Conc TO Heaven.

Died yesterday afternoon after a
short, but painful illness, Lille
May, the beloved daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. r. d. Nichols, IN the
l4th year OF her age. Thus. in the
bright spring time OF life did the
relentless soythe of death out down
this lovely flower ere its delicate
petals had fairly unfolded in a more
beautiful bloom. Death ut any
time, and under all conditions is an
unwelcome visitor, but when he
takes in his cold embrace the
idol of the household, it is doubly
so. and loving hearts are filed with
pain.
The circumstances attending the
death OF this young miss were of
the most distressing and painful
character, and it is for this reason
that the blow falls all the heavier.
She had been sick but two days
when the messenger came. and she
stepped from earth to heaven.
Her funeral will take place from
the parents residence, No. 134
windsor avenue, to morrow (Thurs-
day. afternoon at 3 O'Clock. Friends
of the family are requested to at
tend.

Judge HanckeI Decides Against the
Police Board.
Judge Eanckel decided the Atlau-
tic City police maRdamus case yes
terday. in which one Of the present
police forco of that ward applied for
mandamus to compel the Local
Board to pay him salary due slnce
he was appointed by the Police
Board OF Norfolk.
The decision was to the effect That
the Board of Police Commissioners
had no authority to appoint police
men in that ward at that time, Sep.
temper II. 1894, for the reason that
they had before that time exhausted
their power of appointment, by APP
pointing for the old section of the
city fifty seven men, the full compile
ment of policemen authorized by the
ordinances under which they acted
in making the appointment of pc.
licemen for the city.
The decision dismisses the peti-
ton for IA mandamus, and leaves the
