ed that Mr.. Barnum was connected

date for President of City Council
without opposition, and Milton s. Sim
pers was nominated as the candidate
for City Treasurer. by a majority of
over eight hundred, over Joseph s.
Bond.
This was due in great measure to
the fact that most persons thought as he
had been doing the work of the office
while clerk, be was entitled to the posi-
ton, and that the knowledge which he
had acquired as a subordinate made him
eminently fit to LOld the place of
Treasurer.
Both candidates made an active can.
vass, and during the time the election
was being held drove from poll to poll
looking after their interests.
Before the polls had been open an
hour, 1t became evident that the Sim

way, and after they closed, and the re-
turns were received by Henry F. Pick

The Funeral of Miss SaIIie Cox
Yesterday.

xoBt0rO0y.
The funeral of Miss Sallie Cox, who
died last Tuesday took place yesterday
afternoon from the residence of her
brother.in.law, No. 621 East Sixth
street. The remains were neatly cloth.
ed in a white shroud, with Pirdle, and
almost covered with handsome flowers,
the tribute of loving and sorrowing
friends. They were encased in
walnut coffin with silver mountiugs,
and the funeral was under the
direction of John B. Martin, underta-
ker.
| The solemn cortege left the house at
l3 o'clock, and proceeded to Sc)tt M. 4.
church, of which the deceased was a
member, and a scholar in the Sabbath
school for a number of years. The
entire body of the church was filled, a
number of seats in the centre aisle
being reserved for the family and near
friends.
The services were conducted by the
pastor Rov. T. T. Dreamer, who i'm
mediately after the coffin containing the
remains was placed in front Of the
altar, commenced the services by read
ing several selections of scripture. The
choir than sang, 1--WE are travelling
home to a goodly land," and the Rev.
George Collins offered an impressive
prayer.
The hymn commencing, "We are
told of river, a dark, rolling tide"
was sung, after which an eloquent and
appropriate address was made by the
Rev. Mr.. Creamer. He spoke of the
number of deaths that were occurring
through accident, and said that they
we're warnings that should be needed
by all to be ready, and that this was the
second time within few months that
death had invaded the Sunday school Of
Scott church.
The Bible teaches that there is no
death to the christian: it is only good
bye here, and in very little time it
will be good morning over there. The
christian has nothing to fear in death,
and can say with Paul, thanks be to
God who giveth us the victory, through |
our Lord Jesus Christ" When but a |
child Miss Cox gave her heart to the
Lord, and now just in the morning of
life, as she was passing into beautiful
womanhood she has been called home.
The message came when but II years
of her life were passed, and of those
were years Of suffering, but she never
complained although her sutferings
were intense. He had no doubt that
many who visited her during her i'll
ness learned lessons of christian resig-
nation and fortitude that they will
never forget, and when at last the final
came, she fell asleep like a
little child.
At the conclusion Of the services the
funeral proceeded to Riverview ceme-
terry, where the interment took place.
