THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES. VOL. 6.—NO. 10. A YOUNG MAN’S LUCK. ] WINDFALL OF SIXTY THOUSAND MARKS. 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. : . - i AKMED SOCIALISTS. Nearly Seven Hundred In Number. Chicago, Jan. s.—lt is understood that the fact has been clearly disclosed that a number of armed companies of Socialists are regularly drilling in this city, and that they number about seven hundred men. ' They are equipped with breech-loading rifles and drill according to the Prussian , tactics. A volunteer guard has been placed , in one of the armories of the National | Guard. I — i Savannah Times Publishing Company. At at a meeting of the Directors of the Savannah Daily Times Publishing Com pany, held this day, Mr. B. H. Richardson was re-elected President and General 1 Business Manager. i 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. Probabilities. Washington, Jan. s.—For the South Atlantic States, warmer, partly cloudy weather and local rains with easterly winds and falling barometer. 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. “ROUGH ON CORNS.” Ask for Wells’ “Rough on Corns.” 15c Quick complete cure.

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- FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. This Morning’s Proceedings. Washington, Jan. s—On the re-assem bling of the Senate after the holiday recess, the credentials of Mr. Justin S. Mor rill re-elected a Senator from the State of Vermont to succeed himself, were presented. The presentation of the usual numbers as petitions against the ratification of the Spanish treaty, was varied by three petitions in its favor; one from the business men of Maine, one from New York, and one from Michigan. The Quakers of Ohio asked to have a clause inserted in the treaty referring disputes be tween the two governments to arbitration. In the House, Mr. Smith, of Pennsylva nia, presented the credentials of W. M. Swope, member-elect from the Nineteentli '. Pennsylvania District, in place of Wm. A. ; Duncan, deceased.

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. St. Paul Day. Hattie C. Cummings, of Dixie, W. T., has addressed the following to the Waitsville Times: “I want a man of the following de scription: Red hair, blue eyes, one that has pride enough to dress good, but not above 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.

THE DISASTERS IN SPAIN. Appeal for Aid for the Sutterers. The following letter has been sent the Times with the request that it be published. It speaks for itself, and we cordially cam mend the movement to which it alludes to the consideration of a generous public: Editor Daily Times: The recent ca lamity in Spain from a succession of earth quake shocks resulting in fearful loss of life and suffering, commands the sympathy of the kind and generous of the world. Knowing the generosity and kindness of the citizens of Savannah, we respectfull request that you aid us in this work by any nouncing that contributions are solicited and will be gratefully received and forward ed by this Consulate to proper destination for the benefit of the unfortunate sufferers.

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. A. Baker.
