PURSUIT, CAPTURE, AND DEATH OF
FARRINGTON, CHIEF OF THE GANG.
Short Chapter from the History of the
Modern Murrell.
THE EFFICIENCY OF THE GREAT PINKERTON DE
TECTIVE AGENCY.
(From, lhe Memphis Appeal, Fee. 16.)
There ie an impression abroad that no one
ever escapes who attempts to rob the
Southern Express Company. This is founded
on the experience oj years. That copiMny
make it. a point to hunt down thieves, uo mat
ter what it may cost. Levi Farringtoft ja thfi
latest victim of this fearful which
never relaxes pursuit until death or this law
clutches in its inexorable grasp lhe being who
is weak enough to attempt to tolTor'J&SJzjlc
their property.
Farrington had
-'a-'—-' ~MIiIPBriSATED MANY CHIMBS
before he touched the express. It Was his
fatality to rush against that rock; and upOh it
be split. The first time he brought to tho
notice of the Memphis police was last Spring,
when a gentleman from Augusta, Arkansas,
saw Farrington on board a boat at our wharf,
and sent for Captain Athey, to havo him ar
rested. He was brought to the station-house,
as was also a horse which he was taking with
him to Arkansas.
In a few days afterward the horse was claim
ed by a gentleman from Tipton county, in this
State, and Farrington was bound over in the
sum of two thousand dollars to answer to the
ohargo of horse stealing, but subsequently got
out on straw bail. Some gentlemen camo here
from Missouri to see if ho was not the person
who had killed parties in that State. They
looked at him through the bars of his cage,
and said, “No; he is not the man; It is his
brother we aro after.” Farrington
MADE A DASH FOB LIBERTY
while being escorted from the magistrate’s of
fice here to the jail, breaking away from the
officer who had him in charge at the corner of
Commerce and Mam streets, and. after running
two hours, had to halt in front of a high fence,
and allow himself to be recaptured and led to
lail.
After getting away from hero, he immediate
ly set about tho perpetration of heavier rob
beries than any ho had before participated m.
Bo associated himself with others, and, no
doubt, tho brother was tho leading spirit in the
business, as it appears that Levi Farrington,
alias Clarke, was not half so bad a man as his
brother, who has not yet turned up. In July
last the train was robbed at Moscow station,
Kentucky. It was generally believed at tho
time that tho Farrington gang were concerned
in the job, and again, in October, another train
was robbed at Union City, and again the same
clan were suspected.
It was on the evening oi Saturday, tho 21st
of October, tho latter robbery was perpetrated.
Tho train, as was usual, was switched on the
side-track, and all hands except one man, the
guard, left tho cars to havo supper at some
distance from where the train rested on tho
tide-track.
The switching was dono to allow a clear
through line for a train which was to pass
about that time, going in a different direction.
When the coast was all clear, two men jump
ed into the express car and told the guard to
keep quiet
AT THE PERIL OF HIS LIFE,
while others got upon the engine and com
menced backing the train down the track. Pis
tols were held at the head of Mr. Thomas, the
guard, and he was requested to hand out tho
keys of tho safe, which ho did. Tho men went
through its contents, taking all the money
there was, amounting to about fifteen hundred
dollars. When they had secured the booty,
they signaled the engine to stop, and all hands
got off and took to tho woods.
As tho robbers started the train, a negro
man at the station notified the engine-driver
and conductor at their supper of what had
happened, they started down the track after
the train, and when they reached it found
everything all right except the express car.
The guard related the story, which was so
strange that it astounded all hands. On tho
engine one of tho thieves left a small satchel,
tvhioh contained a loaf of baker’s broad and a
piece of bacon. The autborites of the express
company were notified of tho affair, and in a
short time jtho superintendent, M. J. O’Brien,
and tho assistant-supontendent, Mr. Worley,
were on tho ground, and had made their de
cision what to do in the case.
PINKEBTON WAS SENT FOB,
and, in conjunction with Pat. Connell, of this
city, commenced operations, starting out with
tho satchel and its contents as a basis tor op
erations. From the description of the mon,
Connell suspected that it was the work of the
Farrington family. In November they had
traced the Farringtons to a place called Leis
ter’s Landing, below Hickman, Kentucky, and
about twenty miles from Union City.' Here
the officers went, walked into the house where
the theives were in company with a number of
ether men of like kidney, and had a bold fight,
but failed to capture tho birds. Pinkerton and
Connell got some scratches from pistol balls
in the encounter. The Farringtons and Bar
ton, the other youth concerned in-the affair,
jot away. M 'tM-'
Shortly after this, it Was stated that tho mo
ther of the family was about to remove from
Waverly, a station on the Nashville and North
western railroad, to Toxas. She had circulate
M <lnrv. and it coming to the ears of Con
nell and Pinkerton, inej .r.viv.o w -i
the information. They had by this time sur
rounded themselves with a good fotob. Tfto
of their men were dispatched to Waverly to
make acquaintance with Mrs. Farrington. One
of them hired with her as a teamster, and the
other kept hovering around to observe and to
notify his chief of what was going on. In this
way they learned that Mrs. Farrington was not
bound for Texas, but for Missouri, where she
intended to locate in tho neighborhood of her
relations, at a little town called Verona. De
tectives were at once dispatched to Verona to
watch for the Farringtons. Connell and Pink
erton also went in different characters. Two
of their men hired themselves out as farm la
borers to the uncle oi the Farringtons.
THE THIEVES WEBE TRACED TO THEIB HOLES,
and there surrendered on last Tuesday. Yes
terday was received the following dispatch,
which tells how well tho plans of tho officers
were laid:
St. Lovis, December 15.
William A. Pinkerton and S. I. Gallagher, of Pin
kerton, Chicago, Detective Agency and Connell,
oi Memphis, left here last night for Union City, Ten
nessee, having in charge Hlllery Farrington, alias
Henry Clark, and William Barton, charged with rob
bing a Southern Express company messenger, by
boarding trains at Moscow and Union City, on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, last July and October.
These men were arrested at Verona, on the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad, in the extreme southwestern
part oi this State, and were captured only after the
Louses in which they took refuge were securely bar.
rlcodsd from the outside and then set on fire.
They axe desperate characters, upd are charged with
murder as well as robbery. Tlieir arrest, it is bo
lieved, will have the effect to break up one of tho
worst gangs of desperadoes ever in the West.
From this it is plain that there was a desper
ate struggle and nothing short of the complete
and effective means adopted by the express
Company could have accomplished so desirable
an object as their capture.
Barton is an equally desperate character, but
aeems to havo a greater love of life than Far
rington, because be is less experienced and has
brighter hopes of the future than tho others
who found nothing but disappointment and
misery in this world. Barton was kpown as a
brakeman on various roads in this Slate, but
bis bold spirit revolted against that slow way
of making money, so ho struck out and j'oine’d
lhe bank.
THE LAST OF FABBINGTON.
On the way from the scene of capture to
Union City, where tho prisoners were to be
tried for their crimes, Barton made a full con
fesßloh to Pinkerton ns to both the robberies,
tho one at Moscow pod the ono at Union City
that is ho showed bis willingness to turn State’s
evidence on Farrington. Farrington became
aware of this and grew desperate.
Between Cairo and Columbus, yesterday
morning, while coming down On the transfer
Btoamor, he called Pinkerton out on the guards,
saying be had something to communicate.
Pinkerton, being a cautious and wary fellow
among such characters, carried bis pistol in
his hand. When, however, they got out on
lhe guard, Farrington managed to snatch tho
woapon from hie hand, and presenting it at
bis head, said:
“Now, you have none tho best of me I”
Tho detective saw the tables were about to
be turned, so he lost no time, but closed with
bis assailant at onoe, at the same time notify
ing Connell to come to his assistance. Connell
was on the spot just in time to seize the pistol
ae it exploded at the head of Pinkerton. The
prompt manner in which Connell moved, how
ever, saved Pinkerton’s life,
THE BALL GRAZING HIS HEAD,
and tho powder blackening his face. Farring
ton continued to struggle he had made up
bis mind for a desperate encounter. In the
fierce fight for liberty, and life, perhaps, he was
thrown over the guard, the wheel of the boat
struck him on tho head, and ho was seen no
more, there apparently being no opportunity
for escape. Farrington’s object may havo
boon to wreak a desperate revenge on his per
sistent captor, Pinkerton, who is recognized as
the most dreaded enemy of such characters
but it is more apparent that Pinkerton, having
Barton’s full and unequivocal confession as to
the participants in the two express robberies,
beside murder cases in which the
were involved,Farrington though if he couki'get
Pinkerton out of the way, ho would yet have
h chance to escape the meshes of tho law.
As it is, he has only met a merited fate, and
although by his desperate attempt the result
deprived the gallows of a victim, good citizens
tnJl yojoico gt t|ie result. The coolness and in-
trepidity of Pinkerton and Connell are to be
commended. The'expresa company lost only
$1,500 by the robbery, but have expended over
$5,000 in the effort to hunt down the thieves.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
At a late hour last night, we receivefl the
the dispach below, which confirms our impres
sion that Farrington’s brother was the real
bad man in the whole business —the same that
was wanted by the gentleman who came here
from Missouri in search of him last summer.
Here is the dispatch

A THRILLINC SCENE.
UNPARALLELED BRAVERY AND SELF-DEVO
TION OF A WOMAN.
The Fribourg, Switzerland, correspondent of tho
London Standard, after describing tho recent con
flagration in that city, relates the following act of
bravery and self-devotion on the part of a woman:
Hitherto I had looked upon tho scene, awful as it
was, as being simply a case of destruction of prop
erty. as I had been told that the people who lived in
the houses had succeeded in escaping. Suddenly,
however, from one of the front windows on the third
story I heard a crash of glass, and looking up, I saw
a woman’s face—such a face as I never care to see
again. It was dreadful in its agony.
Screaming U the crowd below, she seemed to feel
that she was too high for them to hear her, and the
flames, as she stood at the window, came licking up
the wall, as though they felt she was already given
up to them. What she said, or attempted to say, no
one ever knew; but the crowd gazing up from be
low saw her, and a hoarse roar came from them
which seemed to reach her and give her encourage
ment. Wildly waving her arms, she disappeared
for a moment, and then reappeared at the window
with a little child in her arms.
In England a fire-escape would have been reared
against the wall of the house, 'and a fireman would
havo brought down the woman and the child—not
perhaps without some difficulty, but still without any
great danger, provided be could havo kept out of the
way of the flames, which were darting out of the
windows of the lower stories; but in Switzerland no
such things as fire-escapes exist. There aro willing
hands and brave hearts, and that is all. What, then,
can bo dono Are the people to see the woman and
child roasted to death under their very eyes? But
they are very far below, and the fiery flames are
creeping up the outer walls and windows, and al
ready the woman has to drawback her burden, as
the fire comes nearer and nearer.
From below all access is cut off. Tho staircases
are simply masses of red-hot stone, where no ono
can live for a moment. What can be done Just
then a tremendous cheer burst from the crowd be
low, the reason for which I could not understand,
and I could only continue to look with horrible
dread upon the sight, for I know that unlees help
came within a few minutes it would aoma too lato.
But help did come—though, to me, from a somewhat
unexpected quarter.
The house where tho woman and child woro stand
ing was the last of those which had taken fire, and
the adjoining one had an iron balcony, from which a
fireman, seeing the dreadful danger, and cheered by
the crowd, attempted to throw a rope to tho woman.
But it was very difficult for her to catch it. Four
times ho threw it, and each time we saw it fall past
tho window, though it was pitiful to seo how eagerly
she tried to get hold of it. But the fifth time she
was successful, and tying the rope tightly round the
child’s body, she swung it out of tho window, and it
was slowly but safely drawn into tho adjoining house.
Directly she had done this the woman disappeared
from the window, but almost immediately returned
with another child, and by the same moans she suc
ceeded in saving her second charge, But in saving
the lives of these two children the brave woman
had got terribly burned. The flames had been
creeping up nearer and nearer to her, and as she
stood at the window tying the children a tongue of
fire would often leap up and encircle her, but sho
never flinched. Wrapping the child she hold in her
arms tightly in a woolen cloak, so as to prevent the
flame touching it, she would stand quietly bearing
the fire until it had once more gone down, and thon
she quickly pecceeded with her work.
But now it seemed too late to save the woman her
self, for the fire had reached the storo of wood at the
top of the house, and the roof was in flames. Her
hands and arms, too, were terribly scorched, and we
feared she would never be able to hold the rope.
But as the cord was thrown to her tho people raised
a tremendous cheer, as though to encourage her, and
catching it at the first attempt, she managed to fast
en it round her body, and throwing herself out of
the window, she was gradually lowered into the
street, and carefully taken to the hospital, where she
at present lies in a dangerous condition.
There have been many cases of devoted heroism
in times past, but I know of none more noble than
this of a simple servant girl, who not only risked
her own life, but stood such dreadful torture in
order to save tho lives of the children under her
charge, and I gladly give her name. It is Anna Al
bitz, of Birkendorf. The Swiss people aro a warm
hearted race, and the devoted conduct of the girl
se'ems to be fully appreciated by them. The whole
presa has spoken loudly iu praise oi the heroism she
has shown, and already a subscription has been
opened for her benefit, as it is feared her injuries
are so severe that she will never again bo able, even
if she recovers from them, to gain her own living.
SPIRITS IN OIL.
REVELATIONS FROM ONE OF THE SPHERES
CONCERNING KEROSENE.
Tho Oil City Derrick, alluding to tho fact that a
well has been sunk 1,409 feet in tho Tonawanda
Swamp, near Batavia, N. Y., under the direction oi
spirita” revives that folly by saying:
We knew ft similar case that resulted in some
thing more tlian a joke. About ten years ago, a man
named Sheldon, who believed in spiritual
tions, received fl through an old Statoprig
on candidate namdd Speer, that by boring in a cer
tain spot in tho towh Eiantone. Chautauqua coun
ty, near the Pennsylvania he would dis-
cover—not oil, but—a fountain of or wonder
ful medicinal spring, or something of that kind,
snilaon wan mwaf
000,
Speer went on with a gang of workmen, under di
rections he pretended to receive every night from
“tho glory world,” and sunk a tunnel m a hill. It
ran zig-zag, like a flight of stairs, into the ground.
Speer trotted out the revelations and Sheldon footed
the bills. The enterprise included the lease 05
chase of a lovely groVe of trees, and the Grfeciion of
a quadrangular and other oddly shafted houses, all
under the direction of “the sprits.” Speer gath
ered a number of adherents around him, of both
sexes, and regulated all their affairs by “revela
tion.” Speer announced, as coming from on high,
that there was to 15© a spirited child—a sedond Mes
siah-sent to them by immaculate conception. A
child was born at Speer’s house in due time, and
was received as supernatural by the company.
The settlement lasted some months. It lasted as
long as Sheldou’s money held out. When about 150
feet into the hill, the fickle spirits (through Speer)
ordered the work to stop until sonra thing more was
developed.” There was plenty of sulphur water in
it—painfully suggestive of tho spirits,” if any, that
had to do with its discovery. Many queer perform
ances happened at the “Kiantone Springs.” Under
spiritual guidance, tho “mediums,” “prophets,”
etc., played such fantastic tricks before high heaven
as made tho angels weep and men laugh with ex
ceeding much “laftyure.” Their “grove meetings”
were the scene of actions disgraceful alike to tho be
lievers and the world’s people.” The place, in
stead of being the millenial abode It promised to be,
became a little hell upon earth.
When Sheldon’s fortune was gone, Speer suddenly
received a call to preach” elsewhere. Sheldon re
tired nearly penniless, but none tke less a believer
in the spirits, and that they had ordered the whole
swindle. Ho never could see what connection there
was between tho thing and his finances he never
dreamed that his pocket was the attraction that
called down Speer’s “revelations.” Sheldon died a
few months since, insane. He sunk about $25 800
in the Kiantone Cave” as irreverent people dub
bed it.
SHOT WITH A CORK.
AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
{From the Louisville Courier-Journal.)
A lady residing on Second street retired early, as
usual, the other night, ill good health, and with a
feeling of security regarding her personal safety, not
dreaming of the proximity of danger, or the proba
bility of injury from deadly weapons, which ehe
afterward supposed were at tho time pointing at her
from the Window just opposite her bed. While
peacefully teposing and enjoying the comfort and
luxury of a CQzy room on a Winter’s night, suddenly
there was a sharp feport at the window, the whir of
some kind of missile passing through the room, and
a sound as of a shot siriuing the person of the lady,
followed by a sharp, stinging sensation between the
shoulders. A scream pierced the air, and startled
the members of the household, who earns running to
the chamber, and found the lady fainting.
Cold water was freely used, when the lady recov
ered and cried out that she was shot, and a boy was
dispatched in haste for a doctor on Third street.
The physician filled his pockets with probes and for
ceps and knives and what-not, for the surgical visit,*,
and went rushing to the rescue, thinking, probably
to save a poor suffering creature’s life. The door
was opened, and he hurried into tho room but in
stead of finding the patient writhing in pain and
agony, he was overwhelmed with surprise, and per
haps a little disappointed, to find her laughing and
blushing, as it enjoying one of the best of jokes.
Before he could ask any questions, she hastened to
explain that alter be was sent for a member of the
family examined her shoulder, and 110 wound was
found. She then remembered that she had left a few
bottles of ale in tho room near the window, and far
ther investigation proved that one of the corks had
popped out, striking her in tho back, which she
thought was a bullet shot through the window. It
was an amusing affair to the doctor, who liices a joke
as well as any one, and he joined with the family in
a hearty laugh at the wounded lady’s expense, albeit
Le was a little disappointed in his anticipation oi a
splendid case of cutting, s.ashing and probing, and
—his usual foe.
KISSED BY MISTAKE.
A PLEASING INCIDENT.
An incident occurred one night last week on Jef
ferson street, Louisville, Ky., which was quite in
teresting at least to one person concerned. A young
and handsome clerk was quietly walking down the
street, when s’ld-amly a lovely young lady flashed
across his jwr. ike a startled sunbeam, a soft pair
of arms were ceathed around his neck, a pretty face
was thrust im bis hat, and a plump pair of rosy
lips printed a Milling kiss fairly on his mouth, The
bashful youu man “felt all over in streaks” for a
moment, bm recovered himself when tho young
lady drew back blushing and trembling, and timidly
hiding her face with her hands begging to be ex
cused for mistaking him for an uncle. Think of that I
An uncle, indeed! But, notwithstanding the insinu
ation, the young clerk felt under 00 many obliga
tions to tho lady for her mistake that he accepted
the apology, and gallantly offered to excuse her if
sho would repeat tho outrage. She couldn’t see tho
necessity, of that, however, and he sauntered home
ward to dream of soit-armed rosv-linned angels—and
their uncles.
NEW YORK DISPATCH.
WOMEN VOTERS.
‘•THEY WOULD NOT REFUSE TO VOTE FOR
HANDSOME YOUNG MEN.”
At a recent election in Greeley, Colorado, to take
the.will of the inhabitants as to who the/would wish
for postmaster, the women were allowed to vote, not
withstanding the well-known opposition to female
suffrage entertained by the good man who stood god
father to tho colony, father Meeker, in his last
paper, gives tho following account of the proceed
ings 1 A noteworthy feature of this election was the
voting of tne women. The cause of woman’s suffrage
in Greeley has- some advocates, but probably not
more than any other other community of like intelli
gence, nor has thefe been any special agitation on
the subject.
That properly might vote in an election
for postmaster, seemed clear enough, and both can
didates agreed that thoir votes should be received.
Perhaps the election was of greater interest for this
reason, and more male Votes were polled than on any
previous occasion. The number of women who
voted was ninety-eight. During most of the time
Colony Hall was well filled; every moment order and
quiet prevailed. When a group of ladies appeared
at the door the house became silent, men politely
stepped aside, and ail eyes were turned upon, the
new partners in the political field. The ladies pro
ceeded at onco to tho ballot-box. led either by Mr.
Gipson Ir'ntsplf pr by spina frien<| yf Flowers,
and after depositing their votes they impaediately
tired. Mr. Gipson was the first to send out a large
sleigh to bring in his fair patrons, which example
woe fa.lowed bv Mr. Xngkt Ctafi?
sleighs were procured, and after dark loth parties
were extremely active in bringing in lady voters.
It has been often stated that women do not want
to vote, but this is certainly not true of the ladies of
Greeley—probably it is not true of ladies in othQj
places, for it now seems demonstrated that if wppaen
are allowed to vote, the different candidates will be
anxious to get their votes, while the ladies will bo
quite Willing to ploafid id say the least. It was
quite amusing to see men, who hitherto have been
decided opponents to woman’s suffrage, become re
markably active in getting them cut to vote—indeed
some of those who worked hardest in bringing the
ladies to the polls, were men who had been in the
habit of speaking of rhe act as improper and indeli
cate. That t-he ladies voted about equally, is true;
but it seemed manifest that if women should come
generally to vote, they would not refuse to vote for
handsome young men; and it was interesting, al
most refreshing, to see the young lawyer lead the
young ladies to the platform, help them up tho steps,
then down and back to the sleigh, and all this
brought to the occasion much of elegance, refine
ment, and ideality. It is to be remarked that the
ladies dressed in their best, and that many of them
favorably compared in their attire with their more
favored sisters in Eastern cities.
REMAINS OF THE AZTECS.
THE SINGULAR RACE HEARD FROM AGAIN.
That very singular community, the Aztecs, have
been heard from again. A letter from ono of the
Powell Colorado exploring expedition states that
Aztec picture-writing” has been discovered on the
rocks near Uintah, and that from there to the Gulf
traces of their ancient residence abound. As an ex
ample of the discoveries, the record of tho 15th of
last Septemoer will be interesting. On that day a
party of three started in quest of the ruins. Climb
ing up and along a steep and narrow ledge, they
came to a cluster of dilapidated houses, with but six
feet of wall remaining. They found pieces of pottery
and fragments of arrow-heads, with occasional per
fect specimens of the latter.
One of the most interesting and valuable prizes
Was in tho form of an earthen jug, artistically fash
ioned, and in an excellent state of preservation. It
was hidden under a rock, with the mouth covered
with a stone. The jar had a capacity of four or five
gallons, and contained small bundles of split wil
lows, used for baking corn-bread, lhe bundles had
been tied with twine made from wild hemp, and were
rotten with age. Tho explorers propose to visit
many of tho “cities” of the Aztecs, this Winter, and
learn more of their history, habits, and religious
rites, from personal observation and study.
THE FICKLE GODDESS.
THE LUCK OF A CIGAR DEALER.
Romantic things come to pass these days in the
financial line, says a Pittsburgh paper, and we have
already had one or two illustrations hereabouts. The
last individual who was made pecuniarily happy by
the opportune demise of a wealthy relative in a for
eign land was, as may be recollected, an humble
hostler at the stables of a certain firm on Duquesne
Way. This time the fiokle goddess has smiled on the
tobacco trade, and the are briefly as follows:
For some years past there has been engaged in
business on Fifth avenue extentsion a German who
has found it is much as he could do to provide for
the material wants oi his family. On Monday this
German received a letter bearing a foreign postmark,
and not being an educated man himself, brought it
to a friend who is engaged in tho tavern keeping
business, with a request that lhe friend would read
it for him.
This was done, and the letter, when opened, was
found to bo an announcement that a remote wealthy
relative of tho cigar maker had died and left him
£150,000 sterling, or $740,000 in gold. The artist in
tho “weed” could scarcely believe his ears at first,
and thought the affair was a practical joke upon him,
but iurther examination of the letter led to the fts
surauce that it was genuine.
