As We enter the chamber of death, be that
death the most natural, we are impressed by
a feeling of deep sadness, but when a pure
| and good life is beaconed to a premature
end by terrible disaster, when strength Of
womanhood and royal determination is
blasted by one fell stroke the human heart
bursts almost with its load of sorrowing
sympathy. Such was the death of Mrs. Sa-
rah Newman and such is our feeling as we
write the story OF her tragic exit from life's
serious drama. Mrs. Newman was victim to
| the explosion which took place on Friday
| morning of last week on board the steamer
| Sydney, near the site of Ravingwood, w. Va.
She lived to Le brought to her home in E.

| loved so well, to give her last words of ten
| der admonition to her fatherless children,
whom she treasured with all mothers de-
votion. Her sorIowing and devoted relatives
| were ever around her. but never sigh or
| groan of hers betrayed to them the intense
agony she must have undergone; she loved
| them and bravely bore her pains, that she
might not cause them piercing sorrow. The
| sufferer fingered between life and death until
| Monday morning, when the hand of God
| withdrew the soul from the suffering NOR
| tality. Mrs. Newman leaves three promis-
ing children, Sarah, Teanie and Charlie; the
| latter of whom being far away from home,
wrote most touching and beautiful letter
to his grandma bewailing his mothers death,
and promising ever to be true to his father
less and motherless sisters Mrs. Newman
| embraced religion in her twenty first year,
and became member of Union Chapel, to
which church she belonged to the day of her
| death. Her perfect resignation to her fate
was source OF deep joy to those who held her
dear. Sarah Newman was the oldest child
of Samuel and Malinda Wilson besides her
three children, her mother and five sisters
survive her. Rev. Cardoza of Union Chapel
| performed the funeral rites over her remains
at her home at one o'clock Thursday i'll the
