ue.,,, os Mrs. Henry X. rIiyson.

Mrs. Elizabeth p. Ellyson, wife of
Mr.. Henry X. EIlyson, died at 500
o'clock last night at her home, No. 4O9
east Cary street. Four weeks ago she
was visited with paralysis, but the
stroke was SC slight, apparently, that
it was only discovered by the prscticed
eve of a physician. For awhile she
was quito Ill; then she rallied, but
only to fall into deeper decline, pro.
duced, as now seems probable, by ty-
phoid complications. For the past two
or three days she was unconscious,
only rallyiDg mOmentarily at the sound
of some beloved name. She had no
dread of death. The unspcakable
sorrow Of parting with husband,
children, and grandchildren was hap
PLY spared her, and, blinded latterly
by the effects of her disease, her eyes
were saved the sight Of the weeping
group at her bedside.
Mrs. Ellyson was the daughter OF
Mr.. Luther Barnes, who founded here
an iron-working business, which ne and
his sons prosecuted for forty or fifty
wears. NJ. Joseph +. Barnes, OF Buck
lngham, is now the only living child Of
Mr.. Luther Barnes. 1t was family
Of sound sense and good traits, Of which
the deceased bad her full share. She
early gave her heart to God, and at the
time OF her death was Oldest in menu
bership of all those connected with the
Second Baptist church. She and Mr.
Ellyson were the first persons ever mar.
ried in the present Second Baptist
church building. Of that union four
children surviye-lienry Theodore,
James Taylor, and william Ellyson,
and Miss Bette Ellyson.
Mrs. Ellyson was eminently home
body. Her life was in the domestic
circle, and beyond it she had no ambi-
ton to shine. For the comfort and hap
piDeSs of husband aud children taere

Misunderstanding which, whore as well
deserved as here, no eulogy could be

The funeral will take place from the
Second Baptist church tomorrow after
noon at 4.30 o'clock, and it is expected

New York. will come back toconduct the
services, and return at once to New

The interment will be at Hollywood.

The Soudan.

Trade promises to do in the Soudan
what the sword signally failed to &C
complish--that is, conquer the country
and restore English influence. Reports
from Egypt represent that political agi-
tations In the Soudan are exhausting
themselves, and it is predicted that be-
fore lopg European traders will be able
to 20 10 Khartoum and make sales and
purchases, Is they we're in the habit Of
doirg before the troubles caused by the
False Prophet. The Boston Herald, in
summarizing Egyptian adSicss, says !;
.varicuI Arab tribes have broken
away from 0sman Digna and other lieu
tenants Of the deceased head of the re-
bellicn, realizing that this constant sgi-
tation and these inccsssnt military ex-
pediiions are detrimental 10 their ma
terisl welfare, that NO outlet Is given
for tho produce that they were sccus-
toned to send to European markets,
and that they are also prohibited from
procuring supplies from European
sources. Gradually trade is being
opened westward from Suakin, on the
Bed sea, and Egyptian merchants are
sending large quantities Of wheat along
the coast for sale and barter"
Il is pretty safe to predict that, sooner
or later, the British taxpayers will
make the Soudan pay the cost Of the
woLsELEy expedition.

Decided IN Favor the State.

in the United States Court yesterday
Judge Bond rendered decision in the
case Of y. b. Burgess, former treasurer
Of Northumberland county, against the
States officers. Burgess collected State
taxes in money, and applied for man
domus to compel the State officers to
receive the amount due the State by
him in coupons. The case was argued
before Judges Bond and Hughes last
April, and submitted. Judge Bond, in
rendering the decision, said, in sub.
stance, that to allow this to be done
would be violation Of the treasurer's
contract to settle in money which be
made when be accepted the Office, and
that the only difference between the
sureties and the treasurer was that the
sureties had not misapplied any Of the
money.

of that order-the Supreme Chancel-

Mr.. Douglass was initiated member
Of the Knights Of Py thias in May, 1869,
and took such an active interest in the
workings of the order that in December
of the same year be formed Douglass

NEAT LITTLE swiNDLE.
How Cincinnati officials Propose 10
Make a ROodle.


A Cincinnati special to the New York
Times says The bulk of the contracts
for repayiDg certain streets with Rich
mond granite, under an act authorizing
an expenditure Of 100000 for that
purpose, was given by the old Board of
Public Works to stranger named
Huzzy. A new Board came in soon
after the contracts were let, and Huzzy
has spent the summer thus far in
an effort to obtain a modification of
his contracts from the new Board which
will permit the use of granite from
Stone Mountain, Georgia, instead of
that from the Richmond (ya.) quarries.
just as the new Board returned from
junketing tour to Georgia for the in
spection Of this granite and announced
reasons for consenting to its use, it
came out that Huzzy was merely the
agent Of the old Board, who, while pre-
tending to give the contracts to hin,
really took them themselves. To-day
is published the fact that the Georgia
granite is seyenty-fve cents a ward
cheaper than the Richmond granite,
which would make q difference Of
ESQ, 600 on the contracts. tits also pub
lished that granite for public buildings
in Georgia has been purchased at the
Indiana quarries for the reason that the
Stone-Mountain granite is considered
too soft for such use. If 1t is too soft
for use in building it is Of course worth.
less for paving purposes. The infer
ence is that the $4,000 difference in
the cost is for division between three
members Of the old and the new Board.
One of the members Of the new Board
is reported as saying to-day that they
should pay no attention 10 the hubbub
about the Georgia granite, but 20 ahead
and put it in the streets according to
arrangement.

The st. Louis Globe-Dem0crat has
again become very much interested in
the negroes. In late issue it says:
I'VE have at present three corre-
spondenis in the field--one making a

Southern Atlantic States, and another
in territory lying between those two
great divisions. They will all be heard

our readers that their narratives will be

1t is pretty certain that if our es-

make a point of telling the truth they
will defeat the object for which they
have been sent out.
