t think I know what’s at the bottom of it all. It’s economy, me boy. No big trousseaux, no expensive wardrobes, no heavy traveling expenses, no swell wedding; just a license and a five dollar note for the parson, and it’s just as hard a knot as can be made. A couple of winters ago there was a young couple eloped here in this city. The girl was half-way down the ladder and got scared and commenced to whimper, when her mother stuck her head out of the window and whispered: ‘Don’t be afraid, Dodie, I’ll steady the ladder.’ You see, the old man had been hard hit in the wheat market, and it saved a lot of expense to let the girl slide out of the second-story window.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

An accident occurred between 4 and 5 o’clock this morning to last night’s mail train on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, near Clover, 96 miles from Richmond, which resulted in 5 persons being injured, as follows: B. F. GRAVELY of Virginia, fatally; O. E. PARKER of New York and a Mr. ZEUTMEYER of Virginia, both seriously; F. M. IRONMONGER, of Baltimore and Mrs. HEISER of Macon, Georgia, slightly. The train had been stopped on the main track to coal the box of the tender and the train officers had failed to signal a freight train coming from the same direction. The result was that the rear end of the sleeper attached to the mail train was telescoped by the engine of the freight train, badly mashing the sleeper and freight engine, and injuring the persons named. Other cars of both trains were also damaged. The railroad company immediately summoned medical aid from the neighborhood and this city to attend the injured. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

RUSSELL, who shot JAMES HARNEY last night during a party riot, was arrested this morning and taken up to the general hospital, and identified by HARNEY as the one who shot him. When RUSSELL was being returned to the central station, an excited mob tried to get hold of them, advancing amid cries of “lynch him,” while they surrounded the cab. The police however, succeeded in beating back the rioters. Threats to shoot Orangemen on sight are freely made. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

A few weeks ago there died in this city J. B. WEEKS, known as “FATTY WEEKS,” from his immense bulk. WEEKS came here after the war and started a disreputable saloon, which has been the resort of the most vicious characters. Just before his death, he told MRS. WHITTINGTON a most romantic story of murder and pillage. He accused himself of having killed, with the aid of a pal, no less than 5 men, whose bodies, he said would be found, together with a large sum of money, beneath the floor of his saloon. The disclosure was to be made to the police four weeks after his death. Mrs. WHITTINGTON told her story today, and a good deal of excitement has been occasioned. The ground beneath the floor has been dug up to a depth of four feet, but as yet nothing has been found. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

A number of distinguished officials, Senators, and Representatives, with other prominent citizens and their families, filled the body of the church. The graduates were M. O. CHRISTIAN of Ohio; W. W. TOWNSEND and CAROLINE A. BURGHARDT of Massachusetts; A. A. FITTS and S. F. STAGG of New York; J. O. W. MARQUESS of Maryland; J. F. SHOBER of North Carolina; NANNIE W. STAFFORD of New Jersey, and J. Q. A. TRESIZE of Pennsylvania. Dr. TOWNSEND, the valedictorian, is a gentleman under the medium size, light complexion, sandy hair, a graduate in the arts of Harvard University, and bearing the reputation of decided ability. Dr. NANNIE W. STAFFORD, of Elizabeth, is a deep brunette about 22 years old, tall and imposing in presence, weighing probably 160 pounds, large black eyes and very handsome features. She was dressed in a rich black silk, cut high neck and en traine. Her luxuriant black hair was twisted up and worn in artistic style at the back of the head and ornamented with a pink bon soline rosebud, festooned with a spray of smilax. Button gaiters, No. 2 in size, enclosed her feet, and diamond earrings hung pendant from her ears. Her other ornaments were a handsome gold watch chain and bracelets, and cameo gold encircled finger rings. A rich lace collar, four inches deep, surrounded her neck. Upon receiving her diploma, she was presented with thirteen or fourteen bouquets. Dr. CAROLINE A BURGHARDT, of Great Barrington, Mass, now a clerk in the Light House Board, is a slender blonde, weighing about 110 pounds with classic features, light hair and blue eyes. Her toilet was a handsome black silk, trimmed with velvet, a narrow lace collar around her neck, and No. 2-1/2 laced boots clothing her feet. Her hair was combed back from her forehead and done up in a twist, kept coiled by a tortoise shell comb. She wore no ornaments. When her diploma was handed her the audience signified its approval by hearty applause and seemed disposed to bury her flowers, as the junior class was kept busy in handing her bouquets, 27 of which were piled up and around her. Three handsomely bound medical works were also presented her. A pleasing feature of the exercises consisted of two little girls, about four and six years of age, handsome as fairies, who staggered up the steps to the pulpit with bouquets nearly as large as themselves, which they laid at the feet ! of the handsome Doctora. The exercises commenced with prayer, followed by music and a charge to the class by Prof. D. S. LAMB, M. D., in which he gave them special directions to observe hygienic regulations, and particularly invited them to cultivate the acquaintance of old midwives, druggists, and nurses. The valedictory address of Dr. W. W. TOWNSEND was an admirable treatise on chronic gout, the pains and agonies of which he softened by a very pleasing farewell to his companions and preceptors. Dr. R. S. WATTS delivered an address to the Alumni, and Hon. G. B. LORING of Massachusetts, preceded the benediction, after which the new doctors went home to their skeletons and the audience to their beds. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
