Hlaton Daily Enterprise. Stevenson & Smith, Proprietors, A PBEACHEB TBAPPED! beautiful young lady beguiled and ruined by her brother-in-law the maiden arrested and bound over—two of the BEST FAMILIES IN BAR TOW PLUNGED IN GRIEF. About fifteen miles from Cartersville, ia Bartow county, laves Esquire Vincent, a man recognized by all as an honest, up right, virtuous niaa, and a good citizen, himself and family honored and respected by all who knew them. Near him lived the Rev. Fletcher Weeme, (his son in-law) a Methodist preacher, and one who had heretofore stood high in the estimation of rail who knew him. He was beloved and revered by all for his eminent piety. This reverend seducer was the brother-in-law of DULLY VINCENT, the victim of this true and tragic story. He was also the husband of an elegant and accomplished wife, who had blessed him with several children. His wife was devotedly attached to her husband, and ostensibly the attachment was tenderly re ciprocated. Soon after their marriage i Dully Vincent, the poor victim, became a frequent visitor at the house, and as is inatural, her girlish heart yearned toward Ihira whom she regarded as a brothsr. He (encouraged this fondness, at the same uimS plying his damning art, until at last it was whispered abroad that they were tow intimate. This was about EIGHT TEARS AGO, when she was a maiden of fifteen sum mers, beautiful and fair, with all the witchery and grace of happy, careless childhood. In consoquenee of the social and moral position of the families the .matter was hushed up, and ceased to be a public secret. The-parties attracted no kfurther attention until about THREE TEARS AGO, vtfnua Dully Vincent, then just blooming iinto womanhood, went on a visit to iDooly <county, to see some of her friends. During £ier stay there, it is new rrmem toered, (though then unnoticed) that Weems paid frequent visits to that portion of the State. This, however, attracted no atten tion, and time rolled on until last summer, wheu this Reverend man projected, and conducted a protracted meeting or revi val at Sunshine, a neighboring church.— During the progress of the revival it was observed that Weems was decidedly par tial to night services, and that he was also, very assidnous in his attentioais to his sis ter-in-law, carrying her with him every .night, to the NIGHT MEETING. This, as before, excited some little sus tiitiion, but the public could not entertain a tlwoght of wrong in this reverend min ister. Still the secret was treasured by :some, mud a close watch kept upon their motion. Circumstances occurred after this of a mature to arouse the suspicions of the entire (community, and rumors were rife through the country in regard to the CKIMINAL INTIMACY of the parties. At last the time for action had arrived, and the good citizens deter mined to investigate the matter, aud ex pose the villainy of their minister, if he ■was guilty. Mr. W. H. King, one of the most promi nifiat citizens of the county, called upon sev 'n£ other gentlemen, who, after a brief con sultation, concluded that this disgrace, this rfouUfolot upon the morals of their section, should be wiped out, and the guilty 'brought to justice, in order to protest socie ty from its baneful influences. WEEMS FORBID THE HOUSE. For some time previous to this, Mr. Vincent had forbid Weems from visiting bis house, but the guilty parties had con trived to meet in the woods, and the in timacy continued. At last Mr. King, his son, Mr. Stanford, and others, ascertaining the locality of their resort, decided upon watching them, and proceeded to place > ihemselves in a concealed position near A BED OF LEAVES 'tmd had excited the interest of the curious for aome time past. The parties had been in this concealment but a short time when Weems and his victim were seen in the distance approaching the spot. Soon they arrived, and the evidence of sight then and there confirmed the reports that had so leng beea circulated. THE MEYEBBND SEDUCER FLEES. Mr. K. and party approached the pair, -whereupon the guilty wretch Weems ran off, leaving the sad victim of his debauch ery to proclaim her shame. The parties left the spot and proceeded to an officer of the law and after relating the facts, warrants were made out and on the same day (Thursday last), the officers proceeded to bunt up the parties. It was discovered that Weems had fled to parts unknown, and could not be found. On the next day (Wednesday), the officer •visited the house of Mr. Vincent with a •warrant for THE ABBEBT OF DOLLY VIHCKHT. Her father stated that she was sick, and asked that the Justice ef the Peace would come to his house the next day, as he wished to avoid public exposure as much as possible. The request was granted, but upon the officer’s arrival the- next day, it was found that the girl was missing.— Without her father's knowledge she had left the house and gone—no one knew where. Upon making an extensive search, how ever, she was found by Mr. King about a mile from home, where she wandered in her distress. SHE GIVES BOND. She was then taken home, and gave bond in the sum of S3OO, for her appear ance at the next term of the Superior Court. Weema, who is the cause of this great sorrow that has fallen upon an iuuocent and unsuspecting family, is a man of tine appearance, and is about thirty-six years of age. His whereabouts i9 not known, and he may possibly elude the vigilance of the law, but should he be found and brought to the neighborhood, we would not give much for his chance of comfort. This ends the story of facts. As we do not set in solemn judgment, we will not pass sentence on the conduct of these par ties ; but doubly cursed be they who rant so noisily of virtue, and prate so lustily of Christian love and charity—who hide be neath a mantle of Christianity—an excuse for debauchery and crime, with which to beguile confiding innocence ! Let them tremble! For theyimye not yet been tried. —Atlanta Herald. BLOOD. CURIOUS ATTEMPT TO END LIKE - WHAT AliK WE COMING TO? In <>ur dispatches a day or so since, was a brief paragraph concerning the attempted suicide of a man and woman by bleeding to death. From the New York World oi the 2<ith, we get Umj following particulars of the affair: About the Ist of February last Julius Ende and his wife Julia, both natives of Germany, removed from the City of New York to the village of Jamaica, Long Island, and took up their abode in a small tenement in York street. Ende succeeded in obtaining employment in the office of a German religious weekly newspaper, edited by Maximillian Ortel, as a composi tor. In this office he worked for four weeks, but was so ill-treated by the other employes that he finally was forced to leave it. This happened about three weeks ago. Since that time he has had no em ployment whatever, and for the greater portion of the intervening time his family have been without fuel or food. Finding no avenue of escape from his miserable con dition excepting through the poorhouse, lie and his wife, after deliberating upon the matter, determined to commit suicide rather than become a burden upon the county, and thus end their earthly troubles. Accordingly on Monday evening they both carefully washed themselves, and after putting on a clean change of linen aad setting the house in order, they pro ceeded with the utmost deliberation to carry out their determination. Lude took his razor, and, after sharpening it upon a hone until it cut a hair, cut a terrible gash in his left arm, severing the main artery. He then cut a gash in his left leg near the aßkle, which also severed an artery. lie then, it appears, handed the razor to bis wife, who also gashed her arm, severing an artery, and her left leg, near the ankle. Both then got into bed, believing that they would soon bleed to death. Fortu nately, one of the occupants of the house, who knew of their needy circumstances, at this opportune time happened to go to their apartments with some food, and was horrified upon opening the door to dis cover them lying in bed and the covering saturated with blood. Au alarm was at once given, and in a few moments J)r. William U. Wood was in attendance, and succeeded in stopping the flow of blood and sewing up the wounds, not, however, until so much blood had been lost as to leave their recovery a matter of much doubt. Yesterday they were somewhat improved, and with careful nursing and watching may possibly recover. Ende is a man about forty-five years of age, of more than average intel ligence, and has been in this country about twenty-five years. At one time he owned and edited a paper in Washington, and at one time was employed in the Govern ment printing office in that city. At the breaking out of the war of the rebellion lie enlisted as a private in the Twenty eight New York State Militia, and served three months—the full time for which the .regiment was accepted by the Govern- Jne-aL He afterwards obtained a commis sion ws second lieutenant in the Fifty eiehth New York Volunteers, with which regiment served until the close of the war The tk> rtunate couple have been married J earß ’ ttnd have f 0110 " 011 eight children , 0 ttie S r * ve - March of the / 'webial dbbian Ex pedition of Ikvasi '‘N.pThe St. I e era burg Exchange Gazette' earn f B ° re "- burl that the first eche, battalion of Turkestan RiU ** * . r ? f , . . the isOth of march across the steppes . . . , January, in the direction of O Orenburg battalions following . ’ after.
