A Romantic Story—The Son of a Dislnher- *
ited German Heiress Gets a Fortune 1
by the Death of His Grandfather ,
—The Ups and Downs of Life. (
Philadelphia, Jan. s—The Times pub
lishes an interesting story of a changeful
career as contained in a petition filed in the
Orphans’ Court by Joseph G. McKenna,
counsel for Charles F. Herbert, for the al- ,
lowance of a commission to Germany to ■
take testimony respecting the birth and
marriage of Aoalina Herbert, the mother of
the petitioner and the daughter of Baron
Von Bunsen, of Oberwessel, near Coblentz,
Germany. The petition sets out that Mrs.
Herbert died November 15, 1882, leaving
an estate valued at 51,100 that is still to be
settled up. Mrs. Herbert was, in 1859, liv
ing at her father’s “schloss” or castle near
Oberwessel. She was then about 18, blue
eyed, fair-haired, bright-minded and highly
educated. Her father kept her almost in
seclusion, she having been betrothed, when
a child, to the son of a wealthy German
land owner of rank. Her betrothed was
four years younger than she, slightly lame
and, it was thought, dull witted.
The estate to which he was heir, how
ever, was of great value, and as against that
fact Adelina’s want of love or admiration
for the youth was not thought of much
weight by her father. In the spring of
1859 there was among the crowd of tourists
that yearly floats down the Rhine and
stops at Oberwessel an Atm can artist who
had been studying at Mui ch. He was
Charles Elgar Herbert, th¥ son of a dry
goods merchant, who was a ell known in
this city at that time, but very soon after
wards failed and died insolvent. Herbert
was, it is said, strikingly handsome, intel
lectual and cultured. He met Adelina Von
Bunsen at an entertainment given by a
common friend, to whom he had carried out
letters of introduction.
A mutual attachment sprang up between
the two that soon ripened into love. The
American’s suit was vigorously opposed by
the German nobleman, who, to break the
attachment, determined to send his daugh
ter for a time to the residence of a relative
in a distant part of Prussia. Before he
could carry out his wish, however, the lovers,
who had continued to meet clandestinely,
were privately married. When this fact
came to Baron Von Bunsen’s knowledge he
became furious with anger His wife had
been dead many years, yet he sent his
daughter from his house and refused to rec
ognize her any longer as his child or her
husband as his son-in-law.
The young artist and his bride came to
Philade'phia. The failure and death of
Herbert’s father occurred shortly after their
arrival. The artist’s hopes and plans were
almost destroyed by the double misfortune
He was practically penniless and with little
prospect of earning sufficient to decently
support himself, his wife and the blue-eyed
baby boy with which their life had been
blessed. At this time the civil war broke
out. Herbert, before taking up the study of
art, had a West Point training, but,
owing to his physical inabilty to
endure the trials of a military caree
he resigned before he had been graduated'
Men with any military knowledge at all
were in extraordinary demand at the out
break of the war, and Herbert was given a
Lieutenancy in a Pennsylvania regiment of
volunteers. He was killed at Antietam.
His widow and child were now almost
friendless as well as poor. Mrs. Herbert
eked out an existence for herself and her
little son by giving music lessons.
At the close of the war she obtained a
pension, and her labors were thencefor
ward lightened. She succeeded in giving
her son a good common school education.
He was afterwards employed for a time as a
clerk in the Pennsylvania Rai'road office.
Preferring to learn a business that would
afford him the possibility of a competency
and independence, he took a position as
Philadelphia agent of the bay rum manu
facturing firm of John R. Egmont & Co., of
St. Thomas, West Indies.
Hie mother, during the last five or six
years of her life, resided at the boarding
house of Mrs. Agnes Magee, on Eighth
strees, below Locust. Up to the last she
maintained unbroken silence with respect to
her father and the home of her childhood.
She died without making a will and the lit
tle property that she had gathered together
in the course of years was put into the
hands of Henry R. Peters, an administrator,
to be settled. Aboit six weeks
ago the administrator received
a notice from the Obermeister
of Obewessel informing him that Baron ,
Von Bunsen had died, and that by his will
made seven years ago he left sixty thousand '
marks to Adelina Herbert, formerly Adelina
Von Eunien, “once,” as he said, “my daugh
ter.” The legatee being dead the money ,
goes to her estate, to which under the law
Charles F. Herbert, the present petitioner, i
is the heir. By the proceedings now under
t iken the heir, counsel says, can establish i
his claim with ease, certainty and dispatch. :

WAS ST. JOHN BOUGHT?
Editor McCullagh Defied and Challenged
to Produce His Proofs.
St. Louis, Jan. 5. —J. B. McCullagh,
editor of the Globe-Democrat, in a late
interview alleged that he had proof that
John P. St. John, the late Prohibition can
didate, had sold out to the Democrats Mr.
St. John has published a card, in which
he says, among other things: “I challenged
Mr. McCullagh, in a letter addressed to |
him th, 11th ult., to produce the facts, but j
he not only refused to publish my letter,
but has utterly failed to give a single word
of evidence touching the matter, for the
simple reason that no such evidence ever
existed, and I believe that he knows it, too.
Mr. McCullagh is also reported to have said :
‘Of course, it is not known how much he
was paid, but I know he did not get all he
was promised, because he has been writing
letters about it since.” Now. it seems to
me that the production of these letters
would be more satisfactory to a fair-minded
and intelligent public than Mr. McCullagh’s
mere assertions, which up to present date, to
say the least of it touching this matter, have
not been very consistent. Therefore, in
order to aid the gentleman, I hereby request
all persons having any such letters or any
evidence that any such letters were ever
written, to at once send them to Mr. Mc-
Cullagh for publication.”
Soon after the publication of St. John’s
card Mr. McCullagh was seen. He said:
“We had hoped that St. John would bring
a libel suit against some of the papers which
have denounced him and then proof, which
now cannot be used, would appear. I myself
have no evidence against him, but I know
from men, in whom I have the fullest confi
dence, that St. John was dickering with the
Republicans fir a sale when they carried
Ohio, but they became enthusiastic, fell on
their St. John price, and the Democrats,
raising theirs, got him. Clarkson, of the
Des Moines (Iowa) Register, has all the
documents to prove that St. John sold him- I
self.”
PAYMASTER SMYTH.
Secretary Lincoln Uncertain What to Do. j
Washington; Jan. s.—The officials of
the War Department represent Secretary
Lincoln as being uncertain what action to
take in reference to the case of Paymaster
Smyth. With two court-martials now on
hand, that of General Swaim, and Colonel
Morrow, which is to follow, the Secretary
cannot view with great delight the possi
bility of a third court-martial. For a
year past there has been comparatively few
scandals connected with the army, which
is believed to be largely attributed to the
disclosures regarding the “Army Poker
Club,” an organization of old gray-headed
officers, who systematically fleeced junior
officers and left them in a condition to take
the next downward step of duplicating their
pay accounts. The service has been free for
sometime from the unpleasant associations
connected with the misdeeds of officers, and
regret is expressed that a change should
occur just at the beginning of a new year.
EVANGEIST MOODY
Denies that he Ever Maligned Lee or
Jacksou.
Richmond, Va.. Jan. 5.—D. L. Moody
preached to about 2,000 people at the Ar
mory yesterday. Hundreds of people went
away, not being able to get seats. Moody
emphatically denied having ever said what
has been charged by Mr. Core; and said that
if he had ever said anything derogatory of
either Generals Lee or Jackson, he did not
remember it; and if he did, he
was sorry for it. Mrs. Mary Stuart Smith
wrote the following to the Religous Herald
in 1876 from New York, alluding to an
illustration made by Moody: “He pro
teeded to illustrate, but how ? By an in
opposite and apochryphal incident taken
from our late civil war, in which our saintly
sainted Lee and Jackson stood for the pow
ers of evil, and Grant, even Grant, took
the place of our Divine Master.” Mrs.
Sm th has written another letter to the
Religious Herald, which will be published
to-morrow, in which she declares that Mr.
Moody did not use either the names of Lee,
Jackson or Grant. Moody draws well here.
ASPHYXIATED.
Smothered to Death in a Chimney.
Texarkana, Ark., Jan. 5.—A singular
case of asphyxiation occurred on Saturday
night at Dr. W. H. Hawkins’ residence. A
German servant, named Jacob Bartelle, re
cently discharged, after first attempting to
enter his old sleeping quarters through a
window, and failing, concluded to gain in
gress through the chimney. The chimney
was wider at the top than in the middle, and
the unfortunate man became fastened be
tween the walls. A newly employed servant
shortly entered the apartment and built a
fire, suffocating Bartelle. Observing that
the chimney did not draw, the servant in
vestigated the matter and found the corpse.
CHOKED TO DEATH
From Excessive Use of Whisky.
Cheboygan, Mich , Jan. 5. —Mrs. Wal
loger, aged 45, was found dead yesterday on
the sidewalk at the corner of Nelson and
Main streets. An examination showed that
she was choked to death from the excessive
use of liquor. She had started for home,
but dropped dead in her tracks a short dis
tance from where the liquor had been pro
cured. She leaves a family.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1885.
ATLANTA AFFAIRS.
DOINGS AT THE STATE CAPITAL
Cooked-Over News—An Original Clerical
Wit—The Finest Watch in the South
—A Discriminating Burglar-
Personal and Minor
Mention.
Special Dispatch to Savannah Daily Times
j Atlanta, Jan. 5. —There has been a
I very considerable development in the news
paper world lately, which, if I remember
correctly, has not been referred to in any of
the many very enterprising journals of the
land. We all remember when there was
such a big howl sent over the State several
years ago in reference to whether patent
outside weeklies should be recognized or
not. Now it is a new question. Quite a
number of daily papers are running the
patent dispatch business. A concern in the
West has a lot of dispatches set up with
heads and everything ready for the forms
and press. These dispatches are then
stereotyped and the cuts are sent out by the
yard to any papers that care to buy them.
Thus the express companies carry the news
to many, and it is dished up with fresh
dates and retailed to the readers of the en
terprising papers as real live news. This
matter looks very nice, but it is from two
days to three weeks old when it reaches the
eye of the readers. I notice that these jour
nals are just beginning to hear of the doings
of the Georgia Legislature, which adjourned
s imetime ago, and Saturday an Atlanta
paper published a dispatch from Atlanta
detailing the facts of the suffocation by gas
of a man in Mercer’s Hotel here nearly two
weeks ago, and published in the Daily
Times on the day of its occurrence. There
are several of these patent outside dailies
in the State. This style of feeding the pub-
I lie on cold news may stand for a few weeks,
I but it will have to go to the wall wnen it
j comes in competion with the news of such
papers as the Times which comes over the
wires.
REV. SAM JONES’ WIT.
[ There is a good story told illustrating the
j wit of the Rev. Sam Jones, the revivalist,
j send out by the Methodists of this circuit to
I solicit funds for the support of the Orphans’
Home. Sam Jones’ originality is proverbial.
The other day he was at the cosy home of
I a prominent Atlanta man, who has a good
heart, but who does not make a big display
of his religion. The two were alone, and
after a long silence the divine solicitor
looked up thoughtfully and asked:
“ do you cuss?”
The brother, somewhat embarrassed, re
plied that he did not.
“Do you get drunk?”
The man of the world put his hands to his
face to hide a blush and replied:
“No, I don’t get drunk.”
“Well, I’m sorry for that,” was the reply
of the reverend gentleman as he turned
away.
“What!” exclaimed the other, “you sorry
I that I don’t get drunk and cuss?”
i “Exactly,” replied the unmoved preacher.
“What for?"
“Well, you are going to hell any how,
i and I hate to see a clever fellow like you
cheat yourself out of so much fun, and then
go to hell besides.”
The worldling saw the point.
THE FINEST WATCH IN THE SOUTH.
Julius L. Brown wears the finest watch
in the Southern States, just turned out by
the Atlanta Watch Factory of J. P. Stevens
& Co., of which Mr. Brown is a leading
owner. The actual cost of the watch is put
at 51,200, though I have heard it stated by
a close friend of Mr. Brown, that the watch
really cost 56,000. The case of the watch
is literally a firmament of dishing dia
monds, there being not less than 58 stones
set therein. Around the front lid of the
case is a circle of 16 diamonds each weigh
ing three quarters of a karat. Ou the back
is a monogram “J. L. B.” worked in dia
monds. Mr. Brown lias a great love for ele
gant things. His home is the most magni
ficent in Atlanta and it is filled with rare
works of art, wonderful curiosities and
handsome pieces of bric-a-brac.
A NEW USE FOR BURGLARS.
A few nights ago a debased wretch en
tered the home of a prominent Atlanta man
and stole a new Christmas story that a mem
ber of the family had written, and then with
an amount of cheek worthy of a better
cause, deliberately kindled a fire with the
manuscript. The burglar is in jial, but the
newspaper men are raising a fund to pay
him out. They say he is an invaluable
genius and they can’t afford to let him hide
his light in the coal mines.
NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
Mrs. Governor McDaniel and Miss Gipsey
have returned from Walton county, where
they have been spending the holidays.
There is very little news of an exciting
nature in Atlanta now. The city is passing
through a dead calm.
The Philadelphia drummer who commit
ted suicide at Lawrenceville, on Saturday,
was traveling for Z. DeForrest, Ely & Co.
Atlanta is passing through an orange glut.
The city is literally packed with oranges,
which are rotting very fast in the warm,
damp weather. Thirty thousand oranges
have spoiled here in the last week. The
market is down low, but the dealers say that
they expect a rise in two or three weeks.

THE COMING COTTON CONVENTION.
Foreign Nations to Actively Participate.
Washington, Jan. 5. —The Secretary of
State has been officially notified that Great
Britain, Hawaii, Hayti, Italy, the Nether
lands and Norway and Sweden will parti
cipate in the Universal Cotton Convention
to be held at New Orleans on the 10th of
February, under the auspices of the National
Cotton Planters Association. Under the
head of Great Britain are included all the
colonies, dependencies and possessions. The
• Secretary has also been notified that in ad
dition to the regular delegates appointed
by the National Government there will be
a large attendance of growers, manufac
turers and other persons interested in the
subject.
Mr. Morehead, President of the Associa
tion, had a consultation to-day with Com
missioner Loring, the result of which was
that Dr. Loring is to invite all agricultural
associations in the United States to partici
pate. Arrangements will also be made to
have scientific specialists address the con
vention or furnish papers on various topics
germane to the purpose of the assemblage.
It is expected that the President will ap
point delegates from every State and Terri
tory, and request the Governors to appoint
delegates from each county. The indica
tions all point to a very large and important
meeting on the occasion-

WESTERN PRODUCE.
A WEEK OF GREAT EXCITEMENT
What the Bulls and Bears are Doing-
Considerable Uncertainty on Wheat—
Corn Dull—Provisions Firm With
Upward Tendency.
Special Correspondence Dally Times.
Chcago, Jan. 3. —It has been a week of
excitement and activity in the wheat pit on
’Change with the bulls generally in control
The price opened on the upgrade, influenced
by light receipts, a big flow of outside or
ders and liberal buying by Hammill &
Brien, Lester, Baker and other strong
houses. Predictions were also made that
the warm, wet weather then prevailing,
would be followed by a freeze that would
endanger the winter wheat plant, and as at
best, the decreased acreage is not expected
to produce over a 400,000,000 bushel crop,
any damage to this would be likely to cause
a scramble. Cables too, were higher, and
although a large number of orders for cars
were received from the Northwest, the bulls
argued that receipts could not increase much
in that quarter as there was comparatively
little grain left there to send forward.
At the top of a 2Jc rise,
however, considerable realizing de
veloped and as the shorts seemed
careless about coming, some talk of a soda ;
water bulge was indulged in. But the posi- i
tion of the “visible supply” figures put sellers
in a semi-panic[,and everybody tumbled over
everybody else in endeavors to load up i
quickly. As the grain had come in only
sparingly it was not thought that the amount i
in sight would foot up a very large increase, ,
but that it should show a decrease of nearly
400,000 bushels, something nobody bad
thought of, and values climbed 1} cents
higher. Another rush of country orders
followed, and many of the old bulls who ‘
have been working along on the buying
side for months could not resist taking the
first decent profit which they have seen to
their credit this season. Thus the greater
part of the load was shifted over on to
weaker shoulders, and the former holders '
became bears for a turn in order to freeze
out the buyers and get back their stuff at a
decline. This weakened the deal consider
ably, and although there has been no
material break, quotations have not advanced
even when aided by heavy export purchases,
and the announcement that the semi an
nual report of stocks at Liverpool showed
less than half as much wheat as was there a
year ago. Everybody seems to have faith
in much higher prices later on, but the
general opinion is that now something of a
set back is in order so that strong men may
get a better hold. Perhaps, however, the
very fact that so many are prepared and
waiting for a sag may prevent it, and these
who are now expecting to buy at a decline
may be glad to get in at a much higher
range. The bull movement has received a
check, but it is not unlikely to gather force
without going lower, though the latter days
of the week were so broken up by the holi
day frolic and general evening up by traders
for the new year that it was difficult to tell
what the local temper really was. The un
dertone of the market is certainly strong,
and the feeling, while not buoyant, is far
from being weak.
Corn was held up for a while by the firm
, ness in wheat, but later the colder weather,
increased receipts and larger proportion of
contract grades produced a bearish tone.
, All year contracts were settled without the
i least excitement, and the market was with
s out special feature except the closing cut
' of several big parcels of grain which had
been held in the expectation that Love and
his, clique would give the cash option a
twist at the last. On Wednesday January
touched the lowest price of the year.
. Provisions still rule firm, with an up
ward tendency. A prominent broker said
1 this morning that he expected to see some
further advance, but believed the packers
’ would become active sellers as soon as they
, thought the top had been reached, when a
r break would not be unlikely.
j A Low View of Else.
New York Ledger.
There is a man in Michigan who has au
income of 5200,000 a year who has been
telling somebody what he knows about
happiness. “There are only three real
substantial things that you can get out of
life,” he says, “and the man who has those
at the required intervals is as well off as
the richest. The three realities are a full
stomach, a good suit of clothes and a bed to
sleep in.” According to this gentleman, an
oyster must be as well off as he is. That
delightful bivalve usually has a full stom
ach, a suit of clothes adapted to his resi
dence and a most comfortable bed to sleep
in. The oyster idea of existence, however,
is not attractive to everybody. There are
people who still think that there are reali
ties in life beyond food and clothes and
sleep.
Her Style of Man.

Hattie C. Cummings, of Dixie, W. T., has

scription: Red hair, blue eyes, one that has

his means. He must be tall, or short, thick
or .heavy-set man; small feet; one that
doesn’t wear fine shirts much. He must be
good featured, of light complexion, and one
who is not afraid to cut too much wood for
the cook. I don’t want one that will go to
sleep while at work. Iwantone* at likes to
hoe potatoes, work in the garden and won’t

Knowing the generosity and kindness of
the citizens of Savannah, we respectfull

Choice Real Estate to be Offered at the
Court House.
To m irrow is the regular monthly sales
day at the Court House. From the adver
tisements of C. H. Dorsett, auctioneer
it will be seen that some valuable property
is to be offered. He advertises a very de
sirable home, recently built, on the corner
of Waldburg and Jefferson s'reets. The
home is in a good neighborhood, convenient
ly arranged and neat in appearance. There
are also in the rear of this home three
smaller houses, all under good rent.
A good investment is offered by the same
party in Yamacraw—seven houses renting
for $36 per month. This property is on
Bryan street, near Ann, and is said always
to command good tenants. Investors would
do well to read the advertisement referred
to.
Ferrell’s restaurant to be sold.
When the above well known restaurant
and dining parlor on Broughton street, was
first opened, some months ago, a great pub
lic want was supplied. It completely filled
the need felt, for a first class place in all its
appointments and management, where a
meal or a lunch could be had without going
away from the retail centres. The restau
rant has done a good business, and has
become justly popular with the public,
especially with the ladies. The restaurant
is tastily, even elegantly, furnished, and is
estimated to have cost nearly $3,000 to fit it
up. As it will be sold at the Court House
at auction to-morrow by C. H. Dorsett, it
is hoped that it will fall into hands that
will keep up the reputation it has sustained
up to this time.
The Late Prof. W. S. DeVane.
The Wimington (N. C.,) Star,of Sunday,
contained the following in reference to the
late Prof. W. 8. DeVane, of the Georgia
Military Academy, of this city, whose death
on the Ist inst., has been noticed:
“The rem tins of Mr. W. S. De Vane were
brought to this city yesterday from Savan
nah and interred in the family burying
place at Oakdale Cemetery. He was the
son of the late Col. W. S. DeVane, a promi
nent lawyer of this place. Mr. DeVane left
here in May 1883, and accepted the place
of bookkeeper with Mr. Jesse Wilder,
of Brunswick, Georgia, with whom he staid
till last October and then took a position
in the Georgia Military Academy at Savan
. nah, so that he could hive belter opportuni
ties of pursuing the study of law, which he
had chosen as his profession. In his posi
' tion at Savannah, as well as at Brunswick,
he gave the utmost satisfaction, and showed
himself to be a man of far more than ordin
ary ability. He was taken sick a short
while since with malarial fever and after
lingering two weeks died. William De-
Vane was born at Clinton, February 13th,
1861, but at an early age moved here with
his father and family, where he was reared.
“We knew him when he was a boy, and
the same honorable and straightforward
manner which characterized him when
young clang to him in manhood, and gained
him many friends and admirers. As a friend
I he was devoted and true, and as a fee open
and fearless. Beloved by his friends for his
sterling qualities of heart and mind, he will
leave behind many who will mourn his loss.
We extend to the family our sincere sympa
thy in this sad hour of bereavement.”
A Word From a Journeyman Baker.
Editor Savannah Daily’ Times:—l
wish you to look into the position of Jour
ney Bakers of this city. There is a general
complaint that they are not paid according
to the profits that Boss Bakers earn from
the business. Fleur was never so cheap,
and there has been no change in the weight
of bread in this city for years. Therefore,
I wish you to open this subject on account
of the Journeymen Bakers.
