DEALERS IN
GENERAL MERCHANDISE

Having purchased the complete
stock of general merchandise
formerly the property Of w. T.
Jones & Co., and have transferred
it to their own store at the corner
of Main and Cranberry streets.
The largest part of this stock is
new and Of the best quality, the
groceries are just as good as tho
they had been bought to-day from
the Chicago market. A small
portion of the piece goods may be
slightly shelf-worn, as is always
the case after such merchandise
has been offered for sale more
than one year However this has
nothing to do with the decision of
Messrs. Johnson, Hill & Co., and
the inducements they offer to their
former patrons as we'll as to new
customers. They will sell the
whole of the Jones & Co.'S stock
at cost. Similar offers are often
made as mere boasts to secure
trade Here, we tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth.

Army and Navy Reunions.

1t has heretofore occurred at G.
\. r. National Encampments,
survivors Of the same Regiment,
Battery or Boat who are in attend
ance and who have not met since
the war, are unable to find each
other by reason of having no
designated place or time to rally,
and comrades living thousands OF
miles apart learn too late Of the
others attendance at the same
encampment. To avoid such
conditions at the coming Encamp-
ment in August, there will be a
reunion of every Regiment, Boat
and Battery that served on the
Union side, and the time and place
of such meeting will be announced
in advance to every Veteran who
sends name, regiment, battery OF
boat and Postoffice address to
c. K. PIER, Sec'y,
Milwaukee, Wis
Officers of regimental or other
reunion societies should give
early notice of meeting and if sent
to above addres, same will be
published in the official Encamp-
ment Bulletin and reach every
soldier and seaman's notice.

to paint a picture OF a waterfall, a
lake, blooming flower. In all her
work of art she was inspired with
fame of hope and enraptured,
she worshipped at the feet of Him
who gave all art. Her soul was
a-hre with progress in her work,
and when the shrine of music arose
within the soul she was aglow
with JOY born Of inspiration, The
guitar strings never vibrated to a
greater devotee of music. Its
strains filled the chambers of her
soul and stamped them with a
wild delight of joy
She was in love with natures
world in which she saw designs Of
the Author of all life. The
products of the field grew golden
in her sight in which she saw the
toll of men. The murmur of the
ripping waters was music to the
soul. The mind delighted in all
action, Of flying clouds and sha-
dows, of waving ripened grain, of
moving cattle standing in the
sunshine of repose. The busy
hum of teeming life drew from her
the thought Of love stamped in
the world. She loved the growth
Of flowers expanding into life.
The sweetness Of their odors were
gifts to saddened hearts. She loved
the toll Of life that gave the
pleasure Of repose.
This good woman has passed

ajar to welcome pilgrims on their

husband is not alone in his
bereavement, where she has
walked the paths Of duty tokens
Of respect have grown into regards
Of love. The grave Of bygone
years will resurrect her acts OF
kindness for she lived life OF
active fullncss. There was a
pleasure in every action that
tended toward the right.
She was one Of those rare char
acters which combined the rare
quality of great force with sweet
gentleness.
She condemned in strongest
terms the deeds of wicked men
though generous to fault with
human fraiIty. To US her life is
past she lays herself down to
pleasant SAUNDERS to wake no
more. Her dreams of earthly
hope have ceased. The white
shroud was the truthful emblem
that she was good in deed and
act to those she left. Nav the
clouds of sorrow Of her loved ones

The funeral services took place
at the Congregational Church
Friday afternoon at , o'clock,
Rev LOOMS officiating, assisted
| by Rev Smith. The church
building was crowded to over
flowing and the services simple
and impressive, emblcmatic of the
life in whose honor they were now
held. The floral decorations were
beautiful. Upon the right of the
remains was a beautiful floral
tribute from admiring friends
! representing a guitar; upon the
left was floral representation OF
an artists palette, and other
decorations of like merit. The
I sermon was excellent and the
singing consisted Of those hymns
which the deceased loved so we'll

Of teams followed the remains to
the cemetery where they were
deposited in their last resting
place which had been nicely
decorated by deft hands with
flowers and evergreens.

a sad scene

Conductor Tom Strain, of the G. B =.
q O., had a somewhat peculiar and sad
experience while going into st. Louis on
his train the other evening The Repub-
Tic OF that city describes it:
A peculiarly sad scene occurred on the
c., b. 81 Q. express shortly before 6
o'clock last evening, as it was passing
through the tunnel to the depot 1t was
the train from Lincoln, Neb., and among
its passengers were Mrs. Anna Owens,
her two children, aged 5 and 3 years re-
spectively. and her sister, Miss Carr.
They had tickets TO Jackson, o., and Mrs.
Owens was suffering with consumption
When the train left Relay depot on the
east side, the invalid became worse, and
when the train emerged from the tunnel
1t was seen that she was dead. Miss Carr
was almost Frustrated and the cries of
the children greatly affected the passen-
gers. Conductor T. V. Strain learned
that Miss Carr had no money with which
to secure a coffin for the remains, and
that she would not lie able to get the
body to Jackson unless assistance was
given her. The big-hearted ticket punch
er explained the flight Of the unfortunates
to the passengers on the coach, and
started fund by subscribing SIS. In a
few minutes $50 was raised, which was
turned over to Miss Carr. Arrangements
were then made to ship the remains to
jackson.

The Gamma gael Funds.

Alexander Sullivan, the noted ex pres
ident of the Irish national league, app
pears to be in a very unpleasant predica-
ment, even supposing that he is not at all
connected with the Cronin assassination,
which, however. there are strong suspic>
ions that he is. But the murder aside,
he is still in tight box. A few days ago
the Chicago Tribune plainly charged that
he had used the funds of the Clan ma
Gael in his private speculations-in other
words that he had stolen those sacred
funds contributed out of their scarcity by
poor working men and women for pa
triotic purpose. 1t is not likely that a
responsible newspaper would incur the
financial risk of making such terrible
charges without proof of their truth
That the Tribune has not done so is
shown by the testimony at the inquest on
Wednesday. when checks were produced
aggregating 100000 transferring that
amount from Alexander Sullivan "agt,
presumably for the Clan na>GaeD to
Alexander Sullivan as an individual,
which checks were in turn made payable
to j. T. Lester Il Co.. prom nent
stock and grain brokerage firm. This
was shortly after Sullivan bes
came treasurer of the Clan. ma Gael
These checks were drawn on the
Traders bank and it was through the
failure of that institution that the damage
ing facts came to the knowledge of DR..
Cronin and his friends. These revela-
tions 90 far toward proving. what has
long been suspected. that some prominent
professional Irish patriots" have been
living on the fat of the land, swilling
champagne and clothing themselves in
fine raiment off the earnings of poor
washNwomen and servant girls. The SEN
timent that dictated the contributions is
the highest and most unselfsh of the
human heart. and the men who would
confscate these free-will offerings to
their own personal benefit are scoundrels
of the deepest dye.

Telegraph company was awarded a verdict
for "a, l72 yesterday in a suit against John T.
Lester a. Co. to recover S., 900 for the use of
a private wire between Chicago and New
York. In June, 1884, John T. Lester & Co.
contracted for the wire at $40, 900 per annum,
ten-days' notice being necessary to termi-
nate the contract. On Dec 81, 1856, the
company was notified to remove the wire at
once from Lester & Co.'S Office, the latter re-
fusing to pay rent for the same after that
date. The telegraph company did not re-
move the wire until three months later. and
brought suit for the amount due for rent up
TO that time. The court held that defendants
were liable for not giving ten days notice
according to contract.

Pathetic Incidents.

People Rescued After Five Days-M ore
Pathetic Incidents.
JoHNSTowN, Pa, June THE most as
founding feature of the disaster is the almost
incredible endurance displayed by some of the
unfortunates. The catastrophe is now nearly
week old and yet some have come through
it alive after being imprisoned in the wreck
age ever since Friday.
1t was reported yesterday morning that
late Wednesday afternoon little boy was
taken from the ruins alive, and after consid-
cradle trouble resescitated and given over in
charge of his father. 1t was impossible to
learn his name. 1t is thought not improba-
BILE that there are some people alive tied up
In the houses left standing along the lower
part of the island where the laborers have
not been able to penetrate as yet. This may
seem improbable by those who did not see
the catastrophe, but the most sceptical and
cynical have been shocked by the scenes re-
lated by eyewitness and the thrilling stor-
les told of narrow escapes by survivors.
Two More Rescued Alive.
A mother and daug hter were rescued alive
Wednesday afternoon, suffering from nerv-
Gus shock and hunger. They were at once
removed by rescuers and placed in charge of
friends. Both will recover, as neither was
badly injured in bodily sense.
live horse, with harness on, but so badly
injured that it had to be shot, was taken
from a pile of wrecked houses yesterday
morning
\ Terrible Destruction of Children.
One feature of the disaster is noticeable at
the morgues particularly at the Fourth
ward school house. At any time may be seen
lines Of fearful mothers inquiring for young
children and infants. Some say they do not
want to see them if their remains are mangled,
and turn away when told that there are no
children inside 1t appears little strange
that, although the number of lost children
must have been very large, the number
found has been proportionately small.
Fifteen Bodies in a Bunch.
The work Of digging out the corpses yet in
the ruins scattered all over the place progress
ed somewhat slower yesterday. At 10 o'clock
in the morning not one new body had been
recovered. Fifteen bodies taken from tho
door of Alma hall were the last recovered
1t Is impossible to tell when the other I'M
fortunates will be dug out, if at all, although
q large force of men is at work at the hall.
