MURDERERS OF MRS. ELIISOR.
Spotted by Conductor Mccain and
Arrested by Sheriff Buford-Re-
turned to Columbia Yesterday.

An account Of the horrible murder
Of Mrs. Paul ID. Ellison, in, Lexington
county, just across the river from
Columbia and near New Brookland
on Wednesday morning, is published
i'll another column.
Sheriff Buford happened to be in
Columbia Wednesday afternoon and
was at the Gervias street depot wait
ing for the train to come on to New
berry. Detective Aberncthy came
to the train for Sheriff Duford and
asked him to go to Mr. Slull's store
and get description Of suit Of
clothes which he had sold to Mr.. FL
lisor, the coat Of which had been talk
Ell by the parties and also to get
from Mr.. Fox description Of the
negroes from whom he had bought
gun which turned out to be Mr.. Eli
sor's gun and which was taken from
his house that morning. Receiving
this description he boarded the train
for Newberry.
lt seems that the rc-rocs rs COM
pensation for the horrible murder
which was committed, received only
Il shot gun, which was sold within 4
mile Of the deed, for oae dollar, ana
Il coat which one of them wore.
iShcrilr Buford asked Conductor
Mccain, Of the c., n. 81 l.. freight,
to lok out if any suspicious charac-
ters boarded his train and if so to
nntify him, The sheriff.
When the train left Hilton.
station in Lexington county, Conduc-
tor MdCaia told the sheriff that he
thought that the two negroes wan:-
ed hal gotten on at that station.
Sheriff Buford then wcnr into the
negro coach and immedia:el arrest
ed the two negroes. who had gotten
on at Hilton. They gave conflicting
stories, Onc Of them claimed that he
was from Leaphart and the other
said that ne was from I.aurcns. Up
on searching them Sheriff Buford
| found upon The person OF one a num-
hcr of cartridges, IA house key, which
was probably the key or Mr. Et'iG/'r s
house, as it appears that after mur'
deriug Mrs. Ellison they locked the
door and took the key away. He also
found on this same negro small
'ocket and a watch chain. On the
! other he found razor, four or five
handk ercl>iefs and one or two. little
chains. They claimed to be coming
to Prosperity, and it turns ont that
both Of them are brothers and live
in the community of Prosperity.
OF course both denied very Stout
" any connection with or any know
lclce of the killing Of Mrs. Ellison.
Sheriff Buford told them that the pco-
pie Of the community were very much
wrought up over the murder and
that if they were caught by the citiz-
nns and there was any suspicion of
their guilt they would probably be
dealt with summarily and if they
would tell him the truth about the
matter and whether or not they wer,
connected with it he would see that
they were taken cara of and kept out
of the hands of those in the commun-
ity. who would probably lynch them
if caught. They still denied any con-

answered in the two negroes he had

wore, and he therefore handcuffcd

berry and Immediately telcphoned

goes answering the description Of
| those wanted.
Mr.. M. l.. Fox, the merchant at
New Brookland, who bought the gun
and Detective Abernethy came to
Ncwberry early yesterday morning.
One of the negroes then admitted
his connection with the crime and
! said that he was going to tell the
| truth and that he and the other ne
gro were brothers and that they We're
at CacyS early "Wednesday morning
and that his brother went in the
house and killed Mrs. Ellison while
! he stood on The outside and watched.
The negroes gave their names at Ned
Toland and Brack Toland, and they
appear to be between sixteen and
twenty wears Of age. Brack said he
was sixteen and Ned claimed to be
twenty-three.
Sheriff Buford turned the negroes
over to Fox and Abbcrnethy AMI dep
utized them to take them to the pen
itentiary for safe keeping and took
from them the following receipt:
"Reccivcd Of Sheriff NJ. NJ. Blu

he had twb negroes arrested and
would holA them until some one
could come up and identify them. lie
did this as Il precaution to avoid a
Ivnchiny as it is understood that the
people of the community ara very

has no doubt that The two negroes
that he arrested are the ones who
committed the deed, not only from
the confession Of one Of them but
from the description and the identl-
(ication of Mr.. Fox that these two
bows are the ones from whom the
gun was purchased and further that
the description given by Mr.. Shull
of the coat. which ne sold to Mr. lIl-

NOT HIS FAULT.

Mr.. Bryan fell far below his customary level
of discretion and courtesy when he said some
where in Nebraska the other day that, how
ever it might be with other panics, there was
one which his election would Create-"a panic
''in the Taft family, for Mr. Tafts federal sal
''ary will be withdrawn for the first time in
more than twenty years" The sting in that
remark is the covert suggestion that there is
something reprehensibIe in having drawn a
salary from the federal government for more
than twenty years.
Yet If it Is reprehensible to draw federal
salary 1t is equally reprehensibe to seek to
draw one In the eighteen years since Mr..
Bryan entered public life he has earnestly en-
deavored to hold federal offices and draw fed
eral salaries. He was Representative in Con
gress for four years and was colonel of
United States Volunteers for nearly year. He
has been standing candidate for United States
Senator from Nebraska and three times a can
didate for President. 1t is hard to find single
two-year period between 1890 and 1893 in which
he did not have plans afoot for attaining fed
eral office. 1t is certainly not his fault if he
is not in e position in which a failure at the
polls will cause panic IN his family and COM
pei him to look to other than offceholding activ-
tiles for daily support
