port with the following resolutions:
Oar deceased fellow member, Q. II.

terprfsesof Wheeling, and perhaps longer

associated with him, should count II
pleasure to cherish hia memory Us the
recollection OF one whose lie was in
every way TO be commended. Straight
forward and upright In all his dealings,
conscientious and kind in every relation
in life, he constantly lived before tho

he really was-stru gentleman. There.
fore, as mark Of esteem for his charac-
ter and respect for his memory,
ReSolUed, That in the death OF @. II.
Collier We recognize the loss to our CITY
OF an upright ciazen; 10 ourselves, as
his business associates, worthy ex-
empler; to his family kind and in-
| duIg gent husband and father.
ResOlred, That as q member Of our
Board we personally mourn his death as
