8 MRS. THOMPSON IS ALIVE THE IDENTITY OF THE MURDERED WOMAN AGAIN A MYSTERY. The Investigation Seemed to Prove that Mrs. Thompson Was the Victim, But it is Learned at Last that She is Alive in Doboy. Those who are working to solve the mys tery of Beaulieu were confident yesterday that the body had been positively identifi t! as that of Mrs. Agnes Thompson, the wife of Capt. Harry Thompson, for the stato ments that were made formed such a connected story that there was no room for further doubt. The family and friends of Mrs. Thompson were looked up and all the facta connected with her life were obtained, and many statements concerning her unhappy life with her husband came to light. Her ac quaintances could trace her to five weeks *ago, but since then nothing had been heard of her. and the only conclusion to be reached was that she was the woman so cruelly murdered. mr. robidere’s clew. Early yesterday morning Mr. Alfred Robidere called at the Morning News office and said that while a number of negroes were at dinner the other day at Beaulieu he heard them speak of the threats made by Capt. Thompson against his wife. He at one time, they said, threatened to kill her and at other times abused her. Mr. Love, the railroad agent at Mont- ? ornery, was in the city yesterday, and to a [orninij News representative he made the following statement: About Aug 1 the oys ter boat Ida C. came in and anchored off the wharf at Montgomery. Capt. Thomp son and his wife came ashore, and ns the Captain was going up to the city Mrs. Thompson remained with Mrs. Love. Thompson is a Norwegian, and was well known to Mr. Love. ACCUSED OF BIGAMY. While the captain was absent in the city, a Mr. Sooth, as Mr. Love states, told Mrs. Thompson that the captain had another wife over the ocean. This, of course, shocked Mrs. Thompson, and when the cap tain returned she absolutely refused to go with him into the vessel again. Thompson coaxed and plead for a long while, but in vain, and finally went to Mr. Love and asked him to order her out of the house. This Mr. Love refused to do. He then saw Mrs. Thompson and asked iter what was the trouble. She said she was afraid to go with Thompson, and repeatedly said he had threatened to kill her. After a deal of talk she consented to go, as she said, to Mrs. Love, to get her things at their home on Harris Neck, and then she in tended to leave him. She said she was tak ing her life in her hands when she left Mr. Love’s, and seemed very despondent. She promised to write to Mrs. Jxive at an early day, so as to inform her that she arrived safely at her home. THE LAST TIME SHE WAS SEEN. That night as soon as the Captain and Mrs. Thompson went on hoard the anchor was weighed and the boat “was moved up opposite Beaulieu and anchored. Mr. Love said that a man named Gleason, who was employed on the boat, said afterward, that the two quarreled all night. The Captain hid her shoes and cut up her slippers so she could not leave the boat. She attempted to leave in the bateau, so Gleason is re ported to have said, but her husband stopp'd her. About 10 o'clock the next day the boat was moved further up, about a mile, and was again anchored. On the 3 o’clock afternoon train a sea captain came out and was taken on board, and then they sail'd away. Since then the Captain lias not been in that sec tion, nor has Mrs. Love ever received a word from Mrs. Thompson. When the body was found the description tallied so well with Mrs. Thompson’s appear ance that both Mr. and Mrs. Love thought she was the victim. AT WORK AS A SERVANT. It was learned that during the early part of the year, Mrs. Thompson had worked as a house servant for Mrs. Webb, the wife of Rev. R. Webb, on South Broad street near Whittaker. Mrs. Webb was seen and she stated that about the middle of February Mrs. Thompson came to her and asked for work. She said thoj she had left her husband liecause he had treated her cruelly. The last quarrel had been caused by has becoming jealous be cause she had given her picture to a young man. Mrs. Webb em ployed her and found her a model servant and an exceedingly good woman. About a week after she went to work, how ever, she was taken sick with chills and fever and had to go to the hospital where she remained for a month, but when she came out she returned to Mrs. Webb and stayed with her until the last of April. Thompson had called to see her on the day she went to the hospital, but she had gone and he could not find her. SHE IS CONVERTED. A short while before she left she began attending the meetings of the Salvation Army, and became one of the converts. She went up on the mourners’ bench one night, and when questioned she told the ex porter that she had left her husband be cause he treated her cruelly. The exhorter asked her if she would do whatever Jesus wanted her to do, and she replied that she would. The exhorter then said that Jesus wanted her to go back and live with her husband, and she said she would do so. Just as she reached the foot of the stairs that look down from the hall, where she left it, she met her husband and went to him. She told him that she had became a Christian, and that she would go back and live with him. On returning home Mrs. Thompson told Mrs. Webb of the circumstani'e. WARNED AGAINST HIM. Soon after that Mrs. Webb saw her talk ing to Thompson on the sidewalk, and as Thompson seemed to le spaking rather earnestly, Mrs. Webb called her in and told her she had better not talk to Thompson if he was angry, for ho might hurt her. She replied that he was not angry; that he wanted her to go to Mr. Blatz’s to spend the evening, as he was going to sea early next morning, and he wanted to talk to her lief ore he went. Mrs Webb advised her not to go, hut said if she wanted to she could do so. The evening was spent at Blatz's, but be fore it was over Thompson got angry and began to boat his wife, and she defended herself with a chair. The husband and wife became reconciled after that, however, and at last Mrs. Thouqison notified Mrs. Webb that she was going back home to live. She dki so, and it was a month before she was heard from again. OLD TROUBLES RENEWED. When she did return to the city she called upon M rs. Webb and told her, that she and her husband were living together very hap pily; that they read the Bible every day, and said prayers every night. She seemed in excellent spirits, and only complained because there were no white people on Harris Neck, where tliey lived. Mrs. Webb left the city soon after that, and about five weeks ago Mrs. Thonqison came back. She wont to the house and. finding that Mrs. Webb was away, she told the cook that she wanted to find out if Mrs. Webb would take her bock; she wanted to see Mrs. Webb, for she had something to tell her. Khe cried bitterly, lHit was somewhat comforted when the cook said that Rlie was sure that Mrs. Webb would give her work or find a home for her. Mrs. Thompson thou left and noth ing further was heard from her. The Blatzesslatc that Thompson would be an excellent man If it was not for a very bad temper, but he is made angry very easily, and when be Is in a passion he does But know what he is doing. MRS. THOMPSON ALIVE A visit was laid to the hums of Mr. ; Siek'es to learn something of Mrs. Thomp son, for it was understood that Mrs. Sickles and Mi's. Thompson were very intimate friends. Mr. Sickles was out, but Mi's. Sickles was seen, and the reporter said: “I have come down to learn something of Mrs. Thompson who wa . killed at Beaulieu." “She is not dead,’’ was the startling reply. “Not deadf' exclaimed the reporter. “No, sir. A lady from Doboy, Mrs. Thompson’s cousin, came to the city to night and she said that she saw Mrs. Thomp son in Doboy on Monday and Tuesday, and slept with her Monday nnd Tuesday nights. She .-ays Mrs. Thompson is in just us good health as she ever was.” Sirs. Sickles then went on to say that the j circumstance.' in the case had pointed so tli i rectly to Mrs. Thompson as the murdered woman, tlmtnil her friends auil relations had given her her up for dead until the welcome news arrived. AGAIN A MYSTKRV. This throws the ease back and it becomes again a complete mystery. There is now no clue to the identity of either the woman or the murderer. The only woman who was missing from the neighborhood has been accounted for, and there is not the slightest clue to the two per sons engaged in that horrible affair. This turn in the investigation has aroused a call for an exhumation of the body. It is generally thought that the clothing ought to bo taken from the eoffin and kept for identification, as it is the only thing, except the hair, that can possibly serve as a guide, and even if the parents of a missing woman should lie found, unless they recognized the clothing, they could in no way identify the body. It is thought, too, that the body should lie buried in a cemetery, and not left alono out in the woods. The poor woman’s end was had enough, and what can be done ought to he done to show proper respect to her remains, A COOL SUNDAY. Yesterday’s Record of the Weather— A Cool Wave Promised. The maximum temperature here yester day was 80% being 7” lower than the day previous, and the minimum was 72“'. The average was 77% which was the normal temperature for yesterday. The tempera ture in this district remained nearly station ary, Thomasville, however, reporting a maximum of 101° and a mini mum of 01°, showing a remark able range of 40° in twenty-four hours. The temperature throughout the country, while still high in some regions, has fallen, und there, are good prospects of another cool wave in a few ilavs. The thermome ters in the extreme Northwest are register ing below 40 . The highest temperature reported at 10 o’clock last night was 84° at Key West, and the lowest was 40’ at St. Vincent. The only station in this district reporting rain was Live Oak, which lih/1 .28 inches. The 10 o’clock reports last night showed the weather to be generally clear over the entire country, stations in the Jake regions being the only ones to report rains. The barometer was lowest in tlie Ohio val ley ami Tennessee, where light rains are in dicated, ami the high area was central in the extreme Northwest, which will have the effect of bringing the cool wave this way more rapidly. Indications are for slightly warmer and fair weather, followed by cooler weather Sunday. HODGES’ CREDITORS IN COUNCIL. They Hold Two kfeetings, But Cannot Agree. Another meeting of the creditors of Mr. George D. Hodge3 was held yesterday morn ing. Mr. W. R. Leukin, representing Mr. Hodges, made them an offer of 25 per cent, in cash and 25 per cent, in twelvo months. This they refused per emptorily. Then an offer was made of 35 per cent, cash for a clean receipt in full. This was likewise refused, and the creditors sent word that they ex pectod at least 50 per cent, in cash. This brought in the offer of 40 per cent, cash, but they would not accept it. Mr. Hodges said he could not. possibly pay SO |‘r cent, cash and there the matter ended. As nothing resulted the meeting was adjourned to 3:30 in the afternoon. At that meeting it was ascertained that Messrs. J. 8. Collins & Cos., who were well secured by garnishments, refused to accept the proposition made, and the creditors dis persed without coming to any satisfactory settlement. Mr. Hodges said that he was not responsible for all the debts of the Ocean House as his brother had purchased the property, but the creditors say the bar license still stands in bis name. A COOL BURGLAR. After Breaking into a House He Eats a Hearty Meal. Mr. Dave Farmer’s house, New Houston and West Broad streets, was broken into Wednesday night and a number of knives, forks and other table appurtenance* stolen, ns also considerable provisions. Many of the rooms, including the dining-room, the burglar was unable to get into, therefore he made the kitohen his headquarters. Noticing that tho cupboard was well supplied tho fellow sot tho table, and placing all the provisions on it, enjoyed a hearty meal. After pocketing all the loose cutlery he could find, as well as making a general sweep of Mrs. Farmer’s edibles, ho left. Mr. Farmer says the fellow had too good an ap petite for a prowler, hut he thinks landlord Kinchloy could give him good entertain ment.

Dispatches were received Wednesday ad vising the Charleston Exchange not to pro ceed too hastily in the matter of seeking ad ditional steamship accommodations for that port, and indicating that they should wait until Thursday before taking further action in the matter. This is believed to be an in dication of the fact that the old line will bo re-established,and that,Mr. Quiutard will bo the moving spirit. A meeting was held Thursday morning at. the office of Capt. F. W. Wagoner, of members of the committees appointed hy the Merchants' and Charleston Exchanges to consider freight, discriminations against Charleston. It was the general opinion of the committee that the Interstate Coinmis sion could only take cognizance of tho rate outside of the State, the rate hi the State being under the control of the State com mission. It was understood that the Inter state Commission could act, for instance, upon rates from Greenville to Savannah, to Wilmington or to Norfolk, but when ft came to Charleston that the rate hail to lie left to the State Commission. After some discussion of the situation th<> committee thought It best for the present thnt the agent of the two committees should confine his attention to discovering and re porting specific cases of discrimination be tween points within the State. One of those cases was given to the agent at the meeting by Capt. F. W. Wage.ner. This is the case of rates between Columbia and Norfolk, and between Winnsboroand Norfolk. Capt. Wagoner said that lie had the most trust worthy information that a higher into was charged from Winnsboro to Norfolk than from Columbia to Norfolk, which discrimi nation in favor of Columbia operated, although indirectly, largely to the disad vantage of Charleston. •Buchu-Palba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder anil urinary diseases. #l.

It was Postmarked Little Rock, But Is Thought to Have Been Written Here —The Insanity Theory Advanced— The Strange Secretiveness of His Friends. Mrs. T. B. Thompson received a letter from her missing Hhsband yesterday morning, hut it threw no light upon his mysterious con dm-t. The letter ivas postmarked Little Rock, Ark. In the letter Mr. Thompson said that he had to leave Savannah; that if he did not ►get away he would commit suicide. The firm, he said, had $4,000 to his credit, and as to his interest in the fii-m he would give that up. He wrote that by the time his wife received the letter ho would be thousands of miles away. The post mark created the belief that Mr. Thompson had gone West somewhere. His friends are ail firm in the belief that he is insane. They recount numerous actions of his that, to their minds, are conclusive. It is said that of late, when he has lieer. wor ried, ho would leave his work and walk up and down* the room with his fingers tangled in his hair. NO REASON FOR FLIGHT. This and many other similar statements are made to show that he must have lost his mind. His friends also say that there could be no reason for his leaving. His home was a happy one, his business prosper ous and his habits good. It could not he said that Mr. Thompson has robbed the firm, for if he has taken any money at all he cannot have taken an amount equal to his interest in the business. The receipt of the letter disposes, of course, of the idea of foul play, and thus his friends have turned to the insanity theory. That explanation would be readily accepted by people gen erally, for they are loath to believe that Tiney B. Thompson has done anything wrong, were it not for the secretiveness of Mr. McDonough and others connect ed with the case. Mr. McDonough will say nothing except that the accounts are in bail shape and that he knows nothing of Mr. Thompson’s whereabouts. The clerks in the office will not talk of the matter at all. The letter which was received was guarded carefully, and hut few knew its contents, and only a small portion of whnt it con tained leaked out. This policy has led to the belief that Mr. Thompson has been guilty of some great offense which his friends wish to conceal, but his friends say they are confident that he is insane, though they are not hunting for him. Mr. McDonough was se°n last night anil asked if ho had heard anything further re garding Mr. T. B. Thompson’s disappear ance. “Not a thing,” he answered; “I am as much in the dark as ever for the cause of his course.” “Did not his letter give any clew?” “1 did not receive any letter. Mrs. Thompson received one this morning from her husband hut it gave no information re garding him, his whereabouts or why he left. It seemed to have lieen written on the train and contained no reference to business affairs, so Mrs. Thompson told me. I did not see the letter.” “Then you haven’t the least clew of any sort regarding him or his idnvements?” “No, none at all. lam at a loss to understand why he left. Ido know, however, the amount of extra work the chaotic condition of affairs has made me. But the books show up (letter every day, and it is more and more mysterious to me why he left.” TRACED TO JESUP. A gentleman remarked yesterday that one result of Mr. Thompson’s slackness was that the firm wore now paying some $45 per day each, demurrage on seven vessels. Mr. Delannoy, the chief clerk in the office of McDonough & Cos. was heard to say yes terday that Mr. Thompson only took 61,000 with him, and that that amount was rightfully his, as it was to his credit on the books. The statement has been made that Thomp son left the train at Waycrow and from that point began his journey West, but that has bran proved untrue. Mr. Withers trav eled on the same train with him, and he says that Thompson went through to Jesup. There the trail is lost, however, and nothing has been heard of his movements since leaving that point and arriving at Little Rock, auil there is even some doubt about whether he went to Little Rock. Mr. McDonough says that the letter looks as if it nail been written on the train, but some of his friends believe that it was written in Savannah be fore he left and kept until he reaqjjed Little Rock, or perhaps he sent it in an envel ope to the Postmaster at that point and had it mailed from there while he went to some other place. DIBGUSTING BABE BALL. Memphis Kicks From the Time Game Was Commenced. Charleston, 8. C., Sept. 9.—The game this afternoon was a farce and did more to disgust tho public with base I tall than any exhibition made yet. Memphis began to kick at the first ball delivered and kopt it up till the end of the first inning, when they started to leave the grounds. They were invited to do so, and played tolerable ball till Charleston scored in the fourth inning, when they began to play off. This, of course, demoralized the locals, and the game was finished in a disgustingly childish man ner. The umpire was Hitnonin, a local amateur, whose decisions were a little off at times, but not enough so to warrant the ex hibition that the audience was treated to. Tne opposing batteries were Smith and Nicholas for Charleston and Smith and Crotty for Memphis.
