On Wednesday last, Mrs. Sallie

Mr.. ]. P. VAUGHAN.
Mr.. J. P. Vaughan, of the we'll
known firm of Vaughan, Ross & Go.
died on Thursday night, last after
an illness of but three or four days,
during which he suffered most in
tense agony. The cause of his suf-
fering and death was an internal
abscess and blood poisoning.
The funeral was largely attended
from the family residence, on Sand
Road.
Mr.. Vaughan was long connect
ed witch the business interest, of
the city, was a faithful and valued
member of the M. E. Church and
was among the best of our honored
citizens. A large family mourn
his sudden departure.
MR.. 7. N. DAVIS.
Mr.. 1. N. Davis, of the 9th ward,

friends followed the remains seven
miles into the country to Pleasant

THE VENERABLE MR.. CARRIERS
DEATH.
By oversight, we failed to make
more particular mention, at the
time, OF the death of Mr.. Henry T.
Carter, of Upshur County,
He was the revered father Of our
Pastor Rev. J. w. Carter, who with
Mrs. Carter, were with the aged
veteran during his last conflict
before he passed over to the Home
of the Blest. He died at the ripe
old age of 70 years, honored and
lamented by the entire conmuni-
ty. The funeral Services were
conducted by Rev. w. o. Phillips

SISTER SORROWS.
MISS EFFIE RIDGwAY FOLLOWS HER
SISTER GERTIE.
A week ago we noticed the sud-
den and sad death of Miss Gertie
Ridgway, of Buckhannon. Little
did any of the friends think how
soon would follow her companion
sister, Miss Fife Annie Ridgway.
Aged % and 81, and closely bound
in love and loving works, it was
not for them to be long apart.
Miss effie, after following her elder
sister to the grave, took sick at
once OF the same disease, and In
few days followed after.
The same committee of citizens
appointed by public meeting to
express the universal sense of grief
at Miss Gertie's death, reconvened
and tried family to express the
weight of this second blow upon
the family and the community.
Verify the family and friends have
the fullest measure of sympathy
in these sudden sister SORROWS.

dent.
The late NJ. E. Conference at Dillon
granted six weeks time for the people Of
Dillon and vicinity to comply with the re.
qutrements laid down BY the Conference
for the location Of the college at Dillon.
About five weeks ofthat time have elapsed,
and there has been no conspicuous move.
ment made in this part of Montana to
resurrect the college enterprise, which was
considered practically dead when the Con.
ference adjourned. The action of the Con.
ference was fatal to the location Of the
institution at Dillon. Our citizens who
had subscribed literally and donated
ground would not relinquish the scholar.
ship feature in the prospectus, to which
they had SO literally and enthusiastically
subscribed at the mass meeting held last
spring. The action Of the Conference was
surprise. The defeat Of the college en-.
terprise may be attributed to several
causes, principally within the NJ. E.
Church organization, but It DOES not come
in the province Of THE TRIBUNE to discuss
matters which should be settled strictly BY
the NJ. E. Church discipline. When the
"college for Dillon" is buried, THE yn1.
BuNE, in defense Of the people Of this sec.
ton who SO generously supported the
project, will preach its funeral sermon, and
explain how it was killed and the motius
ofera"di by which the killing was accom-.
plished.
