A CORPSE BY A HOTEL.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF R. H.
CALDWELL AT PHENIX CITY.
Ho Was Carried to His Room Intox
icated—Never Seen Again Alive.
Doubt as to Whether He Fell from
a Window or Was Murdered His
Money Missing.
Columbus, Ga., June 11.—R. H. Cald
weli of East Point, who has recently been
engaged in building the brick depot at
Phenix City, Ala, for the Central railroad,
was found dead in front of the Ingersoll
house, in Phenix City, last night at 11
o’clock. He had occupied a room in the
house with a veranda in front of it, and at
first it was supposed that he had fallen
from the veranda and killed himself, as the
body was under the veranda with the left
side of the head badly mashed in. The
coroner impaneled a jury this morning to
investigate ihe matter, and there is grave
suspicion of foul play.
CARRIED TO HIS ROOM.
At 6 o’clock last night Caldwell was car
ried to his room intoxicated, anil was not
seen afterward until he was found dead,
lie was known to have had between S4OO
and SSOO on his person, yet when the body
was found there was no money at all on it.
The coroner’s jury was not satisfied with
the evidence that could be produced, and
they returned a verdict of death from a
wourd on the left temple, the cause of the
•wound being unknown.
AN ARREST.
Will Dutfie, who was drinking with Mr.
Caldwell, and with whom he had a dispute
about bis money, was arrested late to-night
charged with robbery. Mr. Caldwell had
accused Duffle of stealing bis money, aDd
Duffle was heard to reply angrily that be
■would kill any man who charged him with
stealing. The affair has created great ex
citement, and a thorough investigation will
bu made.
HOT AGAINST HARDEMAN.
Northerns Friends In Houston Said to
be Making Threats.
Port Valley, Ga., June 11.—The
primary of last Saturday has failed to quiet
the politics in this county. The Houston
county executive committee, which is com
posed about equally of Hardeman and
Nortlien men, met Monday to consolidate
the returns of the primary and elect dele
gates to the gubernatorial convention. The
consolidation of votes was amicable, but
•when it came to the appoint
ment of delegates there was quite
a ripple. Things did not quiet
down, and before the committee adjourned
Northon and Hardeman secured half the
delegates each. This action riled Harde
man’s supporters, who denounced the notion
of the executive committee in the extreme.
Col. Northen’s friends were calm, but
intimated to the News correspondent that
they were not defeated yet and it would
take hard work for Col. 'Hardeman to beat
Col. Northern
A THREAT.
Col. Northen’s friends threaten that if
Col. Hardeman announces his candidacv
for governor they will hold a caucus, pass
ing resolutions urging Col. Northen’s friends
through the state to unite on some good man
and beat bis brother, B. U. Hardeman, who
is a candidate for re-election to the state
treasurers!) ip, and from telegrams
seen regarding this matter from dif
ferent parts of the state, there is
more in this threat than merely
idle words. CoL Northen’s friends in
Houston have put on their war paint, and
are going to fight bard to the end for his
success, and if his sailing becomes any way
rough someone else will get into trouble,
and they do not care who it Is, if bv so
doing they can benefit the chances of Col.

Fla., made to-day. He has been here a
week. To-day he went to Jointer’s Island,
three miles from Brunswick, and found a
vein a mile long and sixty feet wide. A
hole was bored fifty feet deep, and the
deeper it was bored the more valuable the
phosphate was found to be. Mr. Allen wood
left for his home last night. He will at once
report the success of his trip to the compa
nies he represents and they will commence
the shipment of the fertilizer from this port
at an early date.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1890.
MRS. SMITH OF NEW YORK
SHE LIKES TO HAVE A GOOD TIME,
AND GENERALLY HAS IT.
How She Goes About It to Enjoy the
Aforesaid Good Time—The Lady Is
Neither a Flirt nor a Coquette, but
She Has Her Idiosyncracles De
scription of What is Called a Clever
Woman and Her Many Fads.
From a .Vein York Letter to the Han Francisco
Argonaut.
Let us call her Mrs. Smith. Her right
name is much more impressive aud has a
charming prefix, for ladies of her kind
have everything charming about them,
from their small slippers to the jeweled pin
in the top of their heads. Any oue who
goes frequently to Delmonico’s, to the mati
nee, to Fifth avenue, between 3 and 6
o’clock, to the opening days of fashionable
milliners, to the spring exhibitions of paint
ings, to any place where the gay world
congregates—without iuvitation —may see
her and form his or her own estimate of
what kind of a person she is.
In appearance she is pretty and rather
quiet: in age, a little over 30. She never
has any money at all; in fact, she will tell
you quite seriously that they are going to
be turned out for rout, and that the chil
dren are going barefooted —yet she has
everything of the very latest and most
expensive. When violets are 25 cents
apiece, Mrs. Smith always wears a bunch
in her coat; when boas of feathers first came
over from Paris, Mrs Smith had the pret
tiest to be bought in town; wien marquise
rings adorned the fingers of the only Four
Hundred, Mrs. Smith had a beauty nearly
an inch long; when rich young ladies wear
silk stockings only when arrayed in their
war-paint, Mrs. Smith never wears any
other kind. And all this when it is known
at road that the butcher talks fiercely of
suing the Smiths for his bill.
Mrs. Smith is always expensively dressed,
with an odd, original touch about every
thing she wears. I first saw her at a sort of
lawn fete in summer time, where ladies are
generally supposed to dress gayly and in
light colars. Mrs. Smith wore pale green
crepe skirts, a green velvet bodice cut out in
the neck, a huge straw hat with a wreath of
green flowers round it and a pointed crown
fully eight inches high, immensely long yel
low gloves, and yards of gauze veiling
twisted round her neck. She looked as if
she had come out of “La Vie Parisienne,”
or a water-color sketch by Leon Moran. The
mind of man cannot picture anything more
piquant, striking, almost grotesque, than the
figure of Mrs. Smith in this costume. There
were a young girl and a man with her, and
they walked about looking at the people, and
the peopie looking at them as if they were
escaped lunatics.
After that I saw her often. She con
stantly lunched and dined at Delmonico’s.
She drove out on a coach to Pelham; she
went to everything in the way cf theaters
worth seeing; she was always on hand at
reception days of clubs and charity balls.
The peculiar thing about her was that she
was never without the young girl and the
man. It was not always the same girl and
the same man; but in style they were all so
similar that they might just as well have
been the same. The girl was invariably
very pretty, young and fresh-looking. The
man—no longer in his first youth—gentle
manly, reserved and well-dressed. When
they sat together over their meal or the
play, the girl was always lively, full
of a sort of graceful vivacity, laugh
ing and sparkling, and making little
funny sallies which caused the gentleman to
laugh. Bhe always seemed a charming
girl, with her fresh cheeks and attractive
smiles. Mrs. Smith herself was not partic
ularly talkative, but she took in everything.
She knew just who was about her, and she
saw every detail of every costume within
sight of her keen black eyes. She ate her
dinner with the relish of a gourmande, loi
tering over choice dishes, moving her fork
slowly in a small hand blazing with rings,
sipping her wine with a knowing air, and
between the courses leaning back in her
chair and surveying the people from the
shade of her large curly brimmed hat.
Many people who saw Mrs. Smith had
misgivings regarding her. They did not
know anything about her and they thought
that, after all, that was not to bo regretted.
Ignorance, in this case, though not precisely
lilies, was a thing to be cultivated. Mrs.
Smith did nob seem to care in the least.
When she had her pink-cheeked maiden
and her middle-aged admirer with her she
seemed to be perfectly content. Tfiere was
a Mr. Smith, everybody knew, who kept in
the background, and there were little
Smiths, wno were coming up like flowers,
any way they wanted. Mrs. Smith in her
prodigious hats her violets, aud her mar
quise rings,did not seem to think about these
incumbrances, but with her faithful two
had a good time.
One morning at Del’s, a short while ago,
a lifting of heads and a sudden concen
trating of glances toward the entrance, a
frou-frou of silk skirts, and a delicate per
fume of violet extract, proclaimed the ad
vent of something charmiug. It was Mrs.
Smith, fresh as the spring, with a huge
bunch of violets in three shades in her
jacket, and two Parma violet pins in
enamel confining her collar at the neck.
There was the usual small waisted damsel
with her and a bald-headed man, with stiff
joints and pointed beard. They sat down
by the window,and while Mrs. Smith studied
the carte, the young lady talked in a
sprightly fashion aud the man listened,
smiling condescendingly.
It so happened that the ever present B
was there—B—-, who knows everything
and every one in New York. There were
bows between him and Mrs. Smith, and
then ho left his seat and crossed over to
speak with her. For some moments he
stood beside her talking. She was very
lively and pretty and gracious, introduced
him to the young lady but not to the man,
and the three had a few minutes’ talk which
seemed very jolly and bright. IV hen B
left them his face was decorated with a
pleased smile. It was the most natural
thing in life to hurry out after him and
request him to unravel the mystery of Mrs.
Smith.
“Oh, Mrs. Smith,” he said laughing,
“she’s all right. She has her little idiosyn
crasies, that’s all. She likes a good time,
that’s all that’s the matter with Mrs. Smith.
Old Smith gives her a lot of rein, but the
minute she is too lively he’ll draw it tight
again.”
“And what will happen to the good
time?"
“She’ll take care of that. Smithy, as I
said, has her idosyncrasies. Her good time
is not every one’s good time. She loves
gaiety like a debutante. She’s perfectly
happy if she can eat a good dinner, or see a
play, or go anywhere where there’s a swell
within eyeshot. She doesn’t care for any
man living. She hasn't got the first instincts
of a flirt or a coquette, She’s nothing but
au empty shell. There is not a single thing
inside her—good, bad or indifferent. She
has no feelings at all in any direction, ex
cept a sort of tendresse for the society of
well-dressed people and a sentiment for a
good dinner.”
“Don’t her people object to the way she
carries on *”
“But she doesn’t carry on. She has
never had a flirtation in her life; never had
au admirer but old Smith. She is one of
the most circumspect women to be found in
the city. She has no dislike to her husband
or her family, but they simply don’t amuse
her so well as the outside world does. Mrs.
Smith lives for her good time, aud, though
she is the biggest fo l on earth in most
things, she’s really clever about her good
time.”
“How is that?”
“You’ve noticed how she always has a
pretty girl with her? Well, that girl is
alwavs a nice, pretty, bright, agreeable
girl, a charming girl,' her one fault an in
timacy with Mrs. Smith. Then there is
always a man—older, well-off, generally
vain, pleased by Mrs. Smith’s blandish
ments. She introduces the two at a recep
tion, a play, a dinner. Thevtalk; Smithy
oversees and steers the conversation. After
ward she meets them at different places and
telis each what a desp rate impression they
have made on the other. Tney are both
flattered. The girl was very pretty and
bright, and has really fallen a des
perate victim—that’s what the man
thinks. The girl thinks that here is an
opening for some fun—he is awfully nice
and has lots of money, and is dying to see
more of her. Dear Mrs. Smith! So dear
Mrs. Smith arranges a little dinner at Del’s,
which, of course, she must chaperon. The
couple are at their best, feeling that at
each moment the vis-a-vis is falling deeper
in love. After the dinner Mrs. Smith
makes more little confidences. ’My dear,
he is perfectly crazy about you,’ and ’Mr.
Jones. I beg of you not to trifle with that
dear child’s happiness by making her fall
so frantically in love with you.’ And then,
as each of the lovers feels that, out of
human Kindness they ought to be kind to
the victim, there is a party to the matinee,
and Mrs. Smith on joys the play and a large
corsage bouquet.”
“Aud this is how she has her good time?”
“Precisely. She’s much cleverer than
you'd ever suppose. Why, there is rot a
single play that woman doesn’t see, and the
dinners she has eaten at Delmonico’s
would go lack from here to the Crusades.
She has the best porsible kind of a time—a
perfectly safe time, and has uever been
gossiped about in the least. She has got this
Beatrice and Benedict business down to
such a fine point now that she has no rival
—there must be a chaperon, you know, and
Mrs. Smith is the best chaperon in New
York.”
“You know all about her?”
“Certainly. I was in the toils myself for
a season. Miss Somebody or other, a de
lightful girl, was said to be blighting her
young life with love for me. She believed
that I was blighting mine. We have both
now recovered from the blight—though
mine was to the tune of a dozen dinners a nd
theatre parties, aud bouquets and candies
by the carload. My flirtation was one of
Mrs. Smith’s most successful campaigns.
She bad an unusually good time that winter,
and I see she still has hopes of me as good
material for another. She just introduced
me to that girl now—Miss Thingumbob,
from some place in the suburbs—
very pretty, bright as anew cent: thinks
that old baldhead is dead in love with her.
Should the old bald-head not come up to
time, and he looks as if he might ba rather
unmanageable, Mrs. Smith will tell that
dear girl that ‘Mr. B , you remember
we met him at Del’s that day—is dying to
meet you again. Such a nice fellow, and
not a bit fond of girls!’ O, I know her—a
singed cat dreads the fire. I think of my
twelve dinners and my sixteen theater par
ties, and my mastodon hill at Klunder’s,
and my enthusiasm for Mrs. Smith’s chap
eronage grows cold.”
“But don’t the Beatrice and Benedict get
on to the way Mrs. Smith is usiug them as
a means to attain her good time?”
“Sometimes toward the end of the season
it generally strikes them with a dull, sicken
ing thud. But then, you see, Mrs. Smith’s
flattery is of a particularly insidious kind—
the kind you want to believe. It is only
human when you hear a delightful girl is
pining for love of you to believe that it is
true, and to sacrifice yourself for the sweet
creature by giving her a large amoilnt of
your society. And after the season is over,
and his lovely admirer has gone to the sea
side or the mountains, even then it is next
to impossible for the male viotim to confe s
to himself that he has been made a fool of.
He still clings to the original theory that she
adored him. He wants to believe it and he
generally does. 0, Mrs. Smith is a wonder
fully clever woman, one of the cleverest in
town.”
IN BED FOR TWENTY YEARS.
The Death of Robert Wright Recalls a
Queer Hallucination.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The death of Robert J. TV right at Bustle
ton on Saturday last will recall to mind a
very peculiar man. Deceased was a son of
the late Joseph Wright, of umbrella-making
fame, and founder of Wright’s institute at
Frankford. The country seat of the elder
Wright was on Powderraill lane, near
Frankford, where the son, Robert J., also
resided, and for tearly twenty years was
scarcely ever seen out of doors. ' He kept
himself locked up iu a room from which
every ray of daylight was excluded. He
also had a doctor to attend him regularly,
although he had no ailments. He
had a couch arranged in the
room upon which he laid, and seldom it was
that he was found upon his feet. The hallu
cination that he waAufferiug from a disease
lasted for many years.
The late Dr. William Guernsey of Frank
ford was for several years Wright’s physic
ian. One day while seated near the cot
upon which Robert was lying the doctor
said to him: “Mr. Wright, you could not
walk if you wanted to, coula you?” Quick
as a flash the sick man bounded out of bed
and skipped several times around tho room
“like a rabbit”—as Dr. Guernsey said in
describing the scene one day—and when he
jumped into bed again he said to the doc
tor: “Can’t I though!”
About eighteen years ago, and subse
quent to the death of his father, he rented
the large Washington hotel at Tacouv, and
moved there with his adopted daughter, a
Miss Wernie. Here he had for an amanu
ensis Frank Rigler of Frankford, now state
superintendent of the public schools of the
state of Oregon. Young Rigler would
write copy at Wright’s dictation all day
only to be' torn up at uight by the author.
From Tacony the deceased moved to Bus
