“The recent cases of sandbagging which
have excited the attention of-.the people of
not only New York but of the country at
large are but a revival of a form bf crime
which appears every fifteen or twenty years,
and which is mack more prevalent - in other
parts of the world than it ever has been in

I turned and gazed at one of the most
lovely,,creatures it has ever been my Jot
to see. Her light golden hair was bound
up high upon her head, and surmounted
by a dark crimson rose,- held in her man
tilla of black lace; her dress open,
and showed a wonderfully cliiseled
throat; her arms, too, were-bare from (
'the elbow, in their exquisite whiteness
and shape; her dres3 tvas of black lace.
But it was not the dress that struck one
so forcibly—it was those great gray eyes *
and dark lashes, the curved eyebrows,
the aquiline nose, the perfect lips. !
and of all the Hamiltons is the only one
who was especially trained for the army.
He was one of those young officers—a
lot of lieutenants and captains in their
“twenties”—who after having received
some preliminary training as inferiors
in a small war of ’48, were called upon
to take important posts in ’61. Hamil
ton was severely wounded at Mil Flores.
From ’47 to ’54 he served on Scott’s staff,
still true to the Hamilton practice of be

When the civil war broke out Hamil

in New York. When the “New York

Washington he was one of the privates.

was the 'utilization of one of the rubber life
preservers which are inflated with air and
fastened around the neck. They vary from
ten to fourteen inches in length and one to
two inches in diameter when fully inflated.
The rubber cloth of which they are made is
extremely strong and flexible. The sand-
bagger Alls it nearly full with water, seals
the end, and bus a bag which can not be ex
celled for deadly work. The water being a
fluid, yields tnucb quicker than does sand,
and inflicts even a deadlier blow.
“The sandbag, notwithstanding the fact
that it is found every now and then in every
'American community, is essentially foreign.
It is rare to find any one who is skillful iu'its

waymen in different parts of Europe are said
to display considerable mastery iu its employ

who have been convicted of sandbagging in
onr Criminal courts, not one has shown any
familiarity with the deadly instrument of

“The most impressive quality of the sand
bag lies in its not abrading'the skin of the

only a short time ago where a man’s skull

It was time the bull fight commenced.
I gazed round the ring. Behind and
around me was the dusty crowd, among
which passed the sellers of water with
their shrill cry of “Agua, agua fresca,”
and the venders of biscuits and nuts.
Below, the ■ arena, with its burning yel
low sand, a miniature desert. Suddenly
the band commenced to play; I' turned
and saw that the administrator’s box
was no longer empty. A small man in
a black coat and silk hat had taken his
seat there. One by one the spears of the
picadors were handed to him, and he
measured the points to see that none
were beyond the prescribed length.
Clear above the music of the band rang
out the notes c2 a bugle. A great fold-
had been a member in Mexico* the vet
eran Scott. The general needed some
one to look after his correspondence, and
in Schuyler Hamilton he found an ad
mirable secretary.
From Scott’s staff Hamilton went to
St. Louis to become the chief of staff of
Gen. Halleck. About this time (in No
vember, 1861) he was made a brigadier
general of volunteers and placed in com
mand of the department of St. Louis.
Then he-joined the army on the Missis
sippi, and was the first to suggest the
this style of assailing a man.
‘-‘Among the Latin races, not only are these
parts of the body aimed at by thesandbagger,
but in many cases, and especially those
where revenge, jealousy or malice and not
robbery is the inspiring motive, the small of
the back or the neighborhood of the kidneys
are picked out as the portion of the body to
be struck. A powerful blow delivered in
this region is seldom fatal, but does inflict in
juries of the worst type. Spinal disease, pa
ralysis, kidney disorders, premature old age
and other extremely seriouff ills ore among
the many possible consequences of such a
blow. The cruelty involved in such in
stances is simply fiendish, and is, I am glad
to say, almost unknown to either the Ameri
can, Englishman. Irishman or German.

far as the material employed is concerned, he
has used cotton and woolen cloth, bed tick
ing, crash, heavy silk, sausage skin, eel sldii,
leather and even snake skin. A number of
famous sandbags, which have been captured
by the police, are worthy of mention. One
was a handsome eel skin, filled with sand
dose up to the end, and thence with birdshot
to the end itself. This arrangement gave the
effect of a slungshot to the affair, and added
to the strength of tho arm which wielded it
the awful effect of a swift rotary motion.
Another, owned by a French murderer, was
of silk, handsomely embroidered and finished
with silk-wound leather thongs. A third, of
Spanish origin, was of fine sheepskin, so care
fully finished as to bo as soft as the best
chamois.
“In giving weight to a slungshot, equal

increased.

powerful assailant. In any number of in
stances where men have been stunned in this
manner by highwaymen, there was no tell
tale mark whatever—the only indication oi
where the injury had been inflicted being s i
soreness of the flesh or nerves just below tht i
skin. Where, however, a bag is heavily
weighted, as, for example with lead pipe,
then a discoloration, often very considerable,
marks the place of the injury. This is espe
cially true where the blow is so strong that
besides rendering the victim unconscious it
also inflicts more serious damage.
“Sandbagging is not as rare as is commonly
believed. Criminals, especially those of for
eign origin, carry these instruments of death
quite frequently. There is, however, a seem
ing periodicity in their use, just as there is iu
other forms of crime. In nearly every civil
ized country where good police statistics ari
kept, it seems that both garroting and sand
bagging come into fashion every fifteen ox
twenty years and meet with a little success,
which arouses a storm of popular indignation
and insures the detection and conviction ol
the offenders. It may be of interest to add
at this point the singular fact that this style
of highwayman is usually first betrayed by
his own associates. There is something sc
brutal, ferocious and cowardly in sandbag
ging, that it excites a feeling of disgust in
minds familiarized with crime. It is from a
chance-word or sentence that falls under such
circumstances that the clews are given upon
which the criminals are ascertained and their
conviction secured.
“There is always novelty in the instru
ments of crime. The odd sandbags described
are but a few cf the long list which are dis
covered by the police. There appear to be a
number of inventive men who take A pecu
liar delight in creating new and deadly weap
ons. Last week, for example, an English
seaman was arrested who was carrying about
as murderous a tool as can be imagined. It
was a set of brass knuckles, heavier and ug

thumb, there was attached to it a revolver,
and at the bottom a sharp, double edged dirh
projected three inches below the lower line
of the hand. Its owner oould shoot, strike
or stab in almost the same movement.
“The French exposition thislyear has borne
fruit in the same line. A cane is so arranged
with a knife blade in the handle that a slight
jar converts it into a short spear. The same
principle is applied to umbrellas, parasols
and even fans, and enables a woman to con
vert her paraphernalia into a traveling ar

“The principle of theaii'-cane gun has been
likewise extended in many directions. We
now have an air pistol, as well as disguised

Tlie engineering corps of the Georgia,
Carolina* Northern Railroad are now
in Athens.
They arrived Thursday night from
Greenwood,S. C.,and will take up their
work at once from Athens to Atlanta.
A Banner reporter met the Division
Engineer, Col. Morrison, yesterday and
inquired what he thought would be his
route from Athens to Atlanta.
“I cannot say just yet,” he replied
“for I have not received definite in
structions from our .chief engineer on
that score. I am expecting him to
arrive from Greenwood to-day or to
morrow and, in the meantime, I will
make several surveys around Athens to
investigate the matter of entering the
city with the G., C. & N.”
“Where do yam think you will enter ?
asked the reporter.
“I shall make a survey this morning,”
said he, “to euter upon the south side of
the city on or next the Lilly lands.
This is directly opposite to the direction
in which the road will approach Athens,
but w? will make a curve of the road,
crossing the Georgia Railroad track in
East Athens and spanning the Oconee
river below the Athens factory. I do
not know that this route will be the one
adopted, but we will survey it -and oth
ers entering the city in various places
end make an estimate of the costs and
conveniences of them and let the chief
engineer make his selection.”
“You haye surveyed the road to Sa
vannah river,haven’t you ?” was asked.
“Yes, the surveying is completed in
both the Carolinas and we only have
from the river to Atlanta now to survey.
We will begin to-day or to-morrow sur
veying from Athens to Atlanta and an
other force will take up the route from
the river to Athens and have it finished
by the time we reach Atlanta.”
“Where is the grading force now lo
cated ?” asked the Banner reporter.
“They are nearly at Clinton and are
pushing their way with wonderful ra
pidity. They have a large force of hands
on the road and would have reached
Clinton long since, but for the fact that
there is ; a great deal of heavy grading
around that locality. It will not be so
heavy after they pass Clinton and the
grading will move on most speedily.”
The G., C. & N. will soon he finished.
Every official and every man interested
are exerting themselves for a speedy
completion and the road is fast assum
ing the shape of a bright reality.”
