vanced until he became an associate mem
Der of the firm, in which relation he had
since continued.
His fond and affectionate wife, who has
been the Inspiration of his homes, both here
and in New York, survives him. His
married life was one of singular happi-
ness, and was blessed with family of / l
children seven Of whom are now living,
as follows: Merritt Wclch, a dry goods
merchant at Norway, Me Thaddcus S, q
mechanical engineer in the Crescent Iron
Works of Elizabeth, n. J. Ada c., recently
married to Mr. Nathaniel s. Shattuck of
Peppcrell Mass Julia A., married, last
year, to Mr.. Chas. Perry Of this city; Hat
tie E., the wife of Rev. Albert c. White,
a Unitarian clergyman in Massachusetts !;
Miss Lizzie P. and Alice G., who reside at
the home in Augusta.
This announcement Of the sudden death
of II fellow citizen, comes to the com
munity with great shock. Not only is
the immediate family stricken with this
overpon ering sorrow, but their grief is
shared by sympathetic people who knew
and loved him. A good man, a true and
faithful husband and father, loyal and
brave soldier, who responded promptly to
his country's call, citizen full Of in
terest in public affairs, has gone to his
rest.
He was man Of retiring disposition,
scholarly and artistic in his tastes, as the
walls and library Of his elegant home on
State street will fully attest. Unostenta-
tious in his manner, he stood high among
his associates, neighbnrs and follow citi-
zsns. The dream of his life was to spend
his last ard declining days in this the
city of his love, and in the charming home,
sanotlfed by flial affection and
beautiicd by the work Of his hand and
brain. But Providence designed it other
wise, and amid our tears and disappointed
hopes, we bend In sweet resignation.

CHARGED WITH INsoLENcE.-Ccm-
plant has again been made to the
authorities of the indiscreet language
used by Free Methodists in their street
corner preaching. a Sunday or two
ago while band of them were holding
forth on the corner of King and Royal
streets one of the party, it is alleged,
made an unwarrantable and cruel
attack upon once prominent
citizen lately deceased. The Ian
guage used was of nature to have
justly incensed any relative of the
dead man who might have been pre-
sent and was calculated to have caused
a breach of the peace. The insult to
the gentleman's memory was prompted
by the fact that in life he was promi
nent member of the Masonic fraternity,
which seems to be regarded as sin
unto death by the people of the Free
Methodist persuasion. These people
have so far defied the authorities by re-
fusing to pay fines when arrested for
disorderly conduct, preferring to make
martyrs Of themselves, and what to do
with them is question not easily an
swered.

BURNED TO DEATH.-Hattie Davis, a

shortly after 8 o'clock last night in a
shanty in Prices alley, small court
between Prince and King streets and
Union and Lee. Mr.. George Petty, re-
siding in the neighborhood, was passing
down the street when he heard the
woman's screams. He fastened to the
shanty occupied by Hattie. The door
was fastened, but he burst it open and
discovered the woman sitting in chair,
enveloped in flames. He dragged her
to the outer air and extinguisned the
fire, but not before she had been fatally
burned. She died within fifteen minute S
af.er the time assistance reached her,
death probably resulting from inhaling
the flames 1t is supposed lamp had
overturned in her lap, and she had
slowly burned to death while sitting in
a rocking chair. The deceased was

was about fifty years of age. An in-

died at her residence, on Queen street,
between Fairfax and Royal, last night,
after an illness OF about month. The
deceased was attacked by pneumonia.
and though her condition was regarded
as critical from the first the fiuctua-
lions led her family and friends to hope
that her illness would not terminate
fatally. Yesterday, however, her con-
Glition became grave and hopes of her
recovery grew slime. Shelingered un-
til five minutes psst three o'clock this
morning when death ensued. Mrs.
Klaus came TO this city with her hns-
band and children from Philadelphia
about sixteen years ago. and during her
residence in Alexandria she had made
many friends. She leaves eleven child

many acquaintance goes out toward

To HAVE a New TR1AL.-Judge
Nicol, of the Circuit Court of the
county, to-day granted new trial to
the colored boy, Albert Hawkins, con-
victed at the last term of the Comfy
Court of attempting TO assault Sadie
Sherier and sentenced to be hanged on
the 9Th proximo. The new trial was
granted on the grouod that the minute
book of the County Court showed no
entry that any Indictment had been
found against the prisoner. w. Fl. Sad
Ter, colored, appeared for Hawkins and
moved that writ of error and super
sedas be awarded to the judgment { t
the County Court and that new trial
be allowed by reason of diminution OF
the record in the case, as set forth
above. The motion was sustained. 1t
will be remembered that Hawkins was
arrested the evening after the attempt
ed rape and was indicted, tried and
convicted the next day. In the hurry
attending the trial the mention of the
fact that an Indictment had been found
against Hawkins was Inadvertently
omitted from the record. The case is
set for the next term of the County
Court.
