with sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev.

speaking of the departed uttered earnest
words in behalf of her Christian life, the
faithfplness of her church allegiance and the
beautiful character of her home life. He said
her life had been singularly unselfish. She
was also noted for her thoughtfulness
of others, for the unostentatiousness of her
church life and the unobtrusiveness with
which she performed her benefcens acts for
others. The display of floral offerings were
very effective aud evinced the esteem of the
donors for the departed. The remains were
green cemetery, It being the frat time the
vault has been used. Mrs. Putney was
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Burnham,
with whom herself and husband resided.

| q very happy married life. The husband
| feels that his loss is we'll nigh unbearable.

months ago in considering claims of pro-
perty owners for compensation for the dis
| continuance of Ferry path from the juno
ton of Alton and Monroe streets, diagonally
across the block to Main street, ordered that
claims of Mrs. Catherine Burke, liz Monroe,
William Carroll, IA Alton, John Carroll, 80
Ferry path, jeremiah Cullen, 43 Ferry path,
Mary Sexton, 693 Grand, Mrs. Josephine
Werle, al Terry path, and James Maher, Is
Alton street. The work has been deferred,
but the present board seems disposed to set
tie the affair. As the railroad crossing was
discontinued 1t may be that the company
will be called upon to pay the claims. In
this case, appraisers would have to be ap-
pointed by the court.
