A very mysterious and bloody tragedy,
doubtless the resalt of amalgamation and
. Jealousy, was yesterday afternoon brought to
>ts attention of Coroner Henman, at his of
fice. No. 4i> Bast Houston strati.
foKston strati.
Wm. Servant, a colored man, it appears,
keeps a dance house in the basement of the
premises 49 Sullivan street, which he kept
open on Friday night till near twelve o'clock,
there being no quarrel or serious disturbance
in the placedorrng the evening. About seven
o'doek yesterday meriting the colored bar-
keeper, Hansford Livingston, having occasion
to go in the rear yard, was horrified, on open
ing the door of the outhouse, to find the
floor covered with a large amount of blood,
and there were also blood spots on the parti
tion boards.
A BLOODY BACOK
lay in the cintro of the pool of blood, of
which there seemed to be nearly three pints,
bat the razor, on examination, appeared not
to have been used recently. Judging from
appearances, the weapon bad been recently
placed in the pool of blood after the flowing
bad taken place.
Livingston, after a little hesitation, gave in
formation to an officer on post, who immedi
ately communicated the fact to Captain Me-
(nlicrogh, of the Eighth preeient, who, with
Detective Mullin and other officers, instantly
repaired to the place and found the blood and
razor as stated.
A gEAECH.
The Captain and His officers, suspecting
that a murder bad been committed, com
menced a search of Servant's dance house
and the snrroncding premises, with the view
of solving the mystery attending the blood
and razor in the onthoose, bnt without suc
cess. Some blood spots were found on the
floor of the hallway leading into ties street,
l>nt from whence they came no one seemed
to know. Determined not to be thwarted in
his purpose, Captain McCullough continued
the search, and several hours later leaned
that the dead body of Mary Jane Sullivan, a
depraved eonrtesan, who cohabited with Jim,
alias Joe Jackson, an ngly negro, bad been
found in her bed, on the second floor oi 574
Thompson street, just at the entrance of
“ Nigger alley,” so famous in the Eighth
ward, with marks of violence mi the face,
head and body. From the fact that Jackson,
a whitewnsher by occupation, had fled and
taken with him such valuables as conld be
easily moved, it was suspected he had killed
his white mistress, particularly as it was
known they lived unhappily together.
Captain McCullough found
THE BODY 07 DECEASED
as described, and believing that Kate Jackson,
alias McDermott, and Lottie Armstrong (white
girls), both boarding with Jackson, the latter
of whom had also been his mistress, were in
possession of facts tonching the death
of the girl Jackson, arrested them; but
they most stontly denied all knowledge of the
matter, notwithstanding they occupied a small
bedroom on the same floor, and only a few
feet from the bed in which Jackson and de
ceased slept.
The girl Jackson, alias Kale McCready, said
she was ont till two o'clock in the morning,
and retnrning home drunk eaw deceased lying
on her left side in the bed; Bhe did not notice
Jackson at the time, and probably he was not
there; she last saw Jackson at six o'clock the
evening previous.
Lottie Armstrong stated she last saw de
ceased about twelve o’clock at night, in the
act of going out for a pitcher of beer; de
ceased was then somewhat intoxicated; what
time the latter returned Lottie did not know,
and no one else seemed to be able to tell.
8trong suspicions existed that Lottie,
THE FORMER MISTRESS 07 JACKSON,
being jealous of his attentions to Mary Jane
Sullivan, bad been anxioas to remove her suc
cessful ri val, and knew something concerning
her death; bnt as yet nothing has been devel
oped to show such to be the fact.
ASSAULTING DECEASED.
In the coarse of their investigation. Captain
McCullough and Detective Mnllin ran across
Alfred Wilkes, a tall, bright looking mulatto,
living at West Thirty-third street, who saw-
deceased and Jackson at a groggery, corner of
Broome and Sullivan streets, about midnight.
Jackson appeared to be angry and said to
Mary Jane, “What are you doing here, yon
bloody b—h ? " at the same time striking her
somewhere about the body with a heavy hick
ory stick, about three feet in length.
Coroner Herman and his deputy, Dr. Cush
man, on visiting the bouse where the dead
body lay, found thousands of highly excited
colored men, women and children gathered
about, discussing the merits of the mnrder
and wondering wbat had become of Jackson,
whom they characterized as a brute and a
murderer.
deceased's apartments.
The room wbere deceased lay is a two sto
ry, rickety frame house, and it seemed dan
gerous to ascend the stairs, which are in a
tottering condition. The front room is about
fourteen feet in length by twelve in width,
with a very low ceiling. Off from this room
is a still smaller one, occupied by Kate and
Lottie. A few poor chairs, a table and coal
box constituted the furniture, with the ex-
ception of the bed. Hang against the wall
were some very ordinary pictures. It may
not be amiss to mention that a very domes-,
tic barnyard fowl was found in the room of
deceased, and was sojvery tame that it in
sisted on being under the feet of those pres
ent.
A number of policemen, nnder command
of Captain McCullough, kept guard and pre
served the peace, both inside as well as in the
street, while Dr. Cushman made the
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION.
On the right elbow of deceased Dr. Cnah-
man found a contused wound of recent date,
both her eyes were discolored, there was a
bruise or contusion near the right temple, and
immediately over the right eye was an incised
wound as if inflicted with the sharp edge of a
hammer, chisel or some kindred instrument.
On opening the skull Dr. Cushman found a
mass of extravasated blood on the brain,
which was compressed, the compression hav
ing been the resnlt of violence, probably by
a blow or a succession of blows.
The internal organs were examined, and
most of them found to be healthy. Deceased,
previous to her dissipated habits and life of
debauchery, must have been quite an attrac
tive looking girl, and much surprise was ex
pressed that she should fancy and cohabit
with the brntish negro charged with taking
her life. The sister of deceased, who claims
to be a respectable married woman, was in
the house while Dr. Cushman was making the
post-mortem examination, and expressed the
wish to take the remains to Fall Elver, Mass
achusetts, for interment, if she conld raise
the money necessary for tbatpnrpose.
r Henman si
&
tery. Captain MaCollongh arrested Servant,
keeper of the dance house, and Livingston,
his barkeeper ; bnt they asserted most posi
tively that no trouble of sny kind occurred ip
the house, and that they know nothing about
(ha origin of the Wood referred to.
Leaving *bis bloody scene Coroner Hen-man
and his deputy returned to the Prince street
station, and there informally examined
laekton, alias MaDennott, and Lottie
alias McCready; Servant, his bar
keeper, Livingston; Charles H. Moore, who
saw the body of deceased in bed, and Allred
Wilkes, who state* be saw Jackson strike de
ceased with a club. Ail the witnesses are col
ored except the two girls who boarded and co
habited with -Jackson, as stated. Coroner
Hen-man committed them to the House of De
tention till the examination shall take placo.
Detective Mnllin and several other Central
officers are in hot pursuit of Jackson, who Is
well known in the Eighth ward, and have
hopes of securing him.
Late in
the afternoon Coroner Herrman
the entire police force of the city to be
notified and instructed to be on the alert for

investigation for some days to come.
THE BLOOD MTSTKST.
The post-mortem being concluded, Captain
McCullough requested Coroner Herrman and
Dr. Cneliman to visit the cloeet in the rear of
Servant's colored dance hoots, No. 40 Sulli
van street, in which snch a large quantity of
blood was found nnder each mysterious cir
cumstances. The blood, in the opinion of
many, was proof positive that another mnr
der had been committed; but, if snch was the
case, the question arose, what had become of
the body '< All the vanlts, cellars and other
places where most likely a body would be
concealed in the neighborhood had b
searched, and no diacoveiy made.
A lew who witnessed the bloody cloeet and
razor were impressed with the belief that
Jackson had cut bis throat and that biz body
had been smuggled away to some secret hiding
place. Dr. Cushman was of the opinion that
the blood had been thrown from the body sud
denly and in Urge quantities, as would be the
case in severing a main artery or bunting of
a blood vessel. It U very certain in the mind
of Dr. Cushman that a person losing the quan
tity of blood fonud on tha floor would be per
fectly unable to walk away without aaeistance,
and in all probability death would speedily
ensue from such a depletion of the system.
Dr. Cushman seenrad some of the gore for
analysis, which will show moat ooneicsively
whether the blood came from a human body.
As the matter remains at present, it is shroud

The Atlanta Herald.
A»oueemcot for 1873.
EftUtblfcbod only in August o last year,
he Atlanta Hzan.n has, in five short months,
risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism,
and has obtained a circulation which has not
any precedent in the history of Southern
newspapers.
When first issued, the proprietors declared
their purpose to make the Herald a bold,
outspoken paper, independent of all political
parties, cliques and rings ard devoted solely
to the interests of the masses, without regard
to class or station. The condition of politi
cal parties in the Sonth was snch, that nn
der no circumstances conld the Herald give
its support to Radicalism; hones, it has in
variably advocated the election ol Democrats
to office, inch advocacy being based upon ibe
capacity of candidates. The Hxbald, there
fore, has assumed the position of an inde
pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con
tinue to hold it, so long as the Democracy
remain the political party which serves the
people with more honesty and ability than
any other party in the State. Nevertheless,
the Hra.i-i. will eontinne, in the future, as in
the past, to criticise men and measures,
without regard to political prejudices and
affiliations, condemning everything its pro-
prietors believe injarions to the interests of
Georgia, and praising and supporting all
that they believe likely to promote the pros
perity of the State and the happiness of her
people.
As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad
mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. Events
transpire with snch rapidity that every per
son who desires to keep pace with the times,
mnst have a live daily or weekly paper. Onr
columns will be found to give the very latest
news on every subject Whatever of inter
est occurs in any part of the world is made
known to our readers, and all the various top
ics of the day are discussed intelligently snd
without bias.
Never before m the history of the world
was it more necessary for every person who
can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The
struggle between centralism and Constitu
tional Democratic Government is entering
upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and
bond rings at the North control and direct
the legislation of Congress, and as their in
terest can only be advanced by the existence
of a strong, centralized government, they are
passing laws, one by one, whose ultimate de
sign is to reduce the States to the con
dition of mere provinces. Encroachments
more radical and startling than ever have
been made on tha rights of the peopLa The
Sonth has been converted into a second Ire
land; her governments overturned by the
mandate of a petty judge, backed by Tederal
bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign
adventurers and native scoundrels, and her
liberties crushed out with a ruthlessucss which
has not any parallel save in Poland, Ireland,
and Hungary. To-day the men who struggled
through six years of bloody warfare, and the
children of the martyrs to the cause of South
ern Independence are political slaves, and
what their future is to be, remains shrouded
in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the
terrible corruptions oi the party in power, as
proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions,
implicating the ontgoing and incoming Vice
Presidents, together with a large number of
tbe most prominent leaders of the Radicals,
are undermining tbe very fonndation of Dem
ocratic institutions, and paving the way for
empire.
While in the United States there is mnch
of mournful interest to attract the reader of
cotemporary history, abroad the drama is
equally exciting and important. France is
still kept nnqniet by the violence of political
factions; in Great Britain the masses are
moving towards Democracy; in Germany Ibe
Church question has assumed formidable
proportions; in Italy tbe sitnaiion increases
in interest, while in Spain there are evidences
that the revelation which placed Amadeus on
the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, in
abort, do we daily witness new and startlifig
occurrences, the regular and faithful record
of which makes the Herald a perfect history
of the world.
With a large corps of competent and ex-
perienced editors, correspondents and repor
ters, and with arrangements concluded or
making for letters from all parts of the world
we can promise to tbe reading public a paper
which will, in every respect, satisfy their de
sires. Literature, science, the arts, will all
receive attention. Our agricultural, com
mercial and manufacturing interests will be
earnestly and steadfastly supported, and our
columns will always be kept open to poor and
rich alike.

corn and cotton, and have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire sattel'action with it iu every way. It
makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverized the land at tba tnaae time. After bed

guano at the same time. Iu corn planted in six feet rows, one ronnd cleared the row, and left the laud in splen

doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows front three to three and a half feet, were clear* d at

thing we ever saw, and for bedding lauds aft^r ht-mg broken, it caunot be surpassed, as it doex the work of
three men and mnta. Wo cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, aa the greatest la
bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been on our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough
is as light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying U with cum-.
