NET DEATH ON THE WAY.
Sad Fate OF Two Young Men who Left
Rock Island in Search Of
Employment.

Last Saturday evening two young men,
William Wright and NJ. d. Bruce, stone
cutters by trade, started for the west in
search of employment Both had worked
on the Government Island. but times be-
ing dull here, they were in hopes of finds
ing steady work farther west Intelligence
has reached the city of terrible disaster
which had overtaken them, resulting in
the death of one. and probably both, A
telegram was received at midnight stating
that a collision had occurred on the
Union Pacific road at Sidney, Nebraska.
in which man by the name of Wright,
from Rock Island, had been instantly
killed, and another man, whose name
could not be ascertained, had met sim.
liar fate. The probabilities are that the
other Is Bruce, as they were travelling to-
gether.
Wright was 80 years of age. and son of
Charles Wright, who is also stone ma
son of this city. File had lived in the city
for twenty years. his home being on
Twenty first street, where he left a young
wife and two small children. His cons
panion, NJ. D. Bruce, was in the neigh
borhood of 35, was married and leaves
wife and an adopted child. His home
was in Brooks addition.
An ARGUS reporter called on Mrs.
Wright at her little home, 227 Twenty
first street this morning. and found her
weighed down with grief over the dread-
full news concerning her husband She
said that she had heard nothing direct,
but believed the man killed was her hus
bard. He left here quite unexpectedly
Saturday night. Coming home from his
work on the island AS usual, he told hei
that Mr.. Bruce and himself were going to
Minneapolis to work. Mrs. Bruce told
me afterwards, though said the grief
stricken woman that they had gone to
Nebraska; she said her husband told hel
that there was where they were bound
for That is all | know about it, but
fear it is my husband that is dead"
The home Of Mr.. Charles Smith, or
Vine street, father of the man reported
to have been killed, was also visited by
an Argos representative, but nothing
new was learned there. Mr.. Wright tel
egraphed to Sidney for particulars, arc
was anxiously awaiting reply.
! Press reports so far fail to mention The
catastrophe, and from this fact the rela
tives Of the young men may still receive
l. ray of hope.

Obituary.

The Geneva, IN. Y Gazette contains
the appended obituary notice concerning
the death in New York City. March 25th,
of Maj Charles E. Pease, for several
years resident of this city, when be
made his home with his sister, Mrs. W.
W. Esgleston:
Major Pease was born in Albany and
was graduate of Union college. At the
outbreak of the war he enlisted as pri-
vate 10 the 4ith New York, Familiarity
known at that time as the Ellsworth
Avengers. This regiment had its first
service on the peninsula at Yorktown ard
went through that campaign. For gals
liant service he was selected by Brig. Gen.
VanAlen as member of his staff, and
after the abandonment of the peninsula
he was for further gallant service COM
missioned by the president as major and
assistant adjutant general and detailed at
headquarters of the army of the Potomac.
As such he served under all the generals
commanding the army of the Potomac
| from Mcclellan down to Meade, and was
actively engaged in every battle fought
| by that army, including the fifty-one
days fight before Petersburg and Rich
mond, up to the surrender of Lees army.
During lis term of service it was his
peculiar lot to meet with many noted
men and many historical incidents. The
lamented John Sedgwick fell while Ma
| jor Pease was delivering to him an order
from headquarters, and at the final close
OF the war the major was present at the
meeting between Generals Grant and Lee,
and an eye witness of the memorable sur
render, After the papers were signed by
the commanding generals it was neces-
sary to communicate at once with Gen.
eral Meade, who had orders to open fire
on the confederate forces within a given
time. The only way to reach Meade in
time to stop hostilities was by passing
through the confederate lines, and Major
Pease accompanied General Lee at his
request and by order of General Grant
through the lines for that purpose, and
with Lees pass, which he has always kept
and cherished, he first announced tl
Meade the surrender of Lee. 1t was
Major Pease of whom the many accounts
of this surrender speak while passing
through the confederate lines that it was
said, there goes Yank, boys, the jig i:
up" Major Pease was a member OF the
Legion Of Honor and the Lotus club il
New York. He leaves wife and one
child surviving him. His father MIR
Richard II. Pease, has been for some
years resident of Geneva, making his
home with his son IN law, Mr. Theodore
Sill; and Major Pease will be remembered
by manv friends as summer resident
with his brother-in law, Mr. Sill

Dutlful DapQhteYs.

Lena and Bertha Kraft are two intelli-
gent and Woodworking German girls, who
arrived in Rock Island about two years
ago. They left their parents and BROTH
ers in Germany. determined to live
in America, and in due time to bring
their parents here, too. The girls
secured places in the households of Judge
Adams and w. H. Judge. 1t has been
their one ambition to save enough money
to defray the expenses of their parents
trip over the ocean. A year ago they
sent for their eldest brother, and on ar
rival here he went to work for Jens, the
milkman, in South Rock Island. The six
hands could accomplish more than the
four, and this spring the children here
decided to have the remain der of the fam
ily-father, mother and three brothers
settle here Money for the trip was &C,
cordingly sent them. Meanwhile house
was Ituttu anu luIuls tuclI TtCcD-
ton on Sixth avenue between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. A dispatch
received the first of the month
stated that they would arrive at
Baltimore on the 10th inst, but
it now seems that they left Germany on
that date, instead Of arriving in America.
Mr.. Henry Lemberg. a cousin OF the girls,
received dispatch from their parents last
night, stating that they had arrived at
Baltimore all right, and would be here to-
morrow night. AS they had been on the
ocean for nineteen days, some uneasiness
was felt for their welfare. The pleasure OF
the Misses Kraft over the anticipation Of
meeting their loved ones again, and hav.
ing been the means of providing them a
home here, can hardly be realized. Such
flial affection and industry as they dis.
played cannot be too heartily commended
