 Wood Coleman, a New Orleans drummer, a son-in-law of Mr. John Chaffe, of
that city, committed suicide at Fayette, Miss., last Monday.  He had gone
there to look after a succession of his father’s.  No cause for his rash act
is assigned.  He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his untimely end.
