One of the saddest events that has come
TO our knowledge is the death, at her home
in Paris, Ky, last week, Of Miss Mamie
Woodford Clay, niece of Mrs. H. B. Day.
export and pupil last year at Stephenson
Seminary. Miss Clay was a rarely beauti-
ful girl and not less lovely in eharact-
er. "She was the sweetest girl / ever
knew" said friend. 1T was luxury to
have her in my home" Even those who
did not know her personally must feel the
deepest regret at the premature ending OF
a life so full Of brightness and Of blessing
to all within the range of its sweet inauence.
We take from the KsatuekiaR Citizen of
Paris a notice of the death Of Miss Clay
and her younger sister.
In this county, at the residence of their
parents. Mary and G. f. Clay, on Tuesday
and Wednesday, June 18th and 18th, Miss
Sadie s. Clay, aged 10 years, and Miss Nan
ME Woodford Clay, in her 10Th year.
A week ago we recorded the death OF
Miss Mary L. Mitchell, and referred to the
affective dispensation, which in the brief
period of less than six months, had borne
away three members from a stricken house
hold. Now. following in rapid succession,
two others closely related are called away
under circumstances Of peculiar sadness
One sister dying one day and the other on
the next. Tears for the dead and anxiety
for the dying mingled together. Such at
fictions are too crushing to be alleviated by
the feeble words Of human sympathy. The
deceased we're lOvable, the idols of their
family and a wide circle Of friends. Their
lives illustrated the graces of young Chris
tan womanhOod. And it should be joy
10 know that in the bloom of their youth
they dedicated themselves TO the service OF
the living and compassionate Saviour.
Il was very tender and thrilling and
solemn scene, when she who was last to go,
Just before she expired, pointed her finger
heavenward, aud said, Uncle Joe-Msry-
Sadie" Her mother asked if she did not
want her. Her only answer, "NO-I see
them 20 And so her gentle spirit passed
from earth to Heaven. How cOnsOling the
belief that in the last hour, the loved ones
gone before are waiting and watching for
the loved ones of earth" care they not
an ministering angels" aud does not the
precious promise come to us-that in the
valley of the shadow of death He will walk
beside his children and His staff and rod
shall comfort and support and strengthen
them.
And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is life-tbcre are no dead
How solemnly these prOyidences speak.
How they remind the living of the uncer-
tainty of all things earthly. We cannot
understand or interpret them.
God is His own Interpreter.
And He will make il plain.

best man, Mr.. Lester Beachley. Meeting
at the altar the contracting parties were

land pastor Of the brides family, with the
cer,mouy OF the German Baptist Church.
Il was one of the prettiest weddings that
ever took place in that church. The bride
looked beautiful in a handsome gown OF
cream henrietta cloth, trimmed with benga-
line silk, white kid gloves, aud carried an
exquisite bunch Of pearl roses. The maid
of honor was dressed in white and carried
pink roses and maiden hair fern. An ele-
CANT reception was given at the home of the
brides parents, after which Mr.. and Mrs.
Beachley left for Charles Town, where they
took the B. 4 D. train for bridal tour to
the eastern cities, amidst showers Of rice

sPRINGFlELD's BIG BLAZE.
Seven Fine Blocks Destroyed Causing a
Loss of Nearly Million.

Springfield, Mass, November 22.-At
I o'clock this morning the great fire
which broke out on Worthington street
was finally under control, after raging
over five hours. The final stand of the
fremen on the north, was in the Union
block, and the White block behind it.
From the top Of the Union block
streams were steadily played, and the
fire was kept out except from one room.
When the walls of the Glendowder fell.
if gave the firemen chance to get into
Worthingtou street from which they had
been driven and play upon the side Of
the Union block, as well as upon the
roof. The flames died hard, but when
the end came they seemed to expire sud-
denly and soon only clouds Of steam and
smoke poured out from the win
dows that had emitted threatening seas
of fire.
When the Worcester firemen reached
the city they found only the smoking ru-
ins of the seven fire blocks. They did
not have to unload the engine. In the
long ride from Worcester they had been
pretty thoroughly drenched and looked
as battered as their brethren who had
fought all night. Although the flames
lighted the city, and alarm after alarm
had sounded, probably half the popula-
ton of Springfield had no idea of the ex-
tent of the blaze. 1t seemed almost in
credible to the sound sleepers that be-
tween the close of the theatre and break
fast time such great blocks should have
melted down.
On the south the final stand was made
at Fuller's block. which was saved by a
sudden favorable change in the wind.
the same change that made it so difficult
to save the Union block. On the east the
fire stopped with Weber block and On
the west at Main street.
The fire is the most destructive that
has visited this city in many years. Sew
en- fine business blocks, including the
Glendower hotel, are in ruins. The
burned district extends nearly 300 feet.
on Worthington street, and is 100 feat
deep, while the frontage of the two Maj n
street blocks was about 200 feet. Every
thing in this district is mass of smoE
ing ruins, upon which the fire depart
ment is still pouring 20 streams of
water.
The total loss will amount to about
$3.50, 900. Insurance men admit TINT
they are stuck for about $3.50. 900.
