George Eichelberger was born April
III, 1879, and died january IL. 1892 !;
aged Is years, Q months and 6 days.
The deceased was young man Of
irTeproachable character, kind in his
disposition, always ready to do favor,
a most obedient son to bis parents, de-
voted and self-sacri6cing to an invalid
mother. He was never strong, never
wen, yet accomplishing and active in
all his duties. He was COMMUNICATE
in the Episcopal Church, had been for
a year before his death, giving in his
youth his heart TO God who 50 claimed
the redeemed soul.
When told that death was very near,
he was completely resigned to it and
said that this world was full Of trials
and troubles and as he was never well
lie had no desire To live. His life was
short but it was a noble one, and the
manner Of his death was in enviable
consummatiou Of ii. While bis beauti-
full resignation reconciles us ii meas
ure to the death Of cur young friend
we can but regret the deprivation TO
the community Of 50 good an example.
Others might with profit follow in
his footsteps and in full manhood and
vigor. live the life Of active usefulness
denied him. But we are not the or
dainers Of destiny. To Him who Gre
ated we submit the creature.
Blessed are the dead who die in

II X
DEAR SIR. II have received copy
of the Mayors objections to our fran
chise and from them infer that yon
do not want any more, or better, or
cheaper lights, or any foreign capital,
or competition IN lighting.
This opposition on the part Of your
Mayor is 50 vigorous and unreasonable
that have taken special pains to ffnd
ont the cause Of it, which is this !:
That he is an endorser on note Of
z. r. Harrison, Secretary Of the Edi-
SOP Company, given in payment If
stock purchased in that company and
he thinks if another company is start
ed, he will have this money to pay.
! do not know the financial circum-
stances Of these gentlemen, but rather
than that the people of Martinsburg
should be deprived Of an all night and
cheaper light, it would be economy on
the part of its citizens to raise a little
purse for their assistance.
We have made you the very best
and eHly proposition We car afford ~
make and have agreed to do things we
have never been required to do for the
sake Of satisfying all opposition, and
will say that we must have the fran
chise as passed or one like the one
granted to Mr.. Geo. w. Silsby for the
Edison Electric Company of New
York, who were all foreigners, or we
must yacate the field.
We had made arrangements to 60
to another city and locate, and only
consented to come to Martinsburg AZ
| the personal solicitation of Mr. J. b.
Wilson, whom ! have known for q long
time. It~nTNst be dead place indeed
that does not welcome foreign capital
or any other kind it can get to help
develop it. Our own city Of Pittsbnrg
has been very largely built mp with
foreign capital and we do not suffer
by comparison with any other city IN
our land.
+ Lam very sorry TO have troubled
| you in this matter and thank you very
much for the kindness and courtesy
shown me whilst in your city and
should you ever come to Pittsburg.
will be only too happy to render you
any assistance in my power, and
should you give us half an opportunity
and We did not try to induce you to
leave portion Of your wealth in oui
midst, we should say that we had fail
led to do our duty as good citizen Of
the Iron City.
Yours respectfully.
