ABRAM HAYDEN, JR.

Sad Death of Prominent Demo-
cratic Politician
After lingering illness of several
weeks, Abram Hayden, Jr., died ON
Monday morning of gastric troubles, in
his 48th year.
He has been sufferer for several
months from an abcess of the bowels,
and last Saturday week the attending
physicians decided upon an operation
whereby they hoped to remove the
cause. A specialist from Philadel-
phia was summoned, .sthe operation
was successfully performed, and the
patient seemed to be in fair way to
recover until Sunday evening, when
he grew rapidly worse until death re-
lieved his sufferings. MIR. Hayden
had for several years resided at Tay-
lor's Bridge, from which place he re-
moved last spring. He was we'll
known in this vicinity, being prom
nent member of the Democratic party
in his hundred, and one of the best
auctioneers in this section. The fu-
neral took place on Thursday morning
and was largely attended. The SER
vices we're held in Friendship NJ. E.
Church.

CHURCH NOTES.

The rector of st. Anne's, Rev. Joseph
Beers, will preach sermon in me-
moriam of Bishop Phillips Brooks, on
tomorrow, Sunday, at the 2. 80 service.
The new Catholic church at Centle-
vile, Md, was dedicated on Wednes-
day. Bishop Curtis of Wilmington
officiated, assisted by number OF
priests. The music for the occasion,
which was very fine, was furnished
by the choir of st. Peters Church at
Wilmington. The edifice is of very
neat structure, with stained glass win
dows, ceiling and pews of Georgia pine
finished in oil, and has a seating ca
pacity of about 300.
Moody and Sankey, the great re-
vivalist are attracting the mnltitudes,
and they're thousands daily in attend
ance at their meetings at the Rink in
Wilmington. There are both after
noon and evening meetings, but the
crowds are often too great to find an
entrance, and overflow meetings are
held in neighboring churches. A
number of our people have availed
themselves of the oportunity of
hearing these great evangelists, and
many more will do so ere the meetings
close. They will remain in Whining
ton another week.
The revival meetings at the M. E.
Church are still in progress, and con-
tinue to grow in interest The at
tendance during the past week has
been larger than at any previous
time, and several nights the lecture
room was not sufficient to accommodate
all who came. Rev. Vim. Galloway,
who is still assisting the pastor, has
been able to reach many classes OF
people, and the church has been
ouickened, sinners converted, and a
genuine revival of religion is the re,
suit. But there are still many lives
untouched by religious inflences, and
there is yet much work to be done.
Presiding Elder Rev. Alfred Smith
preached on Wednesday night to a
large and interested audience, and his
many friends were glad to hear his
familiar voice in exhortation.

Chestertown has never known a sea-
son of more delightful social pleasures,

placed it in the vase arranged for the
dainty collection. Theirs was, posSi-
bly,, one of the most elaborate and most
charmingly arranged rogressiye euchre
party ever given in the town. Beau
tiful prizes rewarded not only the skill,
but lack of skill of the players. The
young ladies made charming hnstesses,
and the occasion was one well deserv-
ing the honor of being the winter queen
to be folio @ed by a retinue of not less
charming subjects.
Then came the orange tea of the
Misses Halle and Mary Beck, given to
Mrs. LaDuc and Miss Barrenger, of
Philadelphia, the friends and guests Of
Miss Rebecca Wickes. This was de-
lightful affair in its every appointment,
and its brightness and beauty was par.
ticipa'ed in. possibly, by a greater num-
Der of persons than had ever been
present on similar occasion in the

thronged with ladies and gentlemen
the whole evening.
Pretty little tables decorated with
handsome white cloths, and presided
over by pretty young ladies could not
fail to tempt even bachelors appe-
tite, and the chicken salad, oysters
and kisses" disappeared, while the
treasury of the band was correspond
ingly supplied with the silver pieces
given in exchange for the delicacies.
Everybody enjoyed the music also,
which was indeed grand, and lured
ones thoughts from the every day tur-
moil of life to a higher sphere. This
part of the entertainment was rendered
by Mr.. and Mrs, J. B. Maxwell, Miss
Helsn Naudain, Miss Lizzie Hall and
Mr.. George Price.
