Friday evening al her residence, 5O4 S.
New Jersey-st., Mrs. Sarah t. Bolton
died in the eiEhty-second year of her
age. She had been confined to her bed
for several weeks from trouble originat-
ing in a severe cold and naturally aggra-
waited by the infirmities Of old age.
For nearly three score years this gifted
lady has watched the growth of this
city from it's earliest settlement to its
present magnificent prominence among
the cities of the country.
Mrs. Bolton, although possessed of a.
strong, healthful mind, remarkable
disposition of firmness, was character
lied through all her life by traits of char
acter which endeared her to all those
who enjoyed the privilege OF an assoc
citation with her and made them better
for having enjoyed her kindly friend
ship.
IN the realm of poesy and song there
have lived those who were perhaps
more largely known to fame, but among
all the sweet singers of the American
republic not one has ever given to the
world verse purer in sentiment, loftier
in the lessons conveyed or one from
whom true nobility of thought and in
spiration will more surely flow down
through the avenues Of the future to
generations yet unborn. Her poems have
long since been collected and published
in an elegant illustrated volume. She
was for years known as the"poetess of
Indiana" and among her most beautiful
productions the one written in honor of
this state was a noble tribute to a noble
commonwealth.
Mrs. Bolton was the author of pad
die Your own Canoe" a lesson in nerve
which has been sung for years through
out the land and been made household
text at countless fresides.
This fine old song had its origin in
circumstance which touched the keynote
Of Mrs. Bottoms character. II was near
ly a half century ago that the. state
capitol was being made ready for a gov
ernor's reception. 1t was deemed neces-
sary to lay carpet on the floor of the
governors room. No carpet suitable
could be procured here and after taking
the matter in hand and soliciting as
sistance without avail, Mrs Bolton of
her own volition travelled overland to
Cincinnati, purchased a carpet, brought
IL back, sewed it with her own hands
and unassisted, put it down. 1t was
shortly after this that Paddle Your
Own Canoe" was written.
Mrs. Bolton was born in Kentucky in
1874 but came to this state when a
young girl, and has since made Indiana
her home. At the age of twenty-one
years she married Nathaniel Bolton,
founder of The Sentinel, and during his
term of Office as u. S. consul to Geneva,
extending from the administration OF
President Pierce to that of President
Buchanan, Mrs. Bolton remained abroad
with her husband. She left no children,
a daughter, Mrs. Frank Smith, having
died number of years ago. Two sisters
and a brother survive her.

Indiana" will face south. This was
the unanimous decision of the board of
soldiers and sailors monument COM
missiOners at it's session Wednesday. AS
at the previous meeting, when the board
ordered that the figure should face
west, there was little discussion on the
question. Mr. English presented his
resolution with a few remarks and the
other members of the board voted for
its adoption. Mr. English said in pre-
senting the resolution resembling the or
der that the figure should face west
and ordering that it face south: ut
was the intention that the figure should
face either to the east or west in or
der that it night harmonic with the
Peace and War groups, which will
be placed on those sides of the shaft. L
am still of the opinion that the figure
should face to the west for this reason
and for the further reason that it should
face the state house, the seat of the
state government and the representative
of the state which furnished the means
to erect the monument When the groups
and fountains are in position, believe

NEWARK, n. J., Aug. 3.-Thomas

Col. William Murrell, editor Of the New
Jersey Trumpet, may fight a duel be-
cause of the boardwalk war at Asbury
Park. The colonel came to this city
Tuesday from Asbury Park to publish
his paper. and he had a great deal to
say about Editor Fortune. The latter
had commented rather severely in the
last edition of the Age on the fact that
Murrell supported Sounder Bradle I'm his
attitude toward the colored people. Col.
Murrell told friend that he had written
singing reply to Mr. Fortunes re-
marks and then read the article to him.
Mr.. Fortune heard Of this and the col
onePs verbal comment on his editorial
was quickly replied to.
He sent word said Col. Murrell,
that II / published the editorial he
would challenge me TO a duel. Well, I'll
give him the chance. 1 fought a duel in
New Orleans while / was a member of
the Louisiana legislature from 1870 TO
1880. and fight in the good old southern
style-shot gun and plenty OF buckshot.
/ want to choose the weapons, and we'll
hire fiatboat and go out into the river
and fight"
The colonel says that he will await
in his Office the visit of Editor Fortunes
second.

SENT INTO ETERNITY.
Murderer Van Loon Hanged in the
Ohio Penitentiary.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 3.-With the hymn
Nearer My God, to Thee" passing from
his lips Van Loon was launched into eter-
nifty at 1217 tonight. The scaffold scene
was a touching one. The condemned pris-
oner was dressed neatly in a suit of black
and his pompadour hair, high collar and
pure white necktie gave him dressy ap-
pearance. Warden James had read the
death warrant at II o'clock.
When Van Loon took his place on the
trap he held a bible in his hand and an
nounced that he desired to read the eiev-
enth verse Of the seventy-ninth Psalm.
He read 1t in clear voice and then took
and sang the first verse Of the above
hymn. He said: TN the straps of death
am innocent of the crime, and hope God
away" He was dead in thirteen and a half
minutes after he shot through the trap.
