THAT SAVORS OF ADVENTURE AND DAR
ING.
Yesterday a Constitution represen
tative met Mr. Burgess Smith, one
of Atlanta’s expert book-keepers,
who said:
“If you will see Senator Payne, ot
Cherokee county, he will give you
the particulars of a big robbery near
Canton.”
"Where will I find Senator Payne,”
asked the reporter.
“At Mrs. Johnson’s at West End.”
And with a view to ascertaining
the particulars, the reporter whs
soon speeding his way toward West
End. With but little difficulty the
resilence of Mrs. Johnson was
found, and upon the porch sat Sena
tor Payne, engaged in digesting
some legislative document. After
introducing himself the reporter
said.
“I am told that you know the par
ticulars ot a big robbery near
Canton. Can you tell me about it?”
“Yes, I can tell you what I know,”
said Mr. Payne, pnd laying aside his
papets. he began:
“At Hickory Flat, near Canton, in
Cherokee county, there resides an
old gentleman namedSiarling Kemp.
He is 55 yeais of age, and Jias resided
in that neighborhood for the last
twenty-five or thirty years. He was
esteemed and respected by all who
knew him. and by industry and fru
gality had gathered together quite
an amount of this world’s goods, and
was looked upon as being in good
circumstances. He and his wife had
raised quite a faniilyr Sjme time
last spring Seaborn R. Jackson,
another old citizen of Cherokee coun
ty, and who had the confidence of all
who knew him applied to Mr. Kemp
for board and whs accommodated.
Soon aftor going to Mr. Kemp’s Mr.
Jackson told Mr. Kemp and his wife
that he had $1,969 in gold in hie trunk
and showing them tbe money re
quested them to exercise due dili
gence in protecting it. This was soon
after Mr. Jackson went to Mr. Kemp’s
to board : last Sunday two weeks ago
Mr. and Mrs. Kemnand Mr. Jackson
went to church. From church Mr.
Jackson went home with some neigb
b >rs to dine, while Mr. and Mrs.
Kemp, accompanied by several of
their friends, returned to their home.
Late in the evening Mr. Jackson re
turned to Mr. Kemp’s where the
neighbors who had dined with him
were still congregated. After pass
ing a few words with the party Mr.
Jackson passed on to his room, but
instantly discovered that his trunk
had been broken open, the top hav
ing been prized off. An examination
resulted in discovering that tbe entire
sum of money. $1,969 was missing.
As Mr. Jackson bad told no one but
Mr. and Mr. Kemp of the presence
of the money, he at once suspected
them and caused the arrest of Mr.
Kemp, charging him with the offence.
Buch was ihe reputation of Mr. Kemp
that in a short time he was able to
give the required bond. A few days
after his arrest, a son of Mr.
Kemp who had been married but a
short time, started for Ban Francis
co, California. His departure at this
particular time aroused the thinking
powers of deputy sheriff Ketchum,
of Cherokee county. Procuring a
trusty colored man. Mr. Ketchum
gave him a fine gold watch and sent
him to Chattanooga, where young
Kemp was stopping a few days. In
compliance with Mr. Ketchum’s in
structions the colored man sought
Kemp in Chattanooga and to him
sold the watch for twenty-five dol
lars. The money paid by young
Kemp was gold, and this fact tended
to confirm suspicion in tbe mind of
Mr. Ketchum, who was in Chatta
nooga at the time. Thinking young
Kemp had some cognizance of the
robbery, Mr. Ketchum at once arres
ted him, but a search failed to reveal
any more of the missing money.
However, in possession of bis wife
were found two tickets to San Fran
cisco and five hundred dollars in
gold. This money was identified as
the money of Mr. Jackson, and when
asked how he became possessed ot
it be said that his fa
ther gave it to him. Mr.
Ketchum at once arrested
young Kemp and his wife, and re
turned with them to Canton. Soon
alter reaching Canton young Kemp
—promises of freedom having been
made by tbe sheriff- told tbe sheriff
that he knew where tbe rest ot the
money was secreted—that his father
bad robbed the trunk—and agreed to
pilot him to the place. The sheriff,
accompanied by Kemp, was soon
diligently searching a rock-pile near
old man Kemp’s house. The search
resulted in finding $1,500 in gold and
a pistol upon which was engrav
ed the name of Starling Kemp. The
boy again told the sheriff that bis
father and mother had robbed the
trunk and placed the money in the
rock pile, and that they had given
him SSOO with which to go to Califor
nia. As soon as these tacts became
known Mr. Kemp’s bondsmen at
once surrendered him to the sheriff,
by whom be was place in jail.”
“What became of the old lady, tbe
young naan and his wile ?” asked the
reporter.
“Well, I reatty.don’t know, but my
impression is’that tbe entire quar
tette is in jail a6 Canton, where they
will remain until the trial comes off.'’

abundance, and are sold at good prices.
COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 27, 1881.
NINE WIVES.
The Terribls Gen. Morten and His Curi
ous Ways.
New York Special.
A man known in New Haven as
Gen. A. B. Morten has lived there
about three years past. His fami.
iy consisted, besides himself, of his
wife and a daughter. They led a
rather secluded life, and the man
was frequently absent for a consid
erable period from his home. He
remained away two or three months
at a time, returning each time with
plenty of money, with which he set
tled tbe family bills. No one in
that city ever obtained a clew to his
ocupatton. A photograph of the
man shows him to be line-looking,
with grey hair and a heavy grey
mustache. A disscription in the
hands of detectives says he is fifty
five years old, is five feet nine inches
tall, weighs about one hundred and
forty-flvo pounds, lias a fevrid and
rather rough complexion, and is
mentally accomplished and pos
sessed of rare conversational pow
ers.
Aided by the above description,
Detective Robert Pinkerton has for
ten days been looking for Gen. Mor
ten. He was requested to make the
search by ex-Judge Shipman, of this
city, in the interest of clients who
are friends and relatives of a young
woman named Turnip, of Rich
mond.
lu May last Miss Turnip read in
the Churchman an advertisement
for a governess. The advertiser de
scribed himself as a wealthy wido
wer, who wished a suitable lady to
take charge of bis young daughter.
He gave his residence as Hartford,
Conn. Miss Turnip eusweted the
advertisement, and received a re
ply signed “Thomas A. Marvin,”
asking to see her and for her terms
and references.
In due time Mr. Marvin appeared
in Richmond, made a favorable im
pression, and negotiated for Miss
Turnip’s service. He was, as he said
at the time, suddenly called away
on business, but betore going be
promised to return for her. He rep
resented himself as very wealthy,
and as having recently come from
the West.
About the middle of July he re
turned to Richmond for the gover
ness. When Mr. Marvin arrived in
Richmond the second time he told
tbe young woman he loved her, atjd
said he was loath to place one he
loved so much in the embarrassing,
and possibly questioning, position
of governess. Bhe accepted him,
and they were married on July 20.
Before leaving upon their bridal
trip, Marvin, upon the identifica
tion of friends of bis bride, cashed
at the First National Bank of Rich
mond a draft for $765, purporting to
have been drawn by the First Na
tional Bank of Madison Wis., on the
First National Bank of Chicago, and
payable to Baird & Bradley, who
had indorsed it over to Trios. A.
Marvin. Os the proceeds of the
draft he took $250 in cash, and the
balance in two drafts on the Mer
chants’ National Bank of New York.
He also borrowed SIOO of a brother
in-law of his bride, took her to Alba
ny, where he got the Richmond drafts
cashed at the Albany branch of the
Wall street brokerage-house of
Spencer, Trask & Co., The drafts
had been indorsed over to A. B.
Morten, and Marvin was identified
as that person by some respectable
Albany gentlemen, who say they
have known him for years.
From Albany the bridal couple
went to Rochester and then to Al
bion. While in the latter place Mar
vin showed his wife a dispatch in a
Rochester paper, dated from Rich-,
mood, and describing an accident to
her mother by being thrown from a
carriage. He said he was unable to
accompany her home, owing to a
pressing business engagement, but
he started her home byway of Har
risburg. At that point she was met
by her friends, who had discovered
that the draft cashed in Richmond
was a fogery, and who, in connec
tion with tbe bank officials, had put
detectives on his track.
The detectives lost track of Mar
vin at Rochester after he had part
ed with his bride, but afterward
learned that he went over into Can
ada. At Toronto presented and re
ceived the cash on another draft,
purporting to have been drawn to
his order by the First National
Bank ot Madison, Wisconson, on the
First National Bank of Chicago, Ill
inois. This draft turned up in the
Chicago agency of the Merchants’
Bank of Canada a few days ago,
where it bad been sent by the Tor
onto Bank for collection. The bank
turned tbe case over to the Chicago
agency of tbe Pinkertons, and their
detectives were then given a fresh
clew as to Marvin’s whereabouts.
Miss Turnip had returned to Rich
mond. Among others who had no
ticed the advertisement in the
Churchman for a governess was Mrs.
Nellie DeHart, a young widow, liv
ing with her father, a Presbyterian
minister at Bricksburg, N. J. In
answer to her applications for em
ployment as governess, she received
a letter from Albert Marvin, asking
for personal interview. It was grant
ed. He made several visits, and rep
resented himself as connected with
the American Legation at Paris, and
possessed of great wealth. He pro
fessed great admiration for Mrs. De-
Hart, and finally proposed mar
riage. Bhe declined the offer, but
finally accepted, at the instance of
her father, it is said. Tbe marriage
took place on July 9, the bride’s
father officiating.
Before leaving Bricksburg, Mar
vin tried to get a draft of SSOO cash
ed, but there was not that amount
of money in the place. His father
in-law therefore borrowed SIOO for
him. and begave his bride a nets
for that amount. The bridal couple
started for Washington. They took
the next train for New York, but on
the way he transferred tbe first bride
to a train for Albana Park, where
he promised to meet her at the
Grand Avenue hotel after attending
to some business in New York. She
has not seen him since.
Since the publication of the stories
of the two deceived women, informa
tion relating to Marvin has poured
in upon their friends and tbe detec
tives. Provided with a good de
scription of Marvin, and with two
good photographs, all ot these sto
ries have been carefully followed up.
Detective Pinkertion said yesterday
that he had proof that tbe man had
been married at least nine times,
and in each Instance had obtained
money under talas pretenses, and,
with the exception ot the wife In
New Haven, never remained with a
biideover a week or ten days.
About a week ago, under the name
of Daniel Lindsey, he married two
girls in this city, who refrained from
publicly exposing him for their own
sakes. He sent one of them to Chi
cago and one to Washington, after
obtaining about SSOO apiece from
them. He married two women near
Philadelphia, and one in Painesville,
0., tbe detective says, besides hav
ing* wife In Jersey City. He is wanted
at Eufaula, Ala , it is alleged, for is
suing forged drfts. Three years
ago last spring, tbe detective says,
he cheated a member of the Missouri
Legislature out of $3,000 by getting
him to cash forged drafts on the Na
tional Bank of Owensboro, Kv., He
then went by the name of Morten.
Two years afterward he was arrested
for this in St. Louis. He was held
in SIO,OOO bail for trial. A pait of
the bail was furnished by a promi
nent lawyer of this city. He jumped
his bail, the detective says, and bis
legal friend of this city lias been on
the lookout for him since.
On Wednesday Detective Pinker
ton was informed that, there was a
man registered at the Sagamore
House, Lynn, Mass., under the name
of Benjamine F. Adams, who might
be the man he wanted. He tele
graphed Mr. A. B. Brownell, the
husband of Miss Turnip’s sister, to
go to Lynn. Mr. Brownell reached
Lynn at 6a. m. yesterday, and at 9
o’clock he telegraphed that he had
identified the man and caused his
arrest. The Governor of Virginia
made out a requistion for Marvin, or
Morten, to-day, ns eoon as informed
of the arrest, and Detective Pinker
ton left for Boston last night to ob
tain the signature of Gov. Long and
take the prisoner to Richmond to
answer charges of bigamy, forgery
and obtaining money under false
pretenses.

Success in Life.
Wcwish to give a little advice to
young men about to come from under
the parental wing, assume the toga
ot manhood, and start on the voyage
ot lite on their own account. Every
young man wishes to succeed, to es
tablished for himself an honorable
position in the community where he
lives, and provide something for him
self and family against old age and
other incidents of lite. Commercial
statistics show that 95 out ot 100 men,
who embark in business fail, while
only five succeed. That ratio can be
reserved by the observance of a few
simple rules, 92 out of 160 men suc
ceed. To commence, never taste in
toxicating liquors. They do no pos
sible good and are a most prolific
source of evil. Many a man spends a
fortune in 10 or 20 years by taking a
fewMrinks everyday. Avoid tobacco.
That does no good, and by exhaust
ing the.saliva injures the gastric juice
ot the stomach, interferes with diges
tion, and produces dyspepsia and
other ailments of the body. Be in
dustrious. IBeek and follow some
honorable employment, and when
you have work to do do it well. At
tend to all the details and see that
everything is well and thoroughly
done. Do not procrastinate, but be
prompt. You will soon get up the
reputation of being a man who will
work, and neglects no part of his bus
iness, andrlt will be no trouble to get
employment. Be honest. Never de
fraud or cheat anyone out of a single
cent in a trade or in any other way.
Be truthful. Always tell the truth
about any and all things. Never
misrepresent anything and you will
soon be considered by everybody
who knows you as a thoroughly re
liable man. Be prompt to your en
gagemerits. Never make a promise
unless you are able to perform it,
and perform it at the right time. Be
economical. Cut down your expen
ses to the lowest notch consistent
with a decent appearance, and save
your suplus money, It Is easyjto save
something out of a small salary. It
is easy to spend all of a large salary.
Save all you can and invest it in some
good paying kind of property, land
or stock ot some kind. Money mul
tiplies very rapidly by the simple
process of adding interest to princi
pal. Avoid evil companions, both
male and female. A man is judged
by tbe company he keeps. Keepgood
company or none at all. Avoid gamb
ling and all kindred pursuits. Avoid
all species of ;immorality. Subdue
tbe passions, and let virtue, reason
and good judgment be your guides.
The gratification of passions and ap
petites costs a great deal of money,
wastes your time, and destroys tbe
vitality and energies ot the body and
mind. Preserve a pure mind and a
pure heart in a pure body. .Attend to
the cultivation of your mind. In your
leisurAime read good papers and
goo<aßß&iH. These are wellsprings,
of emKvment which never go dry. <Be
kindlßßypolite. It costs nothing,
and iiflSlb, those who you come in
contact with feel pleasant. Be kind
in the domestic relation of life, Re
member that life is short and the
dearest ties on earth must necessari
ly be sundered. Do nothing for which
your conscience would reproach you,
after those who are near and dear to
you are laid away in the grave. And
last though not least, we would ad
vise all young men to join the church
and lead consistent Christian lives.
It will be best for you in this lifeand
in the life to come. How sweet it is
t,o look back upon your past life and
know that you have performed your
duty fully and well and hanorably I
How consoling it is when one lies on
his death-bed to look back over awell
spent life, a life spent in honor, good
deels, virtuous endeavor tor tbe good
of man and the glory of God. Any
young man who will follow these few
simple rules, will speedily find his
reward, and we sincerely believe will
be successful in life, both in a pecu
niary and moral view, unless some
unusual untoward circumstances
should prevent. Habit is second na
ture. It is hard to shake off bad hab
its and for the very same reeson, it
is easy to follow good habits when
you accnstom yourselves to them.
Sir James Paget, President British Med
ical Association, says that 70,000 deaths
■re annually caused by nervous diseases
in England, and that there is no more
powerful and effectual nervous tonic than
the Liebig Co’s Coca Beef Tonic, is evi
denced by the emphatic testimony of the
most eminent physicians. Caution.—Be
ware of cheap, worthless imitations under
ours and similar names. Ask for Liebig
Go’s Coca Beef Tonic. Recollect that for
malaria, debility, sick headache, dyspep
sia, monthly suffering and biliousness it
is Incomparable.

Two belles bad a fight on the varan

prosecuted ; but he said they need not
go to that trouble, for he fully rea
lized his despicable character, and
would punish himself with death on
the following day. Next morning he
shouldered his gun and a rope and
started for tbe woods, telling! his
family that when they heard a shot
they might know that he was hang
ing himself, and could get his body.
They did not believe him; yet they
went in search of him on bearing the
promised sign, and found him dead.
“PUFFING” CANDIDATES.
I Tuiuloot* Gazette.
The Press Association of Mhsissip
! pl, a laud prolific in the production
of office seekers, passed a resolu
tion pledging its members not to au
-1 nounce a candidate for any office for
I less than sls. We admire indepen
dence. In portions of Alabama, we
believe some editors are anxious to
announce for nothing—and throw in
from five to seventy-five dollars’
worth of chromos—in shape ot rdi
toral “white-wash.” We hope our
next press association will make
something like a manly deliverance
on this and kindred matters of in
terest. It is getting fashionable to
get all the district tickets printed at
Montgomery; and we are coming to
the conclusion that candidates may
have their announcements and their
puffing done there too. When a
congressman is so ineffably stingy as
to expect the local press to ride him
through a three or six months cam
paign without so much as sending a
copy of paper outside of his town, to
a poor aunt, cousin, or uncle, be is
hardly yet tit to represent any body
anywhere. He had as well except
the merchants over tbe district or the
country to furnish him clean shirts
and socks for nothing, and the news
paper to wash and scrub bis charac
ter and brush bis hair once a week
without semblance of money, or
even thanks.
THE FLIp'fLIPPEB.
THE ONLY COLORED OFFICER IN THE
ARMY ACCUSED OF ROBtSKKY.
Special to th! Courier-Journal,
Washington, Aug. 24.—Official in
formation lias been received at tbe
headquarters of the army in this ci
ty, that Second Lieutenant Henry O.
Flipper, of the Tenth Cavalry, has
been arrested on charge ot embaz
zling Government funds. The amount
so far ascertained is $2,300. It is
said the amount is much larger, how
ever, as will be proved on further in
vestigation. Flipper is the only ne
gro whoever graduated from West
Point; he was born in Georgia and
was appointed to the military acade
my from that State on July 1, 1873.
he was assigned to the Tenth Caval
ry on July 15, 1877. Flipper has re
cently been acting as Commissary of
his regiment. He will be tried by
court-martial.
What Arthur's friends say of his Inten
tions.
New York, Aug. 25.—From the
Tribune: Whatever conclusion the
Cabinet may have reached, the coun
selors ot tbe Vice President have
urged that the Cabinet can’t take
upon itself to decide when tbe ina
bility ot the President exists, and it is
known that Gen. Arthur will not
heed any call or suggestion ot tbe
Cabinet as to hie acting in place of
the President. It is sale to say also,
that while Vice President Arthur
will not disregard any request of the
Cabinet, or of Blaine, as its bead, to
come to Washington, be is averse to
so doing, while tne President lives.
The precedents in a like case show
that there is uo absolute need that
tbe Vice President, should qualify
immediately on the death of tbe
President, and Geu. Arthur believes
that there is nothing pressing in na
tional affairs to warrant haste on his
part in tlie event ot the death of
President. Garfield. A personal frl'-ud
says if an opportunity is given Vice
President Arthur, through the threa
tened calamity to the country, he
will prove as much of a statesman as
he is now regarded a politician.
It is denied that the personal rela
tions of Vice President Arthur with
President Garfield are even unpleas
ant, much less hostile. After the
resignation ot Conkling and Platt,
and when it was decided that there
was no way open for a compromise
or reconciliation. Gen. Arthur plain
ly told the President that he felt
bound in honor to sustain his
friends, and added; "1 trust,
Mr. President, you will not
think there is anything per
sonal to you in my action.” The
President, in bis usual hearty way,
took hold of Gen. Arthur by the
shoulder and raid: “Personal, my
dear fellow, nothing of the sort, I
know you have no such petty feeling
at all.”
The Cigarette Vics Needs Attention.
That something ought to ba done
todimish the consumption of cigar
rettes seems clear. Considerations
for public health are sufficient to
warrant government action. It is a
notorious fact, well known to all
dealers in tobacco, as well as to many
medical men, that, with few excep
tions, the cigarettes sold are, both in
tbe wrapper and in the filling, made
of deleterious substances. It is be
cause they are so made that they can
be sold so cheap. Thus tens of thous
ands who would be unable to pur
chase cigars use cigarettes because
they cost so lltt le. It cigarettes were
made of unpoisoned paper, and the
filling was of tobacco, it would be
impossible to make them tor the
price at which they are now sold. If
Congress has tbe right to prevent t he
adulteration of food and drink and of
drugs, it has an equal right to check
the sale of these fraudulent things
called cigarettes, which are notat all
what they pretend to be.
Rev , Washington, D.C„ writes: “I
believe it to bs all wrong and even wicked
for clergymen or other public men to be
led into giving testimonials toquaak doc
tors or vile stuffs called medicines, but
when a realty meritorious article made of
valuable remedies known to all, that all
physicians use and trust lu dally,washould
freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully
and heartily commend Hop Bitters for the
good they have done tne and my friends,
firmly believing they have no equal for
famllv use. I will not be without them.”—
