James Resrden and Eugene Ahern were at the
great Catholic Fair at La Sale on Saturday ev-
eniAg. To get home they boarded freight train
about 10 o'clock in preference to waiting for the
passenger. The train did not carry passengers,

tunnel the axel Of one Of the cars broke, wreck.
ing nine cars OF the train. One of these con.
tanned our Ottawa boys. The car upsetting, the
young men were buried in the corn-Ahern to
his chin. and Rearden entirely. Ahern readily
got out, but to Resrden the work was harder.
Yet he succeeded 10 getting out, climbing from
his car over parts Of other wrecked cars. He felt
tkat he WAS badly hurt internally, and was
taken on the engine to Utica, where he died, lit
is supposed of rupt ured blood vessel. He was

Obituary,

RUssELL.-It Is with deep regret that We have
to announce to-day the death OF Mrs. Chas. G.
Russell, at her home in this city on Thursday
morning last OF consumption. Mrs. Russell was
born at Kenosha, Wis, where she lived until her
marriage about four years ago. She was the
mother OF two children, only one OF whom sur
wives her. She was but twenty nine years old
but in all good words and works her life was
longer than that OF most men and women. She
was woman of whom 1t is impossible to speak
too highly. Her character was most beautiful
and as child, girl, young woman and wife and
mother she gained the admiration, esteem and
love OF all with whom she came in contact. A
perfect woman has gone to her rest; but her mem.
ory will long live In the hearts Of host OF per.
sonal friends both here and In Wisconsin, to each
OF whom her untimey death comes as apersonal
atflcton. The body was taken to Kenosha for
burial there to-day. "..a
LEcKY-The friends of Mr.. w. X. Lecky, ol
this Office, will be panied 10 hear Of the sudden
death of his son, George W., on Wednesday morn
ing. The child was apparently in good health
until Tuesday, when it was stricken with VIC
lent attack OF membraneous Group, from which
death resulted about o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. The child was only few days short Of sew
en- years old-a bright, cheerful little fellow
whose death Is q crushing blow to the family
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon.

Geo. Dupain was gentleman we'll known in
Ottawa, where he had lived for many years, work
ing at his trade of harness maker. Lately he had
been working in Davenport. On last Saturday
evening he came here from Joliet, intending to
spend Sunday with his friends and go to Daven.
port on Monday. He stopped at Mr.. Wallimann's
on the west side. He went TO bed early com
planning Of being quite tired, and remarking he
was afraid he shouldn't sleep and would take q
little morphine. 1t is certain he took dose
though no one saw him. Nothing was thought
OF the matter for he had been in the habit OF US
ing morphine for many years-2O at least, as his
physician said. His bed-fellow, Frank Wall
mann, found him sleeping when he arose, but
did not disturb him. Later when the breakfast
was ready they found it impossible to awake
him, although there was life in him. His family
physician was sent for who pronounced the case
hopeless; and he died shortly afterwards. The
suspicion Of suicide is entirely unwarranted. Hi:
family relations are pleasant; his pecuniary al
fairs were such as TO give him no concern; ant
he appeared in excellent spirits. He had used
morphine as a soporifc for years, and probably
oyersized his dose.-He leaves wife only, xhc
has sufficient means to support her comfortably
He was AZ years old.
The funeral services were held at the German
Catholic Church on Tuesday, and were attended
by large number Of friends and relatives.

We've been expecting something Of this sort
for some time; because Ottawa.i hardly suffi.
ciently important milling centre to need the
presence Of special reporter from one to four
times month for year past! Now the secret
is out; and 1t reads something like this:
MARRIED--On Wednesday last, by Rev. f. G.
Arnold, at the residence OF the BRIDES father,
Miss ELLA 8. THOMPSON, daughter OF g. L..
Thompson, of this city, to ARTHUR j. MITCH
ELL, OF Chicago.
Mr.. Mitchell is president and manager OF the
Mitchell Bros.' Publishing Co., Chicago, pub,
fishers Of the american Miller, the largest and
most widely circulated milling paper in the
world He was born and raised here-the son OF
John 8. Mitchell, Esq, and like his bride Is IA
vorably known to all Ottawa people. The we'd
ding was attended by only the relatives Of the
bride and groom: and at o'clock tn took the
train to Chicago, their home. In COT pany with
their host of Ottawa friends, we tender our con.
gratulations. They are excellent people, both Of
them; and have a bright future befre them.
May they long live to enjoy the word, trans
hitting their many lovable qualities to bless
coming generations.

Most people appreciated the fact that the storm
oflast Friday was very severe one though few
probably thought it, as said to have been, in Chi
ctgo, the severest rain storm In rs years. An
enormous quantity OF water fell, and on Satur
dly the rivers hogan rising rapidly and by Sun
day afternoon the water had reached height
bat a few inches below the highest mark reached
dlring the spring freshet. Bottom lands along
both rivers were covered and thousands OF bush
eb Of unplcked corn were covered with water
fr,m one to six feet deep. No especial damage
Otherwise was done near Ottawa. The damage
at Streator is mentioned elsewhere. At La Sale,
a correspondent says, the water on Monday
morning stood fully twenty-five feet above low
water mark The bottom lands we're entirely
submerged, and probably not less than $4,000
bishels Of corn under water in the vicinity. A
urge amount OF damage has been done at Noon
ans prick-yard, and to ". Byrne and s. N Maze.
lumber. dealers. The DE Steiger Glass Company
have also been losers by the washing away Of a
large quantity OF sand, wood and lumber from

That sale at II. ]. Gillen's, at the great reduc.
tions heretofore noted, has progressed all week
in spite OF the weather's drawbacks, and sales
we're much larger than should have been expect.

the public know that the house Is Offering un'
