SENATOR BUTLER BEREAyED.
Sad Death of Miss Elise Butler at high
lands, Monday.
THE State, 22d.1


The very sad intelligence of the death
of Miss Elise Butler was received IN
the city yesterday. Miss Butler was the
youngest daughter of South Cardinals
honored Senator, General NJ. G. But
ler.
Her death will be shock to legion
of friends in many States where she
was known and loved. It was only a
few months ago that she paid visit to
friends in this city. She was the picture
of beauty and health.
From correspondent at Walhalla
The State learns that Miss Butler died
at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. About
week ago she left Asheville and went
to Highlands, not very far from Seneca
City. Senator Butler was by her side
when death came 50 unexpectedly.
Miss Butler was twenty-five years OF
age. She was social fayorite wherever
she went, and even at the National
Capital she won many friends and ad'
mirers by her sweet and attractive dis
position and her many lovable traits.
Death has, indeed, claimed q shining
one for its own, and spread its sleep
instilling wings OVER blossom ofyou.h
and beauty.
