A MEMORAELE TRAGEDY.
(I Orm Out of tliv Liiat Great glare
Ani'llnn In Tulft Cuunlrjr.
Thd lii-it inrul nitr e nuctlou held In
(bis oniutry occurred Just a year and
half before the wnr In O tolwr, 1S58
-nt the ruco track lu Savannah. The
slaves were the property of Pierce
Butler, a pli'turetMiio and prominent
Qgure at that day in Philadelphia so
ciety, who Is today only remembered
as buvlitg Ix-on the husband of Fanny
Keuiblo, tlio actress, reader and au
thor. Ilia family name was Mease, but
ho Inherited a fortune in lands and
slaves from his grand fa her, Majot
Pierce Butler of South Carolina, on
condition that he should take the lat
tcr's uame.
Butler's Inveterate passion for gam
bllng got him into financial difficulties.
It la said that be lost $20,000 on a bui
gle band four deuces against four
frlngs held by his opponent s
Finally, to meet bin losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were OSS of thorn in all. The sale took
two days and netted $303,850. Butler
bad chosen a good time to sell. A year
later bis negroes would not have been
worth a dollar a head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
It not been announced as one of the
conditions that no division of families
wonld be permitted; hence In order tc
secure a good slave buyers often had
to take with them Infirm or aged reia
Uvea. Out of this limitation grew a
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a well
known VIcksburg trader, bought at the
sale man, his two sisters and bis
wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated. Disregarding
this, Pate sold the sisters, ope to Pa
Boiuers, a brother trader, and the oth
er to a resident of St. Louis. Wkat
legal rights a negro had In the south
were well protected. Somers was told
of the guarantee, and he sent the girl
back to Pate and demanded his money
A quarrel was the result, and Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later Lit
nephew killed Pate and died frou;
wounds received. The feud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
of Pato was wiped out, and then tlit
war liberated the sisters. New Tors
