Jan 24 1883 ^PBWlSIPTlON 11,00 A i'HAIv CoihaiH fiossip. The sensation of the week was unquestionably the suit for $?5,000 rfamapes for breach of promise of rnarriaVe, brought by Miss Mary A. A JJvingston. against Henry Flem ming a young millionaire. The de tails as developed in the course of the trial were prurient in the extreme and ofcoursa the court room in Brooklyn was packed to repletion with curiosity seekers. The trial resuited In a verdict for the iff ior the plaintiff for the fjgT smo: Tint asked for, the heavies# amount ever awarded in a breat#f 0 f promise ease, in the history o&^al practice. Now there is nod,^t that such a verdict f Trit have Lean given er citv in ti e Union save Brooklyn. Tliat city has not its like in the count! v. It has more scandals to the B)Uirs yard than other large cities have to the square mile It corabinesthe peculiar frisl iness of Chicago with the outward demure ness ofa Quaker town. Everybody goes to the church and yet every body looks as if he or her had a his: tory. Outside of that however, Mr, j Flemming’s ease was grossly mis managed. His lawyer Mr: Howe who is very good at saving crimi nals from the gallows, seems to have : been at, sea in this case. He attack ed the girl in the most brutai man- ner. Ho called bar a eyprism and ; , the daughter of a eyprian, On the statement ot a detective w o seems to be a paragon of asi-nity, he is charged with having kept an impro- , per lodging house ten years ago. Now the girl is not yet twenty one ; and the detective simply ascribed to her the doings of .1 woman by the name <f Livingston who for ten years prior to 18T4 was a fashions- ! hie notorious character of metropo- ' lian, shady life. Of coarse the jury had to sympathize and side with ., her. Said a lawyer to me a man who at j one time filled the position of judge! in one of our leading State Courts, 1 an 1 who has gained many laurels by his pleadings at the bar, ‘‘the day of bullying a plaintiff or heaping a vile abuse on him, and treating him or her in such a manner as to arouse all that is manly in bystanders are over. A lawyer who attempts to re hr an-ftte©h a me* hod will nou alone loose pis own cases, but be will make himself liable to prosecution, The spint of the age is in favor of moderathvn,, and it was high time that this sp’rt made itself felt, A n apphal has been taken from the verdicf, and additional evidence against, die character of the woman has it is claimed been discovered. Inuring the trial it was charged that Miss Livingston had been intimate with her mother’s coachman, one Alexander Cornelius, This person lias now come forward and produ" ced the letters alleged to have been i written to him by tin girl. This of j course will open the sluice gates | again. The spectacle is not edify-j ins. And yet strange are the work ings of a woman’s mind, or rather feelings, this g’rl even now wonld marry Fleming Were he willing: I j, am so informed by a person who knows both parties. Apropos of the Milwaukee hotel fire, our Building Inspectors are ac tively engaged in examining every public house of comfort to see wheth er the means of escaping from lire are adequate. Now, according to the statement of one of the inspec tors of the department, every one of the inspectors of the department, ev ery one of the big caravan aries is a death trap in ease of fire, but the system of vigi’aneejinongurated in the leading establishments is ealeu: iated to rednee the danger fiom flames to a minimum, Only about Three weeks ago a fire broke out in one of the most fashionable hotels in upper Fifth A ve>u >. One of the pipes'was overheated which set fire to the flooring and then to the car- oet in one of the rooms, The po:; ters headed by the engineer who had been well d rilled went to work whh an energy which produced the best results. In ten minutes they had ripped the burning floor up and in n hour the flames which might, caused a dreadful loss of life were extinguished. The hotel peo: pie were anxious to keep the matter out of the newspapers,and this state ment here is the first that has np: pe-rei regariing the occurrence. I shall not month n the name of the hotel in question, but it is in Fifth J vet ue not very far from Central Park, Shnefer the billiard st has a re markable dog in his rooms.y' Ha makes it his business to pick up e vs ery ball that isknockak off a ‘table 1 and returning it to the proper ta- ! ble. He will not allow it to be ta ken fr:m hismouth but insists on it on the table himself. He is so expert at catching a small In dia rubber ball, that Shuefer says hi is g iiig to propose him as catch er for the haseba'l nine which 'the bil’iardists of this citv have formed One night some wag^fMled the ball with water and when the poo.t fel low c„ught it between ! is teeth, lie got t! e thin stream into his throat The dog never forgot that. He seems to know by tlse way the ball flic?, whether it contains Water • and will ma' e no effort to jatca it. IGII HORS. Mariet rJournal. Mr. Thomas M. Brumby, ot this place, has one of the ."most intelli gent dogs in this country. Mr, B. has but to speak and. the dog com prehends and obeys, He has been offered $350,00 for the faithful ani mal. 'The negro man, who was found deed at Smyrna several weeks ago in Mr. Norris all but bis feet was never identified and his name and cause of his death, still remain a mystery. Mr. Dave Mobley of Smyrna in this country was trying to drive a nail in the wall of his residence the other day,’’’hen the hammer struck the nail a glancing 1 tek, the nail re bounded across the room and struck his wife in one of her eyes and put it oin. The city council re elected Mr. T, W, Glover, Treasurer, and e’ec- tod \fr. lames A. Winn, Deptuty Marshal. A. resolution was pas ed Requiring Marshal Banks to go on pui.y at 12 o’clock M. in the day time and remain until 12 o’cloctc at night, at'which hour he is relieved by Deputy Winn who serves the balance of the. .night until noon.. A. white'man named Dickson got on the train at Chattanooga and while seated .by the stove he. broke out with what was supposed to ?e ihe small pox. The poor fellow was very sick and he .had a hot fever, A panic among the passengers en sued and the conductor put the pa- tfoiAoff at Ringgold in the hitler coll. When the next train caffm alongt he got on board and the Aon- duct?A put him off atibaiton. *h.e Dalton it s became throughly saffian ed and telegraphed to the TuperSn- tendonl of the w e tern & Atlantic Railroad at Atlanta, that if he did not remove the small pox man put off by the conductor tint the town authorities would put the sick man in the depot soloon and quarantine against all trains. At Big Shanty so we were told the patient was examined and pronounced it a well developed case of measles. Fairburn News Letter About twenty years ago Mr. H. C Porte moved fro South Carolina settled near Pal com pan led by a tie boys, whom the w’ ora he settled thou wife and cb ldren be a man of industry and tnl^W^nd won the good opinion of all his neighbors, and was living happiiy and in peace with all his neighbors and no one suspected but that his relations with the woman whom they supposed to be his wife were in con formity with the laws of the country but to the surprise of every one, a wair nt was sent to Sheriff Thomp son, issued by Governor Stephens, of Georgia, in compliance with a requisition from Gov* Hugh II Tho mpson, of South Carolina charging Porte with kidnapping and obtaining money under false pretences. Sher iff Thompson went down and arres ted him and brought him to Fair- burn and from him was lesunei the story of his crime. If a crime it can be called. He and a man named Smith and the woman with whom he has been living were raised in the same neigh borhood, and when they were young Porte and Snrth were both rivals for her affections, and by some misrep resentations Smith succeeded in al ienating her from Poite and mar ried her. A shart ti ne thereafter Porte healed his wounded affections by marrying another woman, ar.d the two families settled down near each other and lived several years as neighbor.-’. Porte and his wife lived very happily together until the fell destroyer came and left him a wid ower. Smith and his wife did not hvc so happily, frequent disturban ces occurring between tl e i,in which Smith frequently beat her ue mgrei.. fully, The death of his wife caused the old flame for his former sweetheart to burn afresh in Porte's breast,and he sympathized with her in the cru el treatment which she received at the hands of her husband. She knew that he still entertained kindly feel ings towards her and frequently im portuned him to take her away to some strMjge place avowing that she still loved him and expressing pen itence for the way s e had treated him in marrying Smith. He refu sed to be anything more than a sym pathizing friend, on account of the friendly relations that existed be tween him an 1 Smith. Smith had been prosperous in business untiLh-c became dissipated, when he became financially embarrassed and reposed confidence in his friend Porte to as- sist him in saving part of his proper’ ty from his creditors. He had turn ed over some cotton to Porte to sell for him in his own name and turn over the proceeds to him. Porte sold it, and took the proceeds amo unt : ng to I wo hundred dollars over to Smith's house, to deliver t ’em to him. When he arrived Smith was just, leaving the house and on going if, Po te found Mrs. Smith prostrate on the floor, bleeding from the worn Is wh o’,i she had receive 1 from her husband, He h el poet ner up and washed the blood irem her face paid the money over to her for her husband, and started to leave, when she clung to him and begge 1 him to take her with him and flee to a distant country, promising to live with him if he would do so. Bis affection for her and sympa thy for her pitiable condition caused him to yield to her importunity's and, they!immediately arranged no slope together. He'placed his * property i'Tthe hands of an attorheyHnd after settling up his other- mattery,, tftey ieft for Georgia bringing with them iisr two little boys. They settled near Palmetto, as stated above and havo*rinejIMy Trippdy tog • Smith learning tlsftlr whereabouts, caused a requisition to be made for Porte’s arrest en the charge above slated. Col, J. H: Longino went over to south Carolina to try and settle the matter for Porte, and received a proposition from smith that it Porte would return the children and the two hundred dollars which his wife took away and the value of his fur niture which they took with them he would compromise the case as far as he is concerned. At the pres ent writing, Porte has gone to con sult his wife to see if she is willing accept the terms of compromise But when this matter is settled another trouble begins. No?? that their criminal intercourse has been made public the grand jury will be compelled under their oath to pre sent them for living in adultery and they will have to stand their trial for that offence. We trust that they will get out of their troubles lightly as they are good citizens and have gotten into their difficulty more through human frailty than wimina! intent.
