The Funeral OF Mr.. T.. &. CaheII.

Inc body OF Mr.. T.. Darlington Cabell,
VINO Oled suddenly in Philadelphia on
wednesday, Will arrive here this morning,
ana MS funeral will take place this after
noon at O'Clock from DR.. Ioge's church.
Inc FAMILY have as yet received no par
tioulars concerning his death. He left
here last Saturday in the best Of spirits.
contemplating with pleasure bis visit to
Philadelphia. and resolved 10 remain there
under medical treatment until his health
was fully restored. His doctor wrote con.
cerning his condition on Tuesday. but un-
fortunately his letter did not reach here
until after the telegram announcing his
death.
In that letter the physician said that Mr..
Cabelps condition was not favorable. but
be promised at the first sign OF danger to
telegraph his wife and relatives.
On Wednesday he telegraphed here that
his condition was critical, and later that he
was worse, and not long afterwards that he
died at Ten minutes TO 8. No operation
had been performed upon him. nor was
any contemplated Immediately; but had
his general physicUl condition been inn
proved sufficiently. one would have been
desirable, in view Of the fact that splnters
from the bone OF his fractured leg were
working out. and giving him a great deal
OF trouble.
The expressions OF sorrow at his death
have been almost universal here. His wife
and KIN have the general sympathy. Their
grief is intensified from the fact that on
account OF the suddenneSs OF bIs illness
and the delay OF the letter mentioned they
did not have even the poor consolation of
being at his death-bed.
