THE EVENING CRITIC.
WHERE is HOWGATE7
Eumors. Facts, and Opinions About
the Gallant Captnin.
EsTABLIsHED ANGUISH, 1856,

The impression that Capt. Howgatc has
absconded grows stronger in the public mind
every day of his mysterious absence. He
left the day after giving bail in $4,000.
The Post this morning says he went away
with Miss Nellie Burrill, and that the two
register as Mr. and Mrs. Gates. Leaving
here on Wednesday week, no information
regarding their whereabouts has, it is said,
been received even by his counsel here
Messrs. L. G. Ingersoll and L. p. Cuppy,
the counsel for Capt. Howgate, have no APP
prehensions, and say he will come back
and face the music Mr.. Cuppy says How
gate is in New York on private business
and he expects him back every day.
One of Capt. Howgatc's bondsmen, Mr..
w. w. Mccullough, was seen by a reporter
of THE CRITIC this morning, and he says
that he does not feel in the slightest degree
alarmed at Capt. Howgatc's absence or for
the security of his bond.
"Do you believe the attachment will
hold? asked the reporter
~ am not q lawyer, but believe our Sc
curity is good What l depend on is his
return. l have been acquainted with Capt.
Howgatc and his family for seven or eight
years. / have always found him honest
and upright in every respect, and feel deep
sympathy with his family on account of the
trouble which has fallen upon him. went

/ believed he could do"
HDo you think, then, he will come back
here 2"
81 do. believe he will be here in less
than ten days to stand his trial.

thy for Mrs. Howgatc and her daughter
and will do anything I can to assist them
in this their hour of distress. If you news.
paper men would be little more consider.
ate as to their feelings your case or that
of the Government would not suffer, and
they would be saved much distress thereby
: A man is supposed to be innocent until he
is proven guilty; that is extended by the
e. law to the meanest criminal"
Our reporter next called at the estab.
lishment of w. b. Moses, another Of the
bondsmen, but he was not in, and not ex.
fpected until A Ip. IN. His son stated, how.
ever, that his father had held several in.
tervicws with Mr.. Mccullough, and the
views expressed in the above interview
with Mr.. Mccullough were those held by
Mr.. Moses.
Dr. Hartigan, after careful autopsy OF
Capt. Rants case to-day, reported that
death resulted from congestion Of the
liver.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, has, through its agent, Major
King, issued warrant for the arrest of
Henry Scott, night-liner of this city.
This man drove to his hack a large, cum
brous vehicle, two wretched looking horses
that had to be kept in their traces all the

hitched. A few nights ago one of them sue
cumbed to starvation and overwork, and
fell exhausted at Four.and-a half and L
streets southwest Scott unhitched him and
drove off with his other horse, leaving tn G
poor brute in the street, where he lay for
several hours, until daylight, when Sergeant
Hughes, of the police, discovered and dis
patched him with q pistol bullet. Scott has
not yet been apprehended, as he has under.
stood that an arrest would follow and has
left his house. The police are on the look.

Trying TO Buy the Virginia Midland
Railroad,

Some surprise was created at Richmond
yesterday, when it was rumored that the
Richmond & Danville Railroad otherwise
the Clyde syndicate, was negotiating for
the purchase of the Virginia Midland Rail-
road. The members OF the syndicate are
very reserved on the subject, but it is
known that Gen. J. NJ Logan, Vice-Presi-
dent of the Richmond & Danville Railroad
left for New York Tuesday, where the ne
gotiations ore now said to be pending. Col
Buford, President of the Richmond & Dan
vile road, said last night that any publica'
tion of the sale now would be premature
1t is asserted that the syndicate is backed
by $13,000,000, and that there is considerable
prospect of its being successful in purchas
ing the road.

Name her Lily, or Elaine.

The hazel still has power;

Seek other beauty's bower.

And given the right Reval iaoy ~
A name as pure % She's fair.

CHAPTER DISCONTINUED.
SINCE the death of Ethel, which
had happened some years before, his
father and mother had been search
ing for wife for Prince Reginald,
but they had found none, and they
were now exceedingly anxious to
find him a mate. He was a noble
young man; we'll versed in the learn
ing Of his day; skilled in all the man
ly pursuits and foremost of all the
young men in the chase. In the
jousts and tournaments of the time
he was generally victorious and he
showed his nobility of nature as
much by the generosity he displayed
in victory as by the equanimity with
which he bore defeat. Handsome in
form and feature he was the pride
of his parents and the envy of all
the young men of the kingdom. The
gentle maidens were in love with
him by the dozens, and as he passed
along he was followed by their signs
and admiring glances, but all to no
purpose. He was too high minded
to pretend love he did not feel, as
some young men nowadays do, and
as he could not marry them all, >he
had married none of them. Besides,
there was an insupera1 A4jection.
They all had names and since he
had been old enough to be told and
to understand the conditions upon
his existence, which had been i'm
posed by the good fairy, Purple Robe,
and Ethel, having meanwhile died,
he had resolved on his part to keer
faith with the fairy and to ~arry
only when he could do 30 apon the
conditions she had i~posed.
This resolutic~ of his had endear-
ed him to purple Robe, and she had
takeu nim under her protection and
.aad given him all the graces of char
acter and charms Of person that
made him facile princeps among all
the young men of that region. He
was beginning to seriously think Of
a wife, bat he did not understand
how he was to obtain nameless
maiden, nor did he know in what di.
rection to start to hunt for her. He
had not yet heard of the one in the
Snow White Palace, who was as anx'
ious for name as he was eager fol
wife.
AS Reginald was IN the forest one
day engaged in the chase, he met
Purple Robe, face to face, but he die
not know her. He was gentleman
however, and raising his hat, ht
stepped aside from the path for hel
to pass. She was not disposed tt
pass, and thus addressed him:
"Prince Reginald, I am Purple
Robe, the Fairy, and know of you
resolution to obey the conditions i'm
posed by meat your birth, and als'
of your perple1ity as to where t.
find such wife. I will help you
|ifyou will promise me to obey NJ.
further instructions.
