And here the interview ended.
Mrs. Heward-as she insists upon calling
herself-is decidedly lady OF refinement
and culture. Apparently she is about thirty
years Of age and has an air which Is very
attractive. S5e is a blonde whose elegance
OF manner should make any man proud tc
call her bis wife.
II is we'll known, says The Constitution
that Charles T. Howard, the father of FRANK
Howard, while CARELESS OF bis own social
position, has ALWAYS been very anxious that
his children should occupy standing III
the community unsurpassed by any.
HIS photograph shows that he is hand
some man. His flowing blonde mOusiache,
clear.c,,t features, aud bright, piercing eyes,
pearsnce, sill very good-iooking fellow.
He dressed we'll aud fash'oDably. He bad
lois Of money. and II Is no, on record that
he was nigga, dly In bis expenditures. hi:
mannefs were certainly good. aud from ex-
ternal appearances be was thorough gen
ticman.
The story Of his escapade has aroused un
usual excitement among his fashionable as
soc,ates and scquaiataoces. who were very
much chsgrintd ut bis conduct.
F,om y New Orleans paper which ha;
fully discussed The matter, we learn that the
New Orleans club, bign social organIxs.
ton OF winch Howard was a member. will
fully investigate the matter aud take appro'
pirate action thereon.
II Is also thought that Howard confem
plated this result when he left Atlanta, ant
that when he reached New Orleans be pro
cuted confederate, who, over The sigma
ture OF very prominent ph,sisian, keL
Mrs. Boswell informed Of Howard's SUP
posed lines. In New Orleans all the tim
that that person was preparing for hi
eowardly fight.
The dispatches sent by this person are Il
the bands OF those who will ascertain
whether or not the person whose name

probably ascertain from the telegraph com
pany the name OF the person who did SEM
them. IL, however, the PHYSICIAN who's
