SAD BEREAVEMENT,
Charles G. Carpenter. Jr., OF this
Clty Dies In the + Sr west.

A telegram received by G. G. Car
penter, of this city, last night, from
AinsWorth, Neb. in reference to his son,
says
"Charlie died on lie fourteenth and
was buried on the fifteenth. ID. w.
Beath, M. d. As was stated yester-
day, Mr.. Ca penter received a telegram
on Monday, at noon, that his son Charlie
had acc tid.ntally shot himself, and also
that particulars would be sent later
After waiting anXiousiy for further
particulars and receiving no word, Mr..
Carpenter telegraphed to Ainsworih for
particulars of tho accident and asked if
the injured man could he moved. In
twenty-tour hours he received a reply
from the attending physician to the
effect that the mans wounds were dan
serons, aud that he could not be remov-
ed, This telegram was sent On the
evening" of the fourteenth, and from the
wording OF the telegram received last
evening it Is supposed that Charlie died
shortly after the previous telegram was
sent AS yet no particulars of the ac.
cident have been received and Mr.. Car
penter, together with his wife and fam
lily, are prostrated with grief over the
sad occurrence. The deceased was
graduate Of the Wilmington High
school, in the class Of '7s, and shortly
afterwards began reading law under
City Solicitor II. c. Turner, where he
remained for about three years and il
half He ". good student, and at
the end Of thu me was examined and
al the November term Of Court, lSS2.
About four mouths ago, he lett home
for Nebraska. with the intention OF set
ding in the West and growing up with
the country. In his trip ou', he met
with a severe accident at Omaha. While
Jumping from the train ~ that station.
he fen, breaking one of his ribs, mash.
ing his foot, ,and was Otherwise injured.
Recovering from his wounds he pro-
ceeied TO AinswOrth, where he com
menctd the practice of law and for some
time acted a. clam agent in tie courts.
For time his field uf labor was diff
cult and it wasa struggle for him to
make both ends meet, bat for the past
two months his luck turned and he was
doing well, having secured Il lana
claim, erected Il house and began to I'M
prove the property. 1t is thought that
while he was riding his mustang from
Ainsworth to his claim that his pistol
was acc iden,ally discharged, which re-
suited fatally.
He was born in Cecil County, Mary
land, in 1861, at the breaking out Of the
rebellion aud was little over % years
OF age He was highly estesmed by his
fellow-mem!crs OF the far, as well as
all who knew him, and his death will
be lamented. The blow is severe one
to his parents " ho are Frustrated with
grief, and made more SO from the fact
that it isinpoSsible to have the body sent
home and buried anon. friends. ID II.
ing his short illness ophysicians were
in attendance. His parents have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

"DEARsIK:-i.-piying 10 your favor
we would state thar the article clippe3
from your ci y paper is the result of the
ill-alvised action OF Mr.. Hunt, who
sought In this manner to be reyenved
because of the action OF the association
in discharging him. As is always the

to yours.

parties who are inimical to us, and if
the attacks are not more judicious than
those of Mr.. hunt we shall have but
little trouble in defending ourselves

amining into all the facts of the case
Judge Cullin, OF the Supreme Court Of

dered the plaintiff to pay tbecosts, with
the remark that there was no reason
for ever having commenced it.
That the pnblic has not lost conf

business for the past month which ex-
creds three million of dollars, or more
than double the amount done in the cor
responding month of last year During
the first five days of this month the as

larger than that of any other Company

determined to fully investigate the al.
