The Brunswick Appeal states that a well was
recently driven on a place belonging to Mr D.
\ Moore, in that city, and at the depth of
thirty-one feet a bed of sulphur and magnesia
was found, and at the same time a vein of
water strongly impregnated with those minerals
was struck. It thinks the value of this discov

knocked from his engine near the eastern
abutment of the Sati'la bridge a little after
daylight on Friday rooming last, during the
storm, while attempting to adjust a part of his
machinery, will, says the Seaport Appeal, be
glad to learn that he is doing well and will re
sume charge of his engine in a few days. In
swinging himself down from the step of the
engine to adjust the “lazy-cock” that regulates
the supply of water from the tank to the
boiler, the parallel rod struck him on the head
and he was precipitated twenty feet to the
ground below. He was severely bruised and
the concussion rendered him insensible for a
time, but he is all right now.

The CartersviUe Free Press mentions the ac
cidental shooting of Mr. Dugas Bradley by Mr.
John F. Harwell in that town on Wednesday
last. It occurred at the gunsmith shop of Mr.

The Covington Enttrprise says: “Aunt Fran
cis Bates, one of tne best old darkh-s in the
land, died in Covington last Monday at the ripe
old age of eighty-two years. In slavery she
was the pet of her mistress and a tender nurse
to the children. Her color had nothing to do
with her attention to the sick or well. In her
days of freedom she remained the same 'Aunt
Francis'with all who knew her. The tales of
Uncle Remus well fit the life of Aunt Francis.
May the body of this old woman ever rest in
peace. She believed Heaven was her home,
andwe have no room to doubt it.”
Atlanta Post: “Miss Annie Mays, former'y
of Atlanta, and a stepdaughter of Hon. Henry
W. Hilliard, is reported to be preparing for the
operatic stage. She is a beautiful and bewitch
ing blonde, and oneof the most popular society
ladies in Georgia. Her musical gifts are really
wonderful, taken in connection with her fasci
nating and natural dramatic acquirements. In
comic opera she would rival l.otta or Maggie
Mitchell in the eaEe and vivacity of her man
ner on the stage. Miss Mays recently sang in
Kufaula, Ala., and created the most enthusi
astic applause. Her apj>earance in Atlanta
will draw an immense audience, and the will
receive a grand ovation from a host of old
friends and admirers.''
Columbus Enquirer: “At 12 o'clock last
night Lieut. E. W. Joines, of our police force,
reached the city via the Mobile and Girard
Railroad with two negroes whom he had suc
ceeded In capturing at Union hprings. Tney
gave their names as Simeon Daniel and Robert
Jones, but claimed to be brothers. Jackson
Sellers, another of the gang, who als j claims
to be a brother, is now in jail at Seale. Al*.,
charged with murder. The three are charged
with the murder of a white man named Whit-
sett in Lee county, Ga. They twice broke 1 ees-
burg jail, and will now be returned to their old
quarters. Thev sav the only charge that can
he brought is for a shooting scrape in which
they were engagrd with a man named Bill
Cooper, near Cuthbert, some time last year.
The Sheriffs of Lee and Ra: dolph counties
were telegraphed last night, and will arrive for
thejjris uers in a few days. In the meantime,
they will be securely confined in our jaii.”
Speaking of Colonel William A. McDonald’s
withdrawal from the Congressional contest in
this district, the Brunswick Seaport Appeal
says: “All honor to Colonel McDonald: We
have never doubted his loyalty to the Democ
racy. or his patriotism as a citizen. He had
bis own reasons for declaring himself an “In
dependent Democratic candidate for Con
gress” in the First district, and we felt so sure
that they were sound and sensible that we
never inquired into them, but waited patiently
to see those reasons abated, in his own judg
ment, and the rebaptism of his Democracy and
fealty to the party. 'J he hour has come, and
our confidence in his manhood, his integrity
and his fidelity to the best interests of his party
and his country, is strengthened and confirm
ed by his patriotic retirement from the canvass
in favor of the standard bearer of his party.
This settles the question as to Colonel Black s
election, and no earthly power can defeat him.
Col. Collins might as well withdraw also, and
join in a fusion of all races, colors and classes
for the general good.”
We mentioned yesterday an accident which
occurred on the Georgia Kiilroad on Wednes
day afternoon. The Macon Teleyraph gives the
particulars as follows: 'The particulars of
the accident on the Georgia Road, mention of
which was made in yesterday's issue of
the Telegraph and Messenger ye as fol
lows: While the incoming passenger train,
due in this city at 6:30 o’clock p. m.. was run
ning at a high rate of speed near Milledgeville.
a broken rail ditched tbe train„badly smashing
the baggage and mail cars. No one was
hurt, but the escape of Express Man
ager Hill, and Charley Dreyfous, the Mall
Agent, was wonderful. Their cars were
completely wrecked and upset. The great fa
tality among expressmen in railroad accidents
is attributed to the baggage that surrounds
them, and although few of them ride before
their freight, and iron safes, yet it is seldom
they escape entirely from the shifting of ob
jects caused by a smash up. In this instance
so complete was the wreck that the men
emerged from their cars through holes.”
AN AUTUMN RAMBLE
Through New England—Some of the
Manufactories of Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts
—The Rival South—A Word In Fa
vor of Its .Herchants-3*29.
Fitchburg, Mass., October 12.—Editor Hom
ing News: A bright October morning found us
aboard a train of the New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, rushing out of the Grand Central de
pot, through the long tunnel under Fourth
avenue, over bridges, past the little suburban
towns of New Yorx city, and into the open
fields beyond, now assuming a beautiful au
tumn hue, with their piles of red ripe apples
and fallen, withered leaves, blown hither and
thither by the gentle morning breeze.
A short ride soon carried us over the boun
dary into Connecticut, and by noon we reached
New London, a beautiful liitlecity on the West
bank of the Thames river. A short stay in
the vicinity proved pleat ant and instructive,
and we were much impressed with the thrift,
industry and energy of the people. The State
is literally covered with manufactories, every
stream, no matter how small, being utilized
for that purpose. I believe that the springs in
Laurel Grove Cemetery, were they but situ
ated here, would be made to turn a water
wheel for some kind of a mill.
We visited several large manufactories situ
ated on a small stream running through the
vihage of Montville. There are about a dozen
within a radius of four or five miles, consisting
of cotton, woolen, paper, twine and dj-e mills.
There is also a large establ shment for the
manufacture of bed-quilts (.comforters), from
two thousand to twenty five hundred being
turned out every day, of all styles and prices.
There are employed iu the mills in the village
about twenty-five hundred hands—men, wo
men and children—and they all seemed indus
trious, peaceable and temperate (tt e sale of
liquor being prohibited within the corporate
limits).
A drive to tbe west carried us through
Bozraville, Fitchville. Yantic and Beau Hill,
all having their manufactories, and from an
elevation near Bozraville, as far as the eye
could reach, nothing could be seen but farms
and manufactories. All these settlements are
feeders for the cities of New London and Nor
wich. and the merchants of both places must
drain a handsome revenue from th»*m.
After a short stay, we took our departure by
the Shore Line for this city, stopping long
enough en route to visit tbe large cotton mill
of B. B. & R. Knight, at Pontiac, R I., and
take a look at the Rhode Island State prison.
The mill of the Messrs. Knight is an immense
establishment. They manufacture sheeting
and shirting entirely. The mill has five hun
dred and eighty looms, and emp’oys over four
hundred hands’, being run by both water and
steam. Of the Rhode Island State prison. I
can only say that it is a fine establishment,
well conducted and well patronized.
The city of Fitchburg, Mass., is quite a large
but very quiet place. In the suburbs are cot
ton, woolen and paper manufactories, machine
shops and foundries. A visit to the Wachueett
Woolen Mill in West Fitchburg. James Phillips
owner, proved very entertaining. Nothing but
the finest woolen goods are manufactured in
this mill. At the time of my visit the mill was
working on syring and summer goods for next
year, always having orders sufficient to keep
them a season ahead. The wool used in the
estab’ishment comes from Colorado and Aus-
tralia,tho most of it being fine wools from the
latter country imported here from England.
The Northern States furnish very little of the
wool used. 0*uld the Southern planter be in
duced to turn his attention to wool growing In
addition to cotton he would have a paying crop
the year round. Sheep In the South would rm
quire very little care, and their clip would al
ways bring a good price.
Tne mill men iu this section look upon the
South as a formidable comDetitor in the fu
ture in cotton manufacturing, and are forced
to acknowledge that with the increase of
wealth and its investment in home enterprises,
such as those at Columbus and Augusta, the
South wlU not on’y grow the cotton, but
will do all the manufacturing
In the cities in which I have tarried I have
found a very friendly feeling generally towards
the South and Southerners, especially among
the business men. and in this connection I
would append the following as of interest, be
ing an extract from a speech recently deliv
ered in Faneuil Hall, at a Democratic ratiflea
tion meeting, by Colonel Jungs H. French:
“The South is to-day prosperous, and de
servedly so. in spite of the Republican party.
The • redit of its merchant* never was higher;
the North never sold the South so much mer
chandise rs it did last season: Hie South never
paid the North with more promptness Do
you mill owners of the North, whose nulls have
been running for months upon geods to lx> con
•uraed by the South, usually obtain and hold
your customers bv vituperation and abuse? Or
d j you recognize that wbat is for you custom -
ers' interest is for yours, and do you not extend
to them hearty recognition, pneouragement
and courtesy? If you do, carry youf* business
methods into your politics, and demand tiiet
this damuable t*ik of sectional supremacy
shall forever cease; it cgfries ruin in its train.
When Hancock is elected, the Kcrtf),- I think,
will have a much bettor opinion of u*.'
Political excitement runs high alj through
this section, but the rivalry stems good na-
tured. Political .banners of both parties float
side by side in every village, town and oPy,
and at every cross roads, and the figures 3yu
confront you on every pavement, railroad car
and dead wall sa you journey along Tis
verily a handwriting on the wall. J. N.

Collapse of a Fraudulent Banfctntf

banking Institution known as the “Ladies’
Deposit Company,which promised to pay
eight per cent, per month to depositors, aud
which 6eems to have done a thriving busi

Leaders lu Indiana.
Special Teleoram to the Homing News.
Washington, October 15.—The Republi
can managers are casting their eyes upon
Virginia and Florida, and intend to make
an effort to secure the electoral votes of
those States. They have made overtures to
the Readjusters in Virginia for a combina
tion based upon the promise of patronage,
but have met with a .repulse. They Intend
to send speakers to both States. George
C. Gorham it is intended to send to Florida
to whoop up the Republican cause. The
Republicans have gone crazy over the elec
tlons In Ohio and Indiana. They are claim
ing the next House and Senate, and already
talking about who they shall elect Speaker.
The Democrats acknowledge their defeat
In Ohio and Indiana, but see that it calls for
redoubled energies. They by no means con
sent that November will be a repetition of
October. New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey, with the South, will elect Hancock,
and to those States will be devoted undi
vided attention and the hardest sort of
work. New York is certainly Democratic.
Connecticut and New Jersey leaders assure
tbe managers that those States are all right
with good work. The managers will see that
no inch of ground is left without thorough
cultivation. While Tuesday’s election wa6
au unexpected blow, it by no means indl
cates final defeat. Upon this consideration
tbe rest of tbe camp^igu will be fought by
the Democratic party.
Indianapolis, October 15—A statement
having having been extensively published
that there was great dissatisfaction among
the Democrats with English and that a con
ference of the leading Democrats bad been
held, at which English was not pre-ent, at
which Hie subject of bis withdrawal from
the ticket was discussed, Mr. English pro
nounced the rumor of his withdrawal to be
utterly unfounded. It has never been men
tioned to him, and he knows of no reason
why it should be. He says he confidently
expects to be elected, and that Indiana will
be for Hancock aud English in November.
New York, October 15.—An Indianapolis

New York, October 15 —The National
Republican Committee met shortly after
noon to day, with Governor Jewell in the
chair. An address will be issued to the

Tbe address issued by the National Re
publican Committee to-day congratulates
the people of Indiana and Ohio, and the
Republican party all over the country upon
the success of the party in Indiana and
Ohio, and also upon the bright pros
pects of victory for the national ticket
In November. At the same time
it Impresses upon the people everywhere
the Importance of not relaxing their efforts
In the least, but of pressing their opponents
while they are suffering from the recent de
feat, and making their victory next month
doubly sure. It adds: “If every Republi
can will go earnestly to work, Garfield and
Arthur will secure the electoral vote of every
Northern State.”
New York, October 15—At a late hour
last night the Republican National Execu
tive Committee decided to direct their ef
forts to carry Florida, North Carolina and

would give a Republican majority on the
State ticket of 5,325.
INDIANA.
The contest in the Fifth district
is very close, and will require the official
vote to determine the result. The Repub
licans claim it by a small majority, which
would give the Republicans niue Congress
men to four Democrats. From the most
reliable returns received up to last evening
the Legislature will stand—Senate, 25
Democrats, 25 Republicans; the House 43
Democrats, 57 Republicans, a majority of
14 on joint ballot.
New York, October 14—The following
was received last night at tbe headquarters
of the Democratic National Committee :
Indianapolis, October 14.—To Hon.
Wrn. H., liamum: In this contest we
have encountered the resources of the
whole Republican party of the
United State?, and have suffered
a temporary defeat. In November we shall
encounter only the Republican party of
Indiana, without the machinery of its
deputy marshals, and confidently expect to
carry the State.
[Signed] Wm. H English.
Indianapolis, October 15 —Returns from
all but four counties, give a Republican ma
jority of 5,797. The counties to hear from
gave a Democratic majority in 1876 of 413.
ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATS OF INDIANA.
Indianapolis, October 15.—The Demo
cratic Executive Committee have issued
the following address:
To the Democratic and Independent Voters of
Indiana:
The result of the election last Tuesday
is a deep disappointment to us all. The
extent of the success which the Republican
part}* has achieved In this State is as much
a surprise to the Republicans as it is
to the Democrats, and proves that
a majority of the Republican party
were as ignorant of the means
which their corrupt leaders are employing,
as we were. The temporary loss of our
State is a calamity which time will enable us
to retrieve, but the iojury which our free
institutions will sustain, resulting from
the frauds and corruption practiced by the
Republican leaders, to secure their triufnph,
Is incalculable. Tbe causes which enabled
the Republican party to succeed in
the election are now plain’}* seen—
The success of th*ir scheme to Africanize
our gtate for political purposes: the corrupt
use of money for the purpose of obtaining
votes; the importation and use of repeaters
protected by deputy marshals, and the aid
derived by them from the use of the Fed
eral machinery of election under the pre
tense of supervising the election of mem
bers of Congress.
In the Presidential election we will not
have to encounter these forces to the same
extent as in our State. The corruption
fund will have to be divided among many
States. Their repeater* will be all at home,
and those who were discharged from the
arrest of deputy marshals on straw bail will
not be likely to make their appearance In
our State soon again. We shall have
no Federal marshals or Federal machinery
to contend against. We are thoroughly
united in our councils, and whatever our
adversaries may say to the contrary is un
true. We, therefore, call upon you not to
relax any of your efforts. Put some new
life and energy into your county and town
ship organlzitlon, and take all measures in
your power to bring out your full strength to
the polls. The same vote polled by us In
October, if polled in November, will secure
to us the State. The average majority
against us at the late election will not
exceed four thousand, and may fall below
that figure. This majority can and, in our
opinion, will be overcome In the Presi
dential election. A change of three votes
in each precinct will accomplish it.
Remember you have a leader in this con
test who never sounds a retreat, and he
commands an army that never surrenders.

A LETTER FROM GEN. HANCOCK.
His Yftw* on the Tarlfl' Question—
A Tariff for Revenue Incidentally
Protective—He Favors Some Such
Bill as Eaton’s.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
New York, October 15.—General Han
cock has written the following letter to ex-
Governor Randolph, of New Jersey, in
regard to tbe Interview published in the
Paterson Gardian:
“Governor’s Island, N. Y., Oct. 12.
“My Dear Governor: I have received your
favor of tbe 11th lost. Iu my letter of ac
ceptance, I expressed my full sympathy
with our American Industries. I thought I
spoke plainly enough to satisfy our
Jersey friends regarding my tariff
views. I am too sound an American to ad
vocate any departure from the general
features of the policy that has been largely
instrumental in building up our industries
and keeping Americans from competition
of the underpaid labor of Europe. If
we intend to remain honest and pay
the public debt, as the good people of
all parties do, and if we mean to
administer the functions of the government,
then we must raise a revenue In some way or
other. With a reunited and harmonious
country, we shall certainly, In time,
pay off the public debt, but the
necessity of raising money for the
administration of the government will
continue as long as human nature lasts. All
parties agree that the best way for us to
raise a revenue is largely by a tariff. So far
xs we are concerned, therefore,
all the talk about ‘free trade’
is folly, but the tariff question
will probably be treated with justice to all
our Interests and people by some such bill
as Eaton’s. I believe that a commission of
Intelligent experts, representing both the
government and American industries, will
suggest tariff measures that will
relieve us of any crudities and in
consistencies existing in our pres
ent laws, and confirm to us a
system which will be judicloua, just, har
monious and incidentally protective as well
as 6table in its effect. I am, very truly
yours, Winfield S. Hancock.

Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Atlanta. October 14.—The weather is rather
coquettish this week, clouds and dampness
frequently indicating the approach of rain,
but finally dispersing before the sunshine.
This creates fears of bad weather lingering
around to open on us in the midst of fair
week.
The Citizens' Committee will close its labors
in soliciting money to-day. Only about $2,500.
half the amount desired, has yet been secured
to entertain the military visitors. It is hoped,
however, that to-day's operations will add
large sum to that already on hand. The crowd
of soldiers will not be as large as anticipated,
as the Seventh Regiment and some other com
mands have decided not to come.
Under a big tent in the rear of the Markham
House, with a handsome entrance through the
hotel park, the Gate City Guardis) are holding
their fair. It is hardly In full operation, yet
enough is arranged to show that it will be _
grand exhibition, and if fail- weather continues
for the next ten days, it will a’so be a
grand success. The booths are elegantly
decorated and in charge of. Atlanta's most
beautiful and accomplished ladies, and at night,
under the elfctric light, the scene is really
brilliant. Next week, with a thousand hand
some soldiers in the crowd, the scene will be
dazzling indeed.
It is useless to write or telegraph here for
rooms at hotels, as there are none to be had in
that way. A man must come here and take
his chance. He may or he may not get a room
at a hotel, but five hundred lxtarding and pri
vate houses propose to take in all they can
accommodate. Visitors must run a ri k in the
matter of sleeping quarters, and also hustle
around quite lively to get anything to eat. No
matter how few soldiers come now, the notice
has gone forth that ten thousand are coining,
and this fact will a raw here fifty thousand
spectators, one-third of whom will want sleep-
i ig places somewhere. SavannaU people com-
i g here had better fit up sleeping cars and in
tnat way be sure of a place to sleep, as sleep
ing cars will be used by our hotels here.
minor topics.
Colonel C. W. Anderson and lady have been
at the Markham House and visited the fair of
the Gate City Guard. Lieutenant Colonel W.
S. Basinger and lady have also been among the
visitors.
Preparations are being made to do the best
that can be done to entertain the crowd next
week. The Markhazn Home has engaged sev
eral elegant sleeping cars, to be switched on
the side track adjoining the end of the house.
Every room is taken in the house.
Atlanta never had such a cleaning up before,
and if she don’t put her best foot foremost
next week it will not be from lack of effort.
Everybody seems to be impressed with the im
portance of making a grand display of the re
sources of the city in the way of enterprise.
The United States Marshal has attached the
property of steam fire engine company R. E
Lee, of this city, for debt, in the interest of
Northern creditors, and advertised rhe same
for sale. This is to be regretted, as the Atlanta
fire department is one of tbe best and most
efficient in the South.
The friends of Cap r ain Jacob B. Rawles and
his batter}-, of the Fifth United States Artil
lery, will deeplr regret to know that it is his
command that has yellow fever at Key West,
It will be remembered that the battery
Fla.
come here from Savannah, but was subsequent
ly ordered to Key West. Major George P. An
drews. who came with this battery from Sa
vannah, is now Lieutenant Colonel of another
regiment, and is stationed in California.
There is a great demand for a really good
book on “Vegetable Gardening and Fruit Cul
ture” in the South, and the prize offered by
the enterprising proprietor of the Morning
News ana Southern Farmer's Monthly has
already created much favorable comment. It
will, no doubt, result in giving to the public
work on this subject in every way adapted to
the soil and climate of the Southern States.
In South Georgia and Florida such a work
will prove a priceless boon to vegetable and
fruit growers.
POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Ex-Congressman W. P. Price. Colonel J. S.
Boynton and Hon. Henry D. McDaniel, are
prominently spoken of for President of the
State Senate. Colonel Price has had consid
erable experience in public life, and Senator
McDaniel has been in the Senate for several
years.
There are numerous aspirants for the Si
ership of the Hosse, and the contest will no
doubt be quite lively. Speaker A. O. Bacon
teems to be most favorably spoken of for re
election, but Hoo. W. M. Hammond, Hon. J
H. Polhill, Hon. A. J. Hansell, and Hon. N
Hutchins, are being pressed by their
speetive friends. Ail are old members exce]
General Hansell, who, however, has served
previous years.
Amidst the closing scenes of the late election
occurred the death of two men prominently
known in Georgia politics of late years. I
refer to Hon. James J. Turnbull, of Banks, and
Hon. Parrish D. Davis, of Baker. The former
was a graduate of the University of Georgia,
and took a conspicuous part in the Legislature
in electing Senator Hill. The latter was one
of the members of the last Legislature sought
to be bribed in the interest of Comptroller
General Goldsmith.
I see but few familiar names in the list of
members of the new General Assembly. In
the Senate out of forty-four Hon. Henry D.
McDaniel, of the Twenty-seventh district, is
the only Senator re-elected. In the Home
there are Hon. W. M. Hammond, of Thomas:
Hon. J. H. Polhill, of Jefferson: Hon. T. W.
Milner, of Bartow: Hon. E. A. Perkins, of

RADICAL CONGRESSMEN.
The Republicans in this section are jubilant
over Indiana and Ohio, aud post lively assert
the certainty of defeating Colonel Black In
your district, and Captain Turner in the Sec
ond district It will be necessary for every
Democrat in both districts io be at the polls
and vote for Black and Turner. No time is to
be lost in canvassing the highways and byways
in every direction, that no careelss voter may
be overlooked. Money is being furnished lib
erally from the North and from here, and more
will follow, to enable both districts to be car
ried for the Republicans. It must be work,
work, work, till election day on the part of the
Democrats to avert this pre mised defeat Bcl
ter that Felton, Speer, Rulgey and pou—
all Democrats in one sense—should be elected
over regular nominess, than that one true blue
Republican should defeat a Democrat. Our
fight up here is among Democrats; yours is
with Republicans, and is now against the
raonev, influence and power of the national
Republicans of the North and Wfst. Eternal
vigilance is required.

General E. P. Alexander was in Atlanta yes
terday, on his way home from Augusta, and
was warmly congratulated on his ;.ommg pro
motion to the first Vice iM-esidency or the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The BIorn-
ing News was the first newspaper to fully set
forth the ability of General A. as a rising rail
road manager, and his brilliant career a*j
Pr* sident of the Georgia r^ilr»>ad has been
eclipsed bvhis pr^ore recent and grander tri
umphs w]th the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road. He has brought order out of confusion
and harmonized a 1 conflicting interests with
the Cincinnati Southern Railway. He is virtu
ally to day the great controlling head of the
business v not flnaiiciali affairs of that immense
corporation, and as q true Georgian he will
manage its affairs in no way calculated to in-
. ure the prosperity of the dentral Railroad or
' be Georgia Rail road, with both of which he has
held pleasant official relations. Savannah will
always find in him an official ever ready to do
; ustice to her claim for a liberal share of
Western freight.

A Crime in Holland Resembllnc
Charley Ross Case Here—The Per
petrator Demanding a Ransom
Refore Abducting tbe Hoy —Kill
ing tbe Victim lor Fear of Dis
covery—A Contesslon.
A crime resembling the Charley Rose
case in Philadelphia has just been com
mitted in the quiet capital of Holland.
On September 23, at about three o’clock
in the afternoon, a handsome and well
dressed young man called in a carriage
at the normal school of a M Bouscholte,
on the Koningenne Gracht, at The
Hague, and asked for a boy of thir
teen years of age, named Marius
Boogardt, for whom, the stranger said,
his parents had sent. The principal of
the institution, seeing that the boy knew
the visitor, permitted him to .quit the
school. They boy took his cap and
gladly availed’ himself of his teacLer s
permission. On entering the cab the lad
inquired of his escort “whether his mam
ma had not gone to Schevingen. ” “Yes.”
replied the latter, perceiving that the
boy was informed of his mother’s intend
ed movements; “but we are to wait for
her at a certain peasant's house on tbe
dunes which she will pass on her re
turn.” The woman, however, had chang
ed her mind, and had remained at home.
One hour later, school being over, and
the boy not having put in his appear
ance, his mother sent for him, when she
learned that the boy had left with some
one who claimed to have been detailed
by her for the purpose of taking him
home. Alarmed by this revelation, the
lady at once set in motion the police, and
active seaich was instituted. In the
meantime a letter arrived to the address
of her husband and bearing The Hague
postmark, which announced to the d s
tressed family that the boy Mar us had
been kidnapped, but would be restored
on payment of 75,000 florins in back
notes, it a female messenger was sent
for him to a spot not very clearly desig
nated. Tbe letter stated furthermore
that the boy was held as a prisoner and
kept without “food, and that he would
be killed immediately if the police were
informed.
On the morning of the 25th one of tbe
rural constabulary found in a clearing
on the road to Loosduinen the lifeless
body of young Boogardt. The hands
and feet were tied and his head lay on
his school bag. He had been strangled
and had received seven stabs from a
dagger, one of which was mortal. Be
side the bo<ly laj* a paper, on which was
written: “The seventy five thousand
florins were only a pretext. It is ven
geance that I want. All is not finished
yet.” Of the murderer there was no
trace. On the aflernoon ot the same
day the hackman who had driven the
visitor to the school was discovered, but
he gave no information of any service
toward establishing the identity of the
criminal. He had scarcely caught a
glimpse of him when at the gate
of the city he had dismounted
and paid the fare. The vessels
in the harbor about to sail were slopped
and searched, but nothing could be dis
covered about the man. Suspicion had
been directed toward a dismissed man
servant of Mr. Boogardt’a, who, on
leaving his situation, had been beard to
use threatening langnage. A reward of
2,000 florins was offered for his appre
hension, and, on the 27th. he was found
and arrested in a house of bad repute
at Amsterdam. This man, Hendrick
Poulviquet.was taken to The Hague and
confronted with the different persons
who had seen him at the school aod on
the dunes with the boy on the day of
th« murder. These witnesses all de
clared that there was no resemblance
between the prisoner and the criminal.
Poulviquet was therefore dircharged.
A cable dispatch to the Telegram sajs
that one William Marianus Jongh, a
clerk to the Minister of the Colonies, of
which the boy’s father was formerly
Secretary General, has been arrested on
his own confession, made to his sister.
He said that when they arrived on the
dunes he sought a quiet place, where he
threw the boy on the ground and bound
bis hands and feet with cord.
“Remain here,” he said to Marius,”
till I return with the money I have de
manded from your father. Stop your
crying if you do not want to be killed.”
He covered the youth with bis coat and
started to go, but the boy cried so loud!}
that he returned. Fancying he heard
footsteps, he look his sword out of his
walking stick and killed the child, stab
bing him seven times in tbe breast He
then fled to Schevingen, washed his hands
at the seashore, and returned to The
Hague, after having thrown away his
sword stick in a little channel hy the
roadside.
After his avowal of his crime bis sis
ter asked him what motive had for
the horrible deed. He answered:
‘I saw our father die in poverty. As
for myself, I could not make my way in
India' but I had a place in the'same of
flee where father worked, with no better
prospects than he had. What would be
my mother’s lot and yours? I wished
to assure to her a comfortable old age
and when I heard from a family who
are acquainted with his circumstances
that Mr. Boogardt was a very rich man.
I was seized with a desire to constrain
him to give me money by stealing away
his only aon. I didn’t intend to kill the
child, exoept in case he should possibly
become my accuser. My only motive
was my desire for money. Nobody as
sisted me either before or at the mur
der.”
