Mr., and Mrs. OBrien were united in mar

the deep sympathy of wide circle OF

her prospects of speedy return to health,
when the news of her sudden death came to
cloud their hearts and cast them down. She

residence. Rev. J. M. Cleary oficiated.
Died between Thursday night and Fri
day morning, at the home of L. Hansmann,
Chas. McDermott The deceased was alone
when he died and no one knows just at
what hour he passed away. Mr.. Hans
mann knew he was not well, but had no
idea he was so near to death, and so knew
nothing of his death until Friday morning
| when he went up stairs to waken him. His
repeated raps received no response, so he
entered and before him lay the wreck of a
once hearty, healthy, strong man. Nc
Dermott was about forty years Of age at his
death. His dissipated habits reduced him
aud threw him into quick consumption, of
which he died. He is an example Of what
the drink habit will bring a man TO. He

home of his wife, Rev. J. NJ Cleary off
ciating.

-Died-Tuesday, Jan. 21st, 80, at he
home in this city, Mrs. Nicholas Stems
Within those two lines is contained trag-
edy. But few of the warmly housed, warm
ly clad, and we'll fed people of this city
have any idea of the suffering and privatior
which others on the same street or per
haps in the next house are passing through
Here is a case of feeble, consumption
stricken wife and the mother of two little
children, who died Tuesday morning after
passing the night on a couch of boards and
boxes, covered only with sheet and an old
overcoat, in bare, freless room, with the
thermometer at six degrees below zero
while the man who had vowed at the altar
to love, cherish and protect her, slept in
the next room on feather. bed. 1t is a
case where man weighing $50 pounds, full
of health and vitality, failed to provide
food for a starving wife and two emaciated
little children and drank down the soup
that kind hearted neighbor had brought
over for the invalid wife. It is case where
being walking on two feet and calling
himself man drops job where he was
earning eleven dollars week because for
sooth, ''the work was too hard" and al
lowed his own wife and children to pass
their existence in room without one chair,
table or bed, without fire in such weather
as this. Mrs. Foster, in the upper part
of whose house Stems and his family lived,
saws she heard Mrs. Stems calling to her
husband the last night she lived, "Oh Mic!
Oh Mic" while the father of her children
and her legal protector yelled back with
blood curdling oaths, commanding her to
SHUT up and go to sleep" She laid there
all through that night suffering the last
papgs of consumption, nearly naked and
slowly freezing to death in an atmosphere
that would have nearly frozen a healthy
person, and one who had had all the good
