OBITUARY.


Hessie r. Phillips, the wife OF Harris J. Phil
lips, was born in Rochester, VT, November 10,
ls5), and died at her home near Middlebury
lip, at Stockbridge July 4, 1873 and Tor a time
lived with her husband in Ripton; but in lSsU
removed with the family to live on the farm
ers place, about two miles northeast OF the
village OF Middebury. While her health had
mo- been robust tor several years, the serious
teMures OF disease did not show themselves
until six weeks before her death.
Ars. Phillips was good example of quiet,
consistent Christian woman. She was seldom
absent from her place in the Methodist Epis-
co3al church, of which she was IA worthy
mCmber. Singularly modest and retiring, she
was yet always affable and cheerful. Her
most striking trait OF character was an un.
common fOrgetfulness OF herself and constant
attention to the welfare OF others. An unusu-
attribute to her memory is found in the state
msnt of her husbands brother, who declares
that after the most intimate family acquaint-
aIce OF fifteen years enjoyed under one root.
Ms. Phillips never gave occasion tor the
slightest unpleasantness. In the double tam.
lily OF which she wasa member tor SO many
years, she was beloved by all, on account OF
her unselfish devotion to the interests of the
home circle She was careful OF everybody
bat herself. One could almost say she was
v.carous in her services to her friends.
The very large attendance OF people at her
funeral last Monday is evidence of the high
| esteem in which she was held by all who
knew her. The beautiful floral tributes spoke
the fragrance OF her faithful life. " In quiet
ness and confidence was her strength" She
died with IA firm hope in her Lord and Christ
While her nearer relatives, the precious
daughter and deeply bereaved husband, to
gether with the other part OF the family OF
which she was II member, cannot but weep
yet they need not sorrow as those who have
no hope" The silent tears shed by many on
the day OF her burial indicated how deep is
the sympathy for the afflicted ones. The Rev
Mr.. Keith was present and assisted the pastor
of Mrs. Phillips in the services at the home.

of the President.
The Republicans carried the Rhode

France is in another ferment. Bou-

details of his adventures up to that time.
The Democrats won in the Chicago
municipal election, Tuesday. The con-
test was warm. The redeeming feature
of the result is that the successful candi-

soon be forgotten.

and perhaps less energetic person of
better judgment would do quite as well
in this position.

took lively interest in the matter and
contributed literally in raising funds.
Now the members of the band propose
an easier and more uniform method of
raising funds, by giving an entertain
ment and selling tickets, so that when
one buys ticket and attends the enter
tainment he will feel glad of the invest
ment. The public will see by the pro-
gramme bills what may be expected at
the entertainment on the evening of the
22d inst. AS overreaching and deception
are so common in every community, it
will be considered great curiosity to
witness system of deception which is
strictly innocent and withal very anus
ing ; and, instead of returning home dis
appointed, those present will feel amply
repaid for their time and money. The
band is completely and fully uniformed,
and nothing is now needed but funds for
new instruments. Let the people turn
out and help themselves and the band at
this time.

The ladies who succeeded by dances
during the winter in paying almost 500
towards the cost of the town hall scenery
propose to add still further to that fund.
The first entertainment, on the evening of
the 18th inst, will have for its main feat
ure readings by Miss Jessie Couthoui,
who was here something more than a
year ago and is genius in her way. The
st. Adams Messenger truthfully said of
her: "Of modest demeanor and attrac-
tive presence. and faultless in the work
she undertakes, this lady more than met
the expectations of her audience. many
of whom had heard her before. She
shows dramatic ability and an artistic
finish which wins for her that best evil
dence of appreciation-close and undiyid-
ed attention. Miss Couthoui is especially
fitted, in the possession of "a clear, efiec-
tive voice and personal magnetism, to
meet the imperative demands of her pro-
fession." In connection with the reading
there will be music, vocal and instrument
tai, by the best local musicians, making,
altogether, an exceptionally fine enter
tainment.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 27.-While Sister Camille was walking alone in tho hall of the Sacred Hall Convent in Elm poria, at 5 o'clock last evening, a man supposed to be Frank Murray, of Terre Haute, Ind, stepped up behind her and choked and beat her until she was un- conscious. He then jumped upon and kicked her prostrate form until he sup posed she was dead, when he left the convent, and so far has eluded the po- lice. This was the third murderous assault made by Murray in the past two months, but the facts have been kept from the public heretofore.
 Murray was Q railroad man of Terre Haute and Sister Camille was one of the nurses in the Catholic hospital there. Murray was taken to the hospital dur ing an attack of sickness and when he was convalescent he tried repeatedly to make love to her and insisted that she should elope with him, foreswearing her VOWS. She scorned his pleadings. When he had recovered and been dis charged from the hospital he continued his prosecutions until she asked to be removed to some other place. Finally she was sent to Elm poria, Kan.

 BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.-The Democratic State Convention, after .reafarming the platform adopted by the National Dem ocratic Convention in St. Louis in 1880, and pledging the party to strict econ omY in State affairs, nominated Col. Henry Baughman, of Somerset county, for Comptroller by exclamation.
