Obituary.

Mr. Robert Mclaughlin was born in
Sterlingshire, Scotland, November 31st
1916, and died in Rock Island, Illinois,
September 18th, 1884 Thirty three years
ago he left his native land and came to
Canada, where he resided for thirteen

whose communion he remained until he
was called to join the church triumphant
As a citizen and neighbor, he was kind
and obliging. He was hard working and
industrious Consistent, upright and hon
est As christian, he was ever true to
his religious convictions, and he had q
deep, rich and satisfactory religious ex
perience He was well versed IN Bible
trnth, could repeat us precious promises
with such correctness and fluency as in
Dictated great familiarity with it.
During his sickness he was perfectly
resigned to the will of God, saying "Fa>
Their, not my will but thine be done" He
said, using the apostles words For me
to live is Christ, but to die is gain He
expressed desire to depart and be with
Christ, which Is far better When near
ing his end, as rill from the river OF
death, LAYING his feet gave him the chill
ing notice that he was nearing the dark
rolling flood, his song of triumph was
heard, Yea, though walk through the
valley of the shadow Of death, l will fear
no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me"

A Shocking Accident

Passenger train No. 8, on the C. NJ. 6
st. P. road which arrived here at O'Clock
from Milwaukee yesterday morning, killed
lady and gentleman on crossing about
a mile east of Deavan, Wis. Tuesday
night. 1t was in charge of w. G. TitOr
Engineer Caldwell, and reached Frecport
very few minutes late in consequence OF
of the accident 1t seems that these
young people, who were Miss Jennie
daughter of Prof. Dewey. of the deaf and
dumb asylum at Dclavan, and Chas. Top
ping, Delavan merchant, had gone out
for drive. They were crossing the
track just in time TO have their carriage
struck. Both were killed instantly, and
their bodies were picked up a few mo-
ments after along side the track. The
yonng lady's head was broken open, but
the y0nng man was not mangled so much.
When the friends Of the victims, whom il
is said we've engaged to be married to
each other, were notified and arrived at
the place of death the scene was most
heart rending. Both were from the best
families of the place, and the girl was
quite beautiful. She was about eighteen
years old, he about twenty one.
1t was thought by some that the horse
became unmanageabe and ran away. The
buggy was broken to pieces and jerked
loose from the horse. The engineer did
not see them in time to reverse his engine
This sad accident greatly shocked the
passengers.

the salary of the circuit clerk. The mem
bers of the board were pretty evenly divi
ded on the subject. Part of them wert
of the opinion that the salary of 81, 800 &

fixed at 81, 900 year. There were nlnt
or ten votes taken on the subject and a
noon it was still unsettled
This afternoon the matter was agar
taken up, and after considerable discus.
sion the salary of the circuit clerk was
fixed at $1,70 per year, with $1,000 fol
clerk hire.

A Mean Fling.

The court house square stone crossing
was afflicted by having another hump
backed iron covering dumped down, at
the Ohlweiler corner, on Tuesday. That
will probably prove the most dangerous
of all the crossings when winter comes -
Union.
The morning sheets anger against the
handsome new iron gutter crossings has
led it into making peevish little hlngs al
people, how that its objection to the
crossings has proved futile The covert
insinuation in the above paragraph is
plain. Jacob Ohlwciler keeps saloon
on that corner and the Union attempts to
convey the idea that men will stagger
forth from the saloon drunk this winter
and fall on the iron gutter crossings
Mr.. Ohlweiler keeps quiet, orderly and
decent place, which is patronized by gen
tlemen of high standing in the Communi-
ty, and the mean, contemplate little fling
in the morning sheet is undeseryed. Mr.
Ohlweiler is property owner, tax payer
and law abiding citizen, and he feels that
such iusinuations regarding his business
should not appear in print. But the In.
ion must have something to vent its
spleen on since its attempt to bulldoze the
street committee proved a failure Just
the same Jake Ohlweiler is too well known
as gentleman who conducts a quiet and
orderly place, to be hurt much by such
petty newspaper squibs, which are char
acteristic of the concern that clrculates
them.
