JEFFERSON DAVIS AND HIS WIFE
Uttcle George Green’s Story of How
Young Lieutenant Won His Bride.
From the Chicot]- Tribune.
When the Jesuit missionaries carried the
little Itoats across th . divide at Portage at
floated them again on the clear water of tl
Wisconsin river, they had for their aim ti
establishment of new missions in the vallt
of the Mississippi. Father Hennepin foun
no place on the upper Mississippi so advat
tageous for th. founding of a mission tt
where the Wisconsin river flows into tht
Mississippi, and there, with the aid of tie
friendly Wiunebagoes. he established a plac/
of worship. In 182t> Fort Crawford was os
tahlished at this point by the GovenimeiP
and Col. Zachary Taylor was placed moor
inand. The ruins of Fort Crawford a 1
situated on a rise of ground just south!
Prairie tin Cbien. There are vet a few n't
in 'Wisconsin who remember President 13 -
lor and liis garrison at the fort, ns wpias
the pompous Jeff Davis, then a young oper
in subordinate cohinmml. Uncle Ore > as
he is known here, is one of the few iff 1 of
that sort left. He said to-day:
“I am sorry that the old flagstaff lt the
fort has been cut down. That seeir*f to be
the only thing that never change, for it
stood there just the same as it used 0 when
young Jeff Davis pulled the tars and
Stripes to its very top, anil -food and
watched the flag as the wind wafiht in its
folds. But that was many ye. s a g°, and
there have been many changes Did! know
Jeff Davis t Well, I should >'vays rather
(. ’;k of hint as I knew hint *on. He was
a dashing young officer, ino'jod to he over
bearing in his ways, never signing to look
at those he thought beneat him in social
position or rank* He was a gallant
lover, and it w as no wondr that the beauti
ful daughter of Col. Taylor fell in
love with him here. S was a romantic
young creature, as 1 renimbor her, and was
the one bright and refiuig influence thrown
around the rough eaip life. o,_yes. she
worshipped young Day*. But her father,
grim old warrior that e was, could not tol
erate Jeff Davis, and <Jien he saw that his
daughter was CDntinßlly unhappy unless
in the company of th young officer, he de
termined on separathg them, and accord
ingly sent his dauyter to a convent in
Baton Rouge. His dislike of Davis grew
into a perfect hat in, and much unpleasant
ness was the result.
“In a few days aier the departure of the
daughter Davis printed him with a docu
ment which requirt his signature. It was
an order from Gen. Wayne granting a fur
lough to Davis. Tp wary old Cologel saw
through the ruse ira moment, and at first
refused to sign theirdar, but oould not well
persist in this insukrdination or he would
be guilty of contend. The order had come
from his superior oleer, and he must sign it,
and, with a black sowl on his face, he af
fixed his signature 5 the official document.
Jeff was now free Ir thirty days and he
lost no time i hastening to Baton
Rouge to join his weetheart. Col. Taylor
was a man of grat determination, as he
afterward showed in the Mexican war and
in the Presidentia chair He dispatched
his swiftest ntessengrs to bring his daughter
home by a eircuitois route, and thus thwart
the young officer wio was hurrying to meet
her. The girl wa brought back to the
parental roof, and, after spending a greater
part of his furlong! in St. Louis, Davis re
turned to Fort Crawford. Old Col. Taylor
could fight the Irians, and would rather
have met a whde tribe that contend with
the domestic troubles that now assailed
him. He had bait a log house just out
side the stock ide, and here his fail
daughter strained her beautiful eyes
as she watched the surface of the
river for the coming of her lover. After
the return of Davis to Tort Crawford the
coldness which hitherO existed between
him and Col Taylor gtiw more frigid. The
young woman pined avay in the seclusion
of the log hut, and the young officer bided
the time when he miglt take his intended
from her father’s roof stealthily and in the
night. The father totlw the character of
the man he had to <feil with, and watched
bis daughter closely Now, it has been dis
puted that Jeff Dans took this young wo
man from her tatb-r’s house in the night,
but I ant ready totell what I know- and
stand by it.
“You see it hajpened this way: My name
is George Green, and I am 80 years old if I
live until next November. It was about
1834, or neat- thet time, when I, with a num
ber of others, writ up the Mississippi river
on a steamer tJ visit the Falls of St. An
thony. We hft the steamer where St.
Paul now is, <nd went over to the falls, re
maining so lng that when we returned the
boat xvasgoie. Nothing remained for us to
do, but to buy a largo canoe from the In
dians, which we did, and floated down the
river to Fcrt Crawford. At that time there
was a slough separating the few houses
which constituted the village from
the trading post and the fort on
the bunk of the river. I thought I
might make some money by using
the canoe as a ferryboat across this
slough, and bought out the interest of
my partners. I accordingly established
my ferry, and Jeff Davis was one of my
patrons. I did not like his pompous ways,
for when he paid his passage he always
threw the money into my hand as though tie
was throwing money to a beggar. One day
he came to me and asked me it' I could safely
row two persons across the river, and I re
plied that I could. Shortly .after he came
again and seemed to lie somewhat excited as
lie asked me to he on hand that, evening with
my oanoe. He was more gracious in his
manner and gave me some money as a guar
antee of good faith. I did not know then
that 1 was to lie a frtv to an elopement, or
I might have objected to doing a wrong
against Col. Taylor, for whom I had the
highest regard. It came about, however,
that I was at the slough after the sun went
down, and waited patiently for the young
officer.
“I had waited some hours when I beard
footsteps, and turning, I saw Jeff Davis
and Col. Taylor’s daughter hurrying toward
me. Not a word was spoken as he lifted
her tenderly to a seat in the canoe, and I
followed, taking up my paddle. We went
down the slough to where it joined the
river. Tho young woman began to cry
softly as we swept into the stream, and Jeff
drew her head over on his shoulder as he
spoke to her in a soothing voice. Across
tiio river we drifted, and the sound of my
Paddle could not be heard a furlong away.
Not a loud word was spoken in
that silent voyage, and I was at a loss
to understand the whole affair. We kept
on across the river, and every few moments
1 took occasion to glance around to see
how my passengers were getting along.
The girl hail cessed her crying, and by the
way she rested her head on the bosom of the
3'oung Lieutenant, I somehow became con
vinced that she was not altogether unhappy.
We landed on the opposite shore below the
island, and 1 waited with some interest to
what would happon next. Presently I
saw three men emerge from the thick under
brush some distance from the river bank,
and Jeff Davis put, some money in my haml
and told me to return. 1 learned afterward
that one of these three men who came up
on the river bonk was a priest, but I never
found out who the others were, and neither
did I ascertain the name of tho priest.
Before I had reached the place in
llio slough where I inooi-ed my
canoe I heard the noise of
n river steamer coining down from St. Paul.
Bho halted lielow tho island in the middle of
the stream, for 1 distinctly heard the engines
reverse ana knew that, Jeff Davis mid Ins
bride were about, to puss down the Missis
sippi to theHouCh. The next day 1 watched
closely for a glimpse of Col. Taylor, hut the
old soldier Was too circumspect in his actions
to betray auv anxiety. I was informed
that, Davis took the young woman from an
Upper window in the log cabin, and with the
assistance of the chaplain was enabled to
get, her beyond the picket linen unobserved,
there was no doubt that the chaplain was
on the other side of the river to witness the
marriage, and that he conveyed to Col.
Taylor the news of the elopement.
“I was away from Fort Crawford for
some Uiuo after this ephkvie, and heard no
more about it It is, however, a matter of
history that Col. Taylor was never wholly
reconciled to the marriage. It is state.!
that after the battle of Buena Vista, Taylor
visited Jefferson Davis as he lay wounded in
his tent, and extended his hand to him, al
though there was no further reconciliation.
Davis had undoubtedly won the battle with
the Mississippi Rifles, and Taylor could not
fail to recognize such gallantry. Time and
time again! have heard this story of mine
calle l falsehood, but it is and I am
ready to stand by it.”
(SIEGE OF CONNOR’S CASTLE.
Nr. Connor Finally Gets to His Wife
by Means of a Tight-Rope.
From the yew York World.
Boston, Sept. 11.—Mrs. Connor and her
five children, who have been besieged in
their Mount Vernon street home by the five
evietors who are watching night and day to
put them out, scored a point to-day by get
li ng her husband into the house. It is two
weeks to-day since the constables surrounded
the house and Mrs. Connor locked the doors
mi them. In all that time neither she nor
the children have stirred out of their rooms,
and Mr. Connor, who was unfortunately
out when the (-victors arrived, had not got
nearer to his family than the sidewalk.
Mr. Connor had been cudgelling his brains
to think up some way to get to ins family
and yet avoid the watchful constables. He
went into the back room of the family next
door and tightened up the clothesline that
inns out to a post in the yard. Mrs. Connor
reached out of her back window'and did the
same with her clothesline. The faithful
husband then borrowed an ironing board
and laid it ujxui the two clotheslines and
cautiously crawled on his belly to the win
dow of his own room, where his delighted
wife threw her arms about him and pulled
him into the house. The children danced
up and down in delight, and the constable
in the hall pounded on the door to try and
allay their happiness While Mr. Connor
was at the front window smiling at the dis
concerted aviators and holding converse
with his neighbors gathered uixmt, a tlre
mau from Engine 10 passed along and sug
gested that a ladder would be a good means
of exit and entrance. Being a friend of the
imprisoned man, he said that if Connor
would come along to the engine house he
thought he could scare up a ladder that
would fix him up. The idea struck Connor
as excellent, and he crawled across the iron
ing-board, and in half an hour was back to
the bouse with the ladder. Mrs. Connor
opened the front, window and her husband
was with her once more, and the ladder was
pulled up after him.
During the forenoon the water supply,
which has been turned off, became exhaust
ed, and the children’s faces began to show
the shortage in this direction. It suddenly
occurred to Mr. Connor that he might make
connection with his neighbor’s water pipe by
means of a rubber hose. The ladder was
carefully adjusted once more, and after a
visit to the engine house he trudged back
with a coil of pipe under his arm. The water
supply is now abundant.
CAUSED BY A CHILD’S REMARK.
The reason for the trouble which is caus
ing such crowds on Mount Vernon avenue
and so much inconvenience to the Connor
family is a small family row. Mr. Connor
has lived in his present apartments for
twenty years, and has become greatly at
tached to tho house. He rented the whole
place, lived on the second floor and sub-let
the first floor to a family named Lane.
Some time ago Lane’s little girls said to
Connor’s little girl:
•’We’re going to Ireland this winter.
Why don’t you and your family go some
where, too?”
Now it happened that Lane owed the
Connors two months’ rent and showed no
disposition to pay up, and the Connor girl
knew it. She replied:
“If my family owed two months’ rent and
only lived in three rooms I think I wpuld
rather stay at home.”
This unpleasant remark reached Lane’s
ears and a coolness resulted between the two
families. Lane thought it would tie very
pleasant to be landlord himself and hold t he
whip over the Connors. He went to the
owner of the house and offered SIOO more
for the lease of the house and got it in his
name. Armed with this lease Lane returned
and notified Connor to get out. Connor
could not hear to leax'e the old home and he
refused. Lane went to his lawyer and was
told to get some constables and put the ob
jectionable family out. This he aid, hut the
Connor little girl happened to see the would
be evietors crawling into the house through
the coal chute. She ran up stairs and bolted
the door. The evietors then began a council
of war, and the head man said he had been
authorized by the new tenant, Mr. Lane, to
remove the goods .of the Connor family
without delay. He advised unconditional
surrender, promising not to be hard on the
victims. He even promised to let the whole
affair rest until after dinner. This sugges
tion, however, was ignored by Mrs. Connor.
In fact, she declined all negotiations. Then
a picket line was thrown out around the
bouse, and good care was taken that if the
attacking party did not get in it should be
equally certain that the besieged did not
get out.
Night came on, and the crowd of specta
tors dispersed. The besiegers prepared to
camp on tho pavement unless they wore
successful. Since then it has been a dull
monotony for the plucky Mrs. Connor. She
and her family of live children, which in
cludes a ti- weeks-old baby, have spent most
of the time looking out of tho window and
watching the crowd that idled about. She
knew that so long as the door was locked
she was safe.
TAKING IN PROVISIONS.
In tlie last two weeks the staple articles of
diet have been getting low, and early this
morning, liefore the locked-out husband put
in an appearance, she laid in a goodly store
of provision. The oil can was lowered and
filled by a neighbor, who also hung on a
piece of ice to the rope. Then a basket was
let down and a steak and mutton-chop put
in it, with a beef-bone lor soup.
While this load was making its aseent one
of the neighbors’ boys amused himself and
occupied the Connor children at the other
window by tossing up carrots, beets, tur
nips and potatoes. The rope came down
once more and fished up a quart of milk,
and then a pound of butter made a safe
journey. The basket was tied to the rope
and sugar, flour and a package of tea were
carefully drawn up and stowed away.
The evietors stood around and helped tie
the things on and seemed to enjoy the fun.
They are getting $8 a day, and the longer
the siege lasts the better it is for them.
When Mr. Connor finally arrived and made
his appearance in the houseovertho ironing
board no was surprised at the store that had
boen laid in. He decided to remain in the
house and dispense with the rope elevator
and take the things up in future over the
ladder.
The Baby Beaver’s Dam.
From the Lewiston Journal.
“I know of a naturalist down in Eastern
Maine,” said a well-known Maine college
professor, yesterday, who wouldn’t be con
vinced that beavers could build dams till he
saw it done with his own eyes. He is an
awful incredulous fellow any way. I bought
a baby beaver of a hunter who tra|is them,
one day, and scut him to my sceptical friend,
lie grew greatly attached to the little fel
low and kept, him in the house, but he often
wrote me that his leaver didn’t show any
projienslty at all for dam building. One
Monday, washing day, his wife sat. a leaky
pail lull of water on the kitchen floor. Tho
beaver was in the kitchen, he was only n
baby then, too, and lie saw the water oozing
out of a crack iti tho nail. He scampered
out into the yard, and brought in a chip
and begun building hia dam. Tho natural
ist was summoned. He watched the little
fellow, thunderstruck. Huid he, ‘Leave
that itail there, wife, till doomsday, if need
lie, and let’s see what the little fellow will
do!’ The heaver kept at it four weeks, until
he had built a solid dam clean around the
pail. My naturalist friend I* quite a Is-e

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1887.
FRIGHTFUL EXECUTION.
The Awful Death of tho Ling-Chi De
scribed by an Eye-Witness.
Canton Letter Sew York Truth.
China has always been famed for its tor
tures, of which the pulling out of nails,
tieating on the face with a stiff piece of
leather till the features are indistinguish
able, suspending by the thumbs and toes, or
starving to death in a cage, are among the
mildest. Many, of course, are quite unfit
for public description, and the “Ling Chi”
is possibly not the least abominable and re
volting. It is, moreover, only inflicted in
very heinous cases, such as the murder of a
blood relation. The condemned man in this
instance poisoned his sister.
The execution was fixed to take place at
10 o’clock, and by 0:80 we had arrived at
the scene of action—a sort of narrow lane,
about, eighty yards long, formed by two
rows of pottery sheds, mid terminating at
one end by a pair of massive wooden stairs,
at the other by a high whitewashed wall—a
t ul-de sai \ A huge wooden cross was
erected close under this wall.
Having taken up our station on one of the
roofs, at a distance of about fifty feet from
the cross, we had not long to wait before
the Mandarin—the official deputed to super
intend the carrying out the sentence —ar-
rives!. He was preceded by about a dozen
soldiers armed with rattan canes, which
they laid about them pretty freely to clear
the way for the coming procession of sedan
chairs. An interval of aboir, ten minutes,
and an increasing hubbub and movement of
the crowd at the gateway heralded tho
approach of the condemned man, who pres
ently brought in in a large basket, carried by
two coollies, his arms and logs being flrmlv
bound. A strip of wood, covered with
Chinese characters indicating the punish
ment aliout to be inflicted, was stuck into
his clothing at the back of his nock. He
was young, apparently about 30 years of
age. It is said that the friends of prisoners
sometimes bribe the jailers to drug them
before these terrible executions. If so, this
had obviously not been done in the present
instance, for the condemned man seemed in
perfect possession of his senses, and had a
wild, defiant look on his face, which he car
l’ied to the las”. Arrived at tho foot of the
cross the basket was set down ami its in
mate assisted out. He was then (with the
exception of a waist-cloth) stripped naked
and placed against the cross.
Tho process of pinioning took an inter
minable time, and the poor wretch was very
roughly handled. I could see the perspira
tion pouring down: bis face as the fierce sun
beat upon his unprotected head and should
ers. He was bound to the cross with thin
bamboo strips around his ankles and above
the knees, and round the waist; his wrists
were secured to the arms of the cross, and
his head kept fast by two or three turns of
the bamboo strip across the eyes and in the
mouth, the last acting as a very efficient
gag.
The executioner now made his appear
ance, carrying, wrapped in a pieeeof ragged
cloth, a bundloof swords and knives, which,
with the utmost coolness and precision, lie
laid upon the ground under the very nose of
his victim. He then seized a knife, a ter
rible broad bladed weapon, about ten inches
long, and bared his arms to the elbow. All
was non ready. An inquiring look toward
the Mandarin (who still sat in his sedan im
mediately under us), an affirmative nod
from that official and the work of butchery
commenced.
Two deep cuts over each eye and temple
deliberately executed liognn the operation—
gnshei which turned great pieces of flesh
over and left the bone ex]iosed —then a cut
down each cheek and a deeper one over each
shoulder and under each armpit severing
the tendons and arteries, and deluging the
place with blood. Circular cuts to the none
in each upper arm and foreman followed,
and then, stepping back to get more scope,
the human devil who acted as executioner
hacked off the right hand with one blow.
A large piece of flesh was then cut (or rather
dug. out of each thigh and from over each
knee, and the flesh torn off both knee caps.
The calves of both legs were then cut off.
The executioner then desisted for a few
moments, and, wiping his hands with a
cloth, contemplated his handiwork with
evident satisfaction, very much as a skill
ful surgeon would do after a successful
operation. I should mention that the cuts I
have described were not given quickly-, but
the knife drawn deliberately through the
flesh, occupying at least twenty or thirty
seconds each time.
Another and smaller knife was now se
lected, and driven into the hilt under the
right breast bone, tho executioner working
it about, while his assistants fanned his
wretched victim with a large palm leaf fan,
for the double purpose of keeping off the
flies, which had already assembled in large
numbers, and hiding the hideous contor
tions of the dying man’s features, for he
was not yet dead, as I could see by the
working and twitching of tho fingers of his
remaining hand. Ten or twelve seconds
more of this diabolical torture and he was
cut down from the cross to fall, inert and
helpless, on his knees and face.
One assistant now heid back his arms,
while a second held out his pigtail at full
length before him. Changing his knife for
a big, heavy-looking sword, about five
inches broad at the cutting point, and which
he held in both bands, the executioner
stepped back a pace, aud, measuring his dis
tance, with one clean stroke, which I heard,
as well as saw, severed the head from the
body at a blow. The conp-de-grac* given,
the Mandarin disappeared, the gates were
thrown open, and the crowd poured in to
witness the final cutting up of the body.
The whole operation from its commence
ment probably occupied five minutes, but it
seemed like a good hour to me.
Old Peter’s Old Friends.
From the Nashville American.
An affecting incident occurred in the
court house at Greenville, S. C., a few days
ago, and was an illustration of the depth of
feeling that can exist lietween master and
slave. The case of Peter Herbert was
called, and the negro who answered to that
name went into the prisoner’s dock to an
gwer to the charge of retailing liquor with
out license. He was old and infirm, and os
he stood he represented a negro of the old
regime, of whom so few are left. A frag
ment of gray hair was combed straight
above his dark-furrowed brow, and he gave
iionor to the occasion by amiving himself in
his broadcloth suit that hu master had
danced in a half century ago. When
the witnesses for the government
hud lioen examined tho venerable ex-
Gov. Bonham, of Kouth Carolina, went on
the Htund and testified to the good character
of the defendant. Tull and erect, with eves
still glowing with the fire of eloquence, this
grant! old specimen of a Southern gentle
man stood and asserted the honor of the ne
gro who for forty years had boen Ms trusted
slave and friend, and although over 70 years
old. anti enfeebled wit h recent illness, he
had made a journey of over 100 miios for the
purpose of defending faithful old Peter in
the hour of his need. The incident was
rendered more touching when Adjt. Gen.
Bonham, Peter's “young master,” appeared
as his attorney, performing the service as
a pure gratuity to the old man. The case
oiided in an acquittal, and tears of grati
tude streamed down the face of Peter as he
expressed bis thanks toold master, and to
young Mass Milledge.
