residence, No. 12t Market street. Yester-

Shortly after supper he began to COM

and about the time named died in the
arms Of his slster-in-law. Mr.. Smith
had been In ill-health for many years and
DR.. Hughes, who was called, attributed
his death TO heart disease.
The deceased was born on the Rock of
Gibraltar fifty-eight years ago. His
father was an armorer In the Forty second
Highlanders of the British army, station
ed at that fortress. Mr.. Smith learned
the printing trade in Dublin, and in 1856
came TO this country and sought occupa-
ton in that line. After holding positions
In Washington and elsewhere. he came
to Wilmington in 1861. In 1876 he again
went to Washington, but returned In
1878 and was employed In the printing
Office at Eighth and Orange streets. He
left here and for time was In the EN-
