Rome. a gay crrr—those M \ yr FA CTORIES “JTtTlURES — fLOURIfcHftKf 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. P— HOTELS.

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. HOWARD HOUSE BROAD STREET, Neatly Opposite Montgomery and Enfant*It. R.
