mysterious character. Th old man was
found wandering around the union de
pot about 3 o'clock this morning, In
an stmlcss manner, by Patrolman
Florence. The officer risked him what
he was doing and bis answer was un
satisfactory. Aftr conversing with him
for a short time, the officer became
convinced that he was demented and
that he would be safer and mitre com
fortable in ttie the station house. No
cose was enteretf against him oa tie
was only taken there as a place of ref
uge.
JJefore he had been ".eng In the sta
tion (juuse, the old man had a had fit.
Turnkey Cooper did What he could
for him and he seemed to get easier,
but albout 7 o'clock he had
another fit. He was seen by a reporter
and asked about himself. He an
swered in a rambling fashion, but final
ly stated that hla name was F. H.
CwiuuiuH. lie uli3 rented that lived
on Pine street. This tatter vlatement
Is thought to he a mistake, however,
as the city directory shows Du such
person on Pine street. He was proba
bly thinking of tome friend who lives
on Pino street when he made the scate-
roent. He alto paid that lio had four
wves. His conversation tho wed that
he was in a demented condition.
During the morning he had a few lucid
moments. He stated to Call Officer Ab
bott and Turnkey Oattanhcr that he had
two daughters going to school In this
city or one of its suburbs. He also stated
that he had been In Atlanta for three
months and had come here from Mem
phis or Nashville. He was asked If he
hod been drinking and said that he had
not taken a drink since yesterday morn
ing. During the morning the officers gave
him two drinks.
When it was found that he was grow
ing worse Dr. Harris was aent for. Af
ter examining him Dr. Harris said the
man was In a bad condition and should
be sent to the hospital. Preparations to
remove him to the hospital were being
made at the time of hla death. Before
noon th* old gentleman had five flta He
died during the last one. Just before hla
death two other prisoners catted for help,
as tho old man was In a bad condition.
Turnkey Gallagher and Call Officer Tyser
responded. He was placed on a bunk In
Cell No. 5 and the officer* did everything
In their power to relieve him. but to no
avail. He died seemingly without mffer-
Ing any pain. After his death he waa
searched and It was found that he had
given bis right name. F. H. Coleman.
Ijettcrs addressed to him at MUlcdgevllIe
were found la his pockets. It N
from different papers found In his pock
ets that he. was a cotton seed buyer.
Among his papers wa3 a statement from
Samuel Evans of Mlltcdgevllle showing
that he had cold 1*7.54 worth of cotton
seed for Coleman. There were In hla
pockets several letters from It. II.

I have seen somethin}; albout toe diffi
culties In a large portlou of'tha towns
rind villages of tits state, but us yet
I have heard nothing of any fight* In
old Berrien, although she has a number
cef villages and railroad towns within
her borders. Everything has passed off
quietly with each day. rind most people
seem to be In a good humor with the
world at large. Christmas came In
with very warm, pleasant weather,
which lasted for two or three days;
then the extreme cold caught the folks
aod kept them bugging their firesides
for several day*, m Is somewhat warm
er now, yet cold enough to be unpleas-
’ant. Gardens have been literally frozen,
out, and gandener* will have to com-
Irave (wen killed for this mason, und
me nee again as soon ns good weather
comes around. The l int of the hogs
have been killed for this season, and
farmera can’t complain of not having
cold weather enough to wave It.
Tomorrow will usher In toe new year,
rind the people will all commence tt in
good shape, and If they are economical
nnd diligent and have favorable sea
son they will be among the most In-
dependent of the South at the end of
the year.
