DEATH OF MRS. PAUL

Mrs Charles Paul, who was stricken with shock on Oct 30, died at her home in this village about 10 o'clock last Thursday evening. For three or four days previous to her death she seemed to be improving and had partly regained consciousness. at least she seemed to recognize the family yet could not speak except to say "yes" or mo" to questions asked her. She took but very little nourishment, and that in liquid form. -
 The funeral was largely attended at the Methodist church on Sunday at 3. 30 p. m. Rev B. Seeholzer conducted the services. The choir sang three hymns which Mrs Paul had selected during the past year. A sheaf of wheat and large pillow of beautiful flowers rested upon the casket, while large boquets of chryssnthemums and other flowers were placed in front of the desk. The pail bearers were Meesrs J. W. Peet, G. r Strong. H. B. Stevens, E. s. Root h. torment at lower cemetery.

Mrs Paul arrived in America in Sept. 1871 and came at once to Canaan where her husband had preceded her and had ob- tsined employment They built the house on Church street where they have since resided. Mrs Paul was es- teemed by all who knew her. She was industrious and frugal, genuine heip- meet to her husbands a devoted wife and mother She was 8 regular attendant at church and endeavored to train up her children in the nurture and admo- milton of the Lord.

BICYCLE ORDINANCE TALK.
Committee Falls 10 secure n Quo
rum, But Many Wheelmen Present.

Richmond League of Wheelmen was
well represented at the informal session
of the Council Committes on ordinances
held last night. The object OF the meet
ing was to consider the question OF a
bicycle ordinance for the city. The COM
mittee failed to secure a quorum, only
Messrs. Bloomberg and Mcdowell being
present. Wheelmen on hand were Messrs
Jackson Guy, James Lewis Anderson, DR..
e. Il. Baker. Thomas Christian, l.. T. ID.
Myers. Jr., Janney Peasants Il. W.
Cooper. w. c. Lefebvre, John ID. Murrell,
and Mr.. Sydnor.
The bicyclists had a copy OF an ordi-
nance which they were willing that the
city should adopt in the place Of the one
recently referred to the committee by the
Council. The measure presented by the
wheelmen fixed the maximum rate of
speed at ten miles an hour, or eight
miles an hour when turning corners. 1t
also contained a section providing for
the use of bells or whistles. to be rung
or blown when coming into contact with
persons. but has no lamp clause. as has
the referred ordinance.
The wheelmen contended that the con-
fusion the bell or whistle would create
would make the bicycle a more dangerous
vehicle TO public safety than II would
be without the use OF such means to
give the alarm of its approach. They,
however. would not object to the bell or
whistle section. since the city fathers
appeared to deem il necessary There
was a great deal Of informal talk about
the proper provisions of such measure,
