surrounded in his last moments by sor-
rowing friends whose hearts were touched
with sympathy for the forlorn condition
of the stricken one. The primary cause
of his death was from the effects of in
halations from mining operations,
commonly called ''leaded." He had been
sick less than a week, and it was not un-
til Sunday last that his condition was
thought 10 be critical. Notwithstanding
the skillful efforts of his attending ply
sicians and the kind ministrations of
many friends, the disease continued to
wear away the system. His sufferings
were intense-so great, it is thought, as
to give him brain fever. His condition
became worse as the few hours passed,
and on Monday he became unconscious.
Tuesday evening he rallied so much that
faint hopes of his recovery were enter
tanned, but hope in few hours gave
way to despair, and all felt that his hour
of death had come. In his room and
surrounding his bedside stood his COM
| panions and friends who with sorrowing
hearts witnessed his demise. During
| his last illness he shared the apartment
Of his friend Geo. Il. German, between
whom and himself friendship existed
| through many years and was strength
ened by mutual acts of kindness toward
each other. His remains were properly
coffined and before theh our forthe funer-
al numbers called to take last look at
the features of one they had so much
esteemed in life. The funeral service
was held at the Episcopal Church--Rev.
Henry L. Badger officiating and con-
Quoting the solemn and impressive buri-
al service of that denomination. In Mr..
Badgers remarks he spoke of the even
temper, the mild nature and goodness of
heart of the deceased-qualities which
had sndeared him to all with whom he
came in contact. The body was then
borne to the cemetery, followed by a line
of Borrowing friends, who were paying
the great respect due by the living to
the dead. Not only in Phoebe, but in
other camps on this coast where he was
known, will his death be lamented by
sincere friends. The relatives of the
deceased will be consoled in their great
bereavement to know that kind friends
were unremitting in their attentions to
him and did all in their power to allie
viate his sufferings; that he leaves
behind him not an enemy, but the eY-
ample OF pure life and unsullied repu-
tation, and career dignifed by fidelity
and ennobled by exalted friendship.
| DANGER OF F1RE.-A little carelessness
about the adjustment of a stove-pipe,
and failure to heed the admonitions of
the Fire Warden, may lead to disastrous
results. We maintain that no man has
right to be Indifferent about the safety
of his own property from fire, if it's de-
struction would endanger the property Of
others. If, without corporation, there
can be no law to compel people to adjust
stove-pipes and use proper precautions
in regard to fire, then we insist that the
incorporation should be obtained in the
shortest time possible, and that the local
authorities enact an ordinance for the
adequate punishment Of such as may
| disregard the dictates of ordinary pru,
dence, where the interests of the whole
community are so much at stake. Until
( the proper law can be procured, there il
no way to deal with the perverse indi
, vidual who won't use ordinary care, but
persists in endangering his own property
and that of his neighbors, bnt to expose
his perverse spirit and hold him to &C
countability at the bar of public opinion
We have been requested to call the at
, tention of the proprietor of the Wilman
House to the dangerous condition of hi
stove-pipe, which requires joint or tive
: more in order to make it safe. W,
: make this suggestion in no unkind spirit
: but insist that the proper corrective b.
applied at once. A fire in that quartz
: would be very destructive, and in fac
would endanger the whole town.
