Til R SOLON’S AN 1) THE SNOW
A GUAI’IIIC DKSCIIIPTION OF THE
WAY OUlt LEGISLATORS
■
Whiled Away the Time During the Snow-
Storm.
Atlanta Constitution.]
The members of the legislature enjoy
ed themselves as much as anybody dur
ing the snow- storm. After the early
adjournment, which occurred a lew
minutes after the assembly, the members
lingt red for some time around the Capi
tol building, many of them staying in
tlie Dali of the House of Representatives.
An interesting group discussed the
weather arouud the northwest water
cooler of the hall, and all agieed that it
w-as the heaviest snow that had occurred
in this section of Georgia in many a year.
“It is even heavier than the great
snow storm of 1809,” said Colonel Si
Hawkins, as he wrapped a handkerchief
around his neck and turned up the bot
tom of his pantaloons.
“No, I think you are mistaken about
that; for, if 1 remember correct,” and
here Colonel Mark Hardin was inter
rupted by the general shout which greet
ed his remark, which might have appear
ed less ambiguous Dacl he been allowed
to finish.
Mr. Franklin, of Thomas, spent most
of the morning gazing on the snowy
surface of the house tops and earth,
from the fourth story of the capitol. It
was the fiist snow lie had ever seen, and
lie was delighted with it.
Messrs. Huff, Russell, Glenn, Clay,
McCord, and a number of the other
younger members of the body joined a
local snowballing terror organization,
and said they had not had so much fun
since the session begun.
Hon. Joe Lamar said he had a six year
old boy at home who had never seen
snow, and as all of Augusta’s snow w’as
s eet, he regretted that he had nut
brought him here with him.
“Why, just send him some when you
write,” suggested Captain Dick Wilson,
as he punched tlie long hand of the
ancient chronometer and moved it to the
position where it ought to have been.
Hon. Mr. Lumsden, of White, said
that he doubted if lie had any constituen
cy left at home as his county was about
three feet under snow, and it was still
falling.
“That’s nothing to my county,” said
Hon. John Perry, of Gilmer, “for the
last time it snowed there it was so deep
til
“Chestnuts?” chimed iu a dozen
voices, and the speaker said that he
thought the building unsafe, and left.
“Ever since I was a boy,” said Hon.
Lewis Arnheim, “l have loved to see the
snow, and it is grand to-day. But the
best thing is to jnst put some milk and
sugar with it and —”
“Thanks, we will go with you—l was
just about to suggest it myself,” came in
wonderful harmony a dozen voices, and
the gathering dispersed.
The members spent theday in various
ways, many going out in sleighs, many
visiting the fair sex and others passing
the time in keeping their rooms.
Hon Bob. Berner thought the judiciary
commit’ee ought to meet in the atrei
noon, but the committeemen were of the
impression that if the house had decided
that it was not best to risk death, that it
would be injustice to themselves and the
house to put the committee in the slight
est danger.
In all, the legislature passed the day
pleasantly.”
THE PRETTIEST CLERK IN WASH
INGTON.
From the Omaha Herald.]
It is said that the prettiest girl in the
employ of the government is a copyist at
the Navy Department. This is saying a
good deal, as about 4,000 women hold po
sitions in Washington, and probably 2,-
000 more in other parts of the country
are receiving salaries trom Uncle Sam.
Some of the “Countesses,” as the girls
employed in the Treasury are called, are
very pretty, but the belle of the navy is
claimed to be entitled to the apple of
Paris. She is a niece of our Minister to
England, Phelps, and her family reside
in this city. For about four years ihe
young lady has been employed as a type
writer in the office of Commodore Wal
ker, the chief of the bureau of detail,
receiving a salary of S9OO a year. She is
a dark-eyed blonde, with a beautiful
figure, and tlie officers of the navy are all
her devoted slaves. She was so much
interrupted in her work by ihem, that,
Commodore McCalla, in whose room she
is, was compelled to prohibit the officers
from interviewing her in department
hours, and got a large screen, behind
which her attractions are now hidden,
[f the Commotio e leaves his room for a
moment there is certain to be some bol <
young tar about the building to _ru n iu
for a chat with ihe beauty, and when
McCalla returns the culprit is profuse in
his excuses. The number of officers who
have type writing to be done is astonish
ing, and they all want to superintend
the' work. The young lady does not
appear to be aware if her attractions,
but cannot but notice that the other type
writers are not in such demand as her
self. When she leaves the department
at night there are generally two or more
officers accidentally waiting in the corri
dor to escort her safely down the elevator
and see her to the street ear.

SEQUEL TO AX OLD TRAGEDY EX
ACTED IX GEORGIA.
A Husband Takes the Life's Blood of Hi*
Young Wife** Betrayer, and Become*
a Wanderer on the Face of
the Earth.
New York World.]
An envelope which reached the office
of the Governor of Georgia this week,
postmarked Kansas City, Mo,, recalled
twoot the most appalling tragedies ever
recorded, in one of which a wife’s honor
was ruined, her betrayer slain, and her
husband made a convict, while in the
other a frail creature lost her life at the
hauds of a confirmed old roue.
In 1874 there lived in one of the pret
tiest little cottages on Hunter street, in
tills city, the family of Colonel Spinks.
The daughter of the household, Miss
Cora, was just blooming into the graces
of young womanhood. When young
Sam Hill, the son of an excellent family
and the possessor of abundant means, se
cured her hand in marriage, he was the
recipient of congratulations from every
hand.
Into a cottage near that of her parents
Sam Hill inducted his charming wife.
Their devotion towards each other in
these early days of love is a tale still told
in the neighborhood. In time the cares
of business led the husband into other
cities. He noticed a gradually increasing
despondency in his wile. It was a long
time before the truth broke in upon him,
and when it did it was on the streets,
where he heard his wife’s name freely
handled. Crazed with grief he rushed
home, and repulsing his wife’s accus
tomed caress, flung her roughly from
him, while he poured forth the revelation
which had been made to him. On her
bended knees she confessed all. She had
been betrayed by John l\ Simmons at the
house of Lottie Ross.
Silently he raised his weeping wife
from her knees, and kissing her, lelt the
house without a word. Down Hunter
street he walked, until he reached White
hall. There he beheld, a little in ad
vance, the figure of John P. Simmons.
He tracked his steps through the crowd
into the National hotel and into tbo bar
room. Simmons stood in the act of tak
ing a drink when a bullet from Hill’s re
volver w r ent, crashing through his brain.
The trial which fo lowed was long and
tedious. The public was shocked when
Mrs. Hill entered the courtroom and
fondled and caressed tlie husband who
was the victim of her folly. To conclude
the trial Hill made a s atement full of
protestation of love for his wife, and'.hmi
the pair kissed each other in open court.
The sympathy which was felt for the
husband gave w*ay to disgust at such a
scene, and the jury promptly rendered a
verdict of guilty of murder.
Sim Hill went up to the supreme trib
unal to have his sentence confirmed.
Finally, wdien all hope had to be aban
doned, Sam Hill’s friends succeeded in
having him put in the lunatic asylum,
from which he escaped later, and for stx
years he has been a wauderer. He first
went to New Orleans, then to Corpus
Christi, Tex., and finally to the City of
Mexico, following the career of a desper
ate gambler. He always kept posted on
home affairs, however. Regularly every
week, until six monts ago, a letter ad
dressed to Mrs. Cora Hill would be re
cieved at the Atlanta post office, and be
ing as regularly refused by Mrs. Hill,
always found its way to the dead-leter
office in Washington, 'l’hree years ago
Mrs. Hill applied in DeKalb county Su
perior Court for a divorce. The case was
never called for trial, because, it is un
derstood, that Mr. Sam W. Small, now
an evangelist, but then a stenographer,
was retained by Sam Hill to fight the
case.
And now the second tragedy remains
to bo told. Lottie Ross, the beautiful
blonde at whose house Mrs. Hill was
drugged to her ruin, kept sinking lower
and lower, hut she never ceased to be
beautiful. One morning about tw*o years
ago the people of Nashville were aston
ished to hear that Col. Boyd, a wealthy
gentleman of that city, had murdered his
mistress, Birdie Patterson. Twice Boyd
has been convicted of the crime, and he
is still engaged in the unpleasant duty of
fighting the verdict of the court. Bovd,
who has many relatives in Marietta, Ga.,
during on* of hisjvisits there, took a run
down to Atlanta, met Lottie Ross, be
came enamored of her and had her con
veyed to Nashville under the name of
Birdie Patterson.
Now, Sam Hill, having traveled the
world over, is in Kansas City. Asa
sentence for murder hangs over him, he
must keep shady, but he has ventured to
write a long letter to Gov. Gordon, nar
rating his temptations and pleading for
that executive clemency which it is not
improbable he may obtain.
FOR LOVE’S SAKE.
AN INFATUATED YOUNG HUSBAND
KI LBS HIMSELF
Because of His Beautiful Wife’s In
difference.
A telegram from Louisville, Ky., says:
Five months ago William Dunn, a young
man who had barely attained his majori
ty, was married to Miis Minnie Howard
at 1226 High street. This morning his
dead body was lying on a bed in the room
in which the cetemony had been per
formed, he having sent a bullet through
his brain. The bride was a pretty young
girl, and the couple seemed to get on in
the usual happy style fora month or two.
Differences then sprung up between
them. This was continued lor some
weeks before an opnn rapture occurred
between the couple, although they had
frequent disputes. When the quarrel
came it was a violent one and resulted
in a separation about a montb-ago. Since
that time, however, Dunn has visited the
house several times,and efforts have been
made to arrange the trouble between
them without success, the young wife
seeming utterly indifferent. Dunn was
very much in love with his young wife,
and was almost crazed b/ her refusal to
become reconciled. 1 his morning lie
went to his wife’s room and asked for a
final interview, which he granted him.
She talked to him qmetly, but told him
that she was confident they could not live
happily together and had therefore de
termined to push an action for divorce.
At the end of the long talk the wife
kissed the husband good-by and left the
room. She had scarcely closed the door
when a pistol shot rang out ir. the air.
Rushing back into the room she found
Dunn lying across the bed quite dead,the
blood trickling from a powder-burned
wound in the temple. The report of the
pistol brought a crowd of people into the
room, and the young wife was carried
out, the coroner called and an inqu *st
held. In Dunu’s pocket was found a
letter protesting his undying love tor his
wife, and telling rter if she could not
live with him he would refuse longer to
live.
