JACKSONVILLE’S CHARTER
The supreme Court Hears the Argu
ment of Col. Fleming.
Tallahassee. Fla., Nov. 16. —This after
noon tile Supreme Court was in session to
hear the argument of Col. L. I. Fleming, of
Jacksonville, in the Jacksonville charter
case now pending. Col. Fleming contended
that the last Senate was properly organ
ized when presided over by the Lieutenant
Governor who was at least President de
facto of the Senate, and consequently his
acts are binding. The question of special
legislation was considered, with the conclu
sion by Col. Fleming that no ice of applica
tion was not necessary at tho last session.
Discussion as to the illegality of the amend
ment to the charter was proceeded with
on the theory that the amendment does not
conform to the constitution, and is there
fore invalid. The charter, as it now stands,
is deficient in provisions for the organiza
tion oi anew government, and it is c aimed
thut if the. charter is valid the general elec
tion laws are applicable to the form of first
government under the new charter or else
no organization can be made practicable.
The decision is awaited with intense interest
by all because serious questions are in
volved, and Jacksonville is specially con
cerned.

NIGHT PROWLERS.
A Blackahear Physician Has a Lively
Experience.
Blackshear, Ga., Nov. 15.—Dr. R. W.
Fuller, of this place, was called to a dying
child, about six miles in the country, last
night, and did not get back home until
about 12;.'50 o’clock this morning. He went
to his back door for entrance and, greatly
to his surprise, lie saw a man in the back
vard between the dwelling and kitchen.
He {mid no attention to him, but went to
the door, and was admitted by his wife. He
told Mrs. Fuller that there was someone in
the yard, and not to be alarmed, that he in
tended trying his artillery on him. When
the doctor wont out he saw no.hing of liiin
at first, and thought lie had lost his game,
but when he went behind the kitchen
lie saw the villain making his way out
through tho garden. The doctor fired at
him i hree times with a Smith & Wesson
double action pistol, and thinks one shot
took effect. He then went out into the
street where his horse was, for the purpose
of taking him into the lot, and again, to his
surprise, he saw another man in the street,
who followed him nearly half way to his
nearest neighbor, Mr. Paul. The Doctor
stoppod at Mr. Paul’s, and got him, with
a doubU’-liarreled shot gun, and endeavored
to capture the rascals. Put they made good
their escape. On the same night, but befiire
Dr. Fuller name back home, someone tried
to force open the back door of Mr. Paul’s
house. Mr. Paul was at prayer-meeting at
the time, and Mi's. Paul was alone, with the
exception of little children. Dr. Fuller is
accustomed to much night work, and it is
pretty certain that he. together with others,
will get these villlans, should they return
again. TV. L. McMillan.
KE HAD SEC .ETLY MARRIED.
Strange Dual Life of a Young Million
aire of Ohio.
Dayton (0.) Special to the A’etr York World.
A peculiarly interesting affair has come to
light since the recent death of Samuel C.
Tatum, a young millionaire of Avondale,
an aristocratic suburb of Cincinnati. By
many Mr. Tatum was considered very pecu
liar, and by all his acquaintances was re
garded as a woman-hater. As might be
naturally supposed, with the son of a mil
lionaire, he was looked upon as a desirable
candidate in a matrimonial way, but ho
serried entirely indifferent to such entangle
ments, and was considered a col firmed
bachelor by all his relatives and friend-.
As the body lay at the house a carriage
drove up and an elegantly dressed lauy
alighted. Her black eves, dark hair and
features indicated French descent. She
hurriedly walked to the front door and ex
citedly demanded that -he be permitted to
sen the remains of Mr. Tatum. The woman s
manner was so -trange and her agitation so
noticeable that this was refused. She in
sisted that she had a right to what she
asked, and in proof took from her pocket a
document and handed it over tothi rn 'mler
of Ihe household who had rescinded to the
ring of the bell. It proved to lie a forma!
certificate of the marriage of Samuel Ta
tum, Jr., to Marie FrancosEmonmn,of this
citv.
The family were surprised when confront
ed with tbis'evidence of Tatum’s double life,
and a consultation was hurriedly held, end
ing in the visitor’s being courteously in
vited in. It was evident that the document
was regular, and that the lady was the law
ful wife of a man whom all had regarded
as single. The situation was accepted by
the family, and tho lady has since remained
at the mansion, being treated With all the
kindness and honor to which her position
entitled her.
Marie Frances Emonin. the secret wife of
the dead millionaire, was born and reared
in this city. Her parents are what ought
be termed very poor, but respectable. The
storv of Marie's experience for the past
four years, no to the discovery that -he was
the wife of Mr. Tatum, is a- romantic as a
novel. Her people here knew she was mar
ried—4u fact, Tatum has been here with bis
wife—but they knew him only as Herbert
Linton, until recently, when the daughter
wrote her mother a letter explaining cer
tain matters.
When F.mriie. as she is familiarly called,
left home four years ago last April it was to
go to the Betts Street Hospital in Cincin
nati. as was li en thought, to die. She was
Buffering with a tumor or cancer, and her
parents having exhausted their little capi
tal in trying to save their daughter, she
flnahy detenu ii‘d, on advice of friends, to
go to Cineuui. ti When her parents, broth
ers and si-te: - bid her good-by it was with a
feeliug'lwt she wotil.i never return alive.
But she found relief and finally was cured.
It was while a patient in the hospital that
she first saw Samuel Tatum. How they
became acquainted, and how that acquaiut
ati'-e ripened into something more earnest
none but themselves knew When she again
returned home it was only on n visit, tor
she had become the wife of Herbert Linton,
who, as time Ims den eloped, was ,Samuel C.
Tatum. Jr. They were married in Cincin
nati, Covington, or some contiguous city,
the marriage license reading: “Herbert
i Linton to Fannie Thresher.” This marriage
! took place in September. 1883. It was kept
! secret, notwithstanding the tact that they
i kept house somewhere in Cincinnati.
It appears that Fannie had her doubts
about that sort, of a marriage, anil pleaded
with her liege lord that they get married by
their right names. This lie promised, hut
refused to have it take place ii Cincinnati.
1 Two years after this marriage, in Is-a, they
• tis.ka trip through the East. They spout the
Fourth oi July in Buffalo, and on the next
day Mr. Tatum preen id n li l ' n-e there and
the couple were then remarried by their
correct unmet Butin spite of this fact
Fannie’s mother, until quite recently, be
lieved her daughter's husband’s name wu-
Herbert Linton. .She oven now speaks of
him as Herbert. She lias their pictures in
an album as they appeared seated on a
rustic bench together, taken the same day
of their fictitious marriage.
Al ter tiiis second marriage the couple re
timed to Cincinnati, but still maintained
the name of Linton. They lived together
on Court street for a long time and at lee
ward at 277 Eighth street. They were
visited there by both of Mr. Tatum’s pa
| rants, hut iin mi itlier o; tho young man, it
is be'ievt-l, never admired her daughler-in
i law very much. Iu fact, it is nor. known
i hi re it she ever considered her a- such reia-
I live until she saw tue Buffalo ma nage cer
i tiiieate alter her sou’s death. Mrs. Einon
i uin, Fannie’s mother, visit*.-1 tho coup e In
i Cincinnati, and says she had heard her
daughter call her husband “8a ouol," but
tlie never knew him by any other name
-han Herbert until she ree utlv received
her daughter’s letter of explanation.
It is also asserted that the couple hail a
child. Tho daughter spent throe weeks In
this city with her folks during early sum
mer, coming here with her Husband, who
after a day's visit went on to Chicago, Mil
ls tukee and the Northwest. The letters re
ceived by Mrs. Emonnili indicated the sick
ness of her daughter's husband: that she.
I the daughter and wile, wa- his only nurse.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1887.
and that he was lying sick at their home on
Eighth street. How he came to be taken to
his parents’ home cannot lie discovered
here
Mrs. Emonnin bad no knowledge of the
wealth of her daughter's husband, and was
frank enough to admit she often had her
doubts about him because of the-eerrsy and
mystery surrounding him and hi-wife. She
is also satisfied that her daughter was in
ignorance as to his wealth even after their
genuine marriage in Buffalo. The case is
one of mystery and has aroused consider
able interest Here.
A POSTMASTER’S OFFENSE.
The Milton Postmaster Pleads Guilty
to Defrauding the Government.
From the Pensacola (Fla.) Commercial.
I gist Saturday, John Carlovitz, the post
master at Milton, Fla, was arraigned be
fore United States Commissioner Humph
reys, in this city, on a charge Of defrauding
the government by an excess of cancel I a tion.
Defendant pleaded guilty, and gave bond
for his appearance at the March term of the
United states Court.
Carlovitz is an old Union soldier, and has
held ti e position of postmaster at. Milton,
since 18-’; the retention of his services after
the national administration changed bands
is believed to have been in consideration of
his record as a soldier.
His offense, which is one of very general
commission in fourth-class offices, was of
this nature: His salary was proportionate
to the value of stamps cancelod in hisuffice,
and he, from day to day, recorded an ex
cess of the actual cancellation. Inspector
Boykin, who worked lip the case, says Car
lovitz has played the “excess” game for a
number of years, and succeeded in getting
a salary of nearly sl,lllO per annum from
an office that should yield ordinarily about
$; 66.
The manner in which offenses of this
character are detected by the inspectors is
of ttie simplest nature, and they are cer
tainly novices who attempt to defraud the
government by an excess of cancellation.
The ease of Curlovitz will very well serve
as an illustration of nearly every detection.
It was noticed at headquarters that Carlo
vitz’s sale of stamps for a quarter was al
ways inferior to the amount of -tom[is can
celled for the same period, and the discrep
ancy was so great that tne question natu
rally arose - where did the output of stamps
coniefroin? Then the inspector who was
put to work on the case, assisted by
the route mail agent, took all the mail that
left the Milton post ffiee, from the mail
pouch, and checked the amount of stamps
cancelled. This he did every day for a
month. Of course Carlovitz kept a daily
record of his cancellation, and the excess re
corded by him was readily detected when
compared with the actual cancellation as
cheesed from the mail pouch.
Carlovitz told the inspector, when admit
ting his guilt, that liis only regret was that
matters had not been looked after more
closely live years ago, when lie would not he
in the predicament in which he was now
placed.
Inspector Boykin says the Milton post
office is otherwise admirably administered,
there being not a better fourth-class office
in five States.
As remarked at the beginning of this
item. Carlovitz’s offence is a very common
one, and. under a Republican administra -
tion. was carried to extremes. The present
administration was not a little perplexed to
notice, shortly after their advent to power,
a vast falling off in the cancellation of
stamps as compared with ttie reports under
their predecessors, and it was only after an
exhaustive effort to ascertain the cause that
the real reasons were detennined. The
fourth-class postmasters, fearing detection
under a Democratic administration, had be
gun to make honest returns. It was upon
the report o f Inspector Baird, to whom the
idea was suggested by Postmaster Yonge,
of this city, embracing the excess-of-cancel
lation theory, that. Congress made the ap
propriation to detray the expenses of an in
spection of fourth-class offices, and the fart
is another and a very decided victory for
the present administration.
Carlovitz was the moving spirit in the or
ganJisal ion of the l'ourth-class postmasters,
which is shortly to meet in convention at
Washington, for tho purpose of urging up
on Congress the necessity for providing
a more adequate remuneration of the ser
vices of fourth-class [jostmasters.

Love’s Solitude and Her Lantern.
From the Danbury News.
In one of the vicinity towns there is a
young girl, about 12 years of age, afflicted
with a strange mania. She is large for her
age, of fine physique, possessed of good
features, and more than ordinarily pre
possessing. She is robust in health and
shows great activity, and Ls unusually
smart and intelligent, with the exception of
this mania. Every night about 8 o’clock
she will go to a neighbor’s house to borrow
a lantern. Each time she will make anew
excuse for doing so. If she succeeds in get
ting the lantern she then takes long walks
She does not confine herself to the public
highway, but wanders about the fields and
frequently in the woods. She does not seem
to know what fear is. either of man or beast.
She frequently perches herself upon a fence
ami sits there a long time, dangling her
lantern. About 10 o clock she returns home
and goes to bed contented. Her friends, of
coni-se, object to these lantern strolls, and
she has to steal an ay. Those of her neigh
bors who know about them refuse her a lan
tern. She has a number of times greatly
frightened persons, which seems to please
her amazingly. She is in no respect way
ward, but seems possessed of a strange and
fascinating mania for a lantern.
