Camden Cnins.

Last Saturday evening a company CT
ladies and gentlemen met at the residence
of Mrs. McAllister, on Third street, for
social enjoyment and amusement. Two
of the party we're Miss Clara Holloway, a
young miss of tw enty six years. and Chris
TOPPER Folwell, to whom Miss Holloway
was engaged to be married. Just before
| leaving her home, Mr.. Folwell put on her
fuuera a solitaire diamond engagement ring.
No one in the party seemed to be in better
health and spirits than Miss Holloway. In
resting from a dance and while engaged
ia a game eff encbre she became all at once
dangerously ill, and was seized with vio-
lent spasms which were so severe as to re-
ouIre the strength OF seven or eight per-
| sons to hold her. The joy Of the
ompany was changed 20 horror at the
sight of the sufferers awful condition and
terrible agony. At three O'Clock next
morning, in spite Of the efforts of two
doctors and her friends to relieve her, Miss
Holloway died. The reasoL assigned for
her death was tight-lacing. and the excite
| ment of the dance produced congestion of
the lungs and affection of the brain.
| Surely in the midst of life we are in death.
| Yesterday the body of this estimable young
| lady was aid in the grave.
Among those who had a few words to
say at Mrs. Bratten's gospel temperance
meeting on Sunday afternoon was a young
man and twoyery old men. The young
mans testimony was a touching one ano
| different from the most we hear at public
meetings. He said he bad been impressed
with a feeling that he ought to attend The
meeting, as be believed God had called
him there. Il was never a drinker." he
said, but when | was only a little boy
nv mother vas a drunkaId. My fathel
died when | was twenty-seven months old
7 felt so worried and troubled because
mother got drunk that felt like running
away from home. l begged Of her TO quit
getting drunk. and asked her if she did not
want ms TO be a good boYand live a sober
life. NV sorrow. dear friends, was hard
to bear, but l finally persuaded her to
| stop drinking and to- day rejoice to say
that my dear mother is a Christian woman
and en- the way to heaven.
Then there stood up an old gentleman
who expressed his belief that, although he
is now an cd man, he will live long
enough To see the saloon abolished. Tie
next speaker said be had voted for prohi-
bition fifty five years and expected to con
tinue voting on that line the remainder Of
his life. When neither of the old parties
placed good temperance men on the ticket
he made up a ticket of his own.

of Philadelphia, will address the meeting
