TRIMBLE RIGGERS.
The Old Game Exposed—Jefferson
*I.OOO Poorer After a Visit from
Giles’ Circus.
From the Athene (Ga.) Banner- Watehmetn.
The old three-card monte game and the
thimble trick has been exposed so often,
it was thought that there was not a school
boy in the country green enough to be
caught by it. But from the amount of
money won by the followers of Giles’ cir
cus, it seems that all the fools are not
dead yet. The principal game by which
they fleeced the unsuspecting at Jeffer
son, Harmony Grove, Carnesviile
and other places, has been exposed a
thousand tunes, and is as old as
the hills. The man who opens
the game has the half of three Eugiish
walnut shells. Tnese shells are put
down on a table, and a little ball about
the size of a buckshot, is put under one
of the shells, and then commences the
work ot throwing the ball from one shell
to another. A man who goes with the
concern steps up, and without any trou
ble raises the shell that covers the ball
and picks up S2O for his trouble. This
man is called a “capper,” and has an in
terest in the game. Soon
another “capper” comes up
and uneflvers the little ball, and he, too,
walks offapparently twenty dollars ahead.
The unsuspecting countryman, seeing
how easy it is done, tries his luck, but to
his utter astonishment the little ball does
not happen to be under the shell that he
picks up, and he is minus twenty dollars,
it is impossible to win at the game,
as the twist of the wrist is quicker
than the eye. These thimble-rig
gers had a perfect harvest at
Jefferson, taking away about SI,OOO. One
man lost S3OO of his hard-earned money.
Another Jeffersonian, who w r as always
considered “up to snuff,” won S4O. which
was ouly thrown out as a bait, and he got
caught tor his winnings and S4O besides.

A Terror to Yankees.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
In the winter of ’O4 business called mo
for a few days to a small town in South
ern Alabama, near the Florida line. At
that time several hundred Confederates
were stationed there, and the commander
ol the post was one Col. Jepp,. The Fed
erals were gradually advancing their
lines, and their forces frequently crossed
the Perdido river, which was about 10
miles below tbe village.
This Col. Jepp. tbe post commander,
was a character. When I first saw him
he impressed me rather favorably. He
was about 40 years old, 6 feet high, with a
dark complexion, flashing eyes, and long
black hair. He looked every inch a sol
dier, and seemed to take little interest in
anything outside of his military duties.
In the course of a day or two I heard a
good deal about him and bis peculiarities.
The colonel went out one night with a
scouting party. In the morning l heard
of the expedition, and learned that six
federate had been surprised and captured.
Out of curiosity 1 inquired where the
prisoners ware. A young lieutenant
lauglunviy replied:
“We lost them. When Col. Jepp gets
anv prisoners, you know, he alwas loses
them.”
1 understood the full import of these
w oras.
“So they were shot,” I said.
“Yes, the colonel shot them himself.”
I ventured to suggest that it was unu
sual for an officer ot his rank to adopt the
methods of gueri’las and bushwhackers,
“Oh, its all right,” said the officer care
lessly. “I wouldn’t do it myselt but I
don't blame poor Jepp.”
This remark puzzled me. Why should
this man be privileged to butcher helpless
prisoners?
The next day there was another scout
ing expedition, and when the soldiers re
turned I heard that their commander had
again distinguished himself. This time a
Federal Lieutenant rode right into the Con
federates and was captured before he un
derstood the situation. lie was a handsome
youth, and in his belt were two ivory
handled revolvers. Hie captors relieved
him ot his weapons, and after dismount
ing him tied bis hands benind bis hack.
Col. Jepp then directed the men to ride on
down tbe road and leave him with the
prisoner. A moment. later the soldiers
heard a pistol shot and tue Colonel re
joined them without the prisoner.
“He lost him?” 1 suggested.
“Yes, he lost him,” was the significant
answer. “The colonel likes to catch Yan
kees, but be is unlucky about bringing
them to headquarters.”
My comments upon Jepp’* high-handed
and bloody methods were freely made and
were rather bitter. On* of tne officers,
with whom I bad struck up an acquaint
ance, listened in silence and theu said:
“Poor Jepp!”
My interest was aroused, and I asked
tor an explanation.
“It is a short story,” said my com
panion, “but Hit re fs a good deal in it.
Youreco leet when Sherman made bis big
raid through Mississippi. Well, the hor
rors of that merciless march has never
been thoroughly shown up. lu Sherman’s
army were some of the vilest (leiperado.'*
that ever wore a uniform. On the raid
thsy burned, plunde.ed and inaltrea'ed
non-combatants wuuout respecting either
age or sex. lu their track lay the planta
tion of Col. Jepp. I'nerc was nobody at
home except Hie Colonel's mother, an old
lady of 70. and a few faithful family ser
vants. It Is almost impossible to believe
it, but alter the main teidy of tbe troops
had passed, a lew stragglers guit and the
mansion and then burned It. They
were about to leave when they saw
old Mrs. Jepp looking on at the burning
house with tears raining down her cheeks.
The ruffians laid vtoleut hands on the
feeble and frightenod woman, and asked
her where she had concealed her money
and jowslry. She protested that she had
none except wnat bad been found In the
house. What she said went for nothing.
Tbe scoundrels tied her hands, stripped
her to the waist and gave her forty lashes
with a cowhide. The victim fainted under
tbe terrible torture, but that was not
enough. The robbers restored her to con
sciousness aud bung her to a tree until
she was black In the face. Then they let
her down, and finding it impossible to
learn anything from her one of the gang
knocked her down, and they all rode off
U “Can'such things be possibleP’l asked.
“The story Is only too true. Well, air,
when Jepp heard this he was like a
maniac for a time. His mother died In a
Tew weeks, and since then he has made it
his business, night and day. to hunt and
kill yankees. You may call this wrong.
You may say the man is mad. Peritaiit

he is, but he is the most useful man that
coulu be found for this post. If It. wasn’t
tor their mortal tear of him the yankees
would cross (the I’erdido aud move on
up here. As it is they regard him as a
regular devil.”
the next day I left the place, and saw
no more of Col. Jepp. Two months later
he was shot and killed on one of bis expe
ditions by a federal rifleman concealed in
a tree.
An Atlanta Man Cured of Fits.
From the Hartwell (Ga) Sun.
Everybody about Hartwell knows John
Dunn. John, although scarcely out of his
teens, Is all of six feet in his stockings and
has as good a stock of brawn and muscle
as any riody of his age and size. Ho is a
perfect specimen physically of the genus
homo, and we doubt if a man In Hart can
“homo” corn aud cotton than he.
John gives a vivid description of his ex
perience while in prison in Atlanta for an
“infringement of the revenue laws,” which
is but a delicate way of informing the
public that he had been engaged in tbs
moonshine business.
After John had served his time, and was
told to go and sin no more, he determined
to stay one night iu the great Southern
metropolis as a free mau. As John’s
purse was rather depleted, ho began to
search for a cheap boarding-house. A
man referred him to a widow lady’s house,
where be secured supper, lodging and
breakfast, all fortho moderate charged 75
cents. The widow informid him that rob
beries were frequent, and that if he had
any money he had better give it to her for
safe keeping. John handed over $7, the
extent of his worldly affluence.
John was put. in a room with several
sinister looking individuals, and ho felt
“sorter oneasy.” They wanted to put out
the light at bed time, but John avowed be
couldn’t see to sleep at night without a
light, aud they let him have his way
about it. John occupied a bed to himself,
and the others another bed. One of them
remarked that he was sunject to tits, and
asked if be should have one in the night,
for the crowd to catch him and hold him,
to keen him from hurting anybody.
John retired, but not to sleep. Visions
of robbery and murder thronged his brain,
and he got more and more “oneasv.” He
kept one eye fixed with dread fascination
on the other bed.
Along about midnight he saw the quilts
on tbe other bed suddenly begin to shiver
and jerk, and all tbe men jumped out of
bed, crying out: “He’s got a fit! He’s
got a tit! Come and help us hold him!”
Tue “titified” individualalsosprangout
of bed, his eyes glaring amt teeth gnash
ing, and grasping an ax that happened to
lie in the room started toward John, who
stood in the middle ol the room. John
thought he saw through a dettly arranged
scheme to rob him, and exclaiming:
“That feller hain’t got no fit I” let drive
with his sledge-hammer fist aud struck
Fitz William on the nose, fell
ing him to the floor. Fitz Pat
rick tastily scrambled out of the
room on ail-fours with a Fitz Hugh
colored liquid flowing from his nostrils.
John then slammed the door to and pick
ing up the axe which Fitz Maurice had
dropped, and placing his back against the
door, quietly asked if any more of them
were likely to have a tit. They all swore
that they never had bad a fit in their
lives. John told them that he had just
$7 to bet that he could cure the worst
case of fits in Atlanta in two seconds by
the watch—no cure no pay.
John was not further molested, but he
says be has bad enough of the (Prison)
Gate City.
The First Alarms at Fort Morgan.
From the America* (Ga.) Recorder.
When the Madisou Rules first reached
Fort Morgan, Ala., in April, 1881, they
were not provided with tents, aud slept
out on the white sand around the fort.
There was an Irishman in the company
named Authony Judge, as witty a fellow
as ever hailed from old Erin. About 10
o’clock of the first night after arrival,
while all the company except picket
guards, stationed a mile off, were asleep,
a stiff breeze sprang up and the loose sand
drifted swiftly over tbe sleepers, ana soon
had some of them covered. Anthony was
the first to awaken and not seeing sll
the forme of the sleeping men yelled:
“Capt. Coltart! Captain! Wake up; a
h—l of a shnow starm has ris, and the last
mother’s son if ye will he entirely drowned
if ye ain’t up.” The drummer heard the
noise, beat the long roll, and in a few
minutes it resounded in every camp
around. The guards were doubled, com
panies htirriea over tbe beach, but as it
was feared Col. Hardee, who was then
commandant there, would punish An
thony he was never reported.
Atout an hour later another yell was
heard from the gulf side of the beach from
one of the pickets, who had been posted
while the tide was out. and ordered not to
leave his post. The poor fellow had never
been In eight of salt water before, and
when the tide came rolling in. stood to
h.s post. When tbe water bad risen to
his waist, he commenced yell
ing for the corporal , of the
guard. The corporal was at the other
end of the line, so the officer of the guard
went to the call. He lound his man In
water up to his neck, but still detei mined
to stay until he was ordered back. lie
said to the officer: “There bas been the
a- biggest rain somewhere youns
bas heard of; tbiscrik has ris twenty foot
an hour.” tie was relieved and sent to
camp.
A Kcmarkable Town.
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald.
The latest phase in the development ol
WeUhton, tbe new and vigorous town on
the Florida Southern Railway, is ol so in
teresting and remarkable a character as to
deserve editorial mention.
Only two years ago Mr. John H. Welsh,
of Erie, i’oiiusylvania, with some money
in his poekot and some mortal warnings
sounding iu hi* lunge, came to Florida a
physical wreck, seeking to prolong a life
ot which he hud already twice rend the
obituary, lie purchased several tbousaud
acres of land among the pines ol Man>>n
county and set to work reso
lutely. and after the usual ap
proved methods to build a town.
Within a year from the time of its pur
chase, Welsbton was a village of several
hundred inhabitants, with schools,
oburches, saw-mills, a fine hotel and a
handsome depot. Hix months ago the
Lake Wyomi orange grove, the largest In
tue world, was planted in it a suburbs.
People nan in these developmeui* ouly
the repetition of the history of many otaer
bright Fmrida towns, and expected noth
ing more ot Welshton for vpars to come.
But the active founder <>f the town
thought differently. Hinee his advent
into Florida, ho has been revolving in his
mind, the advantages ol a Swiss aud Ital
ian immigration colony, and out of these
lucubrations have culminated an arrange
ment wuleh, upon Usually consumma
tion, will make of Welsbton, one ot the
phenomenal towns of the country, lifted
at one bound of enterprise from a country
hamlet, to a thriving city of (jjioi) people!
l'ninli ot it, while we exolaln.
Four prominent banks iu Italy and
Switzerland team'd readily to a proposed
scheme of extensive colonization In tide
now world-famous Florida.
Upou the boundary lines of Italy and
Hwitzerland, in and around the provincial
border town of Chaisso, lived a hardy and
industrious class of tbe people ot both
countries, industrious and thrifty, but
poor enough to listen to propositions of
change to an Eldorado aoross the sea.
The banks formed a syndicate. Capt. $7.
V. Conti, an Italian of prominence and
energy, was made genera) manager of tbe
Italian - Swiss - American Colonization
Company, and on bis first landing In
America mat with some of tbe friends of
genial John Welsh, of Welshton, who
oper.*(l up between them negotiations
which were apecdlly brought to an event
ful conclusion.
By tlie tern* of th!a agreement. 138 of
the Chaisso community have already ar
rived and are comfortably settled at
AVelshtou, and sending back glow ing ac
counts to their native land. Four hun
dred of their fellow countrymen from the
same locality are already "embarked, and
are expected to pass through Jack
sonville on thefr way to the new
town on Dec. 22. Eleven hundred and
fifty have completed arrangements, se
cured passage, aud will arrive in Janu
ary. It is contracted by the e unpanv to
land in VVelshton, by Aug. 1, 1,000
families front the Chaisso communi
ty! As the Italians are a prolific people,
the lowest average of each family w ill in
clude six people, so that by every reason
able certainty of tne fulfillment by u relia
ble eompauy of a stipulated agreement,
this town of Welsbtou, now numbering
300 people, will contain before fall a thrif
ty , working population of 6,000 souls!
The foreign syndicate pays the full
transportation aud other expenses of
each of these people for three months
after their arrival here. Capt. Conti bas
purchased from Capt. W'elsii 2,300 acres
ot excellent pine land for $03,250, and
these new settlers are to be located upon
it. They will not engage in the growing
of oranges. They will begin, first, tbe
cultivation of vegetables, and collaterally
the cultivation of grapos, in both of
which they are thoroughly skilled. Uis
hoped that at the end of three months
their intelligent culture of vegetables
will ntako each family self-supporting.
The company will derive its profit from a
subsequent sale to each family of the
lands on which they are settled, and on a
percentage of their earnings until they
are able to buy. It will make a vineyard
aud vegetable Italy of this portion of Ma
rion couuty, and make Welshton at a
bound the fourth city in population in the
State.
