In our local columns yesterday we
briefly mentioned that a telegram had
been received in this city, announc
ing the killing of Walter L. Cole,
a prominent young merchant at
Blackshear on Sunday night by un
known parties. The telegram furnished
no particulars of the affair, though the
inference was that the young tnan had
been murdered in his, store by burglars.
Yesterday morning, however, we saw a
letter received here from Mr. E. J.
Acosta, Agent at Station No. 8 (Black
shear) on the Atlantic & Gulf Road, in
which the foHowing particulars of the
terrible crime were given:
:On Monday morning early the body of
young Cole was found lying on the
ground, about two hundred and fifty
yards from his store. The deceased was
lying on his back, and presented a hor
rible picture. His throat was cut from
ear to ear, and his head was battered in
a most fearful manner.
The report circulated rapidly, and in a
few minutes the entire town was aroused.
Mr Acosta was among the first to reach
the scene, having been awakened by his
little son, who imparted the startling in
formation that Mr. Cole had been found
in the road with his throat cut.
The citizens assembled, turned the
body over and discovered that he
had also been shot, a large load
of buckshot having entered his
back, inflicting a fearful wound, which
wits sufficient, in the opinion of those who
saw it, to have caused death. His coat at
the shoulder was tom by a shot, but
no woimd was observable. The watch
belonging to the deceased was in his vest
pocket, and a loaded revolver was lying
on the ground near him. apparently hav
ing dropped from his' pocket when he
was shot.
A jury of inquest was at once sum
moned, and an investigation proceeded.
A negro by the name of Felix,
who lives in a house about a hun
dred yards from the spot where the
body was found, stated that about half
past eleven o’clock on Sunday night he
heard a report of a gun, followed by
loud groan, but being alone he was afraid
to venture forth to ascertain . the <
until daylight. Another negro, living
in the same vicinity, made a similar .state
ment.
It was ascertained that Mr. Cole had
left his store about eight o’clock on Sun
day evening to visit a young lady in the
neighborhood, to whom he was shortly to
have been married. He remained at the
lady’s house until near eleven o’clock,
when he started to return to his store,
where he was in the habit of sleeping,
when he was waylaid and murdered.
It was evident from this that robbery
was not the incentive, and it was difficult
to determine what the motive was, as the
deceased was one of -the most popular
aud highly esteemed young men in the
viUage. In order, if possible, to get
some information in regard to the mur
der, the Coroner’s jury had every gun in
the place seized and brought before
them. Through this action,
AN UNEXPECTED CLUE
was obtained. The gun of Robert W.
Carpenter, an uncle of young Cole by
marriage, was produced among others,
when it was discovered that the stock
was broken, and a portion of the barrel
near the breech was covered with
CLOTTED BLOOD AND HAIR.
The hair upon comparison was found to
resemble that of Mr. Cole so striking as
to leave no donbt in the minds of the
juries that the blow upon the head of the
deceased had been inflicted with this
weapon, but by whom was a matter of
conjecture. The jurt, however, felt justi
fied under the circumstances in ordering
the
ABREST OF R. W. CARPENTER
upon the charge of having committed the
murder, and he is now in custody await
ing a fuller investigation of the serious
charge.
The jury were in session throughout
the entire day, not concluding their ex
amination until late in the evening.
Daring the investigation an effort was
made to ascertain what motive could
have induced Carpenter, if he were really
guilty, to have committed so foul
deed. This inquiry elicited some infor
mation which, however, is of a character
too indefinite, under the circumstances,
to give publicity until a more searching
investigation is had. So far as known
the parties had been friendly, and the
only evidence against Mr. Carpenter
is the fact that the wounds had
been inflicted with his gun. But
the weapon may have been stolen, and
the object of the murder may have been
robbery, as it was well known among
the negroes that Mr. Cole generally car
ried about him large sums of money.
Prior to his arrest Mr. Carpenter had
sent a telegram to a firm in this city, ask
ing them to send a coffin up immediately,
stating that his nephew had been
murdered, which proceeding it does not
appear resonahle he would have taken^
had he been guilty of the crime.
Until a further investigation into the
affair is had, it is well to withhold any
expression of opinion. •
Mr. Cole was well known in Savannah,
and the news of his shocking death wifi
occasion general regret.

EUGENIE DE MONTIJO.
The' .Starr of the Wife of Napoleon III.
CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Washington, March 24.—In the Senate,

leans Grange of Louisiana for an increase don, where she lived in retirement, and
Eugenie Marie de Montijo was bora at
Grenada, Spain, on the 5th of May, 1826.
and is consequently—although no one
would guess the fact from her face—
forty-eight years old. Those who believe
in the omens of da^fa wifi note that the
5th of May is one ftSnous in Bonapartist
Annuls, for it is that on which Napoleon
L died. However, when Eugenie was
born nothing seemed more improbable
than that she would evermarry a crowned
head, for her mother did not occupy the
brilliant position which court biographies
and memoirs would have us think. Her
maiden name was Kirkpatrick-Closeburn.
She was descended from a Scotch family,
and was married to the Count of Montijo
and Teba, who was a grandee of the first
class, but who had not mnch money.
From some reason, too, the Count of Mon
tijo soon tired of his wife’s company, and
the pair were separated long before the
Count’s death. With her two daughters
—for Eugenie had an elder sister—
the Countess then traveled from country
to country, and spent some years in Lon
the highlandebs.

went little into society. On leaving Lon
don, which, it is said, she found too ex
pensive, Mme. de Montijo returned to
Spain and resided for about three years
in different parts of the peninsula, her
place of predilection being Seville. But
toward the year 1845 she came to Paris,
and some documents found at the Prefec
ture de Police, under the Commune,
brought to light the following queer notes
about her: “There is staying at No. 45
Rne street, Antoine, in a. rather shabby
apartment on the third floor, a Mme de
Montijo, who professes to be the wife of
a Spanish grandee. Her style of living
is modest, and she receives no visits from
ladies; but three or four times a week a
number of gentlemen, principally for
eigners, come and spend the evening with
her and play cards. It is presumable that
'they are attracted as much by the beauty
of Mme. de Montijo’s two daughters as by
the wish to gamble.” On the margin
of this police note the Prefect at that
time, M. Delessert, had written, “Find
out whether Mme. Montijo is really
the wife of a nobleman;” and on a pa
per appended to the above was this brief
statement, “Mme. de Montijo is really
what she asserts she is, the wife of the
Connt of that name, but the couple were
virtually divorced three years after mar
riage, and the Countess professes to live
on her jointure of 10,000 francs a year.”
The word “professes” was underlined in
both notes, and it is evident that the au
thorities supposed that the foreign lady
derived the larger share of her income
from the maintenance of one of those
private gambling saloons which have at
all times been common in Paris. Whether
. Hite was tbe case or no need not be con
jectured, but, if the fact were true, it
would entail none of the discredit which
attends the encouragement of gambling
in other lands, seeing that the French
look upon games of hazard with a won
drous respect and affection. As to the
note about the beauty of Mme. de Mon
tijo’s daughters, nothing that could have
been said on this head would have been
exaggerated, for they were both lovely
to an astonishing degree, and were,'

A Terrible Tragedy.
Lexington, Ky., March 20.—A fearful
tragedy was enacted in Scott county to
day. Mrs. Elizabeth Sconce, wife of Wm.
Sconce, who resides four miles from
Georgetown, on the Frankfort pike, cut
the throats of her two little girls and then
cut her own. She had been troubled with
hysterics for a week past, and was under
medical treatment. Thus morning her
husband and his father, who slept in the
same room with her and the two children,
got up and went out, leaving the rest of
the family in bed. Soon afterwards two
grown daughters, sleeping in the adjoin
ing room, were awakened by the noise, and
found their mother leaning over the bed
side and asked her what she wanted.
She said nothing, and returned to the
shed-room where she slept. Immediately
one of the children was heard to scream,
and the girls rushing into the room, found
the tWo children, Lula, aged two, and
Willie Kate, aged nine; with their throats
cut. Their screams brought Mr. Sconce
to the house, and when he arrived his
wife had cut her own throat and was
speechless, although she made the effort
to speak to him. Drs. Adams and Wren
were summoned as soon as possible; but
Mrs. Sconce had severed both jugular
veins, and, despite their efforts to save
her, she died. The youngest child is in a
critical condition. The next one, Willie
Kate, is considered out of danger, although
severely cut about the throat and hands.
The cutting was done with a razor
procured out of a box in the passage way
between the two rooms. Mrs. Sconce is
a daughter of James Williams, of Bour
bon county, has been married twenty-
one years, and is the mother of five
children. She was a pious, industrious,
practical woman, and lived happily with
her family and neighbors. Two of her
sisters died about tbe same age of heart
disease, and this joined to her histeria
filled her with gloomy forebodings of a
Bimilar fate, and no doubt caused the
temporary aberration of mind, during
which the deed was done. She dressed
herself neatly and completely before
committing the fearfnl act. She was
about forty years of age, and her hnsbond
fifty. The family was mnch respected in
the neighborhood.—Courier-Journal.
Mbs. Clem to be Released.—Indian
apolis, March 18.—The County Commis
sioners to-day resolved not to appropriate

Clem is confined in the county jail, hav
ing had four trials already. She will
probably be released now.
Independence, Mo., has a mystery. On
Wednesday morning, March 11, the body

have been bound to a horse. His pocket
handkerchief was marked “J. W.

FAST GIRLS.
But not fast in any evil sense. They
were well guarded by their mother, and
had all the virtues and modesty of well-
bred young ladies; but they rode a good
deal, dressed exuberantly, and in the fly
ing excuisions which they mode now and
then to Spain, they delighted in pic-nics,
-masked balls and other amusements of a
dashing kind. It was daring one of these
excursions that, being at a buil-fight one
day, the two pretty Montijo girls were
seen by the Duke of Alba, and this cir
cumstance led to a very romantic passage
in the life of the future Empress of the
French. The Duke of Alba was immensely
rich, and bore one of the finest names in
the kingdom. He was also young, hand
some, amiable and charming in every
way, so that it was an exciting day for
the two sisters when he obtained an in
troduction to their mother and began to
visit at their house with assiduity. He
came eveiy day, and would sit for
hours and chat. In the evenings he
came again, and whenever the Mon-
tijos were to be seen, whether at the
theatre, promenade or party, there was
the Duke of Alba dancing attendance on
them and exciting the storms of jealousy
in /■the breasts of other Spanish young
ladies who pined to wear his coronet.
For a long time, however, there was no
telling which of the sisters he preferred,
and the point was only solved on the day
when he proposed to the eldest one. Eu
genie, who, perhaps loved the Duke, or
who perhaps had simply aspired after the
maimer of young ladies all the world over
to make a dazzling marriage, was cruelly
wounded by her disappointment, and in
the first burst of her grief tried to com
mit suicide. You will not find this little
episode in official hi-dories; but it is a true
one, nevertheless, and well known to all
who are versed in the private chronicles
of society. Etigenie swallowed poison;
an antidote was administered in time;
but the drug left a trace behind it in the
shape of an occasional twitching of the
mouth, which has not disappeared to this
day. Eugenie could not then foresee
HEB IMPERIAL DESTINY,
but the time was rapidly approaching
when she was to eclipse her sister in a
way as startling as it was unexpected.
Thanks to the wealth and rank of the
Duke of Alba, tbe position of the Monti jos
was now very different to what it had
i before the marriage. The Countess
no longer obliged to live in a third-
floor lodging or a second-rate street, nor
to lay herself open to the suspicion of
keeping a card saloon. She setup sump
tuously for a time in the Duke of Alba's
honse in Madrid, and in 1851, when she
went back to Paris, hired a mansion in
the Champs Elysees and became a regu
lar frequenter of the parties given by the
President, Prince Louis Napoleon, at the
Elysee. It should l>e mentioned that this
return to Paris, which was to lead to such
high results, had not been undertaken
spontaneously by the Countess, but had
been in a maimer forced upon her by her
ducal son-in-law. The Duke of Alba
liked to be master in his own honse;
Mate, de Montijo, who had a fairly
arm and led her round by the private
apartments in the dressing room in ques
tion, and from this day there was mutual
regard between the President and the
fair stranger. During the following twelve
months Mme. de Montijo and her daugh
ter were invited guests at all the Presi
dential residences—Fontainebleau, Com-
piegne, St. Cloud—and it escaped no
body that the Prince paid Mile. Eugenie
an inordinate amount of attention. No
one supposed, however, that these atten
tions could end in marriage, for the Pres
ident, having performed his coup detat;
was on the point of becoming Emperor,
and it was no secret that his embassador
at Munich was trying to arrange a match
for him with a Princess of Bavaria. The
King of Bavaria refused to give away his
relative to a Prince whom he styled an
“adventurer,” and then it was that Louis
Napoleon, much mortified at heart, Re
solved not to expose himself to further
rebuffs by courting royal Princesses. Pos
sibly Mme. de Montijo had been waiting
her opportunity, for, two days after the
news of the Bavarian snob had begun to
get bruited, she begged a private audience
of tbe Prince, and told him that as his
attentions toward her. daughter were
beginning to excite mmmrent she
had the intention of leaving France.
This was at St. Cloud, where the
mother and daoghter were both staying.
The Priqce asked Mme. de Montijo.to,
tarry "She day more, for ' he might . then
have something to say to her, and he em
ployed these twenty-four hours in ac
quainting his Ministers with his determi
nation to marry Mile. Eugenie. The
news fell upon them like a shell. Nothing
of this kind had been apprehended by
anyone, and both Count de Moray, M. de
Persigny and Edgard Ney earnestly im
plored the Prince not to contract such a
■mesalliance. But Louis Napoleon was
inexorable. The communication was
made to the Cabinet on the 25th of No
vember. On the 2d of December the
Prince was proclaimed Emperor; on the
23d of January the coming marriage was
officially notified to the French people,
and on the 30th of January it was sol
emnized at Notre Dame.

not hit on the easy expedient of allowing
hid mother-in-law one hundred thousand
francs a year provided she would live
abroad. This she did, as above said, in a
fine style, and her daughter Engenie was
enabled to appear everywhere dressed with
the grace and richness suited to her won
derful beauty. It became a marvel to
'body at this time how a girl of such
as Mile de Montijo remained so long
without finding a husband. She was
twenty-five, and yet seemed in no hurry
whatever to be married. An English earl,
an American banker, a young cousin of
the Duke of Alba’s, both wealthy and
titled, all proposed to her and so did
shoals of Frenchmen, among whom was
a famous novelist, who is still living. But
*1 of them Eugenie said “no,” not
essly, but with a firmly settled pur
pose, as if her good genius were whisper-
: ng to her that she would lose nothing by
being patient. And so it befell that at a
ball given by the President at the Elysee,
some nights -only'

HER FUTURE RMFEBQB AND HUSBAND.
The manner of meeting was somewhat
propitious moment to escape
with his friend Edgard Ney, the Duke of
LaMoskowa,' into the Elysee gardens,
when he came suddenly upon a radiant,
blushing girl, who was trying to do up
her hair alone, opposite a glass in the con
servatory. Her hair had come down dur
ing a wdtz, and the crowd was too great
to admit of her girl’s reaching* the ladies’
dressing rooms, so she had glided in here,
hoping to be unobserved. Napoleon see
ing her in this strait, gallantly gays her his
[From the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
The highwaymen of Missouri, who have
recently become so conspicuous by rob
bing railroad trains and killing the St,
Lonis detectives who were sent unto
them, are, in many respects, extraordi-
niry men. They have imparted a dignity
and romance to their profession which it
had long since lost, and have lifted it
above the degrading depth of petty thiev
ery. They recall the times when Dick
Turpin and Claude Duval figured in Eng-
and, before railroads or telegraph wires
were known, and when fast horse s afforded
security against capture. They are perhaps
the best types of highwaymen living, and
will likely attract the attention of more
countries- than this before their exploits
ore brought to on end,
From a sketch of the leading members
of the band recently published in the
Washington Capital, from the pen of a
writer who had known them personally,
it seems that the party consist of Arthur
McCoy, the Younger brothers, the James
boys, and Will Shepherd. They are all
intelligent, and most of them well edu
cated and well raised. Arthur "McCoy,
who appears to be the executive officer,
was, before the war, a resident of St.
Louis, where he occupied a respected po
sition in society for some time, but which
he partially lost by his desperate and
lawless behavior just previous to the war
He was regarded as a formidable char
acter to deal with, and, having - no
regard for his own life, became the terror
of his associates. During the war he
served as a Confederate spy—a scluxl
from which he emerged a thorough des
perado. The most dangerous of all ene
mies is he who attaches the least value to
his own life, and McCoy regarded his as
worth nothing. With an iron nerve he
united a clear and accurate sight. His
pistol was as unerring at forty paces as
the arrow of an Indian. A large fortune
has been offered for his head, but he is
still in possession of it; aDd will likely
keep it for a good while yet. Few men
are ambitious of making the fortune.
Many have tried the experiment, but
they have all fallen before Ids steady hand
and trained eye.
The Younger brothers, John and Cole,
are fit associates for McCoy. Alert,
quick, daring and remorseless, they have
contributed largely to the notoriety of
the gang. They are all ardent and ro
mantic, and have often sent communica
tions to the Kansas City Times complain
ing that injustice was done them in class
ing them with ordinary thieves. On one
occasion they called at the Times office
late at night, and, while the rest remained
on the street with the horses, one of the
Younger boys went up iu the edito
rial rooms and talked with the night
editor, telling him that, while they
had no odds to ask of society,
they wanted a fair show. They never
broke in a house, he said, and never
picked up anything in a sly or sneaking
way. When they wanted to mate war
on society they went on the highway,
*and fought for what they got. This was
just after the band had ridden up to tbe
ticket office of the Kansas City exposition
grounds and robbed the gate-keeper in
jroad daylight, and in the presence of
ten thousand people. This was done,
too, within twenty yards of a police sta
tion. The few persons who happened to
be standing in immediate proximity to
the scene of course said nothing, know
ing that each one of the robbers had a
cocked revolver under the long capes
which hung over their shoulders. The
Younger boys are from Cass county,
where, it is said, they have very respect
able and influential relatives. The writer
adds:
“The James brothers, Jesse and Frank,
are the ornaments of the party. Jesse,
the elder,is the administrative leader of the
gang. He manages its finances, carries
on its diplomacy and devises its strategy.
He is altogether a paradoxical fellow.
Outside of journalism or the learned pro
fessions theie is not a better writer nor
a more fluent talker than Jesse James in
the trans-Mississippi country that I know
of- He is about five feet nine inches in
height, slenderly built, of a florid com
plexion, reddish-brown hair, bluish-gray
eyes, and has rather- sharply defined
features. His home, or rather his
“detectives,” having disposed of three
within the past week. We charge noth
ing for advertising the rewards offered
for their capture, and if any wish to un
dertake the job they have our unqualified
permission.

tion, in Clay county, and his family is

wholesale merchant of Kansas City, and
one of its most substantial citizens. I
have no idea what made Jesse James the
terrible desperado and outlaw that he is.
There is nothing essentially savage in his
nature, and on the other hand he is a
generons, good-hearted fellow. In the
time when he was a member of society,
and before every ifian’s hand had been
raised against him and his against every
man in retaliation, he was as genial and
inoffensive a yonng man. as there was to
be found, and one who gave as good
promise of a useful career. But he has
become a terror and a scourge, and seems
all the more dangerous by reason of the
intellect that ought to have fitted him to
adorn rather than curse his generation.”

robberies they have committed are
too numerous to mention. They capture
a station, and when the train gets thera,
they quietly “go through” it, get ail the
money and jewelry from the passengers,
and let it pass on. Their haunt is in a
remote, inaccessible locality, and they
are so well posted in regard to the
movements of the officers of the law that
they know when and where to expect
them. The telegraph wires serve only to
enable them to decoy trains. The trains
themselves serve only to bring them
booty. They are said to be generous and
considerate to women, and often allow
them, when unprotected, to pass undis
turbed. They strike only living and ro
bust prey. As the telegraph constantly
reminds us, they have no tenderness for
