A BIG “CAST”— THE
Evil Fortune*
DESERTED VILLAGE— LIGHT
NING BUG LAMPS.
Romt, April 28, 1873.
Your correspondeut is troubled with a se
vere cold and bad cough, occasioned by the
severe weather we have experienced in the
past few days, and which has rendered him as
dull ns a country stage when the actors are
off. I have never known the month of April
to indulge in such untoward capers, caprices,
and coquetries, as it has done this year, or
nature to be so fantastical. Confound the
jade, ’tis a pity that nature had not been of
the masculine gender iustead of being made
a dame; then almanac makers might have cal
culated with some degree of certainty. I
might Lave forgiven these vagaries had
they not so completely “knocked up” your
correspondent, whoso health i« at the mercy
of the weather cock, and whose spirits ri?e
and fall with the mercury of a barometer.
Yet a letter has been promised and I must
grind out something.
ROME SOCIALLY
was never happier than she has been lor the
last few days. About the time of my arrival
•she awoke from a lethargy of dullness, in
whieh she had been indulging for some time
past, donned her best clothes, put on her
dancing shoes, and commenced “tripping the
light fantastic” and participating in other
tnjoyable festivities. Your correspondent
passed three nights in Home, and attended
two dances and an amature minstrel perform
ance given by the young men of tho “liiU
Cny.”
THE SHOW
was very good, taking all things into con
sideration. 1 think 1 havo attended worso
minstrel entertainments, and truly beliove
that each of the performers did his best.
This is all that can bo expected from any
one.
THE PARTIES
were both well attended and very enjoyable af
fairs, especially the latter. During my absence
from the “Mountain City,” I find that several
brilliant stars have arisen to brighten the fir
mament ot fashion; among the number I have
discovered another planet, which rivals Venus
in lustre, and I claim equal honor with Her-
schell for my discovery. I shall take some
future opportunity to describe this planet and
the numerous satellites which revolve around
it. The old belles are as fascinating as in
quondam da} 8. The young people of Home
have on the tapis for the first of next week a
picnic to Woodstock Iron Works, a boat ex
cursion down the Coosa, and a concert to be
given by the pupils of Mrs. Henderson. I
will speak of the picnic to Woodstock in an
other portion of my letter. If Home persists
iu the*c festivities, the “Mountain City” will
bo one of the most pleasant summer resorts
m the State for pleasure seekers.
ROME RELIOIOU8LY
is not ro demonstrative as she was before tho
black 6heep was discovered in the Methodist
fold, and wo find very few who persist in
turning their arm chairs into a pulpit now.
ROME FINANCIALLY
has suffered severely from investments in
cotton futures, and toe merchants complain
of a great seal city of money. Yet tho retail
trade is remarkably good lor this season of
the year, and the large wholesale trade which
who enjoys is very encouraging to her jobbing
houses. Both J. & S. Bones & Co., and
McWilliams & Co., are kept busy filling
orders.
HER MANUFACTORIES.
The Romo Foundry and Iron Manufacturing
Company are both straining every nerve to
fill their orders. The nails made by the
above company have achieved a reputation
lor durability which extends through three or
more States and causes a great item and for
these nails throughout the South. Messrs.
Noble A Co. find some difficulty in supplying
car wheels to their many patrons. I am told
that the W T estern and Atlantic railroad u. e
their wheels exclusively.
On visiting the Home Stove and IIollow-
varo Manufacturing Company, of which Seay
A Walkei are agents, I found that they were
tolao crowded with work. They keep con
stantly employed from fifty to sixty
workmeu, and make from 10,000 to 13,00o
pounds of castings per day. They showed
me some boxes which they were casting for
a hot blast furnace at liartow Iron Works,
which weighed from 4,500 to 5,000 pounds
a piece. These are the heaviest castings ever
made in Georgia, so I am told. The compa
ny have contracts for furnishing boxes and
all the other castingsneeded at Stonewall and
the Alabama Iron Works. They are making
these castings for the same price that is
charged by Northern iron works, saving the
purchaser the freight. On account of having
to till these contracts they are unable now to
give proper attention to the stove and hollow
ware business, and are only making enough
now to supply the demand of their patrons.
They will commence manufacturing before the
foil trade opens to their full capacity, which is
about 2C5 tons per diem, together with all ac
companiments and other hollow ware.
LOMB TO BE LLPRESEMTED AT VIENNA.
Mr. Seay showed me a letter from Mr. Slay-
maker, of Atlanta, ordering a large number ol
desks to be made by this company, and solic
ited them to fill a portion of the ordeT speed
ily, as he wished to exhibit the desk at the
Vienna Exposition.
Tn going from Rome to Selma I passed nine
different iroa furnaces, cither in completion
or under erection, and fiud that there is at
least a half a score in contemplation—all to be
built along this, the S. It. A D. R. R. I take
this opportunity of paying the aforementioned
read a compliment which it justly merits.
THL SELMA, ROME AND DALTON B. E.
is oae of the best in the South. All the north
ern division of this road is laid with new track
fish-bar connection. The schedule on this
line in, I think, the fastest in the South, to-
wit: 25 miles per hour, including stoppages.
On my way I stopped one day at Jackson
ville, Ala., which is one ot the eldest towns in
the State, and is noted for the beauty of her
daughters, and is the happy possessor of
wuter-works. Jacksonville is a counterpart
of Goldsmith’s “Deserted Village”; and has
nn air about it which speaks of discouraged
enterprise and failing fortunes—whether her
lack of the same enterprise, which ie shown
by her younger sister town is attributable to
her decrepid old age, or not, I am not able to
say. A slanderer from Rome, whom I
chanced to meet there, did Jacksonville the
injustice to say that the town was dead, and
the only reason why the citizens did not bury
it was, the expense of the funeral obaequies.
I will do Jacksonville the justice tc say that she
enjoys this signal advantage over both Rome
and Atlanta, she has fewer houses, and you
have less difficulty in seeing the town. I
afro saw from experience that the town shows
to a much greater advantage in gammer when
she is lit up with lightning bugs. Thine,
Slashed.
April 29, 1873.
On my return I stopped at Woodstock, and
joimd the picnickers from Rome. Found a
very large crowd. All epoke highly of the
manner in which they had been entertained.
1 uui convinced from the enthusiastic manner
in which the beaux of Rome alluded to the
pleasures of the day, that they had punished
much lunch, aud bad enjoyed hugely wan
dering through winding of the “mazy" to the
music of ill-timed fiddle, played by an awk
ward hand, pledging their “sweets” in branch
water and lazily lounging under the pines of
Woodstock whiflpering “silly nothings” into
the ears of tho over willing maidens. I have
been there.
From the number of compliments peid the
Herald, and other things, I have noted this
conspicuously ia my register of indisputable
facts, to-wit:
THE ATLANTA HERALD
is decidedly the favorite Georgia paper with
the Romans.
EXTRAORDINARY CAREER Ot A VIRGINIA HORSE
THIEF—FOUR YEARS A FUGITIVE— AL
BERT .FORTUNE, A MULATTO
DESPERADO, AND HIS
ADVENTURES.
Richmond, Va., April 23, 1873.
One of the most daring and noted horse
thieves Virginia has ever produced—and she
boasts of a good many desperadoes of this
sort just now—made his last and most re
markable escape from the cars of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg aud Potomac Rail
road while being conveyed from Baltimore to
the Penitentiary here to serve out his term of
imprisonment for thirteen years. His name
is Albert Fortune, a bright mulatto, five feet
in height, well built, with great muscular de
velopment, dark, wavy hair, and eyes that
glare, when excited, like calcium light.
SpottsylTania county was the scene of his
greatest exploits until 18G9, when he was ar
rested, tried, and convicted of stealing a
mnle, aud was sentenced to thirteen years in
the penitentiary. He did not remain long
in that institution, however, for he made his
escape by
jumping prom a parapet
wall forty feet high. He next turned up in
Washington as a huckster iu the markets
there. He was not permitted to pursue his
calling without interruption, but it so hap
pened that whenever an effort was made to
deprive him of liberty, he either by artifice
or by desperate resistance, managed to elude
the officers. He all the time proclaimed that
he would never be taken alive, and the fact
that he shot the officer at Fredericksburg,
who attempted his arrest before his convic
tion, furnished proof that he meant what he
said. On one occasion lie was traced to Alex
andria and surprised in a negro hut by three
policemen, but instead of resisting he played
the fox. Being in his shirt sleeves, he asked
to go up stairs after his coat, saying he would
then go with them anywhere. Ilis request
was granted, when he returned, not coat in
hand, but
WITH COCKED PISTOLS,
and before the officers could recover from their
surprise was gone again. Sometime time af
ter this Lieutenant Kelly, of the Washington
police, who knew nothing of Fortune or his
antecedents, caught him in tho streets with a
bag of stolen boots and shoes. Lieutenant
Kelly proceeded to arrest him; but Fortune,
not to be so easily secured, as quick as
thought drew’ a pistol and sent a ball whistling
by the head of his would-be captor. The
Lioutenaut fired in return three times, wound
ing but not disabling him. He, however, got
away, and, it was afterward ascertained, went
to Howard University, where he received med
ical care. Thence he was traced to an alley in
the heart of the city, near Pennsylvania ave
nue, where friends aided him to elude further
pursuit He continued at large until April 7,
when he was arrested in Washington, and was
again lodged in the Penitentiary here, from
which he again escaped in the disguise of a
mason, having contrived to borrow a suit of
bricklayer's overalls.
A CHASE IN BALTIMORE.
Fortune next turned up in Baltimore, whero
a few days since, he was recognized by a for
mer citizen of Virginia, who gave information
to Sergeant Frazier and Police Barringer, of
that city, and they at once set about making
his arrest Fortune soon became aware of
his position, and as the officers advanced he
commenced the flight in time—John Gilpin
style. He ran up Baltimore to Liberty street,
and up Liberty to a house near Fayette,
where he tried a door, but found it locked.
This enabled the officers to gain on him, but
just as Policeman Barringer was about laying
hands on him, ho fell &nrl disabled his right
hand. Sergeaufc Frazier continued
the porsuit, followed by a large
crowd. Fortune finding h?m jelf hotly
pursued, took refuge in a house on
Liberty street, north of Fayette street, the
door of which he found open and ran up
stairs to the second floor, through two rooms,
overturning the furniture, and upsetting a
cradle in which a child lay asleep, and jump
ed through the second story window', carrying
the sash with him, and on to a shed and
thence to a yard, over fences, and finally
emerged on Lexington street, on the South
street corner, and entered an alley nearly op
posite. lie was hotly pursued by Sergeant
Frazier and Policcinau Baninger, who bad
been joined by several other officers. Through
the alley the escaped convict made his way to
the cellar of a soap factory, where a light hav-
bcen procured, he was
FINALLY CAPTURED,
but not before a policeman had drawn his
pistol and threatened to shoot him. He offer
ed the officers $-100 to let him off, but the
bribe was refused. The daring horse thief
was locked in the Middle Station House until
the arrival of Deputy Strother, of the Peniten
tiary here, to who he weft delivered on Mon
day. The Deputy started back here with his
prisoner heavily ironed both by tho ankles
and wrists. At about quarter past three yes
terday morning, and, just alter the train
which was bringing him hero had left Ash
land, Fotnne, who was seated beside Captain
Strother, desired the latter to take him to the
stove to warm himself. Strother thought
this quite a reasonable request, and so accom
panied the convict to the stove, near the rear
door of the car.
A LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
The two had not been tliero more than a
minute or two when a colored train hand
opened the door and came in, and Fortune,
seizing the opportunity, slipped behind him,
hopped out upon the platform and recklessly
jumped|it into the darkness. The train was
moving at the rate of about forty miles per
hour, and the alarm was immediately sounded
and every effort possible made to get the cn
gineer to stop it, but it was not brought to a
stand until it had gone more than three-quar
ters of a mile beyond the point where Fortune
had made hit escape.
A large number of horsemen have since
been scouring the country in the hope of se
curing the convict, but so far he has again
successfully eluded arrest.

Collapse of a Great Railway
Swindle.
From tho Inter-Ocean.
gentleman in official life, just arrived
from Costa Rica, brings information of tlio
final collapse of one of the greatest railway
swindles of the age, iu whieh nearly all the
prominent officers of that government were
nvolved. The scheme was the Costa Rica
Railroad Company. Two loans were success
fully placed, chiefly upon the English mar
ket, one lor $5,000,000, the otheTfor $12,000,-
000. Four million dollars were expended,
partly upon salaries to officers, partly upon
surveys, and to some extent upon actual
work. The remainder of $13,000,000 was
divided among members of tho ring. The
agent who negotiated the loan in London
set fortn that custom receipts were pledges
for the redemption of the principal and inter
est of the bonds, and the bonds bear this
pledge on tbeir face. In order to convince
English capitalists that the resources of Costa
Rica, and especially customs, were abundant
to secure the loan, the Minister of Finance
made a sham report to the President of that
republic, and the President transmitted it to
Congress, and it was ordered printed. This
represented that all the resources were about
five times us great as they Tenby vs ere. Iu the
same manner, in order to show a huge popu
lutioc, the Minisfc r of War xnado a report
representing the army at 30,000, and upon
that document the agent for the loan set np
the cluim that the population t-f the republic
was about 400,000. By such representations,
based upon a lull set of official reports manu
factured for the purpose, both loans were suc
cessfully placed upon tho market. The
whole scheme has now collapsed, aud the
bonds are comparatively worthless.
VAjnrczBXLT University.—The Knoxville
Press and Herald contains the following:
The Common Council of Nashville has
been rIow to oo-operato with the trustees of
the Vanderbilt University. Fivo hundred
thousand dollars are not an every day affair.
The papers, however, call tho citizens of
Nashville apathetic, and intimato a fear that
the little town of Edgefied, across the river,
may reap the advantages of Commodore Van
derbilt's gift to the Methodist Episcopal
Church Sonth. As the university is to be
commenced, and partially completed, bofore
the coming winter; and as Rs erection in
volves the spending of some one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for labor and ma
terial, it is a present object of very great in
terest to Naahrilla to obtain the location of
its sit# near tho city. It will bean orna
ment to all future time and enriched, as it
will be, by feture donations, it is worth a
struggle to secure.
