Edward r.. Prahla.

Mr.. Edward e. Preble died very suddenly
last evening, at ten minutes past seven O'Clock
at his late residence on High street. Mr.
Prehle had been out of health for the past four
months and had not been able to leave the
house but two or three times since the sum-
mer. He was lying in bed il his room last ey-
ening and the family heard him moving
Thinking he might need some assistance his
sister, Mrs. Tucker, went into the chamber and
found him leaning partly out of bed. as he had
apparently been vomiting. She helped him
back to the pillows, and then discovered that
life was extinct. DIR. Gordon, whe resides close
by, was sent for, but, of course, all was over.
The doctor decided th at death was caused by
the rupture of a large blood vessel in the BRAIN
Edward E Preble was born in Portland and
appointed to the United States Naval Acade-
my November 29th. 1859 He remained in the
Naval Academy from 1859 to 1861, when he
was appointed to the steamsloop Mississippi in
the West Gulf blockadiDg squadron. In 1923
he was attached to the Kearsarge and was mid
shipman on board of that vessel in her cele-
brated fight with the Alabama. August 9th,
1864 he was promoted ensign, and attached to
the Susquehanna on the North Atlantic squad
ron in 1864-5. He took part in both attacks
ON Fort Fisher, and was commissioned Lieu
tenant February 22d, 1864. In 1866 81 he was
on special service in the Susquehanna, was
commissioned Lieutenant Commander July
18th, 1866 was attached to the Minnesota on
a special cruise in 1868, and to the Pacific
squadron in 1869, and the resigned from the
service.
Since his resignation from the service Mr..
Preble has resided in Portland, passing the life
of gentleman of leisure on his handsome
property. Not only gallant officer, and one
of the best in the service, but he also united to
these qualifications most amiable and Iowa
BILE disposition, which drew to him troops of
friends. He was a grandson of Commodore
Preble, the hero of Tripol, and is the last di-
rect des :endant of his name. Rear Admiral
Preble's son is now, we believe the last one Of
the family to bear the name. His grandmoth-
or was sister of the late James Deering. Mr..
Preble's father was Mr.. Edward Preble, gen.
tleman of fortune, and his mother-Miss Wat
ties by this still living at her house on
High street. She was, as young lady, the
belle of Washington and came from an old
Virginian family in Alexandria. Two sisters
Mrs. Tucker of New York, and Mrs. w. H.
Anderson of Portland, survive their brother.

Anniversary Of Portland Settlement"
The suggestion made in the PRESS a few
days since as to proper observance OF the
250th anniversary of the year when George
Cleeves and Richard Tucker built their cabin
on what was then called by the Indians Mach
igonne," now the site of our beautiful city is
q very appropriate one for this time.
Although it is matter of some doubt as to
whether Cleeves made his settlement here in
1852 or 1888. that is immaterial. We have not
had celebration OF any kind by the city for
some years, and if we can combine the observ-
ance of great historical event like this, the
natal day of ou- city, with that of the nation
on the next Attn OF July, it could be made
very interesting occasion. The sons of Port
land, who are to be found in every part of our
country, could be invited home to again visit
their ..inative heath" Many of them whose
abilities and genius have made them distin-
guished in the pursuits of life elsewhere could
be induced to take an active part in the pro-
ceedings of such an anniversary One of the
most celebrated of our former citizens, whose
name is illustrious the world over, had bis
birth place on the spot where Ceeves first cul-
tivated the soil. the lineage of Cleeves is to
be found in some OF our citizens now here,
whose talents and eloquence would fit them To
take prominent positions in the exercises of
snch celebration. If anything is to be done
about it the initiative should be taken by the
present City Government without delay.

Editor Patron I thought [ would
give you some dots from this part
of the great State of Texas. Bro.
J. F. Fuller, our District Lecturer,
was with us on the 22nd of July,
and | don't think l ever heard a
better speech in the interest Of the
Grange. [ suppose there were some
five hundred people present and all
moved it very much, with the ex-
ception of a few merchants. His
theme was cooperation, and he is
we'll posted. [ have heard some
say he explained Grange princi Piles
better than they ever heard them
explained before. He explained
and showed how the farmers had
been swindled out of their just
rights in the old business way of
handling cotton in Galveston; he
showed how the farmers, if united,
could have saved as much monev
by shipping their cotton to J. S.
Rogers, Galveston, as was appro-
priated by the State Legislature for
free schools. Bro. Fuller is a fine
speaker and makes a good impress
sion wherever he goes.

meeting of the State Co operative
Association, which met near Argus,

made good showing, near $4,000

The Mexia Co operative Associ-

bales of cotton and received rebates
of 25 per cent, $2o4; purchased
