Bow the Dispensation Was Smr«d—The Groom Only 18 Years Old—Something A boat Miss Nirins, the Bride—A Former Pupil of Mu De Chantal Well Known in Wheeling. I - New Yokk,September 14.—The Tribune has the following sj>ecial from Augusta, Me.: "JamesG. Blaine, Jr., left Augusta to-day for New York. After the wedding, which was uuknowu to any other meml>er of the family, he returned to Augusta, leaving his wile in New York. He aecom ]allied his father to some of his meetings last wtek. The family were greatly as tonished to learn of the wedding. The young man is only IS years old and lie was expected to ret uni to college this mouth. The tide is a young lady whom he met in Augusta this summer while the family were at Kar Harbor. It is not known what the llitnre plans of the couple are. Few persons in Augusta yet know of the wed ding." bl'BPKHKD, BIT NOT A.VURY. The following is takeu from to-day's Sun: (ieneral Martin T. McMahon, eounsel for Colonel Nevins, said last evening that the report that the Nevins and Blaine families were angry at the marriage of James G. Blaine, Jr., and Miss Marie Nevins, was false. "The youug people are very youug," said the General, and their marriage has surprised everyone. What ever feeling there is, is of surprise, mingled, perhaps, with a little temporary disgust at their disregard, or, perhaps, evusion of the advice their elders would have given them. There is no anger in either family agaiust them. Mr. Walker Blaine, the groom's eldest brother, was comiug to this city on business last week, and made it a point to see his new sister-in-law. She is a very hcautiftil girl, really beautiful and I don't think that he disapproved of his brother's choice. "The youug people fell in love anil ar ranged matters Itefore they came to this eity," continued the General.
