From the Savannah, Oa. News.
Among the passengers oa the
steamship City or Auguota,nowon
her way to New York, in n young
lady wltone singular adventure in
traveling from Jacksonville to Sa
vannah won for her the title or the
lost woman. On Wednesday night
Mise Martha Iiowti, accompanied
hy her aister, left Jacksonville, oc
cupying a a -ctlon In the Savannah
slec|ier. They were destine! for
Boston, and expected to sail by the
steamer Onto City on Thursday af
tvrnoon.
Some time after leaving Jackson*
ville Miss Howes asked a porter to
escort her to the Cincinnati s'et-p
er, in which' wero several friends
destined to Cincinnati hy the way
of Savannah, as they supposed.
Leaving her Imnd-lmzgage, bonnet,
puroe and lir-kets with her sifter,
she stepped into the car where her
trie-ids were and sat down. After
a pleasant chat she called the por.
ter, this time of the ear in which
site was rilling, and asked him to
lead tier back to the Savannah
slee|>er. ••Tho Savannah sleeper,
ma’am? Why, there's no Savannah
ear on this train!" A look of snr
prise canto over the young lady os
sho realized her situation, and her
fri. a Is w.-re equally as surprised,
ns they supposed they were hound
for Savannah also, the porter ox-
plained that the Savannah sleeper
had been left at Waycross to Ik-
taken by the night train, and that
they were being whirled on towards
Albany. What to do 'ho young
lady did not know. The train was
then some distance beyond Way-
cross, and too far to tide back by
carriage in the night. She was
without money or tickets, and
knowing that her sister was una
ware ol her whereabouts, and would
lie concerned for her safety, sho ex
plained tha circumstances to the
conductor, and at the first stop a
telegram was sent back to Way-
cross sayihg that the would return
ihero hy the first tram. Tho tele
gram was llot received hy her sis
ter, who came on to Savannah and
relate') the circumstances so fur a-,
she knew them to Messrs. Barnard
& Richardson, agents of the Boston
lino of steamers. Mr. Barnard at
once became interested, ami set
out to find the young lady. A
telegram was sent in her name to
Waycross, and to insure its tleliv
cry'another was sent to the opera
tor stating the circumstances, snd
asking that the most -go be placed
in Miss Howe's hands as quickly
as possible. An hour latera reply
was received that thcro was no
such person in town. This aroused
Mr. Barnard's interest still luriber,
and he determined to find the
young lady without fall. Being
wholly unaware of her movements
after the left her sister below Way-
cross, he surmised that site had
been carried past on tho Cincinnati
sleeper and would reach Savannah
by Hie way of Macon and the Cen
tral rail rod. The ship by which she
expected to sail was to leave at 4
o'clock, and in hopo of her arrival
by Hie 3:25 from Macon, Mr. Bar
ntrd made p:eparations to meet
her upon her arrival at the Central
depot with a carriage, so that t-he
m'glit reach the ship without de
lay. He told the story to Major
Whitehead, of the Central, who,
with a significant shake of the
head, looked at Mr. Barnard to see
Whether he wm in earnest.
“She's skipped! There's a young
man in the case,'' replied the major.
Mr. Barnard assured Mm that
this could not be, asd a telegram
was sent to tbc conductor of the
Macon train at Milieu to find outil
Mias Howe was on board. The re*
ply came back, “Not on train."
Baffled in lids move, Agent
Knapp, at Macon, was telegraphed
a full description of Hie young
lad v, and asked to keep a lookout
for her. Mr. Knapp searched the
city, and replied that there •'■ns no
person answering to Miss Howe's
description to be found.
Tho ship was by this time ready
to sail, and the young lady's sister
was anxiously awaiting int lligcacc
that ah» might lead to her recov
ery. Ujion the' teceipt of Mr.
Knapp's rep'y that be had been
unable to gain any information of
her whereabouts in Mtcon or along
the road, the case began to look
mysterious. Mr. Bernard assured
bei sister that every eOort would
be made to reach Miss Howes,
and that abc would be sent by
the next steamer. With Uiisaa.
surance the sister left for Boston.
Mr. Barnard at once continued Ms
efforts to find tha young lady, and
by repeated telegrams succeeded
er at Chattanooga, where it was
learned from the conductor that
Mika Howes had been sent back to
Wayerosa that morning. In the
meantime tho interest of those en
gaged in the search for the young
lady bad heightened, and various
theories were advanced. It was
thought by some she bad fallen or
jumped from the train and was kill*
ed. and by others that t te matter
bad licen pre-arranged and that she
hod voluntarily left her sister and
eloped. The telegram from the
conductor at Chattanooga was not
wholly rati-factory to those who
believed that each was the case, and
it was not until more, definite in
formation had iteen obtained that
they were convinced of tbc young
lady'a discovery.
Colonel Haines, of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, who
had been acquainted with the cose,
telegraphed the operator at Way*
cross and learned that Miss Howes
had been there, but bad gone on lo
Brunswick, where she had friends.
Lsler a telegram was received from
Brunswick announcing her arrival
there, and Hint she would reach Sa
van nab on Friday .morning. The
Friday morning train brought her
to the city in company with a gal
lant young German, who, npon
learning of her adventure, assumed
the role o( protector until he bad
placed her in Mr. Barnard's care.
She had been provided with mo.iet
by her friends, and further than
being wearied by a long day’s travel
was as unconcerned about her safi tv
as though she iiad been in her
home.
Thu anxiety of her friends had
been greater than licrown. While
tracking her the short dint-nee she
had traveled, the telegraph had
clicked her nuine over thousands
of miles of wire, and nt the offlues
whore inquiry had been made, and
on board the trains where the por
ters inquired, “Miss Howes on
hoard?" she iiccnnie known as “the
lo-t woman.” There aro probably
lew incidents In travel which bet
ter illustrato the possibilities of an
error, and which show more clenrly
the wonderful ptogri ss ofii.Vention
than the one just told. The long
night of M'ihs Howes from Way
iiro-ts to Albany and return, her
trip to Justtp and Brunswick and
on to Savannah was made without
tbc slightest embtriassment, and
she wan given tho most courteous
attention by the train officials by
whom she whs pissed to her des
tination. Upon arriving here she
was driven to tho I'ulaski house,
and in the afternoon was placed
on board the City of Augusta en
route to tier borne in tbo old bay
state.

Helping the New Orleans Exposition.
N«w Yotlt llemtd.
The bill loaning one million dol
lars to tho World’s Industrial and
Cotton l.'eotennial Exposition at
New Orleans bus been passed by
Congress and will doubtless he
signed by the President. Tbe
money is to be paid by the Trees
urer of the United States in cer
tain stipulated sum • on tbe draft
ot tbe presidentand treasurer of tbe
Exposition, and on tbe assurance
of the subscription of Qve hundred
thousand dollars by the itocknold
era. As this latter subscribed
capital is to be increased to a mil
lion dollars^tnd one hundred thous
and dollars have been subscribed
by tbe city of New Orleans, tbe en
terprise starts with two million,
one hundred thousand dollars. In
the case of the Centennial Exhibi
tion at Philadelphia Congress ap
propriated two million*, the city of
Philadelphia a million and a half
and tbe State of Pennsylvania one
million dollars—more than double
the sum subscribed for New Or
leans. The New Orleans Exposi
tion has lite advantage of general
populaiity at the ontset, which the
Philadelphia enterprise lacked; it
will also benefit by all preceding
experience, ana this it worth con
siderable money to its management.
Tbc Atlanta Colton Kx|>osilion
resulted in widely extending tliv
trade in Northern machinery and
gricultural implements,and stimu
lated invention in tbe direction or
the production aod handling of
cotton. Tbc display at New Or
leans—to which that of Atlanta will
have been as a Constantinople
ba;ai- to the great Riiidan fair
at Xijni Novgorod—should enor
mously influence commerce, manu
factures and agriculture through
out the entire Booth. It is a praise
worthy undertaking, and Congress
has done well to aid in forwarding
It.

oourt is in session, Jadge John T.
Clark presiding. Ilia honor’s charge
to the grand jury waa a most
forcible one, and it waa apparent
to all that it made an impression
for good upon tbe minds of those
who heard it. Judge Clark is one
of onr foremost judges, and in a
life devoted to pnblie interests he
has unselfishly performed ail of
his high duties.
The officers of tbo courtarealive
to their interests, ami the venerable
clerk of tho court, J. C. F. Clark,
with an experience of thirty years
in bis duties, though over seventy
years of age, performs hit duties
as skillfully as would a yonnger
man. Terrell county can boat*, ol

marked are hie high business char
acteristics that he has been com.
plimented upon bis efficiency by
tbe judge upon tbe bench.

This court has a very efficient
solicitor-general, J. H. Guorry, who

comparatively speaking, a young
man, nevertheless, ho is old in his
experience of the law.
