her way to New York, is a young
lady whose .singular adventure in
iiong the passengers on the j gaged in the search for the young
isliip City of Augusta,now on lady had heightened, and various
theories were advanced. It was
traveling from Jacksonville to Sa-
vannah won for her the title of the
lost woman. On Wednesday night
Miss Mauha Howls, accompanied
by her sister, left Jacksonville, oc*
cupyihg a n elion in the Savannah
sleeper. They were destine! for
Rostou, and expected to sail by the
steamer Gate City on Thursday af
ternoon.
Some lime after leaving Jackson*
ville Miss Howes asked a porter to
escort her to the Cincinnati sleep*
er, in which were several friends
destined to Cincinnati by the way
ol .Savannah, as they supposed.
Leaving her hand-baggage, bonnet,
pur«c and tickets with her sister,
she stepped into the car where her
trie ads were and sat down. After
a pleasant chat she called the por
ter, this time of the car in which
she was riding, and asked him to
lead her back to the Savannah
sleeper
thought by some she had fallen or
jumped from the train and was kill
ed, and by others that t ie matter
had been pre-arranged and that she
had voluntarily left her sister and
eloped. The telegram from the
conductor at Chattanooga was not
wholly satisfactory to those who
believed that such was the case, and
it was not until more definite in
formation had been obtained that
they were convinced of the young
lady’s discovery.
Colonel Haines, of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, who
had been acquainted with the caso,
telegraphed the operator at Way-
cross and learned that Miss Howes
had been there, but had gone on to
Brunswick, where she had friends.
Later a telegram was received from
DAW SOX DOTS.
Dawson, May 27—Tlie Superior
court is in session. Judge Jolm T.
Clark presiding. His honor's charge
to the grand jury was a most
forcible one, and it was apparent
to all that it made an impression
for good upon the minds of those
who heard it. Judge Clark is one
of our foremost judges, and in a
life devoted to public interests he
lias unselfishly performed all of
his high duties.
The officers of the court are alive
to their interests, and the venerable
clerk of the court, J. C'. F. Clark,
with an experience of thirty years
in his duties, though over sevenlv
years of age, performs his duties
as skillfully as would a younger
man. Terrell county can boast of
having one of tho best sherifls in
the State, IV. X. Thornton, anil so
there, and that she would reach Sa
vannah on Friday morning. Tho

car on this tnin!’’ A look of wur
prise came over the young holy as
she leftiized her situation, and her
frienJs were equally as surprised,
us they .supposed they were bound
for .Savannah fdso. the porter ex
plained that the Savannah sleeper
hatl been left at Way cross to be
taken by the night, train, and that
they were being whirled on towards
Albany. What, to do the young
lady did not know. The. train was
then some distance beyond Way-
cross, and too far to ride back lly
carriage in the night. She was
without money or tickets, and
knowing that her sister was una
ware ol her whereabouts, and would
be concerned for her safety, she ex
plained the circumstances to the
conductor, and at the first stop a
telegram was sent back to Way-
cross saying that she would return
there by the first train. The tele
gram was not received by her sis
ter, who came on to Savannah and
related the circumstances so far as
she knew them to Messrs. Barnard
& Kichardsoii, agents of the Boston
line of steamers. Mr. Barnard at
once became interested, and set
out to find the young lady. A
telegram was sent in her name to
Wave!oss, and to insure its deliv
ery another was soul to the opera-
tating the circumstances, and
asking that the messtge be placed
in Miss Howe’s bauds as quickly
as possible. An hour Inter a reply
as received that there was no
such person in town. This aroused
Mr. L’aniards interest still further,
and he determined to find the
young lady without Jail. Being
wholly unaware of her movements
after ♦ he left her sister below Way-
cross, he surmised that she had
been carried past on the Cincinnati
sleeper and would reach Savannah
by the way ot Macon and the Cen
tral rail rod. The ship by which she
expected to sail was to leave at 4
o’clock, and in hope of her arrival
by the from Macon, Mr. Bar
nard made p.eparations to meet
her upon her arrival at the Central
depot with a carriage, so that she
might reach the ship without de
lay. 11*' told the story to Major
of the Celll**!!I, who,
uifieant siiake of the
head, looked at Mr. Barnard to see
whether he was in earnest.
“She’s skipped! There's a young
man in the case, v replied the major.
Mr. Barnard assured Jdm that
this could not be, and a telegram
was sent to the conductor of the
Macon train at Milieu to find out if
Miss Howe wa 1 -on board. The re
ply came back, "Not on train.”
BaJlIeti in this move, Agent
learning of her adventure, assumed
the role of protector until ho had
placed her in Mr. Barnard's care.
She had been provided with tuonev
by her friends, and further than
being wearied by a long day’s travel
was as unconcerned about her safety
as though she bad been in her
home.
The anxiety of her friends had
been greater than her own. While
tracking her the short distance she
had traveled, the telegiaph had
clicked her name over thousands
of miles of wire, and at the offices
where inquiry had been made,*and
on board the trains where the por
ters inquired, “Miss llowes on
board?” she became known ns “the
lost, woman.” There are probably
few incidents in travel which bet
ter illustrate the possibilities of an
error, and which show more cleorly
the wonderful piogress ofir.vention
than the one just told. The long
night of Miss Howes from Way-
cross to Albany and return, her
trip to Jcsup and Brunswick and
on to Savannah was mado without
the slightest embarrassment, and
she was given the most courteous
attention by the train officials by
whom she was passed to her des
tination. Upcu arriving hero she
was driven to the Pulaski house,
and iu t.ho afternoon was placed
on board the City of Augusta en
route to her home in the old bay
state.
