The kind and loving father was in the
last stage of consumption. Just before
the train reached Sedalia he called his
little children around him and bid
them an afiectionate and final fare
well, but when the train stopped he
was able to walk. The family took q
bus, and arrived at the llgen house ut
ten o'clock. At eleven the poor man
died, with his six little children weep
ing around his bedside. II was mel
ancholy sight to witness six beautiful,
! intellectual little children among
strangers, with no mother, no father
| to care for or comfort them. The pro-
prietors of the Ilgen house telegraphed
to brother of the deceased at Wheel
ing, Virginia, and rendered all assis-
lance in their power to the children.
Fortunately they are in affluent cir
cumstances.
