filled with mud, and he was mud all
over. he was conscious, but too weak
to help himself. He is bruised from head
to foot and one leg is cut at the knee
where the logs fastened him. He is
seriously, although not dangerously in
jured. The physician in attendance says
he is outof danger, and will be around
in few days. Mr.. White is at Mr..
Chandlers house, where kind friends
are constantly waiting on him. 1t was a
most miraculous escape from death for
him. Ofthe nineteen persons who were
caught ir the cloud burst, he is the only
one alive. All the bodies, except two,
had been recovered up to the time Mr.,
Chandler left Seneca at 5.25 Monday after
noon.
Mr.. White, besides losing his young
bride and dear companion, has lost
everything he had in the world, not even
having any clothes. His fine library,
and evershing are swept away, and he is
left without penny. But his friends out
there are caring for him. He regrets
very much that he was not able to come
on. but he could not.
The officials of the Frisco Railroad Co.,
rendered free transportation for the body
of Mrs. White, and also for Mr.. Chandler,
from Seneca to st. Louis.
Mr.. Chandler wishes to thank the peo-
pie of this city for the kind hospitality
shown him, and especially to Mr.. S. M.
Ogden, where he stopped while here.
Another pathetic chapter in the tragic
death of Mrs. White was that of letter
written by her on the evening of the
cloud-burst to lady friend in this city.
Among other things she said that there
was storm raging, and she hoped il
would not be like the one at st. Louis
She said, II feel afraid to go to bed, and
have just told Harry so, but he said we
had better go to bed and trust in the
Lord" She spoke in the letter of being
so happy with her husband in their far
off home.
Sad, indeed, is the tragic death of thu
young bride.

Rev. Harry White.

On down the current they went, until a
big log came dashing along and struck
between them, breaking the hold of Mr..
White on his wife, sweeping them apart.
This was the last he saw of her. She
never uttered shrek or made an outcry
of any kind. She was lost, and Mr..
White says he believes she was dead
soon after she spoke of the Lord calling
her, or she would have made an outcry
when they parted forever. The next
morning Mrs. Whites body was found
fastened in driftwood near where they
parted.
Mr.. White was carried down the seeth-
ing mass one hundred feet farther and
was carried on small island, where he
was found the next morning at O'Clock
by searching party. He was an awful
sight. His mouth, ears, and eyes were

WEST JERSEY ACADEMY.

The Annual Commencement Exercises
Held Tuesday Night.
Tuesday night, in West Presbyterian
Church, the annual commencement of the
West Jersey Academy took place. The
chancel was festooned with the colors of
the school, and decorated with palms and
flowers, presenting very handsome ap-
pearance.
On, the left of the platform were the
four graduates: Levi Lord Chandler,
w. r. Dunn, Frederick Warren and
Leonidas Coyle, dressed in their caps
and gowns. In the centre were the
trustees and the principal, Prof. Phebus
w. Lyon, while on the right was the
choir of the church, increased by the
addition of few others.
After an organ selection by Miss Ches-
shire, the devotional exercises were led
by Rev. A. J. Snyder, of this city. An
anthem, "Praise God," by the choir then
followed.
The essays were all interesting, and
showed research and thought. They
were: Nothing" w. P. Dunn; "Light
and Civilization" Leonidas Coyle; "Rep-
resentative Men," Frederick Warren;
'Suger and st. Bernard" with valedic-
tory, Levi Lord Chandler.
The valedictory was exceptionally
practical and much better than most
school-boy valedictories.
1t would be hard to make any distinc-
ton between the essays, but, perphaps,
hot Of olo,, - o1x fha
considering delivery and style.
At different points throughout the pro-
gram selections were sung by the choir,
they closing with Mozarts "Twelfth
Mass"
A trio, 20, Power Beneficent," by Mrs.
Kirk and Messrs. higgins and Woodruff,
was admirably rendered.
Mr.. HI. Shoemaker also gave selection
on the cello, which was well appreciated.
At the conclusion of the exercises, the
following prizes were awarded Victor
Yost, $500 for the most improvement in
Latin, offered only to beginners of that
year. James Hunt, best effort in English
prose composition throughout the year,
$500. Edward Chick, elecution, $500.
Charles Kingsley, best drilled at the an
nual exhibition last Friday, $500.
Then followed the address to the
graduates by Rev. Frederick briggs, D.
D., of Germanton. This was listened to
with interest by all present. The speaker
dwelt particularly upon the meaning of
"Commencement."
1t is but the beginning of our educa-
ton in another sphere of life.
Prof. phoebus w. Lyon then presented
the diplomas to the graduates, and Rev.
w. J. Bridges pronounced the benedic-
tion.

| All that was mortal of Mrs. Eta White,
the wife of Rev. Harry White, was con-
| signed 70 the tomb, and the last chapter
of the tragic scene enacted Thursday af.
ternoon.
Pierce & CARL, of this city, and B. B.
Weatherby, of Millville, who have had
charge of the body since it's arrival from
the West, strained every effort to make
the remains presentable, so that the many
| friends Of the deceased could look upon
her form for the last time.
The body was taken to the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Biggs, on South East Ave,
the home, where but month ago, Mrs.
White had left cheerful bride. Here it
was viewed by many friends, and a short
service held over the remains in the after
noon prior to the body being taken to the
Commerce st. M. E. Church, where the
services were held.
AS early as half-past twelve, people
went to the church, and by the time the
services were to be held, 2 o'clock, the
edifice was packed to the sidewalk with
friends of the deceased and curious per-
sons.
Shortly after 2 o'clock, the funeral cor
tege arrived at the church and passed up
the east aisle to the pulpit. The pail
bearers were: VIM. Evans, VIM. Silvers,
Edward Cummings, Milford Appelgate,
VIM. Firman, of this city, and Henry
Weatherby, of Millville.

with silver handles. On the lid was the
simple inscription, ''Sister."
There was profusion of flowers and
many beautiful floral emblems made by
Edwards. There were "Gates Ajar," all
white and cream, with dove resting on
top; harp of pretty flowers; large pill
low, with the word "Rest" on it. There
were Maltese crosses, cross and crown,
and many bouquets of white roses. At
either end of the casket stood two palms.

The services were conducted by Rev.
S. w. Lake, pastor of the church of which
Mrs. White was a member. He was
assisted by other M. E., ministers, Rev.
w. D. Stultz and G. E. Hancock.
Rev. J. o. r. Corliss, of Wesley
Memorial Church, read the 2Sd Psalm.
Rev. Mr.. Snyder, of Moorestown, the
minister who married Rev. and Mrs.
White, read the 18th chapter of I'd Cor
inthians, and also offered prayer.
Rev. S. w. Lake spoke of the pure and
good qualities of the deceased. He
touched feelingly on the sad disaster
of which she fell victim. In picturing
the tragic and untimely death of Mrs.
White, scarcely dry eye could be seen
in the church. He took his text from
Isaiah 4a, "A, "Fear not, 1 have Re-
deemed thee; have called thy name,
thou art mine when thou passest through
waters Pll be with thee, and through the
rivers, they shall not overflow thee, for
I am thy Lord, thy God, Holy one of
