Her features were n<mlar with an eve that denoted quick ereeption: her complexion showed a very light tan, while her hands were fair, indi ting that she wore gloves in riding about er country domain. As she stood, her figure was as straight as narrow and was set off to advantage by f faultless dress of dark blue, trimmed uth two panels of the same material, oma nented with small WHITE BARS. With a slight movement of the head for rard Mrs Shackelford advanced as the re lortcr arose, and after offering an apology or a few moments’ delay in arranging her oilet introduced herself After excusing himself lor the intrusion, he reporter in a very few words informed ler of the ohject of his visit. With a smile bordering upon the satirical, h she gracefully reclined her figure slightly orward to occupy an armchair, sho said: 'Oil no, I cannot-do that; I was never in erviewed in iuv life mid have no desire for lotoriety.

The reporter, realizing that he had to deal rith a woman as extraordinary as she was etiring and adverse to publicity, saw at a lance that circumspection would have to le used in drawing from her the history of he day on which she made such a narrow scape” after making a terrific struggle , for ier life. After an hour's cautious and idi oit convei-sation a considerable portion if the history of this lady’s remarkable life cas obtained, and, as the”sequel will prove, t shows her to be a woman of wonderful iluck. endurance and determination.

At the tjme oflttk’ marriage her income IONS IN ALABAMA ms from 50,000 a year. After t py wedlock a trip to and the couple vis fed the city of the Golden Gate. It was while in this city that misfortune for the first time touched at her door. Her queenly fortune was swept away as if in a single night. Unlike many women, instead of giving up to despair she fell back upon the treas ure her family had endowed her with, her education, and as correspondent for a num ber of New York journals she supported her husband and herself. She npt only kept the wolf from the dooc, but was atile to save enough in course of time to return to Pleasant Hill, Ala., twenty-eight miles from Selma, the home of her father. On reaching there she was called upon to face another emergency. Years and past trou bles had so silvered the locks of her father that he hail been unable to run the place as he had in by-gone days, and a debt of I'l.sOO, bearing a heavy interest, was in creasing so rapidly that it was only a Question of time for the mortgage to swal low up the old homestead. A ith a determination and will power sel dom found in one so young, Mrs. Shackel ford bid farewell to journalism and became ter father’s manager. She took charge of t..e books of the store, straightened them out, and torcedjall the delinquent plantation tads to settle up, aud thereafter kept the woks herself. She then became overseer of i P'aoe, aud directed the running of the plantation. To accomplish this task she found it Sfi'cssary to he in the saddle from 4 in the •uormng until candlelight at night, and tills , her life since she was seventeen swin; Of age. jA* hhe end of five years her husband M, leaving licr a widow with one child, J a bright little fellow of four years.

" omioi*, tbui Uu* chitl **y # negro giil wh.su M t J child t nurse. The baby lay at death’s door for awhile, but finally recovered. And now comes the most thrilling event in this lady’s history: On the evening of Jan. tin. last a gentleman called at Mrs. Shackelford's house aud spent the evening. As he was about taking his de parture he stated he was going to Selma next morning and asked her if she would not exchange pistols, os his was a large SMITH AND WESSON and would bother him in town. The ex change was made, and as he was mounting to ride away Mrs. Shackelford said: “is the pistol all righti" “It is all O. K.” he replied. Next morning, which was Jan. 96, at daybreak, her favorite mare Katie was saddled and brought to the door. Mi’s. Shackelford put the pistol she had received the night before in her holster, as it was her custom always to go into the field armed— made Katie get down on her front knee, a clever trick she had trained her to do, so that she would not have to call on any one to assist her in mounting or dismounting— mounted and rode into the field to measure and superintend some ditching that she was having done. On several occasions, while Mrs. Shackel ford was absent, on her return home she dis covered that, notwithstanding, she had secured the house on leaving, a thief or thieves hail effected an entrance and small sums of money that she had concealed were stolen. There were other valuables in the room, such as jewelry, etc., but nothing was ever touched but tlie money. On this particular day while Mrs. Shack elford WAS IN THE FIELD, she discovered tliat she had left her note book and pencil at the house. [ln telling this part of the story she remarked: “I al ways take notes, as 1 keep a regular set of books for the plantation, and last year when I took off my trial balance I was only 15c. out of the way.”] She mounted her horse and rode back to her home. As she was about to enter the place she noticed a window open. This l oused her suspicion, and she made her way to her room and concealed herself behind one of the doors to watch what was going on. With a cautious step one of the negro hands named Steve Collens, a man weighing fully 170 pounds, entered and began search ing the different pieces of,furniture in the room. She steppeo out from her place of con cealment and, covering him with the re volver, said: “You are the man who has been systematically robbing the house, so throw up your hands and surrender.” He did not heed the warning and began to move toward her. Mrs. Shackelford, knowing the character of the negro, and feeling that should he ever get her in his power he would kill her, pulled the trigger of the pistol, but tho cartridge failed to ex plode. and tho negro moved another step forward. It being a self-action pistol she continued to PULL THE TRIGGER, but with the same result. By this time she had snapped the worth less gun over seven times, and then realized that there were no cartridges in it, and the negro, recognizing the same fact, drew a razor from his belt and seized his victim. It was a fight to the death, and with every advantage on the side of the negro. In trying to grab the right wrist of the negro she caught the blade of the razor, which laid open the palm of her right hand. The struggle continued, and she received cuts on both hands and arms, and in stri k ing a bone of the right arm, a piece of the blade of the razor remained sticking in the bone. In an attempt to cut her throat, the negro inflicted a wound several inches in length on her left shoulder, which extended down ward into the chest. While the struggle was going on Mrs. Shackelford discovered a pistol ot her own on the mantelpiece, but could not get to it, and stood in fear of the negro also seeing it. While the fight was going on her little child entered and the negro seized it and almost choked it to death. But he did not, and after inflicting tho wounds on her body fled through the window, leaving her for dead. From the excitement of the battle she did not realize how painfully she had been wounded, and seizing the pistol she had been watching she fired one shot at the fleeing negro, but without effect. She thou rushed out, mounted her horse and gave chase; being close on the negro, her fourth shot brought him to the earth. Leaping down by his side, and not know ing the extent of "his wound and fearing that he might recover sufficiently to attack her again, she struck him a blow on the tem ple with the butt of the pistol and knocked him senseless. She then watched him until assistance came to her and him. When it arrived the negro was conveyed to jail and Mrs. Shackelford to her room, where she remained for weeks before her wounds, which wore twenty-seven in num ber, healed. The trial of this negro for the cutting of Mrs. Shackelford is fixed for this week, and as the negro wrote two letters to her notify ing her that if she did not withdraw the charge he would have her murdered, her friends advised her, under the circumstances, to make a statement before a J ustiee of the Peace and then leave the county until the trial was over, which she did and came to New Orleans. DRAW POKER AT CHAUTAUQUA. The Game Introduced by Two Lively Sckoolma’ams from Ohio. From the Aeta York Sun, Jamestown, April 13. — Mixed up with the furniture carried out during the re cent Are at Chautauqua was a faro layout, seven packs of cards, and three dice boxes. These iniquitous auxiliuriesof a worldly life found their way within the sacred precincts of Chautauqua in tho trunks of two very interesting women who arrived lust season with a party of Ohio schoolma’ams who were attending the teachers’ retreat. They engaged the second floor of a modest cottage on Simpson avenue, attended the teachers’ meetings, sipped waters from the sacred springs, chewed gum along the sandy shores of Galilee, and came to be looked upon as bright lights in the Chautauqua idea. Tho teachers departed, but the Simpson avenue cottage held its tenants. Soon it became noticed that this was a favorite resort for gentlemen, but as the girls continued to sing the hymns ut morning services and clawed around among the mummies and antique vases of the museum for poetic iu spi ration, and as the young men who visited there had the regulat ion degree of solemnity and white neckties, the matter was allowed to pass. Time passed, and George White came to Chautauqua: He registered from Cincin nati. George was handsome, had money and a fondness for girls. He met the fair sciioohna’ams, and was entertained by them at their rooms. Soon afterward the super iutendent of the grounds learned from George that he was $5OO short on a quiet little game of draw, and that evening as tile last Ixuit drew up at the wharf you might have seen two frisky schoolma'ams hustled on board by the su|x*rintendont, fol lowed a moment later by two large trunks, and that was the last heard of them until the fire developed the goods and the story leaked out.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20, 1887. A MILE IN FIFTY SECONDS. Engineer Gloss Gives an Iron Horse a Looueßein on the Now Haven Road. Front (Ac New- Fork Evening .Sri.. Engineer Close, of the New Haven road stood in his cab on Wednesday waiting the word for starting. He takes the fast limited out at 4:80 p. in. for Boston. He leaned out of the cab window long enough to say that the report of the fast run made between Meriden and Hartford on Monday night was true. The engine was No. 148, anew and very powerful locomotive. There is a down grade aud a straight track for some ten mUes just north of Meriden. When this section was reacted on Monday night the engineer let 133 do her best. The night was clear, the track in good shape, the frost out of the ground. In a few moments passengers realized that the speed was something extraordinary. In tlie smoking car the whist players put their cards aside and glanced out' of the win dows, and the moonlight was just bright enough to reveal the trees, but simply as a mass of timber that was being whirled by the cars as though in a most terrible tornado. In five minutes the momentum was some what checked, and there was some relic; among the passengers. They knew th. had been traveling pretty rapidly, but th y did not know how fast. In the nvemiuutes lacking a few seconds the engine had made seven miles, or a rate of as near eighty miles an hour as there is any fun in getting. This rate has been equaled' on the Pennsylvania and New York Central, and possibly ex celled a little, but it is probably the fastest short distance run made in New England. It is a rate which, if maintained, would bring New York aud Boston within three hours time. MEDICAL.
