A FROLIC CLOSED WITH A TRAGEDY PAKTICffLABS OF THE TERRIBLE AFFAIR. On Saturday morning last tho peaceful sereuity of the community was disturbed by the report that a revolting murder had been committed late the previous night at the place known as the “Park House” at Thunderbolt, now kept by Mrs. Catherine Fognrtv. The 'Park House is well known to all visitors at Thunderbolt, having been for many years the n-sidence of Mr. Jefferson Hols'rts, being located at the extreme northern end of tho settlement. In Sep tember last it was leased by Mrs. Fogarty as a public house, and is at present occu pied by her. There have been only a few regular boarders at the house during the past two months, and among them was Thomas McDonald, a young Baltimorean, who came to Savannah not quite three months ago, uml being a professional horse trainer, he was given the control of the track at Thunderbolt, and the training of the various horses belonging to our city horsemen, which were stabled there. In this position he gave general satisfac tion, and made himself quite popular in the neighborhood, being regarded as a ipiiet, sober and industrious young man. At night, when occasion required it, lie bail voluntarily assisted at the bar attached to the house where he was hoarding, and it was whilst attending to these duties that he met a horrible and sudden death. He was but twenty-three years of age, of medium size, and rather, genteel and ueut in appearance. In connection with this unfortunate oc eiirrence it is necessary for ns to here in troduce a young woman by the name of Lillie Rogers, w ho was entered as a boarder at this place by a gentleman friend of this city, three weeks ago. Although no un usual intimacy existed between this woman and McDonald, yet, from information fur nished us by occupants <rf the house, it would seem they Inal always been on friendly terms. The report that there was a ball or en tertainment given at the house on Friday night, we ascertained is incorrect—the frolic whi h took place being entirely im promptu, as the proprietor, Mrs. Fogarty, was in the city at the time. It appears that several parties drove down during the evening, some taking companions with them, and among the visitors wore Charles Delarge. Shortly after their ar rival Charles DoLarge singled out the woman. Lillie Rogers, as bis partner, and was with her a greater portion of the evening. Both lied been drinking, but it does not appear that either was greatly in toxicated, although Lillie Rogers is said to have been rather exuberant. About half past eleven o’clock this young woman, ac cording to our information, went into the bar-room where McDonald was waiting on someone, and commenced frisking around him and occasioning him some annoyance. He told her to go away, hut she refused to do so, and became quite violent and in sulting to him. At last Ids patience was exhausted and he said “go awav I tell von, I don’t want to strike a- . ” A gentleman who was standing by said, “No, Tom, 1 wouldn't hurt one of the poor tilings.” or s inrthing to that effect. Tho opprobrious word, however, seemed to have completely maddened the already excited woman, and clenching her hand she turned upon McDonald and threatened him. It was stated bv a witness tlmt she subsequently used the words “I‘li have him killed or kill him myself.” Our information is that she then left, the room. About hull-past twelve she re j.ppcarod again in company with Charles DeL.irgo, and commence*! abusing Mc- Donald, who was then standiug near the edge of the counter and behind the bar, stating he had insulted her. DoLarge, it is alleged, said he would “he and and if I don’t kill any man who idols with my girl.” Home oik' standing near regarding this threat as bravado, it. is stated, sarcastically remarked, “oh J wouldn’t do that.” when Lillie Rogers went behind the counter and snatched up a tumble?. At this moment there was a genthman standing at the bar immediately in front of DoLarge. Mc- Donald was stooping iu an oblique po sition to get. sornot.hnig, when suddenly, with an oath, 1). Large sprang forward, and reaching over the shoulder of the gen tleman mentioned, dealt, McDonald a ter rible blow with aknifein the right, temple, followed quickly by another stab just be hind and under the left ear. and a wound in the left arm. It is not known as cer tainty that Lillie Rogers threw the tum bler, as wo heard of no one who saw her do it. but from tin ■ot that the unfortu nate man had another severe gash on the right side of the head, some infer that she did. The deed was accomplished so sud denly that few saw it, although there were quite a number in the bar-room. McDonald was stunned for a moment, when he rushed from the bar to the door of the sitting-room, immediately opposite, about ten feet, the blood spurting from his wounds in a perfect stream. The door of the room was shut, and ns the poor man, blinded by the gore trickling over his face, struck liis head against it, the entire panel was blurred with his blood. He then ran to tho kitchen adjoining, which he managed to enter, when he fell from weakness into tho arms of an old colored man, employed as cook upon the premises. As he stumbled he cried in a piteous tone, “Bend for a priest!” and | then, “Oh ! my poor mother !” He did not lose consciousness, however, although lie could scarcely articulate ! above a whisper. He was heard to mut i ter hoarsely “I am dying,” and extended to those around his hand and faintly mur mured “good-bye,” when suddenly all sound ceased, and a convulsive shudder (which sent a thrill of awe through the anxious few around) followed, ad the young man, just on tlie threshold of life, lay silent in the cold embrace of death, his young soul ushered by the unholy hand of an angry fellow man, unsurn moned aud unprepared, into the august presence of the Supreme Being. Immediately after the commission of the deed, DeLarge and Lillie Rogers fled from the scene, but were subsequently arrested and are now in jail. At the inquest on Monday last Lillie lingers confessed to committing the deed, but says she did it in self-defense. The i jury returned a verdict “that the said Thomas McDonald came to his death by wounds inflicted by sharp instruments, said instruments being in the hands of Lillie Rogers and Charles DeLarge, on the morning of the 6th instant, at Thun derbolt.” Charles DeLarge is said to be a native of Charleston; he is about twenty years of age, and is of medium size. It is under stood be has been engaged in a bar-room on Anderson street, and is rather inclined to dissipation. Lillie Rogers is a New York woman, and has been in Savannah for several years. She is a very beautiful woman, and is said to be educated and accom plished, but as the foregoing will show, of a rather disreputable character. She is about thirty years of age. McDonald's remains were interred on Sunday. McMahon’s Duels in 1827. He was then a straight, tall boy of nine | teen, with wide blue eyes, light flaxen hair, i ami a demeanor somewhat solemn and j thoughtful. Little given to dissipation, he I preferred riding and the manly sports of i iiis boyhood to the gambling, hard-drink ing and frivolous gallantries in which most of his brother officers indulged j but, on I,ho other baud, he was a noted ami skillful duelist. This was one of the ne cessities of his position. An officer who went much to court, and had personal reasons for being attached to tho King, could not, in those days, stand by indiffer ent w hile the royal family were assailed by liberal journalists, and by Bonapartist of ficers of Napoleon’s old army. MaeMnhon made a point of attending the Cafe Valois, in tho street of that, name, which was then the headquarters of royal ist officers, and there duels were arranged almost every night as coolly as pigeon matches would he in these our modern times. It was the custom for the liberal papers to be placed in aheap on tho cen tral table. At five o’clock officers dropped in, and at six, when the room was full, the papers would he read aloud, and if one of them contained anything offensive to the King, tho officers would draw lots among them as to w ho should go and chal lenge the editor. Important journals were then generally provided with a responsible lighting editor, whose solo mission it w as to accept challenges. He was generally an old half-pay officer or sergeant, and now and then it hap pened that he could not even read. Mue- Mahon fought seven of these gentlemen in the course of five years, and it is on i record that h was never once wounded, nor did ho ever kill his man. He was ] singularly expert in the art of [linking his adversary in the fleshy part of the right I arm, but above the elbow, inflicting a wound that was not dangerous, but which obliged his adversary to drop his foil like a hot coal, and to keep his arm in a sling for six weeks. This thrust got to be knownaa “la botto MaeMnhon,” and it. earned the young officer many oucouiums, for which he little cured, being iu his heart averse j to duelling. A Paris Balloon in Africa. —A curious story comes to us across the ocean of a shapeless bundle of rags found recently in a tree-top in the South African colony of Natal. It proved to be one of the miss ing balloons which floated out of Paris during the seige with a freight of letters and dispatches—orders from the govern ment of national defense to its Generals in the field, and messages of love and cheer, of sorrow and complaint, from the suffer ing citizens to their friends outside. If the government had no better w ay' than this of reaching its commanders, it. is perhaps not surprising that the military operations of France occasionally lacked consistency'. It has been suggested that tho contents of this serial mail may have an important bearing upon the trial of Bazame; but a question which will interest the public far more than the purport of the letters is how tho balloon should have found its way from France to the southern extrem ity of Africa. Natal is over 5,000 miles from Paris in a direction almost due south. \Vt should like to know what Prof. Wise’s easterly current was doing while the air ship made this extraordinary voyage.— A'. Tribune. 4**. An encounter of a fearful character re cently took place at Constantinef Algeria, 'between the and Arabs. As a.fin ish funeral procession passed through one ! of the principal thoroughfares an officer of tirailleurs insulted the mourners by spit ting at them, and using obscene language. Some friends of the mourners becoming en raged at this unseemly conduct, at tacked the officer, and eventually threw him down a fearful precipice more than 100 metres deep. Numerous >- :shed upon the Jews to avenge thoir countryman, and a terrible conflict ensued, in which ; several thousand Jews and Arabs took part.
