Obituary.

MARVIN Thomas G. Marvin, father of
Morton Marvin, died very suddenly on
Wednesday night of last week, at the home
of his son ON East State street. He had at
tended both the morning and afternoon ses-
sions of the legislature on Tuesday, and on
Wednesday he was out to see President
Harrison. The excitement doubtless af.
fected him, for at breakfast Wednesday
morning he showed lack of appetite for
the first time in seven years. Returning
home after seeing the presidential process
sion, he did not give evidence of serious ill
ness and he retired at his usual hour with
out assistance. just before twelve o'clock,
however, he was taken violently i'll with
neuralgia of the heart, and within ten min
utes he was dead. The funeral took place
on Friday, a service being held in the morn
ing at ten o'clock, at which Rev. A. b.
TruaX ofiiciated, assisted by Rev. &. w.
Gallagher and Rev. e. A. Bishop. The re-
mains were taken to Alburgh and buried at
the side of the wife of the deceased, Mr.
Marvin came of family remarkable for its
longevity His father lived to the age of
96, and his ten brothers and sisters all lived
to an advanced age. A brother, Rev. David
Marvin of Alburgh is still living. Mr.. Mar
vim was born in Alburgh, December II, 1901,
and lived in that town the greater part of
his life, following the business of farmer
exclusively. About eight years ago he
came to Montpelier TO reside with his son,
and since coming here he had become quite
widely acquainted in the community. He
had been Mason since 1924 and had al
ways been member of the Methodist
church. A daughter-Mrs. Phoebe A. Kins-
man of Rocky Brook, Conn.-is the only
surviving child except Mr.. Morton Marvin.

NUMBER 80.

The venerable man retained his physical
and mental powers to a remarkable degree,
and most interesting fact is that his eye
sight was better than 1t was twenty years
ago. Mr.. Marvin was very highly esteemed
by all who knew him.
RANDALL. j. Il. Randall of Rutland
died at West Randolph about midnight last
week Friday night of paralysis, from which
he had suffered for some years, The re-
mains were taken to Rutland by Mrs. Ran
dali and Colonel and Mrs G.. ii. Joyce on
Saturday, and funeral services were held at
the Bardwell house Monday afternoon,
MIR. Randall was born in Braintree, SEN
tember Is, 1923, and was one of family of
twelve children, of whom Rev. E. II Ran.
dali of Poultney and Mrs. G. II. Joyce are
the only survivors. He was proficient
civil engineer and architect, and when his
brother, Gordon p, left Rutland to 90 to
Syracuse, n. Y, Mr.. Randall succeeded to
his business He designed and superin-
tended the construction of many buildings
in different towns in the state, including
Montpelier, where he was well known,
He was twice married, his first wife being
Elizabeth G. Bailey of Rutland, who died
in 1860, and his second being Harriet e.
Forbush, daughter of DIR. o. r. Forbush of
Montpelier. Since 1887, when he had an
attack of paralysis, he had been at the
home of DR.. Forbush until about eight
months ago, when he went to West Ran
dolph. In 1876 he was the democratic can
ddate for congress in the First district,
and under President Cleveland he was ma
tional bank examiner for Vermont Mr..
Randall was widely known both as a busi-
ness man and socially, and among all who
knew him he was sincerely respected.

Greedy and Lincoln.

The Century for July has hitherto I'M
published and probably undelivered adj
dress Of HORACE GREELEY on ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. Much Of it is devoted to Mr..
LINco1.N's reasons for issuing the emanci-
patton proclamation.
MIR. GREELEY himself believed that a
NAPOLEON or JACKSON could have
"crushed out secession in single short
campaign. almost in a single victory" but
in this address he said that such return
would have not merely left slavery intact,
1t would have established it on frmer
foundations than ever before. The me-
mentarily alienated North and South
would have fallen on each others necks,
and amid tears and kisses have sealed the
Union by ANONYMOUSLY making the blacks
the scape-goat of their bygone quarrel
and wreaking on them the spite which
they had proposed to expend on each
other
SO loved the North the negro, according
to Mr.. GREELEY, and no doubt he was
right

Others declare that thcv should stop

offence until the community thoroughly

vantage of tho company. and in the end "
would be better for the street-car patrons,

how many millions OF dollars of green
backs can be kept at par with gold by the
law which puts greenbacks and gold upon
an equality at tho custom-houses and in

sibly a thousand million of dollars. Yet
We are oil the time in fear of fall to a sill

at any rate we have spared fifty millions OF
it recently. We have silver to sell, aud
cotton and tobacco which cannot be had
In any other country. and must therefore
be sent from here.
In addition to these resources, we have
hundreds of millions of Government bonds

Extended Street-Car Service.

II the Broad-street car line is allowed to
be extended 10 the Exposition-Grounds in
one direction and TO Chimborazo Park in
the other, we will never hear anything
more about 1.-The Broad-street viaduct."
The latter scheme, when it had most VII
tally. did not receive the expected sup
port from the east end of the city, aud
such line as is proposed now would CON-
pletely finish u.
Church and Union Hills ought to be
thickly populated. No other section of
the CITY can compare with them in natural
beauty. but the valley of Sbockoe Creek
and the wall-like hills which rise there
from make communication with the west
end difficult, and for many years Rich
mond's growth was altogether up town.
But since the Union car line was
built. Church and Union Hills have en-
loved great prosperity. Hundreds OF new
hopses have been erected there and it is
noteworthy that the census shows that
tho district of Henrico county which has
made BY far the greatest increase in popu-
lation, is Fairfield. which adioins Jeiier-
son and Marshall Wards.
This portion Of Richmond--so deserving
of municipal favors. yet upon which so few
have been bestowed-is still cut off from
direct accommodation with Main street
by some ihcomprehensible policy. In
other words, Manchester has advantages
which are denied our East-End hills. But
at last the people are becoming aroused to
the injustice Of which they are made the
victims tor the supposed benefit of some
other locality. and at meeting of the
Street Committee night before last petit
tion was presented 10 it. and by il referred
toasub-committee asking thatthe car line
be extended down Twenty first to Main.
II this is done the good effect will be
seen in an increase Of the value Of property
on Church and Union Hills. 1t will afford
TO travel immediate relief. Later on the
i Chimborazo-E Exposition line win be built.

Greater Taxes.

Numbers Of our people who have paid
their city taxes recently cannot under
stand how il is that their bills are so much
larger than they were last year." They
will make a like discovery when they come
TO hand in thei. dues to the State.
The explanation is PLAIN. Tho rate has
not been increased. but in 1890 there was
a new assessment OF real estate. The
valuation. in hundreds Of instances. was
put higher than at tho previous assess
ment. which was in 1885.
Tins is thing which everybody in Rich.
mond should certainly know, but which we
are sure Thousands do not.
Hence this explanation.

prove a valuable feeder 10 two Of the Terminal
Company's controlled lines. IL connects with
the Georgia Pacific near CordOva on the south
