The Death of W. W. G. sites.

The funeral of the late Wilmon w. G..
Sites took place from ST. Matthews Church
yesterday. Rev. Spencer M. Rice and Rev.
Mr. Kolbrook, the latter Rector of St.
Matthews Church, officiated. The at
tendance was very large. The inter
ment was in Greenwood Cemetery
Mr.. Sites was only thirty five years of
age at the time of his death: but he had
achieved for himself the reputation Of
being one of the leading civil engineers in
the State. He WI born in Philadelphia,
but came to this State early in life, and
was engaged in railroad surveying. The
experience of his opening career made him
specially valuable when the new State
Tax Boafd had to look out for competent
man to assist them professionally in tack
ling the new problem of railroad taxation,
to whicA the recently passed railroad tax
acts gave birth. Mr. Sites was made chief
engineer of the State Board. and with the
assistance of Mr.. Harrison, his partner, he
addressed himself to the task of making
complete and systematic valuation of rail-
road possessions. The tholoughness of the
methods he pursued has been shown in the
reports published from time to time in the
TATTIER, of the testimony taken in the
Central Railroad ceytiorGri cases. Every
fragment of track was measured, every
Spite counted, every foot of land surveyed,
and the value of each fixed by careful in
quiry of those best acquainted with the
particular thing In process of appraise-
ment. And this, Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr. Sites was suffering from the wear
ing lung disease that finally, carried him
away. He was a man of tremendous
energy and untiring industry, and it may
almost be said of him that he did not die
sooner because he could not find time to
die. Nothing but his will kept him alive.
For months no solid food passed his lips;
and he was sustained in the labor that
lasted from early in the morning till night
fall only by nourishment of milk and
wine. Three months ago ne was forced to
his bed. Even then he struggled brAvely
against his disease; but the end came on
Thursday morning, when ne peacefully
passed away. He leaves a widow and two
little children.
The death of Mr.. Sites draws attention
to the number of deaths that have DESC
lated families living in his neighborhood.
Within the last year and half there have
been no less than fourteen deaths within
three blocks of his house-and yet the
lcaality is one of the most healthy in the
CITY.

PHILADELPHIA, October 3.-The British
steamer Coventry, Capt. Bacon, bound
from this port to Galveston, sailed yester-
day with only one able seaman before the
mast. 1t is said that the captain of the
steamer told the crew that would sail at
II a. M, and when the crew came down to
the wharf it was discovered that the vessel
had sailed. The crew Immediately notified
the British Consul of the case and say that
the vessel took with her all their clothing,
besides owing them their wages The fine
for this offence is 50, 900, and if the vessel
should happen to go ashore or be lost no
insurance would be paid. The British Con-
sui will probably send the whole crew down
to Galveston by the next steamer from New
York. at the captains expense. He will
also notify the Consul at Galveston to hold
the captain until the crew receive their
clothes and wages
