Funeral Of Mrs. Sarah E. Oosden.

Aunerhi VI mrs ohfan u. O0BQ6n,
The entire community was startled to
learn of the death of the elder daughter
of the late William D. Mackey, which
occurred on Sunday last at about o'clock
a. m. Mrs. Cosden was bright young
lady of % years. She was we'll known
and generally loved throughout this
neighborhood. She graduated at Della
ware College in the class of 1880, and is
the third young lady of her class who is
now deceased. After graduation she ac-
cepted the position of Principal of the
North East Classical Institute, and did
much credit to herself in building up
and carrying on that institution for a
number Of years. Shortly before July
18th, 1885, she gave up her position, and
on that date was married to Mr. George
w. Cosden of North East, and then be-
gan most happy welded life. The first
blow which came upon her was the
death of her beloved father in March last.
The first intimation of her serious illness
was received but few days before her
death, and came like shock to her al
ready stricken family and relatives. 1t
is, indeed, one of the saddest affairs that
has occurred in this community for many
years, made more so on account of the
recent death of her father and being at
the very verge of what promised to be a
most happy life.
The funeral occurred on Wednesday
last from the residence of her mother.
Large numbers gathered at the house to
pay their last tribute to the loved dead.
Many delicate and handsome floral offer
ings were conspicuous, coming from her
pupils and many friends. After an APP
propriate and able prayer by DIR. ]. II.
Caldwell, President of Delaware College,
the funeral procession moved from the
house at a little after one o'clock. Messrs.
DuHamel, Eckel, Whiteman, Huston,
Peach and Ball acted as bearers. Almost
the entire congregation of White Clay
Creek met the funeral at the church, and
filled it to overlooking. The Rev. T..
Snowden Thomas of North East, made
the opening prayer. There was present
the Reverends Thomas, Umberger, Nc
Dowell, Malone, Vallandigham and Por-
ter. ASLEEP in Jesus" "Jesus, Son of
Mary, Hear" and 81 Would Not Live
Away" we're sung by choir from the
Newark and White Clay Creek Churches.
The Rev. Mr.. Umberger, pastor of the
church, delivered an excellent, forcible
sermon, containing consolation for the
bereaved family and many lessons for
the living, and very appropriate to one
who had ministered so faithfully in
church, Sunday school, and in all good
works. He was followed by short re-
marks by the Rev. Mr.. Porter. The
Rev. Thos. r. Mcdowell made the clos
ing prayer. The body was then inferred
close to the grave of the deceaseds faith
er. Here the mortal remains of father
and daughter, living only in memory,
are left to sleep the sleep of the right
eous, and whose sanity lives make the
great resurrection dav n Certainty

LOVERS Four AND MAIDENs FIVE: A
STORY OF THE ALLEGHENY MOUNTAINS
by julius CHAMBERS. Price 25 cents
Philadelphia: Porter x Coates.
This love story of Cresson Springs re-
awakens all the old fascination that O
visitor to that beautiful mountain resort
has experienced. The weird and roman
tic localities are described in gay and
vivid manner; many of the lost tales OF
the Alleghenies have been rescued from
oblivion and upon the pretty thread of a
love tale valuable collection of histori-
cal and Typographical information has
been grouped. A really novel idea is the
foundation of the story. -Four young
men go to Cresson TO pass Il summer
month and they find four charming girls.
At first there is harmony; but fifth girl,
entirely outside the group, resents a
slight that has been put upon her and
succeeds in Disappointing the party to
such an extent that only one couple mar
ry as they originally hoped. Some adj
mirable pictures of clever young women
are drawn, and several keen hits are
made regarding the society young wom-
an who manages her own parents. 1t is
in every way a clever and readable vol
ume. One can enjoy it at sitting. The
fifteen original pictures by J. b. Sword,
N. A., and F. c. Sehell give it addition
al value. Many crisp epigrams are scat
tered through the pages that would well
repay quoting but it would be unfair to
our readers to deprive them ofthe pleas
ure they will derive in picking out the
bright sayings for themselves. To them
we say: Fall to, you have an enjoyable
feast before you"

Do you ask for Its nameP Go ask
Father Joe,
For he and his good-wlfe are sure

It has none.

Just shy

All, Joe, you can't hide IL, you're proud

That now there's one more OF a

And you've grown full inch, indeed,

Since the baby came to you to add

And it's right that you should, let no
one say nay,
For the darling is here, and here
may It stay
For years, many years. as the
comfort and JOY
OF you and your goOd-wife, the
dear little boy.

The question of whether our streetss shall
be lighted by electricity is now being dis
cussed. There are able supporters OF
the cause, and, probably, just as able OPP
posers. The electric light agent declares
that they can place the light ON the
street just as cheap as what is now being
paid. There will be another meeting
held on Tuesday evening. We hope to
see large turnout of our citizens, and
let the question be fairly settled.

4 YOUNG MltNs SUICIDE
a Son Kills Himself in the Prescncc
OF His Father.


OF His Father.
William Nonderlehr OF No. I5 X street
morn west committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head while talking to
his latheri In front of the latter's residence,
at u corner Of Second and II streets north
v,st last evening. Young Vondcrlchr
was about % years old, and the cause OF
the tragedy seems TO have been family
quarrel.
II appears thai the young mans acts had
encountered the d sap roval Of his parents
to so violent q degree that he was not In
vited home to witness bis sisters marriage,
which occurred last evening. Incensed at this
neglect he called at the parental residence
aud was met by his father, who declined to
admit him, believing him to he intoxicated
and hearing him make some threats. The
young man turned from the door, pulled a
pistol from his pocket, pointed 1t to his
head, and fred.
His father did not think at the moment
that he had shot himself, but when some
young men lifted his bleeding head from
the snow the father was speechless. He
directed them TO convey him to the nearest
drug store, where Dr. Herbert pronounced
the wound q fatal one. Death followed iu
about half an hour.
The deceased was stonecutter by trade
His father is employed Gt the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing.
Coroner Patterson being satisfied that the
case is one of suicide, 1t is probable that he
will render q verdict to that effect without
holding an inquest. This will be settled at
conference with the young mans father
