MEMORIAL SERVICE.
A Large and Interesting Meeting at the
X. M. @. A. Rooms.

The Y. M. G. A. rooms have per-
haps never witnessed a meeting of
such warmth of feeling and sympa-
thy as the one held in memory of
Norman s. Neblett yesterday.
Promptly at 3 o'clock the GAINESVILLE
Band Orchestra opened the song SER
vice with the hymn, "Nearer my
God, to Thee,' after which the large
audience joined heartily in short
song service.
DIR. Lupton then spoke of the ia
vorable impression made on him by
Mr.. Neblett, dwelling at some length
on the fact, as illustrated in his life,
that mans character in commu-
nifty is known for good or evil very
early in life. He also spoke feeling
ly of Norman's work for the Asso.
citation, emphasizing the fact that
though for years most faithful
worker, it was above and over all his
Christian life that made him head
and shoulders above other young
men in the community.
Rev. A. M. Growden, Norman IS
pastor, spoke next of the departed
ones usefulness as member of his
church as he learned to know him in
his capacity as pastor.
The meeting was then thrown
open for remarks from other friends
present, and one after another the
young men who had been associated
with him in the work OF the Y. M
c. A. arose and told how they had
learned to honor and love him for
his many noble qualities of mind
and heart. One said: 81 shall al
ways regard him as one of the no
blest and best young men / ever
knew" Another said: "When ]
called a meeting Of the board of di-
rectors of the association | would
mentally count up how many we
could depend on 80 as to be certain OF
quorum, and / always counted in
Norman Neblett; l said to him once,
If / lived as far from the rooms as
you do | don't think / would come.
He laughingly replied: ooh, ]
don't mind" Another said: 81
admired him because he could be
depended on"
Norman was one Of the original
directors and had served faithfully
since 1887 through "thick and thin"
up to his death. He was always one
of the strongest supporters of the as
ISOLATION financially and was look
ing forward with great hope to the
time when our young men would
have a suitable building for their
work. He often spoke of this and
doubtless would have been one of
the most active in its erection had
he lived.
Truly it can be said of him !:
Though he were dead yet shall he
live." We miss him and look
around us and wonder who will take
his place. +. p. LOOSE,
Gen. Sec'y.

OVERWHELMED BY THE SEA.
Amber Miners in Prussia Drowned Lik,
Rats in a Hole.


Rats in a Hole.
BERLIN, Feb. ia dispatch received
from Konigsberg, East Prussia, reports
a peculiar and fatal accident that has
occurred near that place. The govern
meat Of Konigsberg is bounded ON the
north by the Baltic, and along the shores
of this sea is obtained large proportion
of the worlds supply of amber. This
substance is there partly cast up by the
sea, partly obtained by means of nets
and partly dug out of bed of bitumin-
GUS wood.
Friday night an exceedingly heavy
sea was running in the Baltic and the
high waves swept far inland past their
usual bounds. Close to the shore, near
Palmnicken, a small fishing town, is an
amber mine in which a number of men
were working. They, of course, had no
knowledge of the fact that the rising tide
was bringing the heavy sea in dangerous
proximity to the entrance to the mine;
in fact such condition of affairs was
never dreamed of. Suddenly the water
began to pour in the mine in perfect
torrent and began to fill small workings.
The men made a wild rush to escape,
but sixteen of them found it impossible
to breast the current in which they were
engulfed and they were drowned.

This was 36O less than in August: it was Al less than in September, 1891, and 26 more than the average number of deaths m September for the five years preced- ing the present. Regarding cholera as retormer, the bulletin says: ''The most notable movement m matters concern ing public hyiene which has happened for many years, is the simultaneous effort during the last month or two in almost every town, city and village, to be clean. With a general approval, which has never before been SO nearly unanimous, sanitary inspections have been systematically undertaken from house to house. Streets :. have7s been cleaned, vaults and cesspools have been emptied, the back yard garbage heaps have been removed, the purity of water supplies investigated, and better drain age provided.

 The debt of Union Center school dis trict is $24, ,577. 50; of Union City district $1 ,OOO. This should be wiped out before the completion of the new school build ing.
 A lady's breastpin was found on the street few days since. The owner can have the same by applying to John Hall.
