ecently Mr. W. M. Soper, one of the Ap-
on’« corps of writers, while walking np
jj r adway was accosted by n modestly dress
ed young man, who cordially grasped his
binds, Baying:
I am exceedingly glad that yon have ar-
d. Of course yon received oor telegram,

to see yon, I assure yon. The store is
ed for the day bnt yon mnst come aronnd

in a very short time, and yon esn return
Centneky a richer and a happier man."
Cr. Soper here soggested that this might
i case of mistaken identity.
Impossible," said the young man blandly,
‘ >nr name is Bartow, Henry Barlow of
lisville, isn’t it?”
fr. Soper politely replied in the negative,
the stranger overwhelmed him with apol-
es, adding that Mr. Soper's resemblace to
r. Bartow" was so remarkable that he
uld esteem it a great favor if he might be
milted to mention it to the real Mr. Bar-
, who was honrly expected on important
iness. Therefore, as an aet of kindness,
i!d he give him his name? Mr. Soper,
pecting something wrong, gave him the
ress of G. B. Damon, of Kansas City.
LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
Ir. Soper resumed his walk up Broadway,
before he reached his hotel his hand was
: :ed by another young gentleman, whose
b and manner were such as to inspire con-
>nce.
• My dear Mr. Damon, how do you do ?
is is indeed a pleasant surprise. How did
v i leave our good friends in Kansas City ?
ten did you arrive, and how long do yon
nain ? Where are yon stopping ? ”
Mr. Soper “sawit ” at once, and viewing
3 sun which he saw ahead as racier than
it which he might find in a theatre, he po-
*ly replied that he could not remember
lere he had seen tbe yonng gentleman, but
it his face was familiar.

Elberton on Friday last, by the peep of dawn
the colorod gentry began to enter town,
riding all sorts of animals, and driv
ing all sorts of vehicles. Beasts of
burden bad burdens to bear in truth, as
each one was loaded to the utmost capacity.
We saw more one-ox buggies on that day than
ever ^before' met our gaze. Men riding and
men walking, men drunk and men sober,
grave and gay, aged and young - all seemed to
think the occasion one for a general holiday
and jubilee. To the negro, indeed, it seemed
that hanging day was one that mast be en
joyed, and he fails in bis most positive duty
who neglects to look upon one of his species
swing from the gibbet into eternity.
As we said the crowd commenced coming
in early. The stream of negroes continued
unabated in volumo until about tbe middle
of the day. Tbe crowd of whites was not in-
bignihcunt, and many seemed to think it their
privilege, as well as duty, to take a drink.
These drinks were repeated at intervals, and
the result was a natural one—by the time the
hour of execution arrived there were many
drunken people in town.
THE SHERIFF’S GUARD,
composed of about sixty armed men, were
notified to assemble at the court bouse at ten
o’clock, but from pressing duties, tbe Sheriff
was unable to form them at that hour, and it
was cot until half past eleven that the guard
was formed and left the court house for
THE JAIL,
wbero was produced the condemned mao, who
now counted the moments of his life, though
in perfect health. Tbe jailer opened the door
of bis cell and the prisoner was brought forth.
The sheriff commenced binding arms and feet,
tying with a rope his elbows behind him, and
fastening his ankles so as to allow short steps.
Meantime,
THE PRISONER
looked on apparently unconcerned, his face
having a cheerful expression; one, a looker
on would think, totally unsuited to the sol
emn occasion. lie was free in conversation,
greeting every one who spoke to him with a
smile and cheering word. When asked if
he felt prepared to meet his fate, his reply,
expressed with a hearty confidence, was
“Yes, thank God l” He seemed to us to be
unnaturally cheerful. But few meet death
in the ordinary way with so mnch confidence
as was displayed by this man, knowing
death to be certain and inevitable. The
preparations all having been made, and West
freed from jail, the jailor told him good-bye,
saying he would not go to see him hung.
“Uroorl-hve. Mass Jim.” he said. “God bless
be observed at the heart.
At twenty one minutes every evidence of
life was gone.
And at thirty-five minutes, or at eighteen
past one o’clock, the attending physician hav
ing decidred life extinct, the body was low
ered.
Upon the lowering of the body, two negroes
loosed it from the ropes, and hurried away
with it It was reported that physicians hid

TRYING TO RESUSCITATE LIFE.
If so the attempt proved unsuccessful, for
we saw the body afterward, and death was
plainly visible. There was no distortion,
however, every feature was as in life, and
save the closed eyes and cold body, the sem
blance of life was perfect The neck was
unbroken, but the marks of the rope were dis
tinct
What the reasons of tbe man were for step
ping from the scaffold, we did not know, and
of course cannot now tell. Some surmise
that attempts would be made to restore life,
and he wished to avoid breaking his neck;
others attribute it. to ignorance; wb-le others
still contend that it was bis intention to com
mit suicide. This act of his, arising from
whatever cause, destroyed mnoh sympathy,
if it ever existed for him, among his own
race. But we imagine there was little sym
pathy felt for him by the negroes of the
county. Why this was we could not tell, un
less it was because they desired to see him
hung. When a petition, a low weeks ago,
was numerously signed (by whites principally)
and sent to tbe Governor in bis behalf, we
heard of negroes saying that “every man who
signed that petition ought to be hung.”
Let us hope, horrible though it be, that his
execution will have the effect intended—the
effect to deter otheis from the commission of
crime.
Too much praise cannot be awarded the
Sheriff and town Marshal for the excellent or
der preserved throughout the day. Wo did
not hear of a single arrest, or a case of disor
der in any part of the town, though a largo
number of drunken men thronged the
streets.

A Series of Accidents.

Old Mr. Watson, on Nelson street, has got

o- rt for a pot of paint and a ladder. Tbe

from the jail door, many geiulemea crowded
around him to say good-bye. His answer,
almost invariably was, “Good-bye; God bless
yon!” The Sheriff assisted him in mounting
the wagon, wherein was the coffin, on which
he rode to the scaffold ; his wife also was, by
special permission, allowed to accompany him
on this his Last journey in life.
At twelve minntes to twelve o’clock tbe wa

formed in hollow square. Soon the wagon
reached the foot of
THE SCAFFOLD,
where the prisoner, again assisted by the
Sheriff, dismounted from the wagon and as
cended to the platform, when, at 12 o’clock,
the sentence of the court was read to him,
and he was asked by the Sheriff if he desired
to say anything. He answered affirmatively,
and the Sheriff informed him that he would
have 25 minutes in which to speak.
THE SPEECH
was of a rambling, disconnected character.
He said he knew bis sins had been forgiven.
He had faith in the blood of ChrUt, shed for
sinner*. He told his colored friends that
whenever they were placed in a like condi
tion, that the white men were their best
friends, and their enemies would l>e found
among their own color. If the negroes had
had their way he would hare stood on the gal
lows long ago. The while people, through
their influence in hiB behalf, had kept him un
til to day. When first sentenced to be hang,
he was badly scared, bnt now he felt that all
was right. He understood that same few col
ored people signed the petition to Governor,
(meaning the petition for commutation of sen
tence). He thanked them, though he did not
know who they were. He had been told that
the colored people were getting np the neces
sary things for a frolic. He would tell them
that they would see the day when they would
frolic in h*U.
H* closed his remarks witli a request for
his two witnesses, if they were present, to
come forward. One of them answered the
request and mounted the scaffold, to whom he
said : “Jim Martin, if yon said anything in
yonr evidence that was not true, I hope God
will forgive yon. Good-bye; God bloss you!"
The Sheriff then granted permission to his
relatives to come forward and bid him fare
well. Many availed themselves of tbe oppor
tunity, and the scene was quite affecting.
Two men carried hi* wife np the steps to
shake hands with him for the lost time. His
adieu to her was the same as to all others.
Up to this lime tbe condemned man main
tained the same cheerful indifference to his
fate that he exhibited at the jail. Bnt when
tbe Sheriff, at thirty-four minutes past twelve,
adjusted tbe rope aronnd his n*ck and fas
tened the cap over his face, he showed signs of
feeling. The Sheriff descended tbe steps,
and as he did -ao we conld see the waiting
criminal tremble and his knees knock toge
ther, betraying considerable agitation. A
minister was summoned to pray, when jnst
as ha was about to commence his petition to
Almighty God in behalf of th* victim, the
doomed man, with the words, “I e’pose I
might as well get off myself,”
STEPPED PBOK THE SCAPIOLD,
aad thus attempted to hasten hi* fate. The
Sheriff mounted the scaffold hurridly, and
with assistance raised the now apparently
senseless and lifeless body, whose limbs had
no power (nor did he otter e single sound),
to the platform, on whieh he laid it, and care-
folly adjusted the rope about hie neck.
Descending be consulted the minister, and it
was thonght best, nnder the circamstances,
to dispense with tbe prayer. He then length
ened the rope to suit the poeition of the
body—which, though it had not bung by
the rope a minute, still betrayed no eigns of
life—and sprung the trap at forty-three
minutes past twelve, and the soul ot this
poor, ignorant creators wag launched into
eternity.
In five nrintites after ths body was swung
oft respiration ceased to be observable. Tbe
sufferings of the men in the meantime seemed
to be severe. The legs were drawn np several
times, and be vainly tried to raise hie hands
to relieve bis neck from the strangling rope,
which, in the peculiar fall of the body bad
been displaced, tbe knot being jnst above tbe
left jaw bone, and tbe greatest strain being
on the right side end back of tbe neck, caus
ing the bead to fell back in an unnatural
position. Tbe breathing np to this time
A MASSACHUSETTS BOY SACBIYTCTNG HIS DIVE IN
SACRAMENTO Villl.S TKTINO TO RESCUE
HIS BROTHER FROM JAIT.
From the Boston Journal.
About fifteen years ago a yonug man named
Charles Flinn, residing in Lynn, left home
and was never heard irem until four or five
weeks ago, when his brother received a letter
from him from Sacramento, California, stat-
iog that he was in trouble, that it was a case
of life and death with him, and desiriDg him
to come on and see him. The brother started
about a month ago to go to California, and
there learned that bis brother Charles was in
jsil, under the name of Mortimer, on a charge
of rnnrder. The sequel is told in a copy of
the Sacramento Daily Union of a recent date
from whieh we copy;
SCALING A WALL.
A daring attempt was made at 1:30 o'clock
this morning to rescue Charles Mortimer, the
murderer ef Mrs. Gibson, from the county
jail. The effort was frustrated, and the prin
cipal actor killed by the vigilance and deci
sion ot Deputy Sheriff Manual L. Cross, who
was on dnty nt that honr. On the west side
of the jail is an open coart or jail-yard, about
eighty feet square, which is surrounded by a
brick wall twenty feet high. A man whose
name is believed to be Flinn, scaled the wall
by means ot a ladder taken from a grocery
store in the vicinity. Leaving bis hat and
boots on the outside to accomplish this feat,
ho placed the ladder on the west side of the
wall, in the rear of an nnoccnpied building,
where his movements conld not be discovered
from the street
Having reached the top of the wall he
passed to the roof of a shed in the jail yard
as a boiler-house, and lowered himself by
means of a wire guy attached to the smoke
stack, which had extended across it, but
which he broke at one end. This mnch was
done without alarming the jailer on guard.
The main hall of the jail in which the cells
are located is connected with the yard by a
doorway, which is closed by a hoavy iron
cross-bar door on the inside and a wooden
door on the outside. The Hon door was
closed, but not locked. Deputy Sheriff Cross
was on doty inside the jail. When the bell
was rung from the door which opens from the
court to the open yard on the street, the offi
cer, it appears, bad some reason for extreme
caution, fearing the possibility of an attempt
to rescue the prisoner.
Cross unlocked the inner door, and with
his revolver pushed the wooden door open
quick, but saw no one in the yard. He
stepped forward and looked along the wall of
the building, bnt saw no one. He then
started to go across the yard to the gate, a
distance of sixty feet. When about ten feet
from the door, he glancod his eye backward
and saw a man without a hat and his lace
masked with a white handkerchief, advanc
ing aronnd the corner of the building. He
had covered the officer with a pistol, and
commenced some exclamation or sentence
which was not understood. Cross instantly
wheeled and fired, dropping on his knees at
tbe time to dodge the ball of bis adversary.
Flinn staggered, but still kept on his feet
and moved toward the door as though to
gain access to the jail. Cross fired a second
shot, which also seemed to take effect. Flinn
still kept on his feet and passed into the jsil,
running across tbe hall directly to Mortimer's
cell, which is about sixty feet from the door.
As he reached the cell he grasped at the
wicket, but fell and died in a few minntes.
The shuts had taken effect in the right side
and month. A purse was found on his par
son containing $28 80. The principle reason
for believing this man is a brother ot Morti
mer is that he had several keys on a flat steel
ring, sn which was engraved “William J.
Flynn, Linn, Maas.” On tbe arm of Morti
mer is marked “Charles Flinn” in Indian ink.
The deceased has been to sss Mortimer two
or three times since bis inoareeration. On
his person were fonnd two revolver* and a
knife. It has been ascertained to-day that
this man has been stopping several days at
tbe City Hotel nnder ths name of Williams.
The jailers seem to think Flinn bad help out
side to aid him in his daring undertaking,
and that h* rang tbe bell by reaching the
wire in tbe yard. The intention of Flinn
was no doubt to sabdn* tbe jailer, then se
cure tbe keys with which to release Msiti-
mer.
Since the above w«a received we have learn
ed the following in regard to Flinn; Hebe-
longed in Lvnn, bad a good war record, en
listed in 1862 in company E, 38th regiment;
wsr wounded at the asaanlt on Fort Hudson,
in Jane, 1863; was transferred to tbe Veteran
Reserve Corps and discharged In 1864, as first
Bergeunt. Since he was discharged bo has
made a host of friends. He has never been
known to commit any crime ot any descrip
tion. Ho was doing well in Lynn in business
with another brother. Th* daring attempt he
made was donbtless actuated by brotherly
lovo.
