and had so tenderly entwined himself
around the hearts OF all hls associates, that
no one could endure the thought OF writing
his OBITUARY. IN advance Of his death, and
yet II was quite important. II not impera-
tive, that proper memorial should be pre-
pared, ready for insertion in the paper at q
moments notice upon the receipt OF the
news OF the death of our young and tall
ented friend and associate. One after
another declined to write the obitu-
airy, until it was finally determined that
Abram Fonda, an editorial writer on the
paper, should perform the melancholy task.
Mr.. Fonda accordingly began ii, emitting
the introduction, and was engaged some
time upon the work, when the writer OF
this paragraph. who occupied q chair in
front OF Mr.. Fonda's table, turned around
and inquired how he was getting along.
He replied that he was not progressing
satisfactorily, that 1t was harder task than
he had anticipated, and then went on with
his work. Instantly. as quickly as thought
could frame the expression. there flashed
through the brain OF the writer these
words: "Old fellow, you'll die before
Jimmie does!" And he did. That night
after retiring Mr.. Fonda arose for some
purpose, went to an open window IN his
room. and fell headlong out Of it to the
sidewalk below. In the morning he was
found lying upon the ground speechless
and insensible. He died at O'Clock In the
forenoon Of the day Mr.. Thorn survived
until nearly noon. The hand that writes
this wrote the introduction and the close
OF the obituary Of Mr.. Thorn that Mr..
Fonda began, and also wrote hasty tribute
to the memory OF the latter.

The case OF Captain $. II. Todd. OF the
schooner +. j. Erwin, charged with vio-
lating the United States neutrality laws in
conveying lot OF arms and ammunition,
il is ALLEGED, to IIayti rebelonistS, was
before United States Commissioner Pleas
ants Yesterday morning. Captain Todd
was not i'm the least disturbed about the
matter. He said these articles were con-
signed TO him by stranger in New York
who maid him $3.50 and told him that he
would probably meet him at Fort Monroe
and receive the goods from him. He was
led TO believe that the boxes contained
American hardware. When the stranger de-
liyered the goods nc placed a little red-and
white flag in his hands with directions to
put il up when he got to sea. He placed
il at the topmaSt.
Captain Todd testified that when he took
the cargo the freight was paid in advance,
and therefore there was no bill OF ladlng.
The stranger told him to 90 in the neigh
borhoOd OF Fort Monroe, where he would
be met. When he got TO Fort Monroe he
found no one 10 meet him, although he laid
around there some time. He finally tele-
graphed to his agent. who told him to pro-
ceed to Richmond and unload the rest OF
his cargo, which consisted OF pig-iron and
other freight.
Commissioner peasants bailed Captain
Todd on his own recognizance for his ap-
pearance before the United States Court I'm
October. In the mean time the ease may be
tried sooner. The vessel was libelled yes
terday evening by United States Marshal
II. Z. Hughes, and after giving proper
bond will be allowed to proceed on it, way,
until final adjudication OF the matter is
had before the courts.

sence from her borders had never caused
him to forget that she was his mother.
1t is great pity that this sentiment oi
love for Virginia-so much to be admired
seems to have been forgotten by some OF
her sons, from whom something better was
TO have been expected than degrading both
themselves and noble Common wealth by
deeds that do not bear the scrutiny OF day
light.

THE WALL OF WATER THAT PLAYED HAVOC IN
PLATTE CANYON, COLORADO.


rItlll lllf iJtlNtI iiluO1sl
The WaterSDott - which occurred Sat
urday at Resort, near the Platte Canyon.
was the most severe that has visited that
section for years. A letter from camper
states that n few minutes after the rain
commenced ut Corbin's ranch, which is at
the mouth OF East resort, bank OF water
twelve or fifteen feet high was seen coming
down the gulch, which ut this point is
quite wide. The bed OF the gulch is
grown up thickly with quaking asp, black
alder or irOn-wood, and willows, and
the roaring OF the water, stones. and
LOGS as they crashed through this growth,
breaking everything in their path, was
terrific. When the water reached the
creek, which is mere gulch, and joined
an equally large volume OF water which
had come down il, the creek looked as
though a river had been turned into It,.
The water that had come down the main
creek had carried away saw-inill and
some small houses, and in one or two ill.,
stances people had barely been able to save
themselves, and had all their household
goods washed away. Crops along the creek
were cleanly swept off the ground.
When the eyer-increasing body of water
reached Proctor's ranch, three quarters OF
a mile below Corbn's, it created most
exciting scene. The house was occupied
by family named Akens. On last We'd
nesday Mr.. Akens's infant child died, and
as he was in Idaho Territory at the time
the body was being held until he could re-
turn TO attend the funeral. The corpse
was living in its little coffin, which had
been placed on ice. The approaching flood
was not discovered until il was within a
few wards of the house. With terrible
shrek the mother rushed to the coffin, and,
CRYING "My baby! oh, my baby ="
snatched the body from the box and waded
out through the water, nearly wast-deep.
and ran up the mountain-side, still utter
ing the most heart-rending cries. She and
those who were with her in the house had
barely time to escape before second and
b;ohcr wave OF water lifted the house and
carried it away.
A little below this point the creek enters
a narrow canyon. and some timber-men
who saw It there say the sight was grand
one. In some narrow places the water,
filed with timber and rumbling, rolling
stones, was over thirty feet deep. and
poured over the series Of falls in the cam
Won with a sound like deep thunder. BY
The time, however. 1t had reached the river
the water had spread out to considerable
extent, a circumstance which prevented
great damage TO the railroad. As 1t was,
there was bad wash-out.
