SOUTHERY SOCIETY ROMANCE Btory of Autebellum Days Recalled by a Recent Event, POSSIBLE REUNION OF A SEVERED COUPLE Thelr First Marriage and Elopement W Preceded and Followed by & Series of Bloody Encounters. A recent dispatch from New York an- nouncing the formation of a syndicate for the purchase of a large tract of land in Bolivia now owned by Baron Henri Arnous de Rivie recalls to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat one of the most romantic episodes of southern society life which oceurred prior to the war, and rehabilitates a_figure that had long #ince passed from the wvvnnfu-nun of all except a few of Mobile and New Orleans antebellum beaux. Tt was in 1856 that Henri Avnous de la Rivicre, captain of zonaves of the corps d'Afrigue, French avmy, first made his appearance in this country. e came to L‘olvne loaded with letters of introduc- tion to the heads of French and ereole familics, and being fresh from the thea- ter of war in the Crimea and Afvica, young and siagularly handsome, being the reputed heir of the barony of de Riviere and immense wealth, he was re- ceived everywhere with open arms. De Riviere was at that time a man of 27 or 28 years of age, possessing a handsome face bronzed by exposare, a tall muscu- lar frame, a military carviage, with a lithe swing whicn suggested the zouave dare-devil; he was a superb horseman in fact, a man to capture the hearts of a people like the southerners of those days and to play havoce with the women. e was not in Mobile long before he found an introduction into the family of Frederick Blount—a lawyer of high standing and some wealth—which con- sisted at that time of Mrs. Blount, a well- preser some woman of !(L and her daughter, a young girl of 15, just budding into womanhood, but whose beauty, amiability and accom- plishments had alveady made her much sought after by the young men of Mo- bile, Among the suitors of Miss Blount at that time, and one whoit was thought would be successful in his suit, was Cap- tain (afterwards colonel) Harry Maury, a Virginian and a cousin of Commander Maury of the United States navy, and of General Dadney Maury. Captain Maury was quite us handsome and dash- ing a man as De Riviere, but though he bad gained military fame as a_soldier with Lopez in Cuba and Walker in Nica- ragua he was for the time quite eclipsed by the gallant zouave in the good graces of Miss Blount and her mother, and as a consequence felt sore toward De Riviere. Challenge and Duel. Two or three little episodes occurred between the men, but Maury's determi- nation to draw De Riviere into a quar- rel, which meant a duel in those days, were for a time frustrated by the cool- ness of De Riviere and the influence brought to bear upon him by Miss Blount. One night, however, Maury and De Riviere met in a public coffeé house in Mobile, and Mauury took the occasion to fasten upon De Riviere an insult whicn breoked no delay in the latter's sending him a challenge. Matters were quickly arranged, a cotton merchant of Mobile, Ned McDenald by nan acting as Maury’s friend and the French consul act- ing for De Rivi The terms of the fight were: s navy pistols, twelve paces, to fire at the word, and if neither 18 wounded to advance and fire till tne shall fall”—a “‘bu: ss affair” from the start and rendered more serious by the fact that both men were known to be excellent pistol shots, Maury's skill being well known and thatof De Rivie depending upon the report of thos whom he was intimate, who declar that he could cut a tape line at twelve paces every time. The fight occurred at the Mississippi state line, some miles west of Mobile, and the party, coming and going, had to pass in front of Blount's residence, on the Spring Hill road, now Spring Hill avenue. On arriving at the grounds no time was lost in preliminaries. The men were placed, and ¢n toss for the word it was won by McDonald. At the word ‘‘one,” after fire, both pistols cracked. Maury stocd perfectly still, cocked pistol in hand, but De R > lurched heavily forward and fell about midway of the fighting distance, and theve from the ground fired at Maury. The latter, still unscuthed, again fired and put a ball into De Riviere's head, which ended the fight. On examination by the surgeons, Maury’s ball was found t0 have entered the left jaw and im- bedded itself in the hard palate, whence it was subscquently cut. The first shot, that which caused him to fall, had struck a coin in a pocket directly over the heart, and hud knocked him down by sheer concussion, It was reported, and for a long time currently bel RiShile wnd New Orleans, that De Riviers wore a shirt of mail under his othey clothing, but this is not true. The writer has been assured both by the surgeons and by Colonel Maury that De Riviere acted most honorably throughout the af- fair. It would, however, be hard to con- vince most old Mobilians of the fact. De Riviere was removed to town. but when the cavalcade reached the front of the Blount mansion it was halted by orders of Mrs. Blount, and De Riviero was taken into the house to bo nursed back to health by the fair madame and Miss Blount, Elopement of the Lovers. Someo wecks passed and Captain Riviere was roported as convalescing finely, when one morning all Mobile was thrown into the wildest excitement by the report that De Riviere, Mrs, Blount and Miss Blount were missing. Blount was beside himself, and as soon as he learned the facts, which were that the party had taken carvinges and gone overland 10 a point on Mississippi sound where they intercepted a sound stoame from Mobile to New Ovleans, he went to New Orleans in search of the elopers, but arvived there just in time to learn that they had departed for Havana in an outgoing steamer. Blount followed and wrrived ljuuv. in time to pr the wed- ding of De Riviere and Miss Emily, but in some way they managed to elude him and loft for New York. Again he fol- lowed, and in New York, finding that the infatuation of his wife for Riviere frus- trated all his attempts to get possession of his daughter, L resorted to the courts, where, after a long legal fight, he finally succeeded and returned to Mobile with his family. Riviere returned to France shertly afterwards and the Blounts lived down the scandal. Years passed by and finally the war came, One day, along in 1862 or 1863, a lotter came from France ad- dressed to Colonel Blount, It contained & statement from De Riviere that he was willing and anxious to repair all the in- flr) he had done; that he still loved iss Blount, and that, his father having died,his mother and sisters would gladly receive her into the family as his wife, and winding up with the proposition that Mr. Blount, his wife and dasughter should run the blockade and come to France, where the past should all be rectified, It is said that the letter con- tained exchange for a large sum (50,000 ' francs), to d-flrly the expenses of the | trip. Colonel Blount at onee settled up his affairs and. with his family, went aboard a blockade runner and in due time landed in Havana, where they embarked on a Spanish steamer for Gibraltar. There they were met by the mother and sister of De Riviere, and subsequently the nuptiais of the count de Riviere (for such he is) and Miss Blount were celebrated in Paris with great eclat, Back to the 014 Home, From time to time during several years there came back to Mobile ru- mors of unhappiness in the Riviere household. Children had been born to the couple thus romantically married, and Mr. and Mrs. Blount had gone the way of all flesh. One day, some ten years ago, the quiet neighborhood in which the Blounts had formerly lived was surprised to see the old mansion once more inhabited, and the few sur- viving old friends were delighted to re- ceive visits from Mme. de la Riviere, r turned alone to her old home to live out the balance of her days. What her source of grievance against her hus- band, what the indignity that caused her toabandon the life of luxury in Paris, her home and children, n not be told here, but she deemed it suficient. So she took up her abode in her childhood's home, and has lived there quietly and unostentatiously, a most exemplarvy life, for several years, beloved and esteemed by all who ‘came in contact with her. | From time to time she was visited by her son, & stalwe young man, much like his father at his age. and her daughters, beautiful and talented young ladies, but all of whom clung to the fatheor, A few months ago Baron de la Riviere himself arrvived, and now again it looks as though the sunset of Emily Blount's life might be gilded by wealth and happiness, The career of Baron de la Riviere has in the meantime of itsclf been a romance that other pens can write. He has made and lost vast fortunes in South American ventures and is again, if we may believe the direct renorts of those who know, on the point of realizing millions. He cently sold a picee of mining property in h'l-u)!h America for a very lurge sum in cash. To finish this sketch without some ref- erence to the subsequent careers of the other men engaged in the De Riviere Maury affair would be to leave out the most romantic portion of it. On the day of the duel words passed between Maury and his second, MeDonald. Ttisbelieved, and probubly on sufficient grounds, that the difference arose concerning a point of etiguette on the ground, but” whether thi s0 or not the men left Mo- | bile the next day, and the day after- wards fought a duel on the old New Or- ns dueling ground, in which both were wounded, one in the arm and the other in the leg., While McDonald was Iaid up with his wound his mistcess, the beautiful but frail Jennie Stuart, left him and went to New York with an- other man. He followed as soon as pos- sible, and, aftersearching for the woman everywhere around the city, found her at Taylor's restaurant, on Broadway, and shot her dead. He was appre- hended and committed suicide in the Tombs, ¥ Captain Maury never married. He served as colonel of cavalry during the war on the confederate side. After the surrender he went into business in Mo- bile, but his health soon failed and he died many years ago. pras dent I GENTLE THEODORE’'S FATE. e Was a Model Convict and Thoughtful to the Last. The gloomy interior of the Tombs would give a country ' sheriff the “ereeps.” Outin the west they have a homelike way of doing business that makes the giving up of one's life 5 pleasure as well as a dutv. The sherif is likely to grow sympathetic. and nis good wife takes upon herself the re- ligious training of the convict, says the New York Time There 1s a story (with no affidavit as to its truthfulness) of one case where a prisoner was made a member of the family. The jail was a rickety old aff and fears were entertained for the health of the prisoner if he should be compelled to occupy it alone. There were no other prisoners and he was taken to board, cecupying a seat at the family table, 5 a mild-mannered lad, and how er worked himself up to kill any- body was more than people could make out, It appeared that he had shota playmate with an old gun, and there was evidence to show that the crime was cold-blooded. The jury felt obliged to convict him, and Theodore—that was his name—was not the boy to question what had been decided on. He seemed to feel that all had veen done for him that was possible, and, besides, he felt that he owed it to the sheriff to hold himself ready for the ordea 1. Theodore was one of the least blood- thirsty boysimaginable. His worst vice was that he was unduly fonad of the game of croquet. He liked this game very much, and played nearly everv eveningr with the wife of the sheriff,” but was always in bed a4 an early hour, so that no anxiety was felt for his safety. So in went on until the fatal day ar- rived for the hanging. The youthful murderer slept well the night before. He was up early, his face and hands as clean as could be, and his hair nicely brushed. Heate a good breakfast and then went out with the sheriff to help him put up the gibbet. This work out of the way they returned to the house to await the arrival of the witnesses, By 10 o'clock the twelve good men and true arvived, and then began the final arvangements., None present had ever taken part in such a strange event, and, after consulting, they decided that it would bo the safest way to go through with a rehearsal. They formed a line in the jail, arranged the knot in the rope and talked over all that was to be said and done, They stood in the col ridor of the juil and talked for a time, all fecling horvibly depressed with the work in hand. At last the fatal hour struck and the sheriff with a sigh picked up the rope Then he looked around, and an expr sion of surprise overspread his face, He turned to the witnesses, looked at his wife inquiringly, and then said: “Why, where is Theodore?” Then everybody in turn asked the same question. They looked around for @ minute in alurm, and the sheriff had a painful expression on his face, as much as to ask his wife: s it possible that we have been de- ceived in this boy At last, howev Theodore came in, and bowed politely toall present. Asked to explain his absence, he suid he hap- pened to think that he had left his cro- Guet mallet out the night before, and he went to ruk uce it besides, he felt that if he stayed he would only be in the way while they were arranging matters, The exeuso was considered satisfactory, and Theodore was once more restored ‘to the confidence of his friends. Everything onee more being regular, and the time having arrived, they took Theodore out and hanged him to the best of their ability. o Found--the reason for the great popularit of Hood's Sarsaparilla—simply lhl}uyllmvd'{ | Cukss, Be sure to get Hood's, Bome of the 0dd Demgnations That Distin- guish the Various Lines, ORIGINATING GENERALLY WITH TRAINMEN Many of Them Have Proved s Good Adver= tisement- reomstances of the Christening—An Interest. ing Collection, A fact not generally known is that the railroads of the country by which the high officials know them, and that railroad employes, those in the ranks, have entirely different synonyms. he information appears that the high officials nickname the road for conven: ience sake, while the trainmen do it to express some phase of personal experi- ence thereon. 1f the latter christening is u good one it gencrally sticks, and as their experience has generally been a vivid onc an original and worthy nick- name generally crops out, says the Chi- cago Herald. To illustrate thi int, the Columbia & Port Deposit railvoad, running from Columbia, Pa., to Port Deposit, Me., can be aptly cited. The railroad men call this road the “One Chane It runs along the river shore almost its entive length, and as erooked as sny in the country. Train dispatchers at Columbia frequently find it difficult to secure seasoned trainimen to work on this road, cn account of num- erous accidents. If not on account of the roadbed, then the cars will be found at fault. For this s0n doubt given it the significant christen- ing, as to go out on the run over the road and come back alive the trainman has taken the advantage of one chance in 100, Newspaper readers will recall the great railroad coup in which Senator Brice was interested some ten years back, by which the New York, Chicago & St. Louis road was built and the New York Central paralleled from New York city to Buffalo. The road was built in a day, comparatively speaking, and the buying of it by William H. Vanderbilt resulted in a great profit for the selling syndicate and the christening of the road. the name of which has stuck to it to this day. Vanderbilt was grumbling at the price he had to pay, and re- marked, “Why, if the infernal road was nickel plated it couldn’t cost more,” and the road has been known as the *Nickel Plate” ever since. Fort Wayne's The reporter of the Washington Star recently accosted a prominent railroad official in this city as to how many rail- road nicknames there were. He replied: “Just as many as you have a mind to make. I have heard the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago roud called Paddy Finnigan’s Wite aad Children,” but where the name came from is more than L can tell. Here ave a few of the roads with nicknames that 1 can now recall without referring tobooks: The Minne apolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Mai is called the 'Soo’ and is an abbreviation of the pronunciation of the last name. The ‘Big Four'is taken from the con- solidation of four big roads—the Cin- cinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis, & Ch cago, the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincin- nati & Indianapolis, the Indianapolis & St. Louis, and the Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago. This consolidation took j many years ago; the nickname ws given and it has stuck to it ever since. Many railroaders claim that the words ‘Big Four’ are taken from the four bi cities touched by the road, viz., Cincin: nati, Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapo- lis, but I think the right origin is the ¢ne I have given. “The Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road is called the ‘Maple Leaf.” By drawing a line around tne cities after which this road is named on a map it will be found to form a perfect leaf of the maple tree. The Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati & St. Louis road is called the ‘Panhandle’ for the rame reason, a line drawn through these citics making a good counterfeit of the panhandle. The ‘Clover Leaf is given to the Toledo, St Louis & Kan=as City road for the same cause. inasmuch it deesn’t come near resembling a clover leal under the same circumstances. Possible the road gets its nom de plume on account of the ceedingly fine grass-land through wh it The euphonious ‘Queen ‘reseent,’ s given Cincinnati, New Orleans & Te; cific rond. The nickname w_Orleans, the ¢ 3 Cincinnati, the queen city, An old railvoader who worked on that road somo years ago told me that the best part of it was the name. He said the trainmen called it the ‘Chills and Fever’ road, as it took the best part of their salaries to buy quinine with which to keep off this demoralizing but fashiona- ble malady. It certainly vuns through a bad country for people whose livers are likely to be troublesome. voulinr Name. *h name, to the Pa- mes from nt city, and Staud and Deliver Line, “The Louisville, New Albany & Chi cago road is called the ‘Monon’ from the fact that the main junction on the road is 50 called. The unique name ‘Nypano' is given Lo the w York, Pennsylvania & Ohio road, and is simply an abbrevia- tion and consolidation of the first let- ters of each state. The St. Louis, kancas & Texas road is 2alled the ‘Cot- ton Belt’ and, of course, derives its name from the great product of that region, Among the trainmen it is nicknamed the ‘Stand and Deliver' line, no doubt from the fact that of late ycars many daring train robberies have occurrved on this line., It runs through a country sparsely settled, which affords the high- waymen very opportunity to escape after th assault upon “the train, ‘Blue Grass,’a pretty name tora rail- road, is ziven to the Kentu Central on account of the exceptionally rich grass country through which it jas Tom Scott’s great road, the South- ern Pacific, is called *The Sunset.'

Two humorous nicknames arve the ones given to the Buffalo & Southwestern and the Buffalo & Jamestown railroads. The former was first called the 'B. & 8.

He il|[(rl'||\elflhl'4‘||Lfim‘l'l' of the fact and both began speculating what it meant. The train was running at a high rate of speed, but the headlight in the rear was gaining steadily on them. As there were no lights in the rear of the headlight they concluded it must bo an empty engine. That road twists in and out among the moun- tains and skirts the Dbanks of the Susquehanna In such a way as to permit any one looking back to ob- serve what is going on in_the rear for a considerable distance. The conductor ordered the engineer to puton more steam and the latter pulled the throttle wide open. Then (llllu\\'o(l a wild, weird chase through the night. Pursuer and pursued tore along at the highestspeed. Everybody on the cars believed that the engineer of the pursuing engine was either drunk or crazy. At last a bright idea struck the enginecr. Ho recalled the fact thata lccomotive can make little proguess on greasy rails, The contents of two huge cans of lard il were poured on the track from the rear of the last passenger coach. The idea was a great one and proved highly successful. Soon the headlight of the pursuing engine grew dim in the distance. When it was safc to do so the train was stopped and backed up to solve the mystery. A very funny eight was revealed. *'One of the finest engines on the road, called the Davy Crockett—they gave lo- comotives names in those days instead of numbers—had_broken away from a hos- tler up at Williamsport "and started down tho track on a voyage of destruc- tion. "The oil poured on the track had baffled ail the destructive abilitios that leeomotive possessed. There stood the 1 Crockett, pufting and snorting and pawing like a wild Texas steer, the driv- ing whe buzzing around on tl greased track likea fly wheel in o ma- chine shop, but not moving an inch. Not a sign of an engineer was found and the fireman of the pursued train mounted the engine and shut her off. They towed her into Sunbury and there found a di patch ordering them cn to a side track out of the way of the runaway, but the oil had saved them. A large excursion train was returning from Niagara Falls that night and the escape from destrug tion was really brought about by th oiled rails.
