A SAD STORY.
A Secret Marriage in Detroit,
With its Tragic Sequel—Tlic
Awful Ending of a Vatcliing

From the Detroit Free Prejs.]
On Friday even ng it wns known
that, a lady had lost her lifts by drown
ing on Lake St. Glair, but it was im
possible to obtain lull particnlais of
tin* tragedy. On Saturday evening
the husannd > f tins lady arrived from
Alt. Clemens by the Brand Trunk

Great. Western Hoad lor his home in
Ch i.ham. Ontario, having with him

and expected their son, when he in ar
id and, to make wlnit is culled n good
mutch, as lie seems lo he a talent b
voting man, and of undoubted hand
some appearance. II oveve •, lie fell
in love with Elcnndor Powell, a bmiu
tifu 1 mid accomplished young Ei-gl sh
girl, who came lately with her pawn s
to this country. The two families
seem to have been on intimate term?,
as Miss Powell’s brother married a
sister of Mr. Soup. But reverses
came and -.iss Powell's parents both
died, leaving the family in cotnpara
live poverty. Mr. Soop’s parents
then became bitterly opposed to his
marriage with Miss Powell, and lie
was apparently forced to give her up.
Miss Powell went to Dresden to live
with relatives there, and Mr. S. contin
u, and to work, seemedly Contented, m
his father's hotel. But meantime the
young people were making pr para
tions for a secret martiage. On the
30th of May last Mr. Soop came from
Chatham and Miss Powell from Dres
den to Detroit, and they were mar
ried at the Episcopal rooms, 53 Wood
ward avenue, with only two friends,
a lady and gentleman, as witnesses.
So great was the dread of parental
displeasure that the young couple de
termined to keep the marriage a se
cret, and the first and only intimation
the parents ever nad of it was the
to.lowing tragic telegram,sent yester
day:
“Nellie is my wife ; she is dead ;
pleahe make arrangements to meet us
to-night at the depot.”
Mr. Suop visited his wife several
tunes at Dresden, and as he is in llm
habit annually of taking a summer
cruise outlie St. Clair Flats,he asked
bis bride to come with him this year,
and said it would be their wedding
tour. She gladly assented, and he
began to make arrangement for their
trip. He built anew yacht, which
was finished and launched on Monday
last, aud on Tuesday it arrived here
in tew ol the Stein hoff. On the same
day his young wite catne from Dres
deh, and on Wednesday husband and
wife started on their tatal excursion.
They reached tho Clinton ltiver that
evening. They enjoyed themselves
extremely, and Mr. Soop says they
seemed to have almost too much hap
piness. All persons they became ac
quainted wiTi did their best to make
the trip agreeable. On Friday morn
ing, about 7 o’clock, they bade good
bye to their hosts ou shore, and start
ed out to continue their journey to
the Flats. Mr. Soop was teaching his
wite hew to manage the boat and she
was uidighed with the novelty of the
■ situation. She sat at the helm and
stoured tlie yacht while bo reefed the
mainsail and let nut llie jib, us the
wind was blowing rather fresh. As
lie stood up be saw a steam barge
coming directly toward them from the
Clinton River. Just then his wife
said: “O, J’in. lam afraid wo'.l run
into that black log’’ (meaning the
buoy, winch was near them.) He
told her what the bl-ick log was, di
rect ng her how 10 steer to avoid it;
htii little did he think as he gave
these instruct! 11s that he had heard
his wife utter her last Words in Miis
world. Looking up lie saw the barge
almost d'rectly on them. He says
dint at tint instant lie remembered a
friend ef his who was run down in a
boat and was lost under it, so he call
ed his wife io bis side, and, clasping
tier hand, both awaited the moment
.•I collision. One lran stood at tlie
bow of the barge and seemed horror
stricken, ami did nothing but wave
his hands. Just as tlie barge struck
the yacht, Mr. Hoop cried out: “Port
your helm ! Don’t you see you'd run
us down?’’ But it was no use, every
one on board the barge seemed par
alyzed, and the next instant the
steamer crasln-d into the helpless
boat. Air. Soon and his wife sprang
into the water just as the barge
struck, and wme whirled around and
| around by the eddies. He, being an
I expert, swimmer, kept his wife up and
j shouted for help, but the imbecncs on
the barge looked at him as if they did
not know what to do. “It was an
j awiul moment,” said Ah'. Soop to the
iicporer ‘‘l wi l never forget it, I
think I sec yet the pale, tenor strick
j on face of that old man who was look
ing down at us—but be never moved
io help us.” Mi. So p encouraged
his wife, and told her not to speak ns
slm might get water in her inoirb.
She, like a bravi- little woman, caught
lm!d of him ligh ly by the coat, leav
ing his arms free so a- not to impede
his sa iinming. “I oft: n told her if
wo were ever thrown in the water not
to clasp me or we would both drown
; together : and she never said a word
j bat Hidexactly us I had bidden her,
J aml when I looked at her, she smiled,
|io show ine she was not aliaid.” At
i ! ast they got among the weeds, wh eh
entangled Mrs. Soup’s dress, s-o that
I no p ogress could be made towards
lie buoy. Mr. Soup then ins ructed
tins wife to work hands and feet to
keep herself alloaf, while he would
swim to ihe buoy and cut it loose and
! pu-.li it. to her. She managed to keep
I afloat mini lie came to the bouv and
1 1 In u a wave ovciwh lined her, and
j she ti I'e.v up her hands and sunk.
Hie barge meanwhile had rounded
to, and two men approached in a
small boat and picked up the drown
ing man. The husband, frantic with
g.icf, upbra (led the fooii-h barge
men for not thorw ing something sver
board to cling to. He was taken to
the Star Island Ilou-e, and thence to
Detroit on the Marine City
.The body of Mrs. Soop was found
The unlay morning at 8 o’clock by a
party of four from Alt. Clemens. She
was about twenty feetfrom where she
sunk, and her hands were full of
weeds, sle wing that she grasped
them in sinking, which prevented her
from rising again.
Mrs. Soop was eighteen years old.
“Liitlodidl think,” said Mr. Soop,
“that our week’s trip would end us it
did."
Horrors of Siiipba Valleys.
War has made ilie once beautiful
Vale of Roses, and neighboring val
leys south of the Shipka Pass, a do
sert tided with horrors. A corres
pondent of the London Times writes:
“All the Way from Shipka to Yeni
Saghra, at which place we took the
rail, flic air is polluted with the re
mains of the killed. The bodies of
men women and children are to be
met with in all stages of decomposi
tion at the roadsides, in the cornfields
and gardens, on the banks of streams
and in the beds of rivulets. Some
hundreds were chok'ng the sh dlow
river within a quarter of a mile from
where we camped at Yeni Saghra.
Desolation and ruin appeared along
the whole way. Tho remains of for
mally prosperous villages, which it
was impossible to pitch tent even
near, rippling mountain streams in
which our horses refused to drink,
the howling of wolves aiouund us at,
night, brought dow from the moun
tains earlier than usual by the horrid
least prepared for them (the larges - I
have ever seen lay dead, eviden'ly
recently she by the roadside) not far
from Yeni Saghra, and, worse, the
occasionalithi ieks from human beings,
followed by solitary reports, which
made one shudder more than the
night air—all these eights and sounds
went to form one groat horrible
phantasmagoria, which none of us are
likely to live long enough to remem
ber without pain.

Democratic Mass Meeting Yes
teiday.
In pursuance to the call of the
Democratic Executive Committee o!
Muscogee county, the Democracy ol
this com.tv met at the Court House
yesterday at 11 o’ciock a. m. On
motion of Dr. John E. Bacon, Col.
F. G. Wilkins was called to the chair.
Col. Wilkins, upon opening tlm meet
ing, stated the object for which it had
been called —to take into considi l’a
tion the request of Chattahoochee
and Marion count i< s for Muscogee to
rend delegates to tile Senatorial Con
vention which will meet in this city
on Tuesday next. The chairman
farther stated that it would be proper
at this uneting lor Muscogee county
to state her position in regard to the
question of a Senatorial n mination
for this District. An impression iad
gotten abroad that the ‘’rotating’'
plan, which had been in operation
for some time past, was now in vogue
He said that no binding agreemen*
had ever been enter t and into by Mus
cogee that she would adhere to this
plan. For h mself. ne thought the
plan very objectionable, and he was
utterly opposed io it. He hoped the
me. ting would give direction to the
question. The Chairman then de
clared the meeting open for business.
On motion of Ciipt. Reese Craw
ford, Dr. W. T. Pool Was elected Sec
retary.
J.J.- Chappell Offered
the following resolutions :
Whereas, The Democratic paity
of Muscogee c unity ha, been invited
by the D, inoer.icy of Chattahoochee
and Mali, n counties, to meet them in
a Senatorial convention to be held in
the city of Columbus on the 13th of
Nov. 1877, to lake inio consideration
the nomination of a Senator.
Be it therefore resolved, That we,
the Demooi acy of Muscogee county
in mass nn ct ing assembled, repre
senting tlie sentiments of thegieat
body of the people of this county,
ami wishing to meet our Democratic
brethren of Chattahoochee and Ma
rion counties in a spirit of fraternal
kindness, do heteoy appoint the fol
lowing delegates with power to ap
point their alternates to represent
Muscogee county in the coming Sen
atorial conventional of the 24ih Sen
atorial Dis rici: Dr. Jno. E. Bacon,
T. J- Nuckolls, A. J Odom, A. A.
Boyd, L C. Levy and Geo. W. Rad
cliff.
Col. W. L. Salisbury moved to
amend the resolution by striking
therefrom the names. He did not
object to any of the gent lemen named,
but he thought it contrary to piece
dent for committees to be, appointed
in the body of resolutions. The cus
tom had always been for he meeting
to name committees through its chair
man. The amendment was accepted.
The resolution as adopted required
the chairman to appoint a committee
ol seven lo confer together, and re
port, a committee of six delegates to
the meeting, which committee should
be scut to represent Muscogee in the
convemion. The chair appointed
the following committee: Col. W. L.
Saulsbury, Col. M. H. Blandford, Drs.
Jno. E, Bacon and D. W. Johnson,
Col. W. A. Little, Messrs. T. J. Nuck
olls and C, B. Grimes.
This committee retired and after
consultation x etuined with the follow
ing report:
The committee recommended that
the delegation to the Senatorial Con
vention be increased to nine, and that
the delegation meet the delegation of
Marion and Chattahoochee counties
and act as instructed by this meeting,
and the committee further recom
mended the following gentlemen as
delegates: Dr John E. Bacon, T.
J. Nuckolls, A. J. Odom, A. A. Boyd,
L. C. Levy, G. W. Radcliff, W. L.
Saulsbury, D. W. Johnson and Thos.
J. Chappell.
The report of the committee was
received and adopted.
Col. Blandford then introduced the
following resolutions.
Whereas, the Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Democratic
Party of Muscogee county lias called
the party together to take into con
sideration the action of a meeting re
cently held at Cusseta, in the county
of Chattahoochee, by certain citizens
and Democrats of that county and the
county of Marion; and
Whereas, our great respect for our
Democratic brethren demands that
I we should give said matter our pro
found consideration—regarding, a-
I we do, the region of territory tor.ni
| ing the Twenty-fourth Senatorial I) s
■ I rictus embracing' only one political
] division of this State, and in theselcc
-1 tion of a candidate to represent that
. List rot, we do not think it proper to
| inquire as to the locality of his res'-
j den, c, or upon which side of a coun
| ty line or cm ck he miv reside, but
rather to look alone to the qualifica
tions of such a candidate; and
Wheieas, we are unalterably op
posed to the “rotation system”—a
system which is pregnant with evil to
the best interests ol the Deinocrati
(tarty and of the State, and
Whereas, The question of repre
sentation is an important one, and
should receive our careful attention
and consideration, and the delegates
to such convention should be selected
on some principal of equity and jus
tice, and not on the arbihary rule
which has heretofore prevailed in ap
propriating so many delegates from
each county composing the district
without regard to population or Dem
ocratic vo eis, and because we thick
that a fair rule would be for each
county to appoint one delegate for
every hundred Democratic voters and
the fractional part thereof over fifty,
ensuring thereby representation to
the entire party in the convention; a
sate guide to determine the number
of 1) tnocrauc voters in each county
would be the vote cast in the Presi
dential elections immediately preced
ing the assembling of t he convention,
this means wo think being the best
Ti st is aVadablo and one which will
nearesi approximate the truth: and
Whereas. That if we adopt this
plan of appertaining delegates among
the several counties composing this
district, it will be easy to find the
number <1 delegates to which enCh
county will be entitled, because the
votes cast for the Democratic candi
date at the last Presidential election
were 1,828 lor the couny of Muse >-
gee, 583 for Marion, and 03(1 for
Chattahoochee, under which appoint
ment, by the above plan Muscogee
would be entitled to eigSttecn dele
gates, Marion six ami Chattahoochee
six, allowing one delegate for each
one hundred Democratic vo ers, and
one for every fractional part thereof
over fifty. Which pro rata of repre
sentation would make a convention
composed of thirty delegates; and
Wli. rt as. We think this plan a a fair
equal and just one, founded on prin
ciple and not on an u* just and nrbri
trary rule.
Be it therefore resolved, by the
Democratic party of Muscogee:
First, That we utterly condemn the
system of “rotation” that now pro
vails, and henceforth we will not be
bound thereby, that we regard such
system as dangerous to tlm best in
terest of the party and fraught with
mischi f to the State.
Second, That in the formation of a
convention to nominate candidates,
the Democratic voters should alone
be represented, and we think a fair
and just jilan would be for each
county to be entitled to one delegate
for every hundred Democratic voters
and the fractional part thereof over
fifty.
Third, That the attention and con
sideration of our Democratic brethren
of Marion and Chattahoochee coun
ties is respectfully called to the lore
going by the convention to assemble
mi the 13th in Columbus.
The resolutions were adopted, and
on motion the Committee of delegates
were instructed to lay them before
the Convention as the sentiment of
Muscogee county.
Col. 13. A, Thornton th*-n intro
due. and the following resolutions :
Resolved by the Democracy of Mus
cogee county, That the Republican
party of Georgia bavin*, dissolved
their .State organization, and there
being in effect but one party in this
State that we deem it inexpedient to
make any nominations for the Hom e
of Representatives, but urgently so
licit the voters of this county to select
the best in in for tho positions, un
based by any party dictation.
The resolution was adopted unan
imously.
Col. Biandford then moved that
the present Executive Committee
of the Democratic party of Musco
gee county do continue until fur
ther ordered.
Col. Thornton amended by mov
ing that the Chairman of that Com
mittee appoint, .at his leisure, two
more members from each Town
District to serve upon the Execu
tive Committee.
The motion as amended was car
ried.
On motion, the meeting there
