bothered me, used to cry for my ma:

been feeling for the last two weeks; /

CRANITEvILIE.

BY authority of an act of the last
General Assembly. declaring express
companies or corporations common
carriers, and providing for their gov
eminent and control, and empowering
the Board of Railroad and Ware house
Commissioners to regulate and fix
charges made by said companies or
corporations, Chairman Hennessey, OF
the board, on the 10Th, sent out to the
six or seven companies doing business
in this State notice to file at once class
ification and rates tariffs. The law re-
quires that the schedules must be filed
between the 21st of June and the 21st
of August, but the board hopes the
companies will file as soon as possible
after receiving notice, so that the
schedules may have full and careful
consideration. A penalty of 5000 per
day is provided by law for each COM
pany that is delinquent after the 21st
of August. This is the law that met
with such bitter opposition from the
express companies last winter.
The St. Louis Chronicle says the fol-
lowing in reference to Mr.. Socrates
Newman He died at his country
residence near this city on July oath:
..When Socrates Newman dies and gets
a perfunctory obituary of twenty lines
or SO in the morning papers, it shows
the vanity of human ambition. Once
he was the greatest man in the city of
St. Louis. He was a good man too, as
every one said who knew him well,
but to the public at large, he was sim
ply great, and known only through his
greatness. When there was ques-
ton of who should be a member Of the
Municipal Assembly, or the Speaker of
either of it's branches, or Mayor OF the
town, Soc Newman did it. When a
st. Louis delegation was being chosen
to represent the city in the State Leg
islature, it could be made to represent
the gas company if Soc Newman so or
dered. And at the time, it was always
suspected that he did so order when
ever a delegation was to be chosen.
When gas was king in ST. Louis no one
else had the power that the President
of the St. Louis Gas Company had, and
Socrates Newman was the President of
the gas company. He had many
friends and some bitter enimies, but of
late years his enemies had forgotten
their enmity. and he died no greater
than an ordinary citizen. And, doubt
less, no one rejoiced more hartily than
he did himself that he had ceased to be
the greatest man in st. Louis. For he
had a touch of the philosopher in him,
and was not named Socrates for moth
ing. Could he have written his own
obituary it might have been even short
err than it is in the papers which once
gave him editorials by the yard. But
short as it was, it was long enough to
repoint the old moral that
Scepter and crown must tumble down
And in the dust be lowly laid,
With the poor, crooked scythe and
spade"

about months. The remains of the
little one were buried in the Middle
brook cemetery the Thursday follow
ing.
Also, on Saturday last, at ten min
utes past four o'clock P. NJ, after a
lingering illness, Mrs. Geo. Scroggie
died of consumption, aged thirty years.
Deceased had been a sufferer of the
dreadful disease for two years or more,
and for several days prior to her death
could not speak above a whisper nor
swallow food or stimulants of any kind
but with all the fortitude that is posi-
BILE for one of her sex to be possessed
of, she held out perhaps longer than
most people do who have thus been af-
fiicted. She made her peace with God
and was ready to answer the death
call. The trouble most with her, was
the leaving of four little children, two
boys and two girls aged from year and
8 months up to 9 years, but being as
sured by her companion who was call
ed to her bedside, that her dear little
children would be cared for, she closed
her eyes in death, and she's now gone,
gone to that silent land. The remains
were conveyed to the NJ. E. Church on
Sunday at p. NJ, where Rev. 0. W..
Rose preached an eloquent and touch
ing sermon, after which the remains
we're taken to Middlebrook cemetery,
followed by large funeral cortege, to
pay the last tribute to one who now
lies in peace and rest everlasting. MIR.
