sermons, the first by Rev. Kone and the
second by Rev George, aboundcd in elo-

was vislbly affected thereby.
The aged father of the Messrs. Thistle
wood in this city died at Harrington, Del,
on last Sunday afternoon. A dispatch to
that effect arrived here soon after, asking
the relations of the family in this city to
come and attend the funeral, but as it was
1 impossible to get there in time for the
funeral it was not complied with. The de.
ceased Mr.. Benz. Thistlewood, was
seventy-fve years old at the time of his de-
mise and lett behind him, besides numer-
Gus family of children, wife of nearly the
same age with himself. The old man was
sick but a short time before death ensued
The many friends of Messrs. Thistlewood
here will sympathize with them in their be-
reavement.

"A little old man dressed III blue, en-
broidered, sailor shirt, military cap, 1
seedy gray coat, and greasy striped pants
held in doubtful position by a leather belt
| with ~. S." buckle in front, came dowr
from st. Louis with his wife few days
ago and took the Iron Mountain train here
for Charleston, Mo. This was last week
some time. Last Monday he came back
clone, without money, friends, baggage, but
with broken nose and a ravenous appetite
yet, withal, an agreeableness of disposition
that was in strange contrast with the sor
rowful tale he told. He saught out and
soon found police headquarters, where he
found Chief Myers, Officer Olmsted and
others into whose ears he poured out the
story of his troubles which was plentifully
seasoned with not very aattering references
to the authorities of Charleston. His name

United States, both on land and water, and
had attained to the rank of lieutenant
He was also president of the boot black:

eight-year-old girl came through Charles

"Bill" Bowler, an undertaken, forcibly
took the child away from them, claiming
that they (Jermlah and his wife) had stolen
her. All explanations and entreaties and
: threats on the part Of jeremiah
failed to induce Bowler to give
up the child and finally the bereayed
step parents were compelled TO continue
Oh their way alone. Last week they re-
turned to Charleston for the purpose of
making second attempt to reclaim the
