Dr. Abbott was stricken with paralysis last winter and was desperately 111 for weeks and hi? life was despaired of at the time. He finally rallied and regained a meas? ure of health and strength and was able to go to Glenn Springs, where he spent a month. Soon after returning home he had another stroke of pa? ralysis from which he never rallied. Dr. Abbott was a native of Sumter county and was seventy-one years of age. In early manhood he was a member of the faculty of the King's Mountain Military Institute when it urea conducted by the late Gen. Micah Jenkins and Col. Cowaid. At the out I reak of the war he left the school room and entered the army, In which he served with conspicuous gallantry Until the surrender at Appomattox. His comrades say he was one of the bravest and most fearless soldiers in the army and ever ready for the most hazardous duty. At the close of the war he returned home and took up the practice of dentistry to which he devoted himself with a zeal and ener? gy that brought success. His income was invested in lands and at the time I I his death he had large and valu? able holdings in Sumter, Lee and Wil liamsburg counties. He retired from the active practice of his profession about ten years ago and a few years later removed from his home in the country to this city to spend his declining years. Dr. Abbott took an active interest in public affairs and during the recon? struction era did his full duty. In 1H90 he wus put forward as a candi? date for the State Senate by the re? form faction and after an exciting contest was seated and served as the representative of Sumter county in the upper house of the legislature for one term. He is survived by his wife and sev? eral adopted children. He had no children of his own, but to a number of orphans he was a kind and gen? erous benefactor, giving them' the care that a father would have given. The funeral services were held Mon? day at 11 o'clock at Rembert church, Of which he was a member for many years. I'axville. Sept. 6.- Mrs. H.

The sad Intelligence >d* the death of Capt. W. E. Zeigler at his home in Orangeburg at 5:30 o'clock Friday morning was received in the city that day. Capt. Zelgler was injured in a runaway accident last Sunday and his death was not unexpected. He was for a number of years a resident of Sumter and had many friends in this city. He came to Sumter when the C. S. & N. railroad was built and was with that company as conductor un? til it was absorbed? by the Atlantic Coast Line. He remained with the Atlantic Coast Line for a year or more and then went into the hotel business, succeeding the late M. F. Nixon as proprietor of the Nixon House. For the past few years he has been in the hotel business in Or angeburg. Capt. Zelgler is survived by his wife, two daughters and two sons. His eldest daughter is Mrs. E. A. Uultman of this city. BURGLARY THURSDAY NIGHT. Mr. R. I. Manning's Residence Rob bed During Absence of Family. The residence of Mr. R. I. Manning was entered by a burglar Thursday night, who effected an entrance through a window. The burglar ran? sacked the hoase from top to bottom and deposited the articles that he col? lected in a pile on the floor of the hall, where they were found by Mr. Manning when he returned from Co? lumbia on the 7:20 train. The bur? glar had evidently been frightened while ransacking the house and left hurriedly without stopping to earn the goods collected. He did not go empty handed, however, for Mr. Man ring found a silver fork on the ground ber.oath the open window, u ooon in the yard and another fork .it the fence over which the thief had .lumped in his flight. Mr. Manning is unable to determine exactly what was taken from the house, for he does not know how much silver was left in the sideboard when the family went to their sum? mer home at Saluda several weeks ago. The loss may have been con iderable, or the burglar may have se? cured only a few articles. The robbery was committed during the night for the electric light in the lining room had been turned on by the robber and it was still burning when the robbery was discovered next morning.
