A singular and sudden death occur.
red in one Of the passenger coaches on
the Northern Pacific railroad yestc, day
morning Immediately after the train
left New Tacoma. Mr.. Frank Clark,
one Of the most distinguished lawyers
of Western Washington Territory,
boarded the south hound train at New
Tacoma, q few minutes bcfo : the time
Of departure. lie was accompanied by
his son, bright youth Of about twelve
or thirteen years Of age, and Was on
his way to attend court At Chehalis. He
took seat near hot stove and leaned
his head upon his hand, his elbow rest
ing upon the back Of the car seat and
closed his eyes, a. if in sleep or medita-
ton. The interior Of the car was exces.
sively close and hot when Mr.. Clark
entered and as he sat very close to the
stove, he no doubt inhaled large
amount of hot air. No particular no.
tice wa. taken Of Mr.. Clark until Just
after the train had left New Tacoma,
when the conductor passed through the
car aud gently shook Mr.. Clark by the
shoulder. As he received no response
to his application for ticket, and know
ing that Mr.. Clark held pass and sup
posing he was dozing, the conductor
passed on his way to the next car.
Sometime afterward, the brakeman re.
ported to the conductor that dead
man was sitting in tho back car. On
going to the seat occupied by Mr.. Clark,
the conductor discovered that gentle.
man sitting up, but quite dead. His
pulse had ceased to beat, and his feat
ures were rapidly assuming deathly
pallor. The corpse was take off 1t
Tenino junction and left there TO be
sent back to New Tacoma last night.
Mr.. Clark was large sized man Of
brilliant mind, and has distinguished
himself for many years past as one Of
the best lawyers 10 the Northwest. He
has recently been associated with J. G
Haines in the defense of the Captains
and Mates of the ships Harvester and
Challenger, charged with cruelty 70
sailors; and last week frequently com.
planned of feeling i'll. A few days ago
be expressed the opinion that he should
not live long. as he felt as though he
should be paralyzed or die from apo.
plexy. 1t is surmised that his sudden
death was caused by disease Of the
heart. He leaves wife, son aud sew
eral daughters, and fortune said to
be a. high as $4,000 or more.--North

PARTING.

Oh, sing to ne some gentle song;
Some tender anc melodious air.
That through my brain shall glide along
And start low echoes there.
Care. like Furoclydon,
Has chilled me through with driving sieet;
Oh, let thy voice, subdued and sweet,
Like Summer waves on lettering feet,
Against my throbbing temples beat,
Till all the pain is gone.
Forgetful Of all dire mishap,
Beneath the kindness Of thy face.
lay my head upon thy lap,
And claim thy last embrace.
While thou are DER me bowed,
I watch thy gentle loves arise,
And float and kindle in thine eyes,
As some May mornings shifting dyes,
That tremble through the shadowy skies
And flash from cloud to cloud.
We part-and it may be for aye
None know the number Of theif years;
All! at that thought thine eyes soft day
Is lost in twilight tears.
Nay! be not grieving thus.
Isdid not mean FOR dye, sweet love;
Only as life's swift shuttles move,
Like silken threads apart We shove;
But surely He who rules above
Most kindly watches US.
And when our parted lives are done,
What heavenly rapture it will be
To know them woven into one,
BY careful Deity.
Call back thy vanished smile,
Let us, with sacred, rcverent trust
Sure that the ways Of God are Just,
And nur bright love-links cannot rust;
Be severed, darling, if we must;
'Tis but little while.
Then sing to me some gentle song,
And round my neck thy white arms wind
While tender thoughts holy throng-
Float over thy pure mind,
And flower within thine eyes,
As lilies in smooth waters grow;
And, lovingly entwined 80,
1t may be we shall feel the glow
Of angel loves, and sweetly know
The strength of angel ties!
