DEATH OF ABx nDGINGrON.

The life Of Abe Edgington foated out
with tue ebb tide upon the Unknown Sea
yesterday morning. His many friends
were expecting his final departure, and
none were surprised when this news was
flashed over the wires from Sacramento,
| where Abe songht his last resting place
on earth. II lie u, uL.. hitting toll,
constant devotion to duty, "a keen sense
! of honor that acknowledged all rightful
obligations, and possessing hand tina.
Charity never appealed to in vain con-
stitutss a great life then Abe Edgineton's
WAS one, and now that it has passed
away from us forever we shall be the
| more conscious of the great loss We have
sustained the longer we linger behind
him. All OF MS know that Abe Edgine-
ton has occupied a position Of great trust
and responsihility-thato of Snperiutsnc-
ent Of the Union Mill and Mining Com
pany-since its organization. His e.
pacity Was undoubted, and his admins
tra,ion of the affairs OF the company
exhibited remarkable fidelity and great
adaptability to the duties Of his office. |
He performed almost herculean labors |
long after the disease which carried him |,
of had made itself definitely known to |
him. He had been aware for years that |
pulmonary consumption had marked |
him for his own, and declared that there
was nothing known to tho ntdteri1 med
tcd which could save him. He had been
in the hab!: Of converSing With his init
mate friends in this way for the last few
years Of his life but" he woald add,

AN going sway from you one of these
days, that should not work in the mean.
time. And be did his work thoroughly
unhl few months past, when he r..
signed his position aud successor was
appointed IN his place. All of the frisnds
OF poor Abe know something Of his SUI
ierlngs for the past few months; have
watched his gradual decline and have
perhaps comphmeEtsd him upon his i'm
proved appearance. when We knew that
he was rapidly passing away But none
OF these congratulations chsered him in
the least, for be knew far better than all
others that he Was approaching the end
OF life s journey. And now that he 10
gone there is vacancy in many hearts.
There IS one in the heart of the true and
devoted wife he has left behind in the
heart of his beloved step-daughter in
he heart of his half-brother, Frank Nc
cullough, and in that OF his half sister,
Mrs. Hamilton. and in those Of the thou
sands of living men and women who ,
Knew and loved and honored Abe Edg-
ngton. The remains OF deceased will
'e brought back to Storey county for
inal interment- Mr.. Edgington was a
Mason and had received its highes. de-
,ree, that of Knight Templar. The e.
eem In which he was universally held !

on WAS 4 native of Steubenville, Ohio.
nd that his age was about forty-sevsn

Negro Funeral i'm Alabama.

What the negroes call funeral sermon
is usually preached many weeks, some.
times months, after a man is dead. Ii is
usual to announce these addresses num-
Der OF days in advance, and very often
service is held for ten or dozen dead
brothers or sisters at the same time.
This is the rule in the cities and towns of
North Alabama, but in the country dis.
trlcts of the lower portion of the State,
where churches and ordained preachers
are not plenty, the dead are inferred with
rude ceremony that is exceedingly i'm
pressive. While visiting gentleman liv-
ing on a remote plantation in Montgomery
county, | witnessed burial service Of
this kind. At a little before nightiall,
all the negroes, men.wOmen and children,
on the plantation, assembled around the
cabin OF the dead man. lie was a widow
er, and chlldless, and had died alone.
When they were all gathered together,
two old men, friends of the deceas ed, went
into the hut and carried out the rough.
pine coffin containing the body. They
then placed themselves silently at the
head of the negroes, who, in the mean
time, had formed themselves into line.
"a
proceeded to an adjoining wood. When
they arrived at the edge of the grave it
was quite dark, and number Of pine
torches were lit and several men carrying
them went in front of the procession. la
this way they marched through the wood,
singing slow, mournful hymn, the re-
frain of which was
''Yes, Massa, he's a-cOmil'
Comm fast to join the host'
After passing through the wood they
came out upon small clearing which
was slightly elevated. Here a grave had
been dug. The coffin was placed beside
it and the torches thrown into heap of
dry pine wood which had been previously
collected. As the fire blazed up, tho
negroes gathered around the open grave
and listened with rapt attention to an old
man who, III a few simple words, prayed
for the soul Of their dead friend. Then
the coffin was lowered into the shallow
grave, and as the earth was thrown upon
it, the negroes unable to control theinA
selves longer, commenced walking around
and around, in 'the holy dance" They
sang as they went, and then, as they be-
came more and more excited, shouted and
gro2ned like madmen. This continued
until the grave was closed, and then after
a short prayer, the hymn, Eyes, Massa,
he's a.comiE'," was sung again, with
sort Of widpathos that was very thrilling.
As the men and women stood arOundsin
this, the last act Of the sad ceremony, the
red light Of the fire shonc with bright
glow upon their bright, earnest faces, and
behind the dark woed seemed almost to
echo the refrain, "Comin' fast to Join the
host" The scono was, in ovory way, a
solemn and impressive one. -HuntsriHe
