OBITUARY.
Ia Memory Of the Late Judge Thomas
W. Keyes.

From, the 8. Joseph No. Daily Herald
Friday, December ., 1892, ali that was
mortal Of Thomas White Keyes was laid
beside his wife, whose resting place his ten
der care has made one of the loveliest in
beautiful Mount Mora.
Judge Keyes was born February l9, 1908,
in the valley of the Shenandoah. He was
the youngest son of Gersham Reyes, one
of the first settlers of the Old Dominion.
From boyhood he manifested taste for
the milling business, and after graduating
from the University of Virginia he erected
an ideal water mill on his fathers planta-
ton, taking his Glands" from among the
dusky dwellers in the quarters" who were
ever ready to do the young masters pleas
ure.
November II, 1885, he married Mary
Louisa, third daughter of Maj. VIM. Broad
us, of Culpepper county, Va.
In 1856 he left the old home and brought
his family to St. Joseph, then but few
scattered houses. Here he spent his ample
means with lavish hand, building the frat
mill and foundry in the place. Both OF
these enterprises, as we'll as others with
which his broad views led him, being very
successful until the breaking out of the re-
bellion. His financial loses during the
four years of the war were very heavy, most
of his capital being sacrificed in his stern
allegiance to the lost cause.
4 man of singularly majestic presence,
with the courtly grace of manner belonging
to the old school of which he was 30 per-
feet a type, his warm and generous nature
won to him the love and reverence of all
who came within the circle Of his friend
ship or acquaintance.
During the thirty-six years of his resi-
dence here he has made not one enemy
Under the stern exterior there beat the ten
derest heart that death ever stilled.
Most of the friends of his youth crossed
over before him, and after long and USE
full life he has gone to join them, and those
of his own household who have entered into
rest
His life, marked by a grand and simple
purity is beautiful example to those who
come after him. Gods noblest work, an
honest man, without fear and without re-
proach.
His living children are Lavinia B., Wild
ow of the late Horace II. Moss, Annie NJ,
wife of DR.. Charles f. Knight, and his
youngest daughter, Miss Mary, whom his
death has left desolate, her lifelong DESC
lation being the truest tribute to his worth.
Kind father, faithful friend, and noble
gentlemen, may his rest be sweet
For three years prior to his death, ne has
been fighting with all the strength of his
firm will, the numbness that grew and grew,
until it reached and stilled his grand old
heart. His good deeds live after him, and
he has found the peace which passeth all
understanding. ;. W.

Col. Jno. Thos. Gibson we learn, has ten
dered his resignation as member OF the
County Court, to take effect the first of jan
uary. This action on his part is regretted
by those who know how valuable his SER
vices have been as member of that body
A writer in the Spirit suggests as his sue
cessor Mr. Jno. T. Colston, and emphasizes
it by saying:
"Mr. ColstoDs familiarity with the poor
and their needs, the poor and their man,
agement, what contributes days work and
its value, besides his own successful business
habits aud untiring energy, fits him in an
eminent degree for the place, and his sp'
pointment and acceptance will give great
satisfaction"

VICTIM OF THE WIRE.
John Hochwinden Is Shocked by an
Electric Current and
FALLS TO THE PAVEMENT BELOW.
His Skull Crushed in and His Brains Are
Exposed to View.
THREE DEEP BURNS ON HIS LEFT HAND

This morning at 12:45 o'clock, while OH
Ger Bowley was making his rounds he found
John Hochwinden lying dead OF the foot OF
an electric light pole at Fifth avenue and
Stevenson street. The officer at once
gave an alarm and patrol No. responded.
The body was taken to the morgue and the
Coroner notified.
There was no one with Hochwinden at the
time, and how he came to his death can
only be surmised He was an electric
light inspector in the employ Of the
Allegheny Electric Light Company.
When - taken to the morgue 1t
was found that there were three deep burns
on his left hand, showing plainly the i'm
prints of where it had come in contact with
the wires charged with the current that
must have caused his death.
Had the current not proved fatal, the IN
juries he received in his fall would most
certainly have done SO. He had fallen
head foremost on the pavement, and his
head was crushed in on the top, destroying
all semblance to human form.
No explanation of the accident can be
given except that while engaged at work on
the top of an electric light pole he had ac-
cidentally come in contact with the wires,
receiving a shock that, if not producing in
slant death, caused him to lose his balance
and fall to the pavement
Hochwindcn was about 30 years old and
boarded at So Seventh avenue He had
been employed by the electric company for
some time and was spoken of in commend
able terms by all who knew him. He was
single and is supposed to have had no rela-
tives in the city.

WARREN, Sept. 8.-[SpeciaL 1.-The Meth
odist Episcopal Conference opened this morn
ing by an address upon methods of Mind
improvements" by Bishop Newman, after
which nearly the entire session was con-
sumed by hearing the reports of ministers
and presiding elders. These reports show
exceptionally large accessions during the
year, and indicate a vigorous financial
standing. The case of Rev. G. 81. Frick
brought out from the Bishop severe repri-
mand Mr.. Frick was stationed at Saegers-
town, Pa, but during the year deserted his
post for an extended tour. He is now seek
ing admission to Western Conference, but
the action of the Erie Conference will prob
ably prevent his entrance there.
A touching incident of the session oc-
CURED when Rev. John Graham, who for
35 years has done effective work, asked to
be retired from active service, q purse of
5000 in gold was raised and presented to
the aged preacher and his wife, in anticipa-
tion of their golden wedding, which occurs
soon. A warm dispute between DIR. A. j.
Merchant and Dr. j. B. Edwards was an ex-
citing feature of the forenoon. DR.. Mer-
chant, in making a report upon the collec-
tion of funds loaned by the Educational So
ciety 60 worthy students, called a number of
the borrowers t'dead BEATS" and added o
resolution which provided for limiting the
loans of the educational money to students
who would pledge their lives to the minis
try. The matter was finally referred to q
committee. - -
