Obituary

Mrs. Emma Louisa Nickel, wife
Of John Peter Nickel, was born in
Falls Township, Hooking County,
Ohio. Her maiden name was
Ringhiser. Oct. 9th 1878, she was
baptized and Noy. 2lst 1880, she
was confirmed in the Ev. Luther
an st. Johns church of Laurel
township, Hooking County, Ohio.
To her confirmation vow she re-
mained faithful to the end of her
life. She was joined in holy we'd
lock Aug. -, 1886, to Mr.. John Pc
ter Nickel. Two children were
born to them, of whom the younger
preceded her mother to Eternity
by one week.
For years Mrs. Nickel had been
ailing more or less, and the dread
ful disease, consumption, did it's
destructive work slowly but surely.
About three months ago her mala-
dy began to take a very serious
turn, and it became apparent that
her end was drawing rapidlysnigh.
When she herself perceived this,
she willingly and resignedly sub
mitted her all to the will of Him
who "maketh all things we'll" Her
faith and hope being firmly rooted
in Christ her Redeemer, she not
only found comfort, but also COM
forted and admonished those
around her. 80.
When her end was drawing very
near, she earnestly entreated the
Lord to deliver her from her suf-
ferings, and she asked others to
pray in her behalf to that effect.
1t was her great desire to be with
her Lord in the kingdom of glory.
Her prayers were answered and
her wish granted by the Lord, Feb.
22nd 1892. She died at the age of
26 years, 3 months and 8 days.
Her funeral took place Wednes-
day, Feb. "a, and was largely atten-
ded by mourning friends and rela-
tives. After suitable services at
the house of mourning as also at
the Lutheran church by the under

Mr.. Cresap came to Logan about
1865, and engaged in the merchant
tailor business with Chas. Rose,
continuing till only few years
ago, and was we'll and favorably
known throughout the county. He
was born in Maryland in 1914, and
was in his 18th year at the time of
his death. In his earlier years he
worked as journeyman tailor, in
several southern cities, and lived
in Louisville, KY, Cincinnati, and
other places in Ohio, in Washing
ton, d. G., and West Virginia In
1849 he went to California remain
ing three or four years. He was a
member of Council here for several
terms. In politics he was an un-
flinchlng Democrat. His many
friends will hear with profound re-
gret the news of his death. Funer-
al at the house at 900 this after
noon.
Judge Acker of the Probate
Court, decided the application of
Mrs. Ruth Siddons VS. the estate of
her husband, T. j. Siddons last
Thursday. Mrs. Siddons had filed
a claim of $500 for money loaned
to her husband about 1864 and 1865
with interest, to be repaid by him,
as she claimed, on demand. The
testimony was taken several days
ago and the Court held the matter
under advisement till Thursday.
The Court held that as the testimo-
ny relating to the validity of the
claim was very conflicting, and
the money being loaned if at all,
was made under the statute of 1861,
which permitted husband to re-
duce to his possession wife's prop
erty with her assent, and the stat
ute of 1871, which provided that
property of the wife could be re-
duced to his possession only by the
cypress consent of the wife, and
the subsequent statutes Of 1883 and
1887 on the same subject were not
in force at the time of the alleged
loan. The loan if made, was while
the act of 1871 was in force and he
had reduced the property to his
own possession by implied assent
Of the wife, and she not asserting
her claim for % years had given
an implied assent thereto, and the
case was accordingly decided that
she had no claim. She, through
her counsel, gave notice of appeal

WALL STREET EXCITED.
The Big Shipments of Gold Cause
~ Almost a Panic To-day.
WHAT SECRETARY FOSTER SAYS.
There was No Panic. but Something OF
FURRY. Which Did Not Reach Large
Proportions, and subsided as Quickly
ms IL Arose.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-The excitement
IN Wall street over the recent large ship
ments of gold to Europe was greatly in
tensified this morning when IL was
learned that s4.000,0O) more would be
shipped this week.
"A part of the gold will be shipped on
the steamer Elbe tomorrow and the rest
will 20 on the La Champagne Wednes-
day. The shipments will undoubtedly
have depressing effect on the money
market.
A Washington special says that Secre-
tary Foster has said that the treasury
has sufficient gold for present demands.
and that when IL il found that more Is
needed he can replenish by selling bonds
but at present such action is not neces-
sary. He says this week will see the last
OF the gold shipments for the present.
There was semi panic this morning in
stocks, confined chiefly TO the industrials.
The Lead trust opened at 44l9, sank to
39sl and closed at 43. Distillers opened at
O., ex-div., touched 81 and rose to 605s.
Chicago Gas opened at 909l. droppel TO
So and mounted up TO SIS. The railway
share list lost, as rule, less than per
cent.
Secretary Foster said he has slA,0Oo,-
00O in gold on hand, sufficient for all de
mands and that gold shipments will be
confined to this week.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Secretary OF the
Treasury Foster yesterday expressed him
self freely respecting the alarm felt in fl
nancial circles over anticipated large
gold exports. He said: ";ty duty will
be performed in the interest OF the public
welfare as vigorously as IL my time was
not soon to end. Every resource at my
command will be ayaled OF to preserve
TIE pariey OF gold and silver, as ! am COM
ndnded by law"
''How about the reserve In the treas
ury?"
"No one can obtain gold from the treas
ury without paying money for 1t, and
with the money thus received can recoup
the gold. There is also the right vested
H. the secretary OF the treasury to sell
bonds, IL necessary, to maintain the gold
reserve. The treasury situation, as to the
cash balance, Is such as TO permit the free
use OF cash received for gold to again OBJ

As the secretary's report was prepared
before the present abnormal drain OF gold
to Europe started, Secretary Foster

present pressure and taking all precau
lions TO meet it.

Once an old Englishman, James Scott
by name, travelled about on business until
he was nearly eighty years OF age. He
became celebrated for his punctuality
and method ical habits. Upon one occa-
sion gentleman stopped at an inn much
irequented by Mr.. Scott, and saw fine
fowl cooking.
"That is very good" said the hungry
guest. "You may serve that for my din
ner."
"You cannot have that, sir" replied
the landlord. "That is being cooked for
Mr.. Scott, the traveller"

gentleman. "ls he stopping heref"

"The better to protect and conserve
the values OF my properties, 1t is my de-
sire, and so direct and provide, that the
shares OF any railways and other incor-
porated companies at any time held by
my executors and trustees or my said
trustees, shall always be voted by them
or by their proxies at all corporate meet
ings as unit; and in case my said execu-
tors and trustees or my said trustees do
not concur as to how said stock shall be
voted, then, in view of the fact that my
son George j. Gould has for years had the
management of said properties and is IA
miliar Herewith, and with other like
properties, direct and provide that in
such event his judgment shall control
and he is hereby authorized and empow-
cred to vote the said shares in person or
by proxy in such manner as his judg-
ment shall dictate.
Now, with the great financier gone to
his rest, George j. Gould, not yet twenty
nine years old, steps into control of the
greatest single interest in the financial
market Of America. That he be an able
successor to his shrewd father there is
no doubt,
But few days ago the directors OF the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company
elected him to the presidency made va
cant by his fathers death. He is di-
rector and vice. president OF several other
corporations and will probably continue
TO hold many important positions as the
conservator of the Gould interests.
, In many respects George J. Gould is q
model business man. Few young men in
New York work harder than he does and
has done ever since he entered actively
into business life. He went into his
fathers Office at the age OF sixteen TO take
his first lessons in fnanciering. He de-
voted his timo sacredly to his fathers
interests, and before he was twenty one,
was considered a shrewd operator. The
elder Gould was not slow to mark the
development OF his son and soon had his
name on the directory OF several big rail-
road corporations.
Every day he was at his Office in the big
Western Union building hard at work
and since his fathers death he has, IL
anything, buckled down to business with
increased energy. Saturday is no half
holiday with him. Only a few days ago
he was seen at his desk hard at work in
his shirt sleeves. He 10 pleasant, sffable
and always approschable.
When he was barely twenty-one years
old George Gould married Miss Edith
Kingdom, then an actress OF some note.
Society looked for some opposition on
the part OF Jay Gould to the choice of his
son, but in vain. Time proved that he
had chosen wisely, for although his bride
was in humble circumstances, living
quietly with q widowed mother, she
was in all respects most esti-
mable young woman, and com
manded the respect OF all who knew her.
IL was purely love match, and George
Gould never has regretted his action, Tor
she has proved a most devoted wife and
mother. They have four children, one OF
whom, the name-sake of his grandfather
Jay, is made the recipient OF special be-
quest OF $500, 600 in the will, to be held IN
trust by George Gould until young Jays
