For the TIMES
MoURNFUL AND PLEASANT MEMORIES
on THE DEATH OF MRS. 1t. j. GAGE.

AIKEN, s. c., Feb. IL, 1891.
My DEAR MR. SToKEs.-Wo have just re-
ceived, within three hours of the sad oc.
currence. the intelligence Of the death of
Mrs. Il. j. Gage. The news is not altogether
unexpected. lis effect is to revive ncmc-
rics at once mournful and plcaeant.
1t i, now thirty years since l first went
to Union as Principai vi ia. Union Male
Academy. From then until the present, in
cluding n, different times three pastorates
Of the Union Methodist Church, l and my
wife and children have been closely iicnti-
fed with Col. Gage and his m ost hospitablc
and refined family. Their kindness al
:asso ,,..s mas Ucen well nigh oppressive.
The memory of it is swcc, experience and
trust and believe it will be an immortal
ossession.
Mrs. Gage regard one of the most re-
markahle persons ! have known. Her won
dcrful will-powcr must, with tho blessing of
God, have kclt her alive for years. The
range and class of her reading and stidies
were very unusual for one Of her age. Her
m"iu strength was in the goodness of her
hc,rt. She seemed to be ever studying to
do some Kindness and TO speak some kind
word to those with whom she came in con-
tact While her heart was full Of chari ty
she yet had her candid opinions and homes t
convictions and never pretentcl to like any
thing she dislikcd or to approve any one
whom she was in conscience Bound TO con
denim. Hers was an humble. earnest
transparent Christian character, without
affcctation and utterly withou guile ''Wha
shadows we are and what shadows we pur

n.y." The City Ccunci vf CoiumLi, and
the ! cope Of that, City generally, came very
near going dat OVER the proposition Of W.
i. Xix anh ."o ether representatives of -
New York Syndicate, to buy the canal,
that cost the City and State together $500
600, for $2GO,O0O.
a few cooler and, We think, wiser heads
arc strenuously opposing the sale, mainly
upOc :hc grounds that the price il altogether
too low, and the terms entirely unsatis-
factory. Jasper Mnlcr, who has just
returned from the North with subscriptions
fully assuring the bui ding of q S5OO,OOo
Cotton Mil. to be run hy the water power
supplied by the canal, is most cmrhaticaly
opposed to the sale and says:
1t is ridiculous to think of throwing
away the canal, which has cost the city an,
State 9ouU,,rJu, Ior the almost triilng SUN
of S2GO, 900 and that without any rcstrc'
tons. Tho canal is worth at least II millior
dollars aud should bring something | kc tha
amount. lfthc canal is sold to these parie:
they have the privilege of waiting three
years before they erect mills. We want tu
go right ahead and secure mills To utilize oul
water power at once, which We can do if thu
city will put the rate of water rent ut s.
per horsc power and offer mills exemption
from taxation for n period of ten years.
Other parties have published very forci
bic arguments in the City papers in opposi
ton to the sale, and the good people of tha
goodly City arc getting less hilarious daily
over the proposed transfer of that yaluabl
adjunct to The City's futurc progress.

of Mr. McClosky's testimony on the two tnais Oh INC
suit brought by Mary Maud Watson, involving inc
same properiy, and when IL deviated from inc WIZ
pesses testimony on this trial. Mr. Choate wanted 10
know which was the correct story. Thore were sew
eral sharp passages between the lawyer and the VIII
ness Once when McClosky said that he had written
some things In a letter to John Charles Anderson,
which were not exactly true, which he had written In
the interest oil peace, Mr.. Choate rejoined:
"Then you lied in that letter."
few minutes afterward the witness hit back haru.
Mr.. Choate asked sarcssticalIy, II the witness had
ever heard or read Of the adventures OF Baron Mum
chausen.
"No blackguard ever asked me that question until
you asked 1t the other day." replied McClosky.
McClosky went over the story OF Mr.. Anderson .
haucnations about seeing his dead son w line
on the Battery one day, when Anderson called little
boy up and told McClOsky that 1t was Willie. NC
Closhy asked the boy what his name was and the
boy gave name other than Willie. Anderson
saw in John Hoeys Othce one day, he called Mliie;
Anderson used often TO tell about dreaming OF Wine
and then seeing him in the morning. McCIosky did
not necessarily think that Anderson was crazy De
cause he talked about committing suicide. There were
plenty of men who believed In Sprtualism, ana VINO
talked OF committing suicide, who were not crazy he
said.
Mr.. Choates crossexamination will be continued
