Death OF VIM. MORROW.

VIM. Morrow, an old and well-known
citizen OF this city, died last evening, at
his residence, No. 808 Market street, in
the 72d year of his age. Mr.. Morrow
was widely known, on account of his
friendly, sociable manner and genial ma
ture, and also on account of his large
size and his afiliction of deafness, which
compelled him to use an ear trumpet in
carrying on conversation.
Mr. Morrow was brother of James
Morrow, the well-known grocer, and
was born near Londonderry, Ireland, in
1906. He came to this country at an
early age, and locating in Wilmington,
established grocery store at the 5. e..
corner of Third and Market streets, where
he continued in business for a number of
years, amassing comfortable competen-
cy. He was also largely engaged in real
estate transactions, and built number
Of houses in various parts OF the city. a
small street running south from Eighth,
between Madison and Monroe, on which
he erected several houses, was named
after him. He was always an active citi'
zen, taking great interest in the city's
prosperity, and was ever known as q
gentleman of pure motives and upright
character. Politically he was Demo
crat, and though he never held any ofi1-
cial position, he expressed great desire
| for the success of the party and worked
actively to secure that end. He was also
a consistent member of the Presbyterian
Church. His funeral will take place
from his late residence on Monday after
noon.

fore he hoped this feeling Of malicewould
not be carried too far, and that the report
would be printed as usual.
MT. Baker said the Chief could take his
report and eliminate the offensive re-
marks. He said it would never have been
received in Council had its contents been
known beforehand.
Mr.. Wlndle's motion to return the re-
port to the Chief Engineer was then
adopted
MIR. Chandler presented the following
proposals for grading the bed of Ninth
streed between Jackson and Franklin:
7. Carberry, "A cents per cubic yd 4,
John p. Cahill 19i F." " !"
Another proposal was also received but
as 1T was not accompanied by bond, it
was destroyed without being read.
The others were referred to the Opening
Streets Committee.
Mr.. Chandler stated that as several per-
sons desired to build in the neighborhood
of Wawaset and VanBur-n sJreets,it was
necessary to establish the grade. He
therefore moved that Council meet for
this purpose at Delaware Avenue and
Adams street, on Saturday evening, at
o'clock. Adopted.

There seems to be little doubt as to the
expediency of the matter, as it is the
general opinion that such meetings should
be held. After a short discussion on the
temperance question, the meeting ad

The annual custom of decorating the

strewn with them.
The ceremonies commenced in the
morning, when committee appointed

those who lie in the various grave yards
outside of the Wilmington and Brandy

Before entering the cemetery a halt

playing Mozart's dead march. Arriving
at the graves, the American Rifles were
drawn up in line, and discharged three
volleys obhquely across the graves. In
the meantime one platoon under com

grave of the late Gen. Smyth, and fired a
special salute. Another platoon of the

Surprised Again.

Last evening, about dozen of the
members of the bible class connected
with the Sabbath school of the Olivet
Presbyterian Church of this city, called
Mt the residence of their late teacher and
pastor, Rev. A. j. Snyder, and the oc-
casion was none the less enjoyable be-
cause it was complete surprise. The
evening was spent in singing, prayer
and social intercourse, and last, but not
least, in the presentation of a pair of
beautiful gold spectacles. Nothing more
appropriate could have been selected to
show their appreciation and warm per
sonal attachment. Mr.. 5. was the first
and only teacher of this class for period
of more than 10 years Herein is that

SIGNS ofRetuining Prosperity.

There are not wanting indications
Of real revival of prosperity.
l. The revival OF foreign immigra-
ton. For the first time for five or
six years the tide of foreign immi-
grafton has set in towards this port.
This is an uEmistakable, sign Of
prosperity.
.. The under-current Of the Stock
Exchange is buoyant. No bearmove-
ment has been successful since the
passage of the silver bill. Every
downward movemet has been almost
instantly followed by an upward
movement.
3. Railroad building has been re-
sumed, more especially in the far
west. This, of course, has already
reacted on the iron industries OF
PENNSYLVANIA, and the Increased ac-
tivity there will, in time, produce an
Increased activity in the New Eng
land Mills.
4, The prosperity Of the Far West
is phenomenal. Nothing similar has
been known heretofore. The har-
vests promised great abundance and
the tide of settlement is flowing in
rapidly. New lands are being
brought under cultivation, feeders
to the great trunk lines OF railroad
are being constructed, and the de-
mand for manufactured products is
sure to be large.
j.. Our foreign commerce is stead
iy Increasing. This is another en-
cellent condition of returning pros
perity. -,
Since the passage Of the silver bill
there hes been 4 steady improve
ment If nothing untowsrd now oc-
GUS, the country is sure to attain q
r,ubl- t~sis al assured prosperity In
the Lcni future.

Eloquent Bob Ing eESoU.

A man who can speak of the fallen
heroes of the war as Robert IngeI soll
does, cannot be wholly bad. What
touching pathos in these lines:
"We see them all as they march
proudly away under the Haunting
flags, keeping time to the wild, grand
music of war-Marching down the
streets of the great cities-through
the towns and across the praries-
down to the fields Of glory, to do and
to die for the eternal right.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty-they died for US. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the solemn
pines, and sad hemlocks, the fearful
willows, and the embracing vines.
They sleep beneath the shadows of
the clouds, careless alike of the sun
slime or of storm, each in his win
dowless palace of rest. Earth may
run red with other wars-they are
at peace. In the midst of battle, in
the roar of conflict, they fonnd tho
terenity of death. l have one sen.
timent for the soldiers living and
dead-cheers for the living aud tears
for the dead" .
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1878-06-05

The House Of Representatives has
passed the bill appropria:ing $4,000
for the expense Of Potter's Disturb
anco Committee. The Democrats
did this by stealing march on tho
Republicans, many Of whom were
absent at the opening hour Of the
session. The bin, before it can be-
come o law, will have to pass the
Senate, and DO approved by the
President. Should it fail to become
law, this execrable scheme for
one-3ided partisan investigation and
for the Mexicanization of the United
States, would be like tramp, with
out any visible means Of support.
The question is, Would the Repub-
licans OF the Senate or the Repub-
lican President be justified in voting
to tax the national Treasury to the
extent of $4,000, or even 20 cents,
for mere Democratic partisan pur-
poses
