ALBERT EDELEN.


Seldom has our community recei, ed
more distressing news than that Of the
death of Albert Edelen, Esq, while ON
business trip in the State of Texas While
young and in the flush of early manhood
did the dread summons come for him.
From his sorrowing friends we learn that
while on the trip he had an attack Of chills
and fevers, from which he rallied and re-
sumed his work, and in four days thereaf-
ter he died at Brownwood, Texas, ON the
2Sth ultimo. No particulars have been re-
ceived of his last illness, but it is supposed
that he was overcome by the intense heat
of the past week, under which he succumb.
ed on account of his enfeebled condition.
Mr.. Edelen was born at Society Hill, in
this county, on the 18th day of July, 1852,
and was just 40 years Of age at the time of
his untimely death. He taught school in
Leonardtown for sometime in early life
and afterwards at Loy1la College, Balti-
more. About Is yearCago he became
clerk in the large wholseele house of Hurst,
Purnell & Co, and beginning at the lowest
round Of the ladder. by great energy and
industry, Won the confidence of his EN-
ployers, and when death claimed him, he
was the first salesman of the house, and
was acknowledged to he the most success
full out Of Baltimore city. lie determined
10 achieve success and his efforts were
crowned. In addition TO this employment
he engaged in the commission business in
Baltimore city under the style of Edelen
Bros, but generally left the management
of this 10 his brothers, who were associated
with HIM.
Mr.. Edelen in his personal character had
many loveable traits. He was kind and
charitable TO all and many there are who
can bear testimony 10 this great virtue In
him His feelings were always refined
and his breast was always open TO sympa-
thy with all in sorrow and distress. He
was a loving aud dusiful son, and when
the cares of business slipped from his mind,
ifone kind thought possessed him more than
another, il was for the comfort and happi.
ness of his aged and venerated mother.
For this beautiful trait in his character God
will be merciful 10 him. Our heartfelt
sympathies GO ont 20 this mother, with
wish that she may find resignation in her
great sorrow.

If the game of ball which was played at
Hollywood Saturday last between the
Leonardtown Jr., and Hollywood clubs
had had no sixth innings In It, it would
have been as pretty played game as your

did happen TO include an sixth inning, and
thereby hargs a tale.

box for the Juniors, was an enigma. One
by one the home Players banged at those
curves of his. They lunged franticaliy,
but in vain. The Junior infielders smoth-

In good or III report
DIR. Spalding at the time Of his death
was about 80 years Of age but In this short
span Of years he passed q useful and event
full life. He was born near Leonardtown
and received his early education in the
public schools Of that place. About 1858
he was entered at Forrest Hall, an institu-
ton of learning in this county under the
management of Edward T. Briscoe, Esqr.
He remained here until the stirring times
Of the war when he crossed the Potomac
and remained away until the war ended.
While in Virginia he taught school In
Westmorelsnd county and was for several
years the captain OF the Home Guard for
that county. He, at times, engaged In
blockade running and many were the ex-
citing and hair-breadth escapes he encoun-
tered. Amer the war he returned b his
native county and soon determined 70 at
tend lectures on medicine at the University
of Maryland from which he graduated in
1867. In this part of his life was he best
krown1snd mos. useful. He was thor
eughlyfGrfove with the profession he adopt
ed and devoted 80 II his entire energy and
mind. BY natural adaptation and untiring
industry he rose "a an empence seldom at

could sooner win the 6afdence Of those
whose sufferings he aleviated and his pa.
tients had an abiding kai,h in his powers.
His loss is one hard 10 fill and the large
