The long and painful Hire IS of Casrry
Hunt terminated last Thursday morn
ing at half past eight o'clock, when the
spirit was freed from its tenement OF
clay.
The deceased was bright and hopeful
10 the last aud, when the Death. angel
came, seemed only like one falling
asleep But few days before, he had
cheerfully declared he was soon going
home. The prophecy was fulfilled, but
how sadly
The remains were brought To his
home in this place on Thursday and the
funeral was from the house on Satur-
day at one p. m. The East q West
Farmers Club of which he had long
been beloved member. took charge
of the services and brought, as visible
token of their regard, large floral pill
low bearing his name.
The sermon by Rev. Clizbe was fol-
lowed by some touching words from
Rev. Anna Barton, and large number
of friends attended his remains to their
last resting place in the cemetery near
his old home.
He was born in Van Buren, Co. in
1916 and, with the exception of few
years, his entire life was spent here.
The bereaved wife and fatherless son
have the sympathy of host of friends.

How the Churches will Celebrate.

Now is the season of goodwill to-
ward man and wherever the Star OF
Bethlehem hath sent its sacred rays,
there will fitting rites celebrate the
time when the morning stars sang to-
gether.
The churches of Paw Paw will con-
tribute their mite TO the universal reioic-
ing, and the Free Baptists are arran-
ging revolving pyramid which is eX-
pected to be very beautiful. They also
have q short program prepared.
A the Christian and M. +. churches
tree will delight the eyes of the young
sters, and afford an opportunity for the
older ones To mingle in a social way and
also to exercise that skill and ingenuity
that has made these churches noted for
the beauty of their Christmas decora-
tons. The tree at the Methodist church
will be supplemented by Il program be-
ginning at z p. M.
The Presbyterians are to give Christ
mas supper to the Sunday school, to be
followed by short program by the
children. There will also be wonder
full chimney constructed ofhollow bricks
filled with sugar plums, with a brick for
every child
The First Baptist society are too much
exhausted by their Bazaar to rally by
Christmas time, but expect to celebrate
New Years instead.
The Christmas services at st. MaryS
will begin with High Mass at midnight
on Christmas eve, followed by second
,rvice at 1870 next day, closing with
the Solemn Benediction.
And thus the Christmas chimes will
once more melt and fade away into the
irrevocable past.

material, and from its ranks Capt. Bonney
of the Colby base ball club, will. no doubt,
find some healthy additions to the ball team.

tents.
The Star this evening prints a paragraph
to the effect that the President is not dis
posed to recall Minister Egan from Chill mp
on mere report, but to wait until the De-
partment of State has some official informa-
tion. The Star also says 1t Is learned today
on the best authority that everything points
to the selection of Judge Butler of Indiana
to succeed Judge Scofeld on the bench
of the court of claims. IL
is said the President will prob
ably permit the secIetaryship of war to
remain vacant until Congress meets, Cen
eral Grant acting as secretary after the re-
tirement of Mr.. Proctor. When Congress
meets. Attorney General Miller will be ap-
pointed to one Of the circuit judgeships, and

filled at the same time. The appointment Of
Mr. Clements as Interstate Commissioner is
believed to have been decided upon. Since
Mr. McComas has again declined the appoint
ment of civil service commissioned. the
President is at loss to find some one to snc-
ceed him fort1e place.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, September 24.-Just

Harmony Baptist church, (colored) during

received fatal injuries, and about 20 people
were seriously crushed and bruised. An all
night revival meeting was being held when
suddenly the gaslights began to flicker bad
ly. owing to some defect in the pipes. The
audience was made up Of nearly 500 negroes,
all under more or less religious excitement.
The weird flicker of the lights appealed to
the superstitions of the worshippers as a su-
pernatural visitation. A deacon arose to
leave and the whole audience arose TO their
feet. The lights then went out. entirely.
One frenzied worshipper shouted Judgment,
judgment" at which the crowd became wild
with fear. A rush was made for the narrow
doors. Cries of murder" and ''fre' were
heard and somebody yelled dynamite"
The stronger ones trampled on the weak,
and rushed out over their PROSTATE bodies
Many jumped from the windows and were
injured in their fall by broken glass. The
panic lasted 10 or 20 minutes. When the
building was lighted up again over a dozen
people lay bruised and bleeding on the floor.
One girl, aged 16. was dead, and at least
three were fatally injured.

preacher brought satchel full of affidavits
to prove that he had never taken part In a
speed contest nor permitted his horse to 60
on the track.
AS to owning fast horses, Mr.. Stires plead
ed guilty and glorified in it. BE asserted
that he was not In proper condition to
serve the Lord In the most effective way un-
less he owned the fastest horse in town.
Notwithstanding the preachers eloquent
