the water pipes throughout the hotel were

aEARTH TO EARTH"

The funeral of Emma II. Close, WHOSE
death was announced in these column:
last week, took place at , o'clock Friday
from the NJ. Z. Church
At an early hour friends from near ant
far tiocked in throngs to pay their last
tribute of respect to their deceased friend
Never in the memory, and hardly, per
haps. in the history of the town, has there
been such general and sympathetic inter
est excited by an event of this kind
Every seat in the large audience room was
filled, and even standing room was crowd
ed
A few selected singers opened the ex,
ercises with Toplady'S Rock of Ages
This was followed by touching prayer
when that beautiful hymn Asleep in Je
sus was sung. Then, at Emma's request
her pastor Or. HOllingshead read those
words of comfort found in John 14tf
chapter, "Let not your hearts be troubled
We believe in God, believe also in me- In
nv Fathers house are many mansions: il
it were not so, would have told you.
90 to prepare place for you"
The reading of this chapter was follow
ed by tender words from the pastor upon
the life and character of the dead girl
Rev. DIR. Alexander, of the Presbyterian
Church, then followed with few appro.
pirate remarks.
At the close of the exercises the large
company gathered were permitted to gaze
for the last time upon the face of theiI
departed friend as she lay so peacefully
"asleep in Jesus" smile of rest lighting
up her countenance.
1t had often been an expressed wish of
Emma that when she died she should be
covered with flowers" Truly, loving
friends had remembered this, as the fra
grant buds and blossoms Strewn in and
about the coffin seemed but emblems OF
the beautiful flowers that will bloom for
her throughout eternity.
At the grave, touching appeal was
made to Him who "doeth all things well, y
and the quiet body was consigned to its
windowless palace of rest"
The tenderest and sincerest sympathy
of host of loving friends go with these
brothers and sisters in their bereavement;
and, oh, how they will miss her as they
turn almost invOluntarily to listen for a
well known step and familiar voice, and
realize that her place in the home is empty
and her chair bv the fireside is vacant for
ever. But let them be comfOrted with
the thought that, although Emma's few
years of energy and activity are over, "a
beautiful life ends not in death" and that
forever her soul will soar in the endless
realms of Heaven.
The members of the immediate family
who mourn this death are three sisters
AID three brothers Lorain, and
Henry B. Close, of this place, Mrs. Mar
shall Morgan, of Harrisville, DR. Geo. A.
Close, of Bellaire, and John A. Close, of
Dickinson, Dakota.

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

Isaac Berry, an esteemed citizen, resi-
ding about one mile Northeast of town,
slipped on the ice near the door of his res
idence on Thursday, and fractured the
right thigh bone. The injury, which is
quite a painful one, is rendered doubly
burdensome to Mr.. Berry from the fact
that he does not enjoy the most robust
health His condition at this writing is
as favorable as could be expected.
DR.. A. H. HeWetsOn is the attending
physician.
William Gay, a young man residing near
Centerville, met with a serious accident
on Saturday, by which he came near losing
his life. He was in the act of blanketing
his horse when the animal kicked vicious
ly and struck him in the face with the
hoOf, breaking his nose and badly bruis-
ing his cheek. The unfortunate young
man lay insensible for time, and it was
feared that death would ensue, but at last
reports he had recovered consciousness
and was as comfortable as the nature of
his injuries would allow.
DR.. J. n. McMasters rendered medical
attention.
Edgar Williams, while coasting with
some companions on Saturday, was struck
by sled and his leg broken below the
knee. He is a gritty little fellow, and is
getting along with his hurt bravely. DIR.
Hewetson reduced the fracture.
Leopold Ackerman, the Martins Ferry
butcher, fell from his wagon in North
Wheeling on Tuesday, and was severely
hurt, being cut about the head in several
places.
