The interesting programme of the Teachers

tors OF our State may be present, we may, and
doubtless will learn much that will be deeply
interesting, practical and helpful. To any

Mr.. VIM. A. Basil, whose illness
has been Noticed in the columns of
the CAPITAL reps atedIy, during the
last year. passed away lew minutes
before IL O'Clock last night. Mr.
Basil was afflicted with career. The
first indications of its presence was
about eighteen months ago, when .
small hard lump was developed under
bis chin. He consulted the very best
medical skill, yet all their efforts
were fruitless to stay the onward
march Of the terrible disease. 1t
gradually sapped the foundations of
his strength, until the weary wheels
of life were forced TO stop, and his
spirit returned to the God who gave
IT. Mr.. Basil was we'll known in
this city where be was born and rais-
ed. He was quiet citizen, q loving
companion and . kind father. He
was o firstclass mechanic. Many
buildings are standing in our city
which attest this fact. a4t
The last work he did was on the
large store Of Mr.. j. 8. M. Basil, and
the commodious dwelling Of DR.. A.
Claude. He was highly respected as
a man Of strictest honor, il all the
dealings Of life. The deceased made
q profession Of religion, and identified
himself with the Wesley Chapel NJ.
e Church. In the month Of May,
1884. He remained an humble fol-
lower OF Christ, and died In hope Of
the resurrection of the just. Mr..
Basil was in the 5Srd year Of bis age.
He leaves wife and seven children
TO mourn bis loss. e
Downward from their thrones of beauty,
Look'd the sters upon his face,
Upward on the wings of duty,
Sped the angel of Gods Grace,
Bearing through the heavenly portal,
To his blessed home above, H
The dear fathers soul immortal,
TO partake OF Christ's sweet love.
The funeral will take place from
the Wesley Chapel M. Z. Church
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock.

Look out for Fires.

The advent of cold weather every
fall is, for some reasons, attended by
an increase Of fires The Philadel-
phia Ledger forcibly says that house
keepers, janitors and others should
now 'see that all heating apparatus
is in good order, so that when the fires
have to be lighted they may not en-
danger property 1t is mistake to
suppose that the house fues which
we're sound enough when the fires
were put out in June are equally so
after having weathered the summer.
The dampness to which they are ex-
posed in summer has done its oxodiz-
iug work upon them, though they have
not been heated arti6cially- An in
dispensible condition of safety against
autumn fires caused by the proverb-
ial defective nue," especially in
cheaper built houses, is to overhaul
the heating apparatus as carefully as
possible at the beginning OF every
fall.
