DINED WITH COL, HENDERSON.
Advised to Surrender
Camped Near Salem.


Col. w. f. Henderson, of Lexing-
ton, has an old scrap of paper on
which, in the colonel's own handwri-
ting, is the following:
april 10th, 1866. President Jeffer-
son Davis and General Gilmer; Quar-
termaster General Lawton; ]. c.
Breckenridge. Secretary Of war; Col.
Jno. Withers, assistant secretary;
Gen. Mallory, of the Navy: Col. John
son, son of Sidney, who fell at at Cor
intn; Secretary of State Benjamin,
with various others, all dined at w.
f. Henderson's for dinner. Held a
council of four hours under the shade
of the cedar and the President lay on
cedar for two hours and slept with
others of the cabinet. They then
camped at Berrier's Mills.
Colonel Henderson wrote the above
that day and has kept it among his
many bits of interesting history. He
says that the 10Th was Easter Sunday
and adds: 'After President Davis
had dined at my house, six miles from
Lexington, with all his cabinet, he
said to me: II see you are studying
law" I replied: YES" He then
asked me what thought best for him
to him to do. I replied to him that
he had better surrender right now.
HE then asked: "Would Stone
mans men not hang me?" I replied
that / would go to Salem and see Gen
eral Stoneman: that I had near rela-
tives in his army, and having been a
Union man myself, perhaps I might
have some influence with the general.
The President somewhat hesitated,
but afterward said that he thought
he would cross the Mississippi river
and set up a government on specie
basis.
ssThat night he and his cabinet
camped near Berrier's Mill on Alb
bott's creek. The President had with
him some 800 or 900 men.

HIS FATHER DROPPED DEAD
PECULIAR CASE DISCOVERED BY
 ORGANIZED CHARFTrES,

!
 Four-Tear-old Swedish Boy Brought to
 This City on Canal Boat-His Father
 Captain of the Boat, Dead on Bridgeport
 Beach-Unusualiy Sad Case.
 A peculiar case which affects this
 city. Bridgeport. and Stamford, was
 brought to light yesterday by Agent S.. o. Preston of the Organized Charities. Late Thursday evening four-year-olG boy was brought to the Charities build, ing from canal boat lying near Long wharf. The child was the son of John Peterson, captain of one of the canal boats plying between this city and New York. The boy could not speak Eng fish and was sent to the home of Rev. MT. Eustam, of the Swedish Lutheran church, where he spent the night ana to whom he told his story.
 Captain Peterson was in charge 0f one of tow of canal boats which left New York city several days ago, bound for this city. Wednesday night the boats anchored off Bridgeport and Cap- tain Peterson went ashore. During his absence the tow started off and arrived in this city Thursday evening. When the boats arrived here the boy was found on the boat with no one to take care of him, and consequently was turn4 ed over to the Organized Charities.
 Early yesterday morning Agent Pre$4 ton was notified that the body of C4p- tain Peterson had been found dead on the beach at Bridgeport Thursday night. With this as a clue to work On MT. Preston went to Bridgeport yesterA day morning, and after a. careful in- vestigation learned the following factsi
 For several years Captain Peterson had been running on the canal boat. In the summer his wife and children lived with him on the boat, and durinm the winter all managed to eke out a, precarious living in Stamford The family were very poor, and some time ago Mrs. Peterson was committed to the Stamford hospital. There were three children. one boy four years old, another about two years old and third a few months old.
 When Mrs. Peterson was committed to the hospital the two younger chiE- dren were sent to the home of Petep- sons sister, a Mrs. Swanson in Bridge- port, who has been since caring for them. The oldest child, four-years-old. the captain took with him on to the canal boat. Wednesday night the boat, which was loaded with coal for WIlliann Wells & Co.,, of this city, anchored off Bridgeport, and Captain Peterson took a row boat and went ashore to, see his sister and inquire about his family, leaving his four-year-old boy on the boat.
 After spending portion of the even- ing with his sister and children he re- turned to the beach, intending to re- turn to the canal boat. Here he was stricken with an attack of heart dis- ease and dropped dead on the beach.
 After learning these facts Agent Pres- ton decided to send the four-year-old boy to Bridgeport, where he was taken in charge by his aunt, Mrs. Swanson. All the parties concerned are Swedes, and are in poor circumstances. The Swedish congregation in Bridgeport is raising a purse to pay for the proper nterment of Captain Peterson's re- mains.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
The Bodies of 8 Man and Woman Found
 Near St. Louis.

| St. Louis, April 12.-Louis Frank and Miss Kolb, lovers, who lived in this city, died for love in a horrible manner before daylight this morning. Their bodies were found on Jacob Duffy s farm, a few miles west of the city. on the Walton road. In the right hand of the man was a revolver, and each was shot through the heart. Miss Kolb, beautiful young woman, lay stretch ed upon the ground with her throat cut from ear to ear Frank was lying face downward, with his right arm thrown across the woman's body. His throat was also cut. The knife covered with blood lay on the ground. At the feet of the bodies was an empty box labelled frat poison" The woman's hat lay crushed on the ground. Pinned to a ribbon was this note:
 April 9-We have both decided to die together, and if one or the other should happen to recover the other shall not be held responsible for the deed. We both are going to take poison, and
 
 ing this on account of any love affair, but simply because we do not want to live any longer. This Is all we have to say and hope there will be no trouble. We remain as ever,
 LOUIS FRANK 1893 Cherokee St.,
 MISS KATE KOLB.''
 The letter was written in ink and showed that the deed was carefully planned and the letter prepared before the couple left the city. The girls name was signed with lead pencil, prob ably after they reached the scene of the tragedy. There were traces of poison on the lips of both. After swallowing the poison they had gashed their throats with the knife, and then the man had made doubly sure by firing a bullet into the girls breast.
 He ended his own life in the same manner. Miss Kolb and Frank had been engaged for a year. They left home together last Wednesday. The girl left note saying that they were going to kill themselves and ascribing love as the cause. It Is learned that Kate, who was only seventeen years old, was in a delicate condition.
