Much surprise was occasioned in this city by the announcement in the "Richmond Times-Dispatch" of the marriage at Saint Louis, Mo., of Blanche M. English and Eugene P. McKenny, formerly of this city. Mr. McKenny was for some time chief clerk in the Southern Railway office here, and was highly esteemed and respected. Miss English is the daughter of Capt. Samuel English.

A dispatch from St. Louis, Mo. says:
"A qiuet wedding was the outcome Saturday of a lengthy journey made several
days ago by Miss Blanche M. English, of Alexandria. Va., in order to be at the
bedside of her allianced husband, Eugene P. McKenney. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father McKenney, of
Eilicot City, Md., at the rectory of St. Francis Xavier's Church, Grand Avenue, and Lintlell Boulevard, at 11 o'clock. The officiating priest is a brother of the bridegroom. The wedding followed a romance begun in Alexantlria eight years ago, while McKenney was chief clerk of the Southern Railway at that place. It
was there the young couple plighted their troth. It was not long after this that the road officials assigned McKenney to Washnington, D. C., and finally to the East St. Louis position. The young man applied himself assidiously to his duties, hoping to go to Virginia at an early date to claim his bride, but events
did not occur as had been hoped and the wedding date was set for the coming fall.
Several weeks ago McKenney became ill and was sent to a St. Louis hospital.
His recovery was slow, and Miss English, with the spirit of a true southern woman,
came to St. Louis to be at the bedside of her affianced husband. From the moment of her arrival McKenney naturally began to Improve. Two days ago the patient was able to leave the hospital, and the wedding was arranged forthwith. As Father McKennney, the groom's brother, was already prisent, it was decided
that he should officiate at the marriage. The couple left on the Wabash train Saturday noon for Chicago, to spend their honeymoon. McKenney had been granted a leave of absence from his duties and will take an extensive trip to recover his health. The couple will reside in St. Louis. During her sojourn in St. Louis, Miss English, now Mrs. McKenny, stopped with Chief Clerk Burroughs, of the Southern Railway, who resides at 4553 A Cleveland Avenue. Officials of the Southern Railway speak in the highest terms of Mr. McKenney. His bride is a beautiful and cultured Virginia girl.
