Death of Mrs. Isaac Gibson.

From the Norristown pa. Herald of last
Saturday we take the following notice of the
death of the wife of Rev. Isaac Gibson, for
years a resident of this town. Mrs. Gibson
was highly esteemed by our people, and the
bereaved husband has the sincere sympathy
of the community: "The community was
greatly surprised this morning on learning
of the death of Mrs. Isaac Gibson, wife OF
the Rector of ST. Johns Episcopal Church,
Norristown. Mr.. Gibson returned home
last night at about ten o'clock from a visit
to one of his parishioners to find Mrs. G. in
bed. About IL o'clock she complained of
oppression and difficulty in breathing. Her
son Muscoe, who had not yet retired, SUM-
moned Dr. Weber, the family physician
The latter Immediately applied restoratives,
but to no avail, Mrs. Gibson expiring few
minutes before u O'Clock in the presence of
her family and the doctor, the immediate
cause of death being heart failure. Mira.
Gibson had not shown marked premouitory
symptoms of the disease that terminated her
life. Latterly, however, she had complain
ed of shortness of breath whilst walking.
but being woman whose general health
was excellent the fact caused no alarm
The attack last night and the sudden fatal
termination was therefore the greater shock
to the family and the community. The de-
ceased was Miss Annie s. Wingerd, native
of Washington, d. @. As Mrs. Gibson she
lived a number of years in West Virginia,
coming to Norristown in 1872, when Mr.
Gibson entered, Nov. 1st, upon his duties as
rector of ST. Johns parish She leaves sur
viying besides her husband four children.
to-wit, Rev John 5. Gibson, of Huntington,
West Virginia, the Misses Ethel and Della,
and NJ. NJ. Gibson, Esq, all residing at the
rectory. During Mr.. Gibson's long and
useful career as pastor Mrs. Gibson has ia.
ken an active interest in church affairs
The improvements which have taken place
in the church building and the extension of
the work in the parish have all had her
Jealous attention. In this she was in reali
ty ne pmate to her husband She died in

Circuit Court.

The fall term of the circuit court for JET
ferson county began yesterday morning
Judge E. Boyd Faulkner on the bench, the
officials all in their places, aud the bar filled
with the usual complement of lawyers
The grand jury was charged and set to work
on a number of cases, and the business OF
the court moved along smoothly as If the
wheels had just been oiled.
The grand jury is as follows: E. Il. Nc
Donald, Samuel ]. Boyd, G. n. Moore, b.
F. Langdon, r. w. Morrow, Casper NJ.
Stump, J. W. Benner, Daniel Getzendanner,
Jacob Sites, Ell. S Ruse, G. ]. Cavalier, J.
Will Taylor, Jacob S. Osborn, H. B. Daven-
port, William Hayslett and Albert Diehl.
Joseph Smith and Daniel White, indicted
at former term for robbery at n. & w.
depot, Shenandoah Junction, pleaded guilty
and were sentenced to two years each, in the
penitentary Gardiner Piper, indicted for
stealing horse, pleaded not guilty, and trial
set for Friday. A large amount of chancery
and other business was transacted yesterday
as much accomplished as is usual in sew
eral days The fact is: the Judge urges
the Knights of the green bag to be ready,
and when they are ready the word "go" is
given and they all pass under the wire at
no mean gait. The converting of Judge
Faulkners court means business.
In the cases of Joseph Smith and Daniel
White, who pleaded guilty, Prosecuting At
torney Brown told the court he would be
satisfied with the shortest term allowed by
law. 1t was brought to the attention of the
Judge that the prisoners had been convert
ed to religion since confined in Jail and that
they belonged to respectable families, and
in consideration of these facts Judge Faux
ner sentenced them to two years in the pen
itentiary.
Twelve cases were presented to the grand
jury but only two indictments were made,
to wit: Charles Hicks, colored, for stabbing
with intent to kill, and Henry Johnson,
colored, for selling ardent spirits without
license. The Jury will be in session to-day

The Court of Appeals last week reversed
the opinion Of Judge Daley in the case Of
Smith and others against Daniel Cornelius
and others from Morgan county. The case
is one of considerable importance because
il involves the right Of the trustees Of the
Berkeley Springs to lease the springs for
private enterprise, the springs being the
property of the State and the control Of
them vested in a board of trustees by stat
ute. A majority of the members of the
board agreed to lease the springs to Corne-
Illus for a term of years, provided he would
erect a hotel aud put other Improvements
on the property involving a large expendi-
ture of money, but dissenting members OBJ
tanned an Injunction restraining Cornelius
from carrying out the contracts on the
ground that the board has no authority TO
make the lease. \ motion was made in the
circuit court to quash the injunction when
the case was heard on its merits before
Judge Daley. who decided to perpetuate
the injunction, whereupon the case was ap
pealed. The decision Of the supreme court
reversing Judge Dailey's opinion will be
received with delight by the people OF
Berkeley Springs, who are said to be almost
unanimous in favor of the lease.
