Iulv z Iaaa

WuNuKGroE Coal GAS COMPANY,
July 3, 1888.
When death takes FROM a oonmu-
nifty one who has through long life
taken an active and conspicuous part
in It's affairs, it is becoming and
proper that the corporations which
have had the benefit Of lsng, faithful
and valuable services, should record
their estimate OF such worth.
George Richardson, late president Of
this company, departed this life on the
23d OF June last, after q service Of
nearly 80 years as one OF Its directors,
during all but II years OF which he
filled most acceptably the position Of
Its president; he was honest, faithful
and true TO it's best interests and while
performing his whole dnty 70 the
company and its patrons was uni
formly kind, courteous and considerate
to the members Of the board as well as
to all of its employees.
In the death Of such a man the
whole community suffers loss, and we
deem it duty to spread upon our
minutes this remembrance of our
heartfelt sorrow and regret.
To his devoted family we can only
offer our ten1er sympathy in their
great bereavement, assuring them that
he leaves behind him an unsullied
reputation, that is more valuable than
wealth and more lasting than power.
The secretary is hereby directed TO
send a copy Of this minute to his fam
lily and to insert it in our daily papers.
By order Of the Board Of Directors.

to give free play to the force of the waves,
without presenting much resistance, and
yet she is built especially for strength.
There are two turrets, the one for
ward and the other aft, eight feet high
and seven feet in diamater, constructed
of the same material as the rest of the
vessel-boiler iron. The captains quar-
ters and rooms for the crew are beneath
the after deck. There are matches which
are firmly secured, so that the cargo can
not get wet.
Not having any motive power the "1O1"
has no chance to escape by fight during
a storm. Should her tow cast her adrift,
she may be left till the storm shall be
over the waves doing no damage against
her steel sides, and if she goes ashore she
is supposed to be too strong to break up;
consequently, it viii be safer for her crew
to stay with her than to leave her.
The cost Of the vessel is 45,O00, and
owing to the small crew required. and

will be very light. 1t is confidently
