OBITUARY.

Departed this life August Goth
at the family residence, Alexan.
dria, Is,., - MARY O'CoNNELL
MURPHY. beloved wife of Thos. S.
Murphy, 81 years, 6 mouths and
IA days of age.
Mrs. Murphy was born in Dub.
lin and came to A .nerica ut All early
age. In 1858, in the city of New
York, she was married to Thos. s.
Murphy, and removed to Aloxan-
dria, La, where she has since re.
sided. She leaves to mourn her
loss, a kind and loving husband, a
daughter and three sons.
The deceased had been sick for
some months and while her demise
was not altogether unexpected, yet
twas the prayer and hope of all
who knew bel, that she would be
spared to them. Gods will has
been done, and she rests from her
labors with her God whom she
loved and served. She was a de.
voted aud loving wife, a kind, at.
fecti0nate and SOLICITORS mother.
u neighbor in its full sense, a de.
voted christian woman. In the
death of Mrs. Murphy, the com.
munity has lost one of it's best and
purest of women, i noble, gener.
GUS and christian friend and neigh.
Dor, one whose hand was ever out
stretched iu love and charity; one
whose christian life should be EN-.
ulated and followed as one of Gods
Samaritans and true christian
women.
In her faith she was simple,
steadfast and pure, teaching by
her example the simplicity Of her
belief, the faith in her church and
the love of her Go'l; one who al.
ways spoke kindly of neighbor and
was ever ready to attend to and
minister to the sick and distressed
and whose presence by the bed Of
pain and suffering, gave solace
and relief, leaving behind her a
memory that should be cherished
and revered.
She has reached her reward in a
heavenly home and the blessed
eternity, which cannot be measur-
ed by the short space Of life on
earth, is hers forever.
Tie wife, the mother, the chris.
tian woman has ''crOssed over the
river" Peace, blessed peace to
her soul. She sleeps in God.
A FRIEND.

NEW COTTAGES.-MesSrs. HOff-
man & Wilson, successful and re-
liable architects of this city, have
commenced the erection of two
new cottages for Mr.. Joseph
Hirsch, in rear of his residence On
Second Street. The DEMOCRAT
has been informed that the houses
will front Oh Third Street and that
tenants are ready to occupy them
as soon as completed. While new
residences have been constantly
erected for the past four or FIVE
years, they are always in demand.
We believe that we hazard nothing
i'll the assertion, when we say that
there is not two vacant houses I'D
the entire town. This is enough
to prove that Alexandria is grad
ually increasing in population and
is ON an upward, but steady boom.

Money and Ring Stolen by Sneak
Thief.

Albert Prince, an employee of
the Alexandria Ice and Cold Stor.
age Company, of this city, was
robbed last Thursday night by a
sneak thief, of $3.50 in cash and IA
gold ring valued at SIS. 1t ap.
pears that Prince was renting a
room adjoining Mrs. Lamarqne's
grocery store, gu Fourth street,
and when he retired Wednesday
night he wrapped the ring up in
IA handkerchief, put it in his trons.
ers pocket and then put his trous-
ers under his pillow. When he
arose the next morning he found
his trousers lying in the middle of
the floor aud his money aud ring
gone. 1t is supposed that the
thief entered the room through a
window, committed the theft and
then made his exit in the same
manner, as the bed IN which Prince
slept was standing by the window,
aud when he awoke the next morn
ing the bed had been moved. The
ring stolen was a heavy plain gold
ring, inscribed "a. to s., 1887"
That night before retiring Mr..
Prince took Is from his roll OF
money with which to pay his room
rent the next morning, which the
thief failed to find. Prince ap.
peared before Justice of the Peace
Racial the next day and made af.
fidavits on suspicion against four
negroes, Dorsey Haynes, George
Griffin, Hayes Kies and Peter
Thompson, all of whom were ar.
rested by Constable Gilmore and
committed to Jail, where they will
be held to await preliminary ex.
aminations.
Since the above was put in type,
Constable Gilmore has return.
ed from Colfax, where he arrested
Harrison Vance, colored, agains,
