but steadily, till death put an end
to the lingering disease.

the residence of deceased on Cherry
street at IL m. ON Tuesday. Rev.
Elm Kirk delivered the funeral
sermon after the singing of hymn
and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Greenfield,
pastor of Mt. Pleasant NJ. f..
Church.
The subject for the discourse was
"tears," which was well considered
and unique but appropriate as a
funeral sermon and an improve
ment on the ordinary funeral dis
course.
Rev. j. E. Bryan, pastor of the
church of which the deceased was
a member, closed the services at
the house with some fitting remarks
ON the life and character of the de-
ceased in its closing hours. He

filled with the milk of human kind
ness, which far over Swallowed and
redeemed any fOibles and weak
nesses incident to human nature.

of the G. A. r.; Excelsior Lodge, l..
o. o. F. and Harmony Castle,

and Greenfield.
The deceased leaves a widow but
no children. He was married to
Miss Jennie Mace, November 3Oth,
1869 whose almost sleepless vigils
through the long, distressing sick
ness of her husband drew express
sions of sympathy and admiration
from friends and neighbors who
witnessed her untiring devotion.
He was a son of the late Jethro
j. Mccullough, founder of the Nc
Cullough Iron Company. AT the
outbreak of the civil war he enlisted
in Company G. Second Delaware
Volunteer Infantry, and took part
in several engagements.

There Is no apparent issue affect

ought to know their neighbors bet

GEORGETOWN, Texas, July d.
(SpeciaD-In the district court yes
terday Charles Hague, of Taylor, VS..
Phoenix Insurance company, of
Hartford, for $4,000 was disposed
of. From the evidence it seems
that Mr.. Hague's house was burned
one night last January. He had a
policy in the Phoenix for $4,000,
covering his dwelling, contents and
barn, and sued to recover 1000 for
loss of dwelling and contents.
He had previously given Dan
Moody an order to write up $4,000
on his house, but that order was
for one year, which had expired be-
fore the fire. So after the fire, on
learning that this $4,000 was for 8
years instead of one year, the poll

Moody, Mr.. Hague signed a state.

Telltale Rope Found.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Search for
the bodies of the missing Williams
girls was resumed at the Castle
OF H. H. Holmes, the suspected
murderer, today, and in a noosed
rope, stained dark about the knot,
the police think they have made an
important discovery. The rope,
which was found hidden beneath a
quantity OF rubbish, is of consider
able length and strong. At one
end is plated loop and at the
other a running moose. About the
knot and on the rope near the
moose was found several dark spots
which the police think are blood
stains. The length Of the rope Is
such that the plated loop attached
to wall up stairs and through
Holmes secret dumb waiter,a body
hanging from the moose would just
clear the floor at the bottom Of the
shaft. That circumstance con-
WINGED the detectives that Holmes
alleged victims had been pushed
through the up stairs door to the
dumb waiter and strangled to
death in the shaft below.
Others OF the officers, however,
refused to accept this theory and
the rope was submitted to an an
nalyst to determine the nature of
the stains.

from Tacoma, Wash, says: "Henry
Veazie, aged %, has married his
stepmother, aged 46, and his father,
William HI. Veazie, a prominent
and wealthy mill man and logger,
has disinherited him. For twelve
years the elder Veazie has lived
here with Mrs. Veazie. Two years
ago he informed her she was not
married to him, because the man
who performed the ceremony was
not legally authorized to marry
them. However, a few months
ago William Veazie signed of all
his property to his son, Henry.
This was done, it is said, because
his creditors in Minnesota and
Wisconsin having learned he had
made a fortune in the west, were
preparing to collect large sums
due them. Henry found that his
sympathy for his alleged step
mother had developed into love.
She was born and reared in st. Paul

KlIngsmith. The elder Veazie was
first married forty years ago to a
Wisconsin woman, now reported to
be an inmate of an insane asylum.
A couple Of days ago, when Veazie
