A Nashville Electric woman

By invitation of Colonel Christian,
her agent and manager, DR.. Hender-
son, Captain Moore, V. L. Ware ESQ.,,
and The editor OF the Exchange, yes
terday witnessed a private exhibition
OF Mrs. Colemsn's marvellous power
over animate and insnImate objects.
She IS an attractive, refined, amiable
ana handsome lady, In the prime of
lie, ana altogether most charming
person to meet In the parlor or in pub
lio, She was born in France, but
came 10 America when an infant, and
has lived 10 or IL years in Nashville
and Atlanta, A little more than
one year ago sho discovered
that she possessed the re-
msrkeblo powers that Miss Lula
Hurst has, and on trial, convinced the
public that her talent, force of cleo
tricity, or whatever the mysterious
possession Is, WAS even greater than
that OF Miss Hurst. DR.. Henderson
and the other gentlemen who wit
qessed aud tested her strength, are
unable to explain 1t, but they arc fully
convinced that abe can and does per-
form everything she is advertised to
do. In our presence she easily lifted
chair on which Captain Moore (who
weighs 22i pouuds) sat, by merely
pressing her hands against the chair
posts. This writer took up clnir,
8rssping it firmly, aud press
nag II against his cody.
She placed her left hand
on the seat Of the chair, and her right
maud on its back, whom sho had us all
dancing around IN q moment, finally
throwing us sprawling over a trunk
iuto another room, completely van
quished. Tho other gentlemen tried
the same experiment, but mono OF
them could Withstand her strength,
and Captain Moore was thrown around
the room like child. The four gen-
tlomen also took the chair up, grasp
iDg it firmly, aud exerted their ut
most strength TO press 1t 20 the ll9or,
Nhi'o she merely placed her
hands on II and held iG up in
tbs air against their united strength,
without iatiguiDg herself in tho least.
| Each gentleman took strong stick
and pressed one ond Of IL on the floor,
throwing his weight on IL and trying
| to Keep II there. She merely pressed
her hands against the sides of the
stick and easily raised IL up against
tho men. Another remarkable test
was when Captain Moore held an um-
brolla in his hands, whllo she stood
balansod on one foot ana placed her
hands against the umbrella, he push
ing with his whole strength aud great
weight against her, without throwing
her or her balance. Sue will probably
remain in Milan sorveral weeks

WACO, Aug. o. Especial - The
county commissioners of this county
will meet tomorrow, and much in
torest Is manifested as to what they
will do with tho two local option pati-
tions which will be presented to them.
One is from the citizens OF Waco, pray
ing for vote in Waco, alone, ON the
question of local option. There is no
conoealment that this is q movement
to defeat prohibition, for Waco is op.
posed TO the measure, gnd this Ia de-
signed to get q vote on IL before the
rural vote can be brought into line to
over-slough Waco's vote. The anti
local optionsts contend that il this pc
tion is granted, and tho city defeats
local option, another election cannot
be ordered within a year. The other
petition ia Il prayer for ayote of the
whole county, including Waco. This
is gotten up by the people who really
want local Optlon IN Waco ana the
whole county, and they rely on the
granger vote to help them win. No
body knows how the commissioners
will decide, and each side says if Its
prayer is not granted IL VIII go TO
The courts with mandamuses, in
functions and all sorts OF legal meth
DDS for justice. II the whole county
votes on the same day Waco does John
Bsrleycorn will have close rub. Left
tJ herself Waco will stand by the
liquor traffic. Each side win have
legal counsel to represent its case be-
fore the commissioners.
Burglars are working the city. They
raided the residence of George Helm,
rosdmaster Of the Texas IL st. Louis,
last evening, and got over 5000 worth
OF jeWelry. The family were all on
the premises at the time.

Burglary i'm West Haven.

A burglary was committed recently at the residence of Mir. E. H. Somers, 6 wealthy man doing business in New York city and residing on Elm street, West Haven, at Wards corner. Part of the goods taken have been recovered The amount taken was less than $2O0 in value. The affair is surrounded in mystery Detective Reilly has been work ing the case up for some time. A report that the goods were found at MT. Engel's on State street appears incorrect. Nothing was found there except $s0 diamond ring on which $1O had been loaned. This was re- covered yesterday by MT. Somers, senior, on payment of the $10 loaned. The ring was pawned by young business man named James Mullen, who has been in the boot and shoe business in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was friend of the family and an intimate friend of the oldest son, who returned g. couple of weeks ago from San Francisco, California Mir. Mullen was guest of the Somers residence for several weeks and left for the West a short time ago. The affair of the ring is not considered of any account by the family who have taken little interest in the case since learning of the pawning of the ring. Some goods were sold at Church street store, not long since, to be melted up for old gold, which it is surmised came from the Somers residence.
