Kemarkable Career of a Man in Georgia's Penitentiary. Henry KohliiRou anil Ilia Checkered Crime for Which He In Looked Up Attempt to ;F.Hcnpo Ills AiiteeedontH nnd Ilcccnt Ntranjje Marriage, i Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9. Henry Robinson, a convict who is under sentence to ten years for burglary, from Troupe county, is in u dying condition in tliu Penitentiary Hospital, Irom a wound received Wednesday night while attempting to escape. Robinson is a professional cracksman mid has led a desperate lifo for years. He is well educated mid a dangerous man. His knowledge of mechanics is faultless, us .he has successfully demonstrated since being assigned to camp. By some means, not yet known to lessees, Robinson secured" nn old case-knife several diivs ago. This hu converted into u perfect saw, and with it hu miuli his escape Wednesday night. That night ho went to bunk with shackles on both legs. On tho bunk next to him was a white man named Wade, who was alnu shackled in the samo manner. Between times ho was assigned to bunk, and at 1 o'clock ho cut his bhacklcs off and also tlioshacklesof Wade. Then with the same knife or saw, lie cut a way through the wall, and whoii the guard's back was turned sprung through tho hole and ran. The guard detected the escape almost before the men wero out, and jumping to the door, aimed at the one in advance, who was Wade, and the gun refused to tire. The second effort was more successful, and the barrel pointed at It went off, emptying tho contents into the convict's back. Simultaneously with tho report Kobinson dropped to the ground, ami when tho guard reached his side it was quite apparent that tho convict was fatally wounded. Ho wus carried into the liospital. Robinson's hutory is interesting. Ho believes lie is going to die, and whenever his nhysicion will permit him to talk ho gives a chapter ol" his career. According to his story ho belongs to an honorable family, but refuses to disgrace it further by giving the name. He was received at" camp on tho Kith of April hist. In February last he cracked a sale in Lu- raiiKO. and this was tho crime for which f, received his sentence. He says that ho is a Kentuckiau bv birtii, and that he is the son of a physician, lie has a brother in the United States Congress, and a brother who is a retired army olHcor, living in Missouri. During the war ho had a brother who bote a commission of u ! onel in tho Uuited States Army and u brother in the Confederate Army. lie ml- mits that he has been a crook all his life, and says thut his father gave him many a ' whipping for bad liabits when a boy. He t profeses an acquaintance with all noted crooks, and tells a long list of safes ho has blown during his career. The final chapter -of his lite is u romantic one. Several months ago he gathered together about $2,000 and went to Florida resolved to do right. At Bluff Springs he met a lady who occupied a line social position. They loved nn I married. After tho wedding they went off on a bridal trip, and when they got back to Florida hu had only Si!.") loft out of his $2,000. He realized tho necessity of raising a stake, and, telling his wile that he was going to Gorgia to raise a legacy, he came away to meet his doom. lie reached Lagrange, and after reconnoitering do cided on the safe. Ho got everything in readiness and picked his night, but hi.-plans were thwui ted. Tho next night he succeeded, but tho blow yielded him only Si 3. Had he been successful tho first night would havo gotten $1,700, as there was that amount in the safe. Ho intended to get tho money, return to Floridi and live a correct life. lie declares that ho would havo been able to get off had he not been Hushed the first night. Singe he has been serving his first term here, tho lady who signs herself as Mrs. Wilson lion written several letters from Bluff Springs, Fla., inquiring for her husband, who is Robinson. She learned of his arrest but did not know what became of him. Robinson had a dozen different names, but beyond stating that he caino from Kentucky he decline I to tell anything concerning his origin. He is about years of ago, and has a good faco for a convict. Since being in convict camp ho has made several attempts to getaway. When lie was turned over to tho lessees ho was attired, in a fronted suit, lie wore a white shirt, u nobby cravat and box-toe shoes. His general appearance, conduct and language indicated good raising, but his career is now ended. frank james" The IliWIliui to be t.lvon n llono of MiiiiicNOtu Justice. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 9. Tho nows of the acquittal of Frank James, one of tho Northlield robbers, on trial at Gallatin, Mo., for his numerous crimes committed in that State, of course, caused considerable comment in this city. It will bo remembered that soino months ago Governor Hubbard, at tho instigation of tho County Attorney of Rico county, asked for u requisition for James from Governor Crittenden, of Missouri. Tho Governor, having the famous bandit in custody for crfines committed in that State, held the rtquitition in abeyance until after liih trial there. It is probablo that the State of Missouri hus not got through with him, but if tlioy conclude that it would be to convict him by a "jury of Missourians," ho will undoubtedly ho turned over to Minnesota, where-, if his identity and connection with tho famous raid at Northfield ib established, he will Join his pals, tho Younger brothers, at tho Stillwater Penitentiaiy. Gov. Hubbard being with the Villiard excursionists in

General Itogret at the Delay in Tonne Nutt'a Cnn. Uniontowk, Pa., Sept 9. There is a general regret that the young avenger of his father's death and his sister's honor has yet threo months to remain in jail before being tried, though there seems good ground, however, for tho delay, and his counsel would certainly havo been open to tho criticism of having acted unwisely had they gone to trial now. Mr. Frank Rreckenridge is the most important witness for tho defense. The counsel for tho defenso regret the delay as .much ns tho prisoner. The general public hero also feel that the boy ought to have been tried at this term, nnil they reluctantly nccept tho postponement as necessary. Tho young man feels the delay deeply. Tho jail where he is confined is a miserable old concern, and ho is obliged to minglo with tho dozen other prisoners confined there. Tho rigor of prison lifo is, however, relaxed, so that ho gets fair treatment and good food. His mother and sister visit him every day, and he is as comfortable as his surroundings will admit. Ho preserves the samo dignified, gentlemanly deportment that has characterized him ever since the tragedy, and refuses to talk witli any ono on tho shooting. Vion told thut postponement was necessary, he said : "1 am very sorry. I had hoped that this suspense might soon bo ended, but I will cheerfully make the best of tho necessity that keeps me longer in prison." The feoling in favor of his acquittal is apparently us strong hero ns tho day ho killed his father's murderer. His counsel refuse to say what plea they would have set up had tho trial taken place, but it is generally believed that the plea of provocation will finally be relied upon. It will be a little more than threo months yet before the caso will be again called anil these details of his defense decided. HORRIBLE DISCOVERY. A Itody round by znrda. ViCKSnuno, Miss., Sept. 9. Information has been received hero to tho effect that tho body of Capt. J. II. Robinson was found in a thicket on Deer Creek, in Sharkey county, horribly mutilated and half-eaten by buzzards. Attention was attracted to tho body by stench arising from it. The head was found some distance from the body, which had been perforated with buck-shot and carved in every portion. No clew has been obtained thus tar as to the party or parties who committed the crime, or when or at what particular place, or under what circumstances. Capt. J. II. Robertson was about thirty-six vcars of age. He was first Sheriff of Sharkey county nnd ono of tho most popular citizens of the State. True, ho had at various times been forced into difficulties resulting in the deatli of attacking parties, but as a general thing he was considered u good, generous man, and a law-abiding citizen. Some years since ho killed Judge E. W. Clarke, of Sharkey county. In 1871 he shot and killed a notorious character named Hugh Carson, in this city, and it is understood that lie had (mother shooting affray, growing out of his action as an officer of Sharkey county in his efforts to make arrests. It is said that Kobertson's head was found fully ti I teen feet from his body, anil that an axe with traces of blood on it was picked up in close proximity. ON THE RAIL. Two I.oeoinoti voh Tightly Welded ly n Collision. , IlAt.riMOKi:, Sept. P.--A collision occurred on the Western Maryland Railroad, miles from this city, between a locomotive coining east and an excursion train from Washington for Pen- mar with several hundred persons, including many ladies and chihlion. The collision occurred through a misunderstanding of orders, and in a narrow cut near Putapse Station. The locomotives came together with a terrible crash, and that running east jumped entirely upon tho other. They were wedged so tightlv together that at a late hour they had not been separated. A man named Simmons, a painter in the employ of Coy, on tho east-bound engine as llngman, was killed outright. James Mnccubin and Edward Jewett, the engineers, were both horribly scalded by escaping steam. The trncks were obstructed all day so thnt passengers had to be transferred, und tho mail-train due in this city at 0 o'clock did not arrivo until about 11 o'clock p. m. The excursionists from Washington, after remaining at tho wreck until about 5 o'clock, wero brought back and proceeded to Washington. None of the excursionists wore injured. PROBABLE BLACKMAIL. Nhnron Arrested ou n ClinrKO of Ailullcry. San Fiiancisco, Sept. 9. Ex-Senator Sharon lias just been arrested on a chargo of adultery as ho was taking tho train for tho East. The charge was preferrcd by Miss Aggie Hill, well known in society circles. The lady claims that a contract of marriage was drawn up anil agreed to between them; that, in addition, sho loaned him 590,000, $78,000 of which ho hud repaid her. Sho placed the matter in tiio hands of u man named W. M. Neilson, of unenviable reputation, with instructions to claim tho balance of $12,- V 000, said to bo duo her, and at the timo swore out a writ charging Sharon witli adultery. It is stated that Sharon drew liis check for tho amount and gave bonds for $5,000 to answer tho charge. Miss Hill bases her claim of marriage, and tho fact of an agreement of marriage, as sho states, having been entered into between herself und Sharon, holding that in point of law it is equivalent to a marriago ceremony. The affair is openly pronounced a miserable caso of blackmailing, kept back till tho last moment, when Sharon was leaving for tho East.

James Ravy, a workinan, arrived at the Union Depot with his family, in a sad and peculiar plight. He started from Cincinnati on tho Ohio and Mississippi railroad train, being on his way to tho Indian Territory to secure a lucrative position. Refore the train had gone n great distance Mrs. Ravy manifested symptoms of insanity, and lieing very violent alarmed the other passengers. At one time she attempted to jump from the train, then moving at great speed, and it required the united ellorts of her hush.iud, the porter and two of the male passengers to prevent her. She was calniei for a time, but again broke into a lit of violence, and teiing the poker of tho stove began smashing the car windows. With tho assistance of several men the woman was overpowered and removed to another part of the coach. Mrs. Kavy remained quiet for a time and it was supposed that her violence had passed away. Tho vigilance of her watchers was relaxed nnd, watch ing her opportunity, shu ran into the ladies' dressing-room and locked herself in. Neither threats nor persuasion availed to get her out and the conductor and trainmen were obliged to break open the door and take her out by main force. The passengers were badlv frightened, und at their request tlte conductor consented, ns Kavy was willing, to put the family off at tho next station, after furnishing them with checks, so that they could ride on any train bound for St. Louis. Ravy, his wife and young children boarded tho next train, and finished the trip to this city without trouble, Mrs. Law acting rationally and quietly. From tho lTnion Depot the family proceeded to the St. Louis House) on Second and Clark avenue. While Kavy was busy making arrangements for board and lodging li is wife suddenly disappeared, taking with her the vounget child, a babe in arms. The husband was almost distracted anil immediately proceeded to the Chestnut Strict Station, where he notified the police. While he was thus encaged look ing for his wife, Officer Shaw found the woman wandering about the stiocts with the baby. From her actions lie concluded that there win somethiug wrong and took her to the Four Courts. A few bom's later Kavy called there and his wife was restoicd him. Tho woman wept bitterly, but quietly accompanied hen husband to the lodging-house. OUT OF THE CAR WINDOW. V lcHfrtrN Itiirintr I.ciijt from a Suilll.V Motlim Train. Kiiadinci, Pa., Sent. 9. The 10.M train from this city for Now York had among ts passengers a squad of I'nited States .ohlierx consisting of a sergeant and six privates who had in custody a deerter captured at llarrisburg and destined for Governor's Island. Nothing uniwiial occurred until reaching this city. The deserter here complained that the handcuffs hurt him and asked to have them taken oil". After some talk about it the sergeant removed thorn. After leaving here the prisoner curled himself up on one of the seats and protended tube sleeping. While the soldiers were not looking their prisoner rahod the enr window and suddenly placed his hands close to his side, and thon, while the train was rushing .along at the rate of thirty miles an hour, shot himself through the window feet loreinost. Tho hoiriried expected to see the man mangled by the cars, hut he landed safely on his feet, stopped a moment to rub his eyes, and then struck out at a brisk pace for the heavily wooded hills near Emans. The sergeant pulled the bell-rope and stopped the train, which had run about 200 yards from where the deserter had made his bold jump. After getting his men ofi'tho train they started in pursuit, but were unable to find any trace of their prisoner. THE NEW STAMPS. F.norinouH Icmauiln For Npeoinl lie-quest EilYOlopea. Washington, D. C, Sept. 9. In anticipation of tho change in tho letter rates there has been an extraordinary demand on the part of tho Post Ollice Department for speciul request envelopes. The ordor filled in ono day by the department callod for 93,C00 of this variety with the stamp thereon. Tho public seem to anticipate a delay on tho part of tho department in filling tho orders after the 1st of October, and aro ordering ahead.

Curiously Confllctinir Humors Itecnrd in If a Murder. Minnkapoms, Minn.,Sept. 9. Tho murder of Monday last is still shrouded in mystery, so far ns its causo and tho identity of tho dead man and his slayer aro concerned. The police have followed thn slight clews carefully, but thus far without substantial results. Tho dead man, still believed to havo been named Dover, who has a mistress in Chicago, is now said to be the son of a formor mayor of Galena, 111. Another story is that his name is he-land, and that he has a mother and sister in Chicago. The story is that ho had a dispute with two men over tho division of 5900, which ended in tho murder. A memorandum book bearing tho name of J. L. Lcltuul was found on tho body. A policeman says that tho murdered man told him a "few days before tho shooting that he was here in search of a man who had stolen a $300 diamond pin from him. The police assert that tho dead man's nnme was Dover, that he is a well-known crook from Chicago, and that the murderer, also a Chicago crook, is one of a gang with, which Dover was traveling. Tho memorandum book found on the corpse contained a full list of the northwestern fairs, with dates. The revolver with which the murder was committed was picked up near the spot, and tho police claim that tho murderer, himself wounded, is still in tho city. They say they know him,-but can not give out anything for publication for fear ho will be put on his guard. They also aver that the men first quarrelled over money, three being interested in it, and that two did tho shooting. An anonymous letter to Tho Pioneer Press stated that tho writer did not know tho murdered man's name, but that his family lives in Rockford, 111., and that he had a large sum of monoy sewed up in his clothes. Officers ripped open the dead man's clothes, and found over $100. They now want to see the writer of the letter. i m LATEST INDIAN NEWS. Itecent Iiif'oi'iuiit ion From tho Apache iallllK1. Las.

It would bo impossiblo to determine his actions now, but tho Rico county authorities will probably pursuo tho matter until they get him or positive refusal for tho granting of their requisition. i i A DARK MYSTERY.
