RECOVERED HIS VALISE.
Col. Coleman Slept on the Train.-A Detective's
AVorJc.
I
Col. R. L Coleman, th2 widelvknown
contractor, was on the train
cotnii-g from Union April 29. Becoming
sleepy he jointed up his legs until
he was in as comfortable a position as
is possible in a car and then went to
slct p. His valise was occupying another
seat, as r^e colonel was utilizing
his to its :w!iettt extent. At Alston a
negro e;;te-cd the car at one end and
walked thr ngh. When he left at the
/ vtv.a-1. hfk vmrt phiotipi
valis.\ It was not missed until the
j trained reached this city. Since then
j a detective hits been working on the
! case, and with success. Lin Hcnderj
son was caught with the valise at
! Pacolet and yesterday brought to this
j cit> by Sheriff Ellison, ot Winnsboro.
Early this morning Henderson was
taken up to the Fairfield County jail
and later will be tried. lie claims

AXME ABBOTT'S POWEK.
A inie Abbott g8ve an exhibition of
her wonderful p:^er> in the Thespian
ball on Thursday and Fiiday nights.
Of its kind, the people of "Winnsboro
have never seen ain thing more wonderful.
What is tie secret of her
power cm not be explained. If it is
a mere "'trick," it is still wonderful, j
tor it would be a remarkable feat to J
trick so many intelligent peop;e. lie;tests
show c inclusively that it is not
physical i-treugth. Ti;c first thing she
did was to ask some one to i:o!d a chair
in front of them. Mr. G. JI. McMaster
tried i.r, and a? soon as her
hand touched the chair it was beyond
Mr. McMaster's power to hold it in
iis position. It was the same thing
with Mr. J. Q Davis. Neither could
Messrs. E. W. Il-mnahan, J. D. McCarley,
J. E. Coan and others, who

was in contact with them,, although
noimaliy she weighs very little.
Numerous tests of her power were illustrated.
Mr. J. Q. Davis could not
rai?e little Kit McMaster off the floor
while Annie Abbott placed her hand
gently on Kit's hand. One phenomenon
is that by wrapping a silk handKerchief
around a gkss and placing
the gla.cs on the back of her neck, a
distinct thumping noise is heard a'l
over the hall.

calmly and;peacefnlly was the passing
of a long and n-eful life so long identified

Mr. Elliott was a kind, gentle and
s\ mpathetie man, and full of charity.

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MR.
HEXRY L. ELLIOTT, SR.
Left standing long, that all might see
in thee,
A work of grace complete,
Then garnered in, when for the sicklc
ripe,
A sheaf of golden wheat.
"Who once had felt the pressure of thy
hand,
And jailed to rccognize
The genial current of the soul respond,
The grasp to emphasize.
XUB pUUX'j liJCli IICCU) 1UJUUV.VITU
brought.to thee,
Not empty, turned away,
The weak and erring learned to lean
on thee,
And found a willing stay.
At every hearth thy kindly sympathies
Thou gave with equal zest.
And youth, and age, alike, by wisdom
taught,
Revered an honored guest.
The storms all weathered, and the temrtGSfc
nass'd.
Thy stately barque sailed into port at
last;
No hidden rocks he fears, or Ireach'rous
gale,
As, from the land, he views the idly
flapping sail
Elis weary limbs dismiss the sturdy
oar,
And toils aLd dangers vex his soul no
mcro.
