Died at the residence of his son-in-law, DIR. II.
W. Hopkins, in Ottawa, on Saturday morning,
March 10Th, HENRY WHITE GRIDLEY, in the Goth
year of his age.
Deacon Gridley was one OF our very Oldest in
habitants, having resided in Ottawa or its vicini-
ty since 1884. We copy the following in refer
cnce to his death from the Republicans
The deceased was born in Mansfield, Conn,
May 10Th, 1891, and when 5 years old his parents
removed to CRANKY, Mass, where he lived until
1884, when he came to Illinois with his family,
settling on farm south OF Ottawa, which was
his home until his removal to this city.
During his ~ years residence here he
was known as an unobstrusive citizen, a man of
the most unblcmished character, and Christian
whose standing no one could question. He was
Il member of the Congregational church, and II
regular attendant at its services until the intrml-
ties Of age compelled him to remain in doors eve.
nings and whenever the weather was Indictment.
He was able to walk about the house and grounds
until three or four days before his death. Fun
eral services were held in the Congregational
church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, a large
number of the old settlers of the city and vicinity
attending. Rev. q. b. Barnes conducted the ex-
crcises.
Mr.. Gridley leaves only one child, Miss Lucy s..
Gridley. His wife died three years ago. The
wives of H. L. Brush and DR.. Hopkins were his
daughters and preceded him to the spirit world.

An Announcement.

Spring having 10 all appearances arrived, the
public are anxious to know what ii. j. CULLEN
is doing to supply them with seasonable dry
goods, etc. The most casual examination shows
that the house is fully prepared for the spring
trade. Goods have been arriving daily for some
time past and will continue for some days to
come; and already counters and shelves are re-
plete with merchandise, the excellence, variety
and abundance Of which is unsurpassed Qf not
unequaled) by any house in this county.
Now, while the statement may be little tritc,
it is nevertheless the important and valuable fact
that on all these arrivals there will be little
advance in prices; for anticipating the late and
frequent rises in merchandise, Mr., GILLEN made
contracts for the delivery Of these goods before
the advance became established. And although.
he might reasonably demand of the public prices
to meet these late advances, he proposes to give
the buyer the benefit Of his advantages. The
public will appreciate this circumstance, since
Mr.. GILLEN lives strictly up to his published
statements.
The dry good stock is complete in details,
though the expected quantity is not all IN. The
DRESS GOODS stock is equal to any Mr.. &. has
ever opened and in quantity of the standards
and variety Of the latest novelties in dress goods
is the leading stock Of the city

ment Qarge enough to make tip,top independ-
ent business) is maintained, with superior in
ducements in the way OF good prices.
The grocery house tells its own story of care
full management in the interests Of the public.
In hasty way this is the spring announce
ment for Mr.. GILLEN's. 1t may be added that he
will allow none to lead him in any line Of goods he
carries On the contrary he aims at all times to
be himself the leader and deals with the public
with that end in view. How we'll he succeeds
his old patrons can testify and new ones can learn
for themselves by calling on him.

Coloring for Easter Eggs at NJ. Walther's, in
Gedney's block, Court st.

There were two narrow escapes from fire in
Ottawa this week. The first was on Tuesday
might, when an exploding lamp set fire to the
table cove. and carpet in the rooms Of q. p. Rugg
and wife in the brick residence Of IL. Walther
just north Of the old post office The fire was
discovered by George Sweet and Scott Barnard,
who were attracted by the brilliant light inside.
They burst open the door, since no one was at
home, and succeeded in extnguishng the fire
before great damage was done-On Wednesday
about II o'clock an alarm sounded with people
running up Madison ST. As a great volume OF
smoke issued from the Clifton engine chimney,
the majority Of the gathering crowd supposed
that important structure was a-tre. 1t proved,
however, that bad chimney apparatus had set
fire to the roof OF Mr.. G. Mler's saloon, wooden
building two doors east Of Fske & Beem's. The
fire was discovered before it got under Roadway
and was readily eXtingushed without the aid of
the department.

being made with the intention Of lengthening
the limb by the sole Of the SHOE it was made be

is perfect; and the shoe declares that few shoe

Jos. Landermeier, OF Peru, \ bOatman, was
killed on the lower river last week in curious
way, related by the Heraid: His boat had been
tied up to two saplngs on the edge of the water,
and Lindermeier took the small boat going
ashore to loosen the line. Placing his arm be-
tween the saplngs ready to cast off, he called to
sacken up, but the boat going ahead fastened
his arm in the wise, the pull and pressure cutting
his arm clear from his body, and both falling into
the river. Underwater managed to crawl up
the bank until assistance arrived, when amputa-
ton followed, and he was brought home, where
he died few days afterwards"

The case of Walker vs.. Ctty of Springfield, de-
cided lately by the Supreme Court, opinion filed
on Wednesday, will be of interest in Ottawa as
elsewhere. A synopsis says: In 1877 the city
passed an ordinance requiring insurance agents
to pay per cent. on all premiums received in
the city for the support OF the fire department.
The defendant Walker refused to make a return
of the premiums he collected, and the city sued
him before justice OF the peace and got judg-
ment for the penalty provided in the ordinance,
viz, 500 and costs The case was taken to the
Circuit Court of Sangamon county, where, upon
trial de novo, a like result was had Appeal was
taken to the Appellate Court third district, and
the judgment of the Circuit Court was affirmed
On appeal to the Supreme Court the judgment
was again affirmed. The Supreme Court says IN
its decision: eve are clearly of the opinion that
the charter of the city of Springfield, the thir.
tecnth section Of the insurance law, and the city
ordinance are constitutional, and confer upon the
city power to sue for and recover the penalty and
the judgment of Appellate Court must be az.
hrmed.'
