The Mystery Of Lincoln's Tomb.

A Washington special to the Chicago
Herald says: There is a mystery surround
ing the tomb Of Abraham Lincoln. Seve-
raj years ago an attempt was made by
graye-robbers TO steal the body. Elmer
Washburn was chief Of the secret service
at the time. He put men on guard for
three weeks, and one dark night, by the aid
OF bulPs-eye lantern, the thieves were
caught in the very act of violating the
grave. The attempt made great sensa-
ton. The grave is not guarded, so far as
any human eve can see, vet ii is protected.
Secretary Lincoln said the other day that
he was absolutely certain that the remains
Of his father could never be stolen. After
the first attempt, sure means Of protection
were employed. The secret Of this security
j. only known to three people. When the
friends OF the late General Garfield think
the guard over his tomb has been maintain
cd long enough, Colonel Rickwell will be
entrusted with the protection Of the tomb
Of Abraham Lincoln.

The Charlotte Journal Observer says ::
Yesterday was lively day along the Caro-
lima Central railroad between this city and
LaurinbuTg. and the passengers who ar
rived on the evening train were laden
with reports Of accidents and crimes. Two
shooting accidents occurred in Monroe,
one OF which will, in all probability, prove
fatal. Both were the result OF careless
handling Of pistols.
4 party Of Young girls. among whom
was Miss Rebecaa West, daughter OF Town
Marshal West, were PLAYING with pistol
i'm the presence Of Mr.. l.. c. EdgewOrth,
and little Miss West was handling the
weapon. when sharp report rang out. and
Mr.. Edgeworth fell TO the floor, with the
blood streaming from his forehead. An
examination showed that the bullet enter
ed his forehead directly between the eyes
and lodged in the back II bis head. The
accident occurred IN the forenoon, and
when the train left Yesterday the unf0rtu-
nate man was still in an unconscious con-
ditiOn.
\ second shooting accident, but a less
serious one, occurred in Monroe at about
the same time. Jimmie Price, little son OF
Sheriff Price. was playing with pistol,
when il went off accidentally. Henry Pus-
ser. colored man. standing conveniently
near. received the bullet in his leg.
At Rockingham a very serious aflray oc-

white man was not hurt, but the colorcd
man Jared badly. \ heavy stroke OF the
knife cleft his abdomen IN twain, making
wound through which the intestines pro-
truded. Medical aid was procured, and
the wounded man received the best treat
ment possible, but grave fears are enter
tanned that his injuries will terminate
fatally.

WOMAN FOR MANY YEARS.

BURIAL or MAN WHO WAS PURSUED BY A
WOMAN FOR MANY YEARS.
A Louisville telegram says The remains
Of Major John X. ThrockmOrton were
brought to this city Tuesday. HIS name
is connected with a strange story. He was
Of wealthy family, his father, Christopher
Throckmorton, being on associate Of Henry
Clay. His life was blighted from his earli-
est manhood by an unparalleled perse-
cutiOn. No man knows when or how
he wronged Ellen Goodwin, but for
five and twenty years she followed him
wherever he went. She was beautiful in
her youth. and even in her old age was not
unattractiye. She was known in this city
"a ThrockmortOn's ghost. In all kinds Of
weather she followed him. He fed to Eu.
rope, and she logged him through the
streets Of Paris, and watched him from be-
hind the ruins Of Rome. He had her ar
rested for insanity here, but she was dis
charged.
She died few years ago, and ordered a
history which she had written OF her trou-
bic to be buried with her. Throckmorton
died some time ago, alone and deserted, in
ruined hut on Mississippi plantation.
In bis last moments he is said TO have been
possessed with the idea that Ellen Good
win was stlll shadowing him. He was
buried In the family vault, and his funeral
was well attended.
