THBC!AAALPRESBRVED
The Appropriation Sc
cured.
TcSlimonial to Col WeIdy.

! After one of the most persist
ent fights ever made in the Leg
isfature, the appropriation for
the repair of the Hooking canal
was finally secured.
Tie appropriation was twice
defeated, once in the House and
once in the Senate, but Col. Vel
dy, who championed the appro-
priation. worked faithfully and
untiringly for the appropriation,
and finally came out victorious.
The credit of winning the hard:
est fought issue in the last Legis
lature is due to Col. Weldy. and
m ny men who to day are afforded
work and thence the means of
keeping their families, can thank
their Representative, remember
ing, but for his persistent effort,
they would be idle to day, and
their families possibly suffer for
the necessaries of life which the
pay for the labor they now have
on the canal helps to supply.
On last Monday evening the
friends Of Col. Weldy, and those
Interested in the preservation of
tn can Il, rendered reception
to our Representative on his re
turn home. A meeting was
called in the Auditors Office.
Judge Acker presided, and in
behalf of those interested in the
preservation of the canal. pre-
sented to Col. Weldy a handsome
gold headed cane, properly in
sclibed in token of appreciation.
Col. Weldy replied in an able
speech, reciting the features of
the canal fight, and thanked his
friends for this public expression
OF approval of his conduct.
The affair was a very pleasant
feature of Logan customs. The
Representative of the town and
county and State had distin
guished himself and had merited
the. appreciation of the public.
1t was pertinent and proper that
the testimonial s..ould be given.
The Sentinel was for the canal.
1t was especially for the appro |
priation. We have every reason
to believe that John Mcbride
will soon have enough water in
the canal to DROWN ALL DIFFER
ENcEs, and that we can all unite
heartily on the proposition that
Logan is a live town and that the |

The Health Department Employees
Express Their RcRrets-some Fresh
Facts In His Career.
A meeting Of health Office employees
took place yesterday to take action upon
tho death Of Capt. c. G. Simms, DR..
Smith Townshend in the chair, and
Cooper McGinn secretary. In voicing
tho regret at the death of their late CO.
laborer and companion several facts of
interest in his career were developed by
those present. 1t appears that ho served
with distinction In tho United States
navy before the war, having served in
the expedition that succeeded in recover
ing the Arctic explorer, Capt. Kane. with
out tho loss OF single life. He lost all
he possessed by his confederate service,
and returned TO his home, in Georgetown,
soon after the close Of the war, entering
the health department soon after tho APP
pointment OF DIR. Towushend in 1873.
The sentiment OF the meeting, which was
Of unaffected sadness, was formally voiced
In series Of rreambles aud resolutions,
tho principal enc OF tho latter being that
"in tho death Of Capt. Simms wo have
each OF us losta loyal, steadfast, and be-
loved friend, the department. has lost an
officer who was faithful, efficient, enor-
getic, and untiring. tho community a
true and respected citizen. tho circle Of
society an ornament which cannot BIO re-
placed, and his own home circle loved
and loving father and devoted husband"
1t was also resolved to attend in body
the funeral, which takes place at p. m.

Said L: "Mr. Chaffee, what kind of
"reminiscences is Gen. Grant writing?"
II understand" said Mr.. Chaffee, ''that
he is writing his recollections of his
career between the surrender of the con-
federate army under Gen. Lee to him
and the close of his political administra-
ton"
All who were present applauded this
sslection of Grants career as the most
needful to be portrayed. Said Mr.. Chat
foe: II never knew Gen. Grant to BIO so
interesting aud original as when review
ing the events OF Johuson's administra-
tien. A great many things happened at
gress, that / knew nothing whatever
about, and Grant is informed about every
thing"
Gen. Grant preserves the homely SIM
plicity of his character, that which has so
much attached to him men of all parties
who have had the pleasure Of his acquaint-
anco. If he had beon successful man in
business have my doubts whether he
would have retained rs many friends.

man of talent, and ought to have sue
ceeded at anything"
But it was his fate to be tho victim of
the most remarkable swlndle in the BUSH

depth Of his distress was so silent and
profound that tho meansst enemy was

In this book now being written by his
