Death of Matthew Metten, a Well-knowi
Farmer. Aged IS Years.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
MILFORD, Jan. 13--After shon illness
of pneumonia, Matthew Metten of near
here, one of the best known and most
respected farmers of this neighborhood,
died Thursday. He was in the SD year of
his age. The deceased had spent his entire
lifetime, with the exception Of few years.
in this neighborhood, and there was prob
ably no man in Kent county who was held
in higher esteem by his friends and neigh
bors than he. He was an ardent Democrat
but was never prominent in political
affairs, preferring the quietude and enjoy
ment of home life.
Mr.. Metten's death was particularly sad
from the fact that his wife was buried
only last Tuesday. She was lying down
in apparent slumber, and was stricken
with apoplexy. A physician was sum
moned, but she was dead before he
arrived. Her last act was to repeat the
Lords prayer and with the amen the
end came as peacefully and quietly as the
closing Of summers day. The body OF
the wife was taken to the room where her
husband lay ill, and looking upon her
face for the last time, he remarked that he
would soon be with her. He will be placed
by her side in the family burying ground
az Barrett's Chapel. They had been mar.
ried about "a years

FEE COAL WILL HELP.
A West Virginia Mine-owner Disposes OF
High Tariff BugnbOo.

~ hiSh taiii Dushbuus
WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. 14.-The
ground has been cut from under those
West Virginia coal operators who have
been demanding retention of the tariff
duty on coal by an interview published
last night with General II. d. Spilman.
General Spilman is president of tue
Monongah Coal Company, employing
over 1900 men in the Monongahela
valley, and operating in Congressman
Wilson's district.
He declares that free coal will not
injure West Virginia coal operators, but
will eventually open up an enormous
trade for them with Canada. Special
significance is given to General Spill
mans views because of his being SON
in-law of United States Senator Camden,
who is himself largely interested in coal
production.
