THE JEALOUS WIFE.
' the fatal dance.
A Terrible Tragedy that Grew Out o f the Ball
Room — A Wife. Crazed hy Seeing her llus
band in the Embrace of her Rival, Commits
Murder—The Full Story of the Pickens
County Health-Develoj>ers.
Our readers will remember that in the Con
stitution of Sunday. there was a short notice
of the capture of Kate Southern. This no
tice revives in the minds of those familiar
with the circumstances, a story that has few
paralells. The tragedy around which it re
volve 0 , was committed in the heart of Pick
ens county, beyond lite reach of newspapers,
and what wc know of it. is received through
mere heresnv. The fidlowing is the account
most generally accre lite 1:
A YOUNG AND JEALOUS WIFE.
In Pickens county, about sixteen months
n<ro, Mr. Robert Southern was married to
Kate Ilambriek. Southern is represented as
a young fellow of rather wild habits, hut cfov
er enough at the bottom, handsome, popular
and brave. Miss ilambriek was one of the
prettiest girls in the up-country. She weigh
ed about 135 pounds, had a fine supple fig
ure. blue eyes, auburn hair and handsome
feat urcs.
The marriage was for a time, a happy one.
In a month or so, however, Mrs. Southern be
gan to grow jealous and restless. There was
a Miss Nareissa Cowart, a young lady of
highly respectable family, (as indeed were all
the parties toward whom her suspicions were
directed.) It is said that young Southern had
l*een quite attentive to this lady before his
marriage to Miss Ilambriek. and the latter
always looked upon her with a wife’s jealous
fear and disfavor. Nothing occurred, how
ever, to make an outbreak, until on the
FATAL NIGHT OF TIIE KILLING.
On this nig'U, there was a country ball,
held at the residence of Mr. Ilambriek. Kate's
father. Miss Cowart was invited, and was
present. It is said that when the hall open
ed. Mrs. Southern went to her husband and
asked that he would not dance with or speak
to Miss Cowart during the evening. He ap
peared to agree to this, and everything went
on smoothly until late at night.
At, about 12 o’clock, young Southern np
peareddn a cotillion, with Miss Cowart as his
partner. This seems to have enraged his
vrfc who at once walked up and said that he
had promised to dance that set with her. or
that she wanted to dance it with him. He
made some resistance, and it is said that Miss
Cowart protested that she had a right to dance
with .Southern, as she had known him for a
longtime. We learn that it is denied that
she made this statement. In any event, Mrs.
Southern was turned awav. and her husband
remained to dance with Miss Cowart.
DETERMINED TO HAVE REVENGE.
She watched the dance for a while, and then
loft the room. She went to her father, who
was outside of the house, and asked him for
hisknifc. lie asked her what she wanted it.
for. She replied she wanted to cut a tooth
brush. Her father reminded her that it was
too late to do that. She reiterated her re
quest. Her father then gave her his knife.
She took it and returned fr> the dancing room.
She found that the dance in which her hus
band hai been engaged, was ended, but that
M iss Cowart was just then in the act of danc
ing across the floor.
WITHOUT A WORD SIIE RUSHED UPON IIF.R.
and seized her by the right shoulder. She
then said, ‘’You have danced enough!”
With this she dreiv the kivfe from the folds
of her dress and plunged it into Miss Cowart’s
neck, cutting a frightful gash down towards the
reg on fthc heart. Her victim was very
mu h heated and very plump. The blood
■spurted from her neck to the wall, a distance
of fully five feet. ,She staggered under the
blow and fell. As she was falling. Mrs. South
ern dealt tier another blow, this time, cutting
her in the left breast. As she fell she slash
ed at her again, this time cutting through her
belt, her clothes, and making a terrible
wound in her stomach. Of course the vie-,
tim was dead by this time. Wc believe she
did not speak after she was attacked.
OF COURSE CONSTERNATION
seized the crowd, and no one seemed able to
comprehend what had happened. One of the
men present rushed forward and said. Where
is the in an that struck that woman ?
At this Mrs. Southron arose and shouted.
I am the man that did it!
The crowd then gatherd about the doors
and declared that no one should leave the
house. Boh Southern at once took his wife
l>y the arm. and whatever his carelessness to
wards her might have been formerly, he now
showed his devotion to her. He strode to the
front and said:
“Gentlemen. I'm going to leave this house,
and take my wife with me—and we are go
ing through, if we have to sh<*)t through.”
With this lie drew his pistol, and started
toward the door. The crowd, still dazed and
bewildered, gave away before the man and
wife, and they were lost in the darkness. A
leHy pursuit was organized, but it was una
vailing, Southern and his wife were gone,
iui4 could <+ot be trace 1. Miss Cowart's fam
ily offered a reward of $250 for the capture
of the fugitives. The Governor supplement
ed this with a reward for $l5O. Despite this*
however, a full year passed and nothing was
beard of the runaways.
THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS CAPTURE.
A short time ago. ohl man Southern and
his two sons left their home and went to
North Carolina. A few days afterwards. Mr.
W. W. Findley, ex-sheriff of Pickens county,
received some news of the fugitives.
He heard ttiat the Southerns after leaving
Georgia. had gone to Franklin. N. C.. an-1
had there settle*! on a farm, and that ti e old
man and tlie Iwiys had followed them. Meat
once secured two gftod and trusty associates.-
and started to find them. They
RODE RAPIDLY THROUGH THE COUNTRY,
and soon reached llayesville. They there
received evidence that convinced them they
were on the right track, and pushed ahead.
They found the farm on which the Southerns
had settled, but discovered that their birds
had flown. They had been gone only a day
or two. and had gone towards North Ala
bama. They were travelling with an ox-wag
on, and carried Mrs. Southern with them.
The pursuers the* rode day and night un
til they came to M urpliy, N. C. They learned
there that the fugitives were only a few min
utes ahea*lof them. Feeling sure that they
would canipjns: outside the town. Find lev
waited for night before lie made his raid.—
In the mean time the Southerns had
.'LUSKD-AiDIFFICI LTY WITH THE GATE-KEEPER,
on the turnpike, and he was getting ready to
go out after them, and collect the toll t hey
had refused to pay. The two parties were
joined, and after some scouting done by l)r.
Findley, to assure himself that lie was on the
right tnrnk, they started out after the wagon.
They reached the camp at 4 o’clock f blit dis-!
covered that the Southerns had moved, and :
were proceed i tig on their journey. They follow
ed them and soon came up with the wagon ;
pasings itquietlv, they wenton ahead and then
made an ambuscade. When the wagon came
up they closed in from both sides and secur
ed the arrest of the whole part}'. The attack
was so unexpected that no resistance was
possible. The capture was complete. Two
guns and two pistols were taken, and South
ern and his wife taken in charge by Mr. Find
ley and his party.
AN AFFECTING INCIDENT
is narrated of the capture. It is said that
when Mrs. Southern was nursing her little
baby that had been l>orn to her since the
flight of herself and husband, she Imre her
capture pluckilv, as did her husband.
AN ATTEMPT AT RESCUE
was made by the Southerns as the party stop
ped to take breakfast. The old man and the
two hoys, whose devotion to their kindred
was heroic, dashed in the room and demand
ed the release of the prisoners. Mr. Findley
and his party met them instantly with supe
rior force, and they were disarmed witliout
the firing of a shot. After this the prisoners
were brought home without any further
trouble.
A WHOLE FAMILY IN JAIL.
Bob and Kate Southern are now in jail in
Pickens county. At their request the baby
was incarcerated with them—the father, moth
er and child being in the cell together. They
arc represented as being comparatively hap
py and thoroughly devoted to each other.—
I Mr. Findley saws he never saw a more perfect
! devotion- in his life than exists between South
ern and his wife. Their only request is that
they may never be separated.
It is hard to say what will become of Mrs.
Southern. It is the general opinion that she
will be hung. Wc have our doubts upon this
| subject. Those who remember the tremen
j dons pressure brought against the hanging
of Miss Eberhart. will not believe it to be
easy for another woman to be hung in Geor
gia. She will in all probability he sent to
the penitentiary—she will hardly be hung.
The Judge has refused to grant nnv sort of
bail to the prisoners. The old man Southern
accompanied his son back to Georgia, and the
hoys are on the way with the wagon. The
prosecution will be very vigorous and posi
i tive. —Atlanta Constitution.
About the Fly.
When she answered the door-bell, yester
day, she found a stranger on the stoop. He
had a bundle in his hand, a smile on his face,
and he said :
“Madam, can I sell yon some fly paper?”
“ Does the paper fly ?” she asked.
“No. ma’am, but it makes the flies flv.”
“What, do I want the flies to fly for?” she
asked.
“Every fly, madam—” he was explaining,
when she called out:
“ I want you to fly ! I can get along better
with flies than with agents.”
“But I arn not on the fly,” lie softly pro
tested.
“Onr dog is.” she grimly replied ; and so
he was. lie flew around the corner, the agent
flew to the gate, the roll of fly-paper flew over
the curb, and a newsboy climbed a tree-box
to be out of the muss, and he shouted.
“She flew, thou fliest. he fled, and I believe
the dog got a piece of meat with that coat
tail.”

“Dah now.” said the old woman, as she
took the letter and slowly rolled it up in a
piece of brown paper, “I tol’ him to stay to

And the old woman flounced out of the
room with an expression on her countenance
which indicated that she regarded herself in
the light of a victorious prophetess.— Chatta

He Was Around.
“You wasn’t around when they dealt out
hair, was you ?” said a red-haired to a bald
headed man in a railroad car. “Yes, I was
there,” said the man with a skating rink on
the top of his head ; I was there, but they
oifered me a handful of red, and I told them
to throw it into the coal scuttle to kindle the

more was excited to a considerable extent
over the. arrival on a vessel, the Potomac, of
a boy from Demerara, supposed to be the
missing Charlie Ross. Me was a bright little
fellow of alKHit seven years old, very dark
complexioned. but it was finally concluded it
was not him. and he was put in a home. A
lady writing to Mr. F. K. Womrath. of this
city, says that the hoy has been undergoing
the bleaching process, and is gradually as
suming a natural color and developing fea
tures that more closely than ever resemble
Charlie, and a picture has been taken which
Mrs. Ross thinks she can recognize as bear
ing a striking resemblance to her sou. Add.
ed to this, he sings a song she taught iter son
years ago. and says he at one time lived on
a hill in the country, and was taken out rid
ing by a man with a “ Congo nose.”—Phila

On a railway line, recently, a passenger
stopped the conductor and asked, “Why
does not the train run faster?”
“It goes fast enough to suit us. If you
don’t like the rate of speed get off and walk,”
was the rejoinder,”
“ I would.” replied the passenger, setting
back in the seat, “but my friends wouldn’t
come for me until the train eotnes in, and I
don’t want to be waiting around the station
two or three hours.”

MOLDED.
BY REV. E. A. RAND.
A lump of clay, a form in metal or in
wood, and there is something molded. A
roaring furnace, a stream of molten iron, a
pattern in the sand, and again there is some
thing molded. And now a soul, the tender
soul of a child set in Sunday-school or church
or Christian home, as in a mould, and how
wonderful that which results? For of all
casts, impressions, copies, there is nothing
so marvellous as a soul enclosed by the
various spheres of Christian influence and
patterned after these molds.
There is no material so acceptable, neither
molten iron nor softened clay, nothing so
impressible, as the soul of that child before
you, teacher, parent. In the foundry, a flaw
in the mold will lie repeated as a flaw in the
casting. No one may see the defect in the
mold, but there it is in open sight upon the
face of the casting, marring the beautiful
work in the bronze or iron. A fault in us
will be communicated to the child we educate.
We dent wherever we arc dented. In the
physical relations of the home it is most
visibly and fearfully true at times.
Through drunkenness, what a bad mold for
the child will the parent become, posterity
carrying marks that nothing but time will
erase! The workman in the foundry will
file and rub away the excrescence left by a
defect in the mold. No filing or rubbing
will take away the transmitted defects of our
humanity. Generations must sometimes
come and go ere the work of sin is undone.—
This fact is only a shadow thrown down by a
more terrible reality in our spiritual relations.
Evil may be communicated. It may stamp
itself upon, dent itself into, and mold fatal
!)', the soiils about it.
But the law that works to our rebuke works
to our encouragement. For beauty as well
as blemish is repeated, grace of shape as well
as ugliness, merits as well as faults, in these
souls so plastic and sensitive. How partic
ular we should be to make all the surround
ings right. Society is a mold.- Home is a
mold. The Sunday-school is a mold. How
desirable it is to make all these agencies of
the greatest efficiency for good. Oh, soul
molders, teachers, pastors, parents, how
great your work, how glorious, how sure !
The Holy Ghost is with us so often the ma
terials on which we work, and give the work
men skill in determining and applying the
mold ! Consider the joy set before us in this
molding and making of men and women !
President Allen, of Girard College, was a
pupil of the late Professor Upham, of Bow.
doin College, and it has been said that Pro
fessor Upham was in some measure the mak
ing of President Allen. At the Professor’s
funeral, President Allen and Dr. Deems., 'of
New York, were both present. Someone
asked Dr. Deems if he knew President Allen.
“He made me!” was the quick answer. The
man that made him, however, was molded
by another. So the work goes on, and what
joy to stand where these soul-shaping process
es can he seen, and know that, onr hands have
been laid on the plastic materials moving hy
us, detaining them awhile and giving them
shape ere they pass on to mold the lives of
others!
And what joy as we go home to be met at
the City Gates by a warm, sunny welcome
from one we have molded for heaven ! What
ecstacy to hear their confession: “Yours
was the eye that saw me in my need !
Yours was the voice that called me out of
my neglect.! Yours was the hand that drew
me to my Saviour, and there at the cross,
shaped, molded, made me !”
Won’t it pay for a little work now?—Con

“A Chew of Gum.”
A pious old woman, brought up in the
Calvanistic faith of the Presbyterian Church,
was asked what she thought of an Armenian
sermon, preached by a Methodist, She
shook her head vigorously. “I don’t believe
a word on’t,” said she; “at all events, I
know the Lord chose me afore ever he saw
me : for he never would arterward.”
This reminds me of what old Brother
an old sister, who was rejoicing, “Never
mind sister. ym| will be pretty when you get.
to Heaven.” She was mortal ugly. So tradi
tion sayeth.
A Quaker, having married for his wife a
member of the Church of England, was asked
after the ceremony bv the clergyman for his
fee, which he said was a crown. The Qua
ker. astonished at the demand, said if he
could be shown any text in Scripture which
proved the fee was a crown, he would give it.
Upon which the clergyman directly turned to
the 12th chapter of Proverbs, verse 4. where
it is said. “A virtuous woman is a crown to
her husband.” “Thou art right.” replied the
Quaker, “in thy assertion ; Solomon was a
wise man. Here is thy money, which thou
hast well and truly earned.”
The last is given for the benefit of minis
ters, when the bridegroom asks. “What do
vou charge? The writer has had opportuni
ty to use it frequently in his life, but has
only recently been in possession of the
above incident. I officiated at a marriage,
“once upon a time,” and was not the first
choice, indeed I am inclined to believe that
I was no choice at all, hut simply the “last
chance.” as the parson engaged did not come.
I was then summoned. Next morning just
as I was leaving the happy bridegroom gave
me something wrapped in tissue paper, which
iroved to be a cheic of gum. — R. in Georgia
Methodist.
The Mark of a Christian.
It is always a mark of a Christian that he
will wish to do good to others. Having tast
ed and seen that God is good, men cannot
but commend the preciousness of the gospel
to those who are without its blessings. And
the more fully men are under the power of
the gospel, the more earnestly will they strive
to carry its benefits and joys to those upon
whom they will set their affections. Grace
in the soul, hoarded and restrained, is an
inconceivable anomaly.
Ben Hill Defiant.
Hon. B. 11. Hill, in his letter to the Atlan
ta silver “ lunatics.” the men to whom he
mainly owes his election to the United States
Senate, justifies his opjiosition to the silver
hill and defiantly tells his Georgia constitu
ents that ** No amount of clamor, abuse or
slander, foreign or domestic, from either
thoughtless or designing people, can drive roe
one inch from the discharge of what I know
to he my duty.” “Our Beu” did not talk in
that tone to the members of the Georgia
Legislature when for two mortal hours he
sued and plead to them for their votes to
make him Senator. The pride and ambition
of his soul then was to truly and faithfully
represent the people of Georgia in the nation
ial councils as no other man in Georgia but
j himself could represent them. lie did not
believe then that four-fifths of the people of
I Georgia we r c either knaves, fool 9or lunatics.
But Mr. !1i 11 has a five years’ lease of office
now. He has reached the goal of his ambi
tion. Georgia has nothing more to give
him, aud he can afford to kick down the lad
der by which he climbed to his present emi
nence. — Sacan nah AV•*.
Fight Between* a Snake ani> a Hen
Hawk.—On Tuesday, the 22d ultimo, the
weather was mild and bright, and the sun
appeared to hav * withdrawn from a summer
day and planted itself in the midst of, Janua
ry. This being the case, a tremendous snake, j
known as the “cow sucker,” came from hi §
hiding place on the farm of Mr. Edward j
Woodall, near the Royal Oak, and no doubt j
was basking in the sunshine, when a huge !
hen hawk espied him, an 1 thinking it a rare I
chance fora hearty meal, he would demolish
Mr. Snake at a single swoop. But Mr. Snake !
was not to be trifled with tlmsly. The lmwk
went for its prey when the snake embraced
him with a death like grip. The hawk nap
ped and squeaked, hut the snake held him
fast until a inrn in Mr. Woodaifs employ
was attracted by the noise. The hawk was
held fast until killed, and of course the snake
afterwards shared a like fate, as it appears
to be the duty of every one to kill a snake
when in reach. — Easton (Md.) Gazette.
