h makes the narrative a pecu-
,:trly interesting contribution to the
i.story of the great tragedy and the
wift retribution which followed it.
Lincoln was shot in Ford's theatre.
.Washington, the night or Ootid Fri-
day (April 14), 1865. It was in the
I second scene of the third act of "Our
| American cousin," in which I.aur.
I Keene was taking a benefit. Hooi.h.

thought of questioning ijti wlcn he
: made his way around tie rear of the
! dress circle to the passage leading to
the President's box. A few minutes
! later a pistol shot startled the house.
I The President's head fell forward on
i his breast.
A man—John Wilkes Booth—leaped
from the box to the stage. Ac he
- landed his spurs caught in the folds
| of an American flag used in the decora-
i tions. Ho fell, breaking his left leg.
but managed to regain his feet, turn

| familiar to him, mount a horse held

gro driver refused to take them lur-

I I has stated that Booth was in a pit-la*
hie condition. His broken leg had
been rudely bandaged in pasteboard
splints, and was so swollen that it
seemed to Ruggies that nothing short
of eventual amputation could save his
life. These men saw him cross the
river and as far as the Garrett farm,
some three miles distant
THE
PICTURE.
That very morning In Washington
Lieutenant Edward P. Doherty of the
Sixteenth New York cavalry received
orders to take twenty-flve men and
.scour the Rappahannock district, lie
reached Fort Conway the following day
and showing Booth's picture to son;"
women in the houso of the owner of
ihe ferry, he judged from their look >
that they had seen him cross there
not so very long before.
That night at Bowling Green, Lieu-
enant Doherty looted Booth at the
iarrett farm, ascertained that he an
rowd was minus a horse or two
with which to cross Ging George to
the Potomac, and while Mr. Mason was
elaborately discussing the wound, etc.,
his horses were objects to be coveted.
One of the party, not one of the sol-
diers, remarked with an apparent sigh
of relief "We'll take one of this mail's
chances or escape by Including this horses." Mr. Mason, forgetting his
neck of marshes, creeks and gulches dignity, exclaimed. "I'll be damned if
in his route. Henc e, strangers passing you or any other man on God's Green

is not without some interesting his-
tory. It is not only one of the oldest
j villages in Virginia, and was not only
federate service, started to Caroline j
county, on the south side ot the Hap-1
pahannock, for the purpose of pun has-1
ing a wagon. Arriving at the ferry j
at Port Conway, Mr. Mason unexpect-
edly met his acquaintances. Messrs. j
Ruggies, Bainbridge and Jett. With,
them and amomng others about the
ferry was a stranger who attracted I
his attention by a colnstantly and re-
markably maintained reticence.
There was nothing about Harold, the
other strancer, to attract his attention i
and he soon lost sight of hi
reticent, yet restless and p<
bery, that Mr Mason examined the
• wound in Booths head. A few years
from that spot was the scene of thO
spirited conversation between Mr. Ma-
won and the man who proposed to tak*
one of his horses.
The Rappahannock river is less than
half a mile wide at Port Conway, and
directly opposite this village is Port
Royal, in Caroline county, which en-
joys the distinction of being one of
the oldest towns in. the United States,
antedating Philadelphia and the oHier
larger cities of the country.
HISTORICAL FERRY. A
The ferry boat in which Booth and
party crossed the Rappahannock and
the ferry franchises at that place be-
longed to Mr. William Rollins who died
a little more than a year ago. The
"Port Conway ferry" had been in ep-
eration many years when the civil war
broke out. It wan for man\ genera-
It ions the only ferry ou.tho Rappahan-
nock river, except the one at Freder-
icksburg some thirty mi/>s above..
Hence Booth had to make the long
circuitous route from Hooe's neck to
Port Conway, having been Informed
It is supposed that at no other point
could he find facilities for crossing the
Rappahannockln to Caroline county.
Since It has been said that Mr. B.
It. Ruggies, one of Ihe gentlemen who
happened to cross the Rappahannock
with Booth Is survived by no very near
relatives it may be proper to add here
p(hat his brother. Major Edward S.
Ruggies, Is still living and Is one of
Ihe most prominent clticns and garl-
curiBts of King George county. IT
was for hears prnmin-V in politics
and public affairs and for a few years
he repreclmted inn Georgs and Stafford
counties In the general assembly <>f
Virginia.
There stands now a persimmon tree
on the hanks of Gambo creek, a short
distance from the home of Mrs. E. R.
Quesenberry, on Machodoc creew, and
some of the old citizens of that commu-
nity declare that Booth and Harold
left their boat moored to that tree
when they started across the country
In a wagon toward Port Con stray. The
wheels of the rickety spri*. wa.vog in
which Booth and Harold traveled from
Hooe's neck to Port Conway occupies
a corner In an old blacksmith shop in
ing George Countyj. Several years af-
ter the close of tiie war this black-
smith shop kas operated by an old col-
ored man who always said that, the
wheels were In the shop when he took
charge of It, and so superstitious wi>
he that he would never touch them.
So they remained, dust covered and
decaying in that corner as long as ih •
old man lived.
What has become of them after his
death is not known It is believ<-d
that they were consumed by a fire
which destroyed a part of the old shop
a few years ago.
