The iewelry was found in his possession,
and will be returned 70 the owner. The
accused. we are told, denies the charge
Of being married to lady in Nashville,
but his recent intrigue is not calculated
TO create much sympathy.
A Banner reporter having received in
formation that Carrillon had married a
young lady IN one OF our Middle Tennes-
see towns, and that she had an aunt
living in Nashville well acquainted with
all the facts, he visited the latter yester-
day. and obtained from her all the par
ticulars concerning Carrillon's marriage
and his subsequent desertion Of his wife
A. G. Carrillon came to Nashville a
little more than three years ago, but
from where no one seems to have any
defined idea He claimed TO hail from
New Orleans, but as he had travelled all
over the United States and good por-
ton Of Europe, Il was rather difficult to
obtain the faintest clue as to his nativity.
Having asked to become canvasser for
the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, he was employed in that ca
pacity. and, after brief stay, was sent
TO Clarksville to further the interests OF
the company at that place.
While at Clarksville he formed the &C
ouaintance of beautiful young lady at
that place, to whom he took fancy,
and paid the most assiduoas attentions.
He was the adorer of her personal
charms. but here bis regard for her ceased.
She gave him her whole heart; he
returned empty protestations and mock
affection. Unable to discern the base
counterfeit from the genuine coin, and
having been fully persuaded in her own
mind and heart that she could trust him,
she Welded to his wishes and her fond
est hopes for bright future, and they
were united BY a minister of Episco-
nalian faith. She took the solemn mar
rage VOWS, to keep them inviolate; he
TO break them when chance and cir
cumstanees would admit of it. They
lived very happily together at Clarks-
Vile for more than two months, when
he was called to Nashville on business,
bringing his young bride with him.
Carrillon did not remain in the en-
nloyment Of the Wheeler a Wilson Sew
ing Machine Company very long after
bis return to Nashville, he having been
politely informed that his services were
no longer needed. His occupation lost,
he was no longer able to maintain him
self in Nashville. Leaving his wife at
the Weller House, without either having
Maid or provided for the payment Of her
hoard. he went toMemphis. On arriving
al the Bluff City, he was employed in
the Office Of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company. While in its employment, 1t
is said that he traded one of its machines
off for a watch, sold the watch, took the
money and cleared out. His wife, al
most broken-hearted at his conduct went
10 the house OF her aunt, where she gave
birth to q son,qI ...4gl
Shortly after he had left Memphis, the
agent Of the Singer Company transmit
ted letter to her for Carrillon, post
marked San Francisco, not knowing OF
his whereabouts. She opened it. 1t
purported TO be letter from an uncle
named Desolo, containing, beside quite
number Of hieroglyphics, the following
sentence:
"If YOU come to San Francisco, you
must come well disguised, or you will
certainly be detected.
/! Mrs. CarrilIon addressed a letter to
Desolo inquiring after her husband. De-
sole returned an answer that he had no
right to give information relative to his
nephew's whereabouts, and that he had
never heard of his having a wife living
IN Nashville, and this was the last letter
received from Desolo.
Mrs. Carrillon heard no more from her
recreant husband, until last fall she had
received the startling information that he
had married rich Jewess in New Or
LEANS. AT first she was much distressed,
but subsequently determined to obtain a
divorce, for which purpose she filed a
bill.
While counting Mrs. Carrillon he
claimed to be widower lie said that
he had married an actress, and that she
had been burned to death while travelling.
Carrillon always kept his own secrets.
He received letters from almost every
direction, but be never allowed his wife
the privilege Of reading them.
Mrs. Carrillon still resides in Dixon
county. 5.e1
A Brighton, Mass, man took singu'
lar and perilous sleigh ride the other
day. A runaway horse came tearing
around a corner, bringing the sleigh
against the legs Of the man in such a
manner that he was thrown head fore
most into the vehicle. The horse ran
with such furious speed that the. invol-
untary passenger in the sleigh, who was
