DUNN.


Robert Dunn, son of Lew and Sallie
Dunn, was born March 8, 1891, and de-
parted this life, April 2, 1854, aged 3
years and 80 days. Though his dear
little life was brief, his earthly minis
try was well done. His life was like a
beautiful rose which bloomed in the
morning, and in the evening withered
away. tits gone from this troublesome
sphere ere the winds chilled or the rain
stained it, leaving the skies through
which it passed more sweet with it's
lingering fragrance and today Robe
is an ever unfolding flower in the bless
ed garden of God. know there is sad
ness in the hearts of the parents when
they think of the death of the little
one who gladdened their home for a
brief while. While you will not hear
the patter of his tiny feet around your
hearth again, or his gentle voice which
filled your hearts with music, remem-
Der that he is dwelling in a home in
the land of the deathless and fadeless.
While ! a never measure the fatherly
and motherly love you have for your
child, yet | am persuaded that under
the gracious and softening touch of
years, the burrows of sorrow now on
your hearts will give place to sweet
memory, and the little life SO soon end
ed will remain as a sweet memory,
which time can neverefface. You will
think OF him as secure from the chill
blasts of life long winter. May Jesus
tenderly touch your aching hearts us
only Jesus can. He has planted flow
crs by every grave, and sent the angel
of hope to watch by every tomb.
Weep not for him, he could not stay,
And the angels came and bore his spirit away
To a city where none but the gloriied beings
have trod,
To a home just over the river in the City OF
God, SUNBEAM.

MORRELL.

The angel of death visited the home
of Samuel and Virginia Morrell on
March 81, 1894, and took from their
embrace a loving son, Nathan Edward.
He was born February 10, 1879. His
life was short-15 years, / month and
l6 days; principally spent in the army
of his Master. During the earlier part
Of his short life he gave satisfactory
evidence that he would ever stand for
the right. He was always kind and al
f~ectionate, and possessed u smile for
every one. He was the joy of the
home, the comfort of the fiTeside and
the object Of love for every one who
knew him. At the age of II years he
made a profession of faith in Christ,
and united with the Brethren Church,
From hal time he lived a devoted
Christian life, ever looking unto Christ
the Savior who died for him. Eddie
was blessed with the best Of health
during his entire life until the brief but
painful illness that ended his career.
On the Goth day of March, 1894, he met
with a very painful accident, while on
his return froh mill; his horse became
frightened and threw him, which re
suited in breaking his arm. His suf-
serings were intense, but were borne
with the best of Christian fortitude.
The writer stood by his bed at different
periods during his illness. He bore his
sutferings without u murmur, constant
ly trusting and praying the Lord TO as
sist him. When it became evident
that recovery was impossible his uncle
questioned him in regard to his future
hopes His reply was: Il desire to
recover, but if | do not | am not afraid
to die | feel that all is well with me-.
These few dying words were worth
more than gold to his friends and rela-
tives. His sufferings here were great,
but he died in triumph, and went home
triumphautly singing praises to his

Charged with Crime of Intercepting
Letters.
Librarian Eames Of Brooklyn and
Other Witnesses Summoned-A War
rant for Embezzlement.

The trial OF Burnett Rider for intercept
tions of the mail of Harry Gregory by
whom he was employed as clerk and sales
nan was begun in the United
ates District Court before Judge
Carpenter. Rider was a. rested Dec. 20, on
the charge above stated, and an indict-
ment was later brought against him by
the grand jury.
Previous TO his engagement by Gregory
Rider was engaged in the business of
book selling and in this
calling acquired an intimate
knowledge of the location of many inn
portant historical volumes. After enter
ing the service of Gregory he sug-
gested TO his employer that
to purchase the library OF Judge Sphinx.
This library contained a compendium OF
old Rhode Island laws, and
Riders desire to purchase them
was based on his knowledge of
where he could dispose of them at profit
notably in New York, Brooklyn and Phil
adelphia. Gregory assented to the pur-
chase and the contract was completed.
Rider was then commissioned TO visit
various cities where he thought he could
dispose of the Sphinx library. A contract
was made with the Lenox library of
New York for 800 worth of the books,
by and with the consent Of Gregory.
fective and the price OF the consignment
was reduced to 500. When asked to
explain how two schedules worth S6 or S7
could reduce the bill by $50, Rider said
that 500 did not cover the whole consign-
ment. He promised to send the remainder
of the books later.
Wilberforce Eames, Librarian of the
Lenox Library testified to considerable
length as to the correspondence between
himself and Rider concerning
the purchase OF the books. he
stated that Rider offered TO make the
shipment S2s5, IL he would remit the en-
tire amount at once. Eames agreed to
this and sent the check 10 Rider.
Eames further testified that he recog-
nizcd Rider as Gregory's agent through
out the entire transaction, and that so far
as he knew there was no reason why Rider
should anticipate any correspondence be-
tween Eames and Gregory.
Gregory was placed on the stand later
and admitted most of the facts in regard
TO the purchase of the Sphinx Library and
the sale OF portion of II TO the Lenox
Library.
The object OF the plaintiffs argument is,
OF course, TO prove that Rider had a
motive that would impel him
to intercept, or at least to wish
TO intercept any correspondence
that might pass between the Lenox library
authorities and his employer The charge
OF direct interceptiJn Is made, and the
plaintiff hoped by proving the motive to
prove the actual commission of the crime.
