This might be the same John Doherty of whom you have a picture. He could have been promoted to Colonel by 1891. This item was with another, again from news of the past, dated February 20, 1885 that reports Miss Mary Moore and Patrick Doherty were married by Rev. Father Lawler in St. Mary's Church. These clippings were with things of Alice Long and William Doherty, son of Patrick and Mary Moore Doherty. We have no idea what the relationship might be...a relative, family friend, or just someone with the same surname.
