this town we're skating down the river to
Northield. All went we'll until the rail
road bridge was reached, when Golden and
Parker suddenly skated into an air hole
and went under. The current was strong
and they would in all likelihood have been
carried under the ice but for the presence
OF mind of Day, who approached the hole
on his hands and knees and drew them,
one after the other, out of the water. AL

aged to skate home, where they arrived

Death of wallace noIton.

A long and useful life was suddenly
brought to close Monday afternoon by the
death of Wallace Holton at his residence on
Terrace Hill. Mr.. Hoton was born nearly
70 years ago and was the last survivor Of
SIX children. He was man who was uni
vN.ersally esteemed for his uprightness of
lie coupled with a modesty of manner.
de was an earnest member of the Univer-
salist church in this town and with him re-
hgion was not vague theory but practi-
cal reality. His death was sudden, although
singularly easy and happy transition
from this life to the life beyond He had
very shortly before signiged his readiness
to go any time. The funeral took place
yesterday in charge of Rev. D. l.. Fisher
and the burial was with Masonic honors,
he being one of the oldest members of the
local lodge of that fraternity.

Passing of the Volunteer Army.

Fifty thousand volunteer soldiers will be
mustered out of the service within a
month. This action will mark the final
passing of the volunteer army, as it will
terminate the existence of practically all
of those regiments furnished by the states
which are now distributed among the
southern camps, as we'll as those militia
organizations now in Manila, Cuba and
Porto Rico, which will soon be relieved by
regulars and returned to their homes. The
decision to dispense with all the remain
ing volunteers except about % 900, tempo
rarily required beyond the boundaries of
the United States, was definitely reached
at Wednesdays cabinet meeting, although
the project has been for some time under
consideration by the war department. The
orders have been FASTENED by reassuring
official reports regarding conditions in
Cuba, which make 1t clear that it will be
unnecessary TO maintain large reserve
force in the southern states as a precau
tionary measure against outbreaks in thai
island.

Death of John :. Rice

John Swift Rice died very suddenly at
his late home early Friday morning, Dec.
16. He had been in his usual health and
his death was caused by heart failure.
Mr.. Rice was born in this town Oct. 21,
1925, and his whole life has been spent in
Wilmington. He was born upon the farm
now owned by Albert L. Haynes. When
he was about 20 years of age he moved to
the farm where he died. He was practi-
cal farmer; he loved the occupation and
was very successful in the calling; for
many years his farm has been called one
of the best in town. Mr.. Rice was mar
ried three times. His third wife, Marietta
(Rappelye) Rice, survives him. He also
has half brother, Marshall n. Rice, liv-
ing at Mendoza, Ill. He has held various
town offices and discharged every duty to
the satisfaction of all.
Mr.. Rice was a man of strict integrity
and of upright conduct. His word was as
good as a bond and no one doubted his
honesty. He took time for deliberation,
but his conclusions were usually correct
His influence was ever exerted in favor of
temperance and public reform. He was a
great reader and was well informed upon
all matters of general interest. His sud
den death removes familiar figure and he
will be missed in the town. In religion
he was Baptist by profession, although
he has not attended church very regularly
for several years. The funeral services
were held at his late home on Sunday at
ternoon, Rev. Mr.. Farrow attending
The burial was in Intervale cemetery

VIII Probably Abandon the Case,

The Journal of Commerce of New York
in its issue of last Friday contained the
following in regard to the fraudulent in
surance case, details of which were pub
lshed in The Phoenix last week: THE
case against Frank w. Anthony came up
again in the Adams street court, BROOKLYN.
yesterday. 1t was once more adjourned,
this time to Dec. 20, at the request of
Assistant District Attorney Van Wyck,
who has had several days to prepare his
case, which was charge of selling fraudu-
lent policies to a citizen of Vermont
The complainant, j. w. Shelley of Put
ney, VT, left for home last night and will
probably abandon his case against An
thony, carrying away with him not very
fattering opinion of the energy displayed
by the district attorneys office of Brook
Ign in prosecuting Anthony. 1t is likely
that the evidence will be turned over to
the post-office authorities, who have an
other case against Anthony pending in the
federal court" 1t is said that Anthony is
under bonds in different states in the sum
of S27, 900. Mr.. Shelley did not go to
Brooklyn Dec. 20, the date set for the
hearing, as he was of the opinion that for
him to continue the fight, combating at
the same time the official "pull'' which
has manifested itself in the case, would be
to spend more money than he feels he can
afford to lose. The journal of Commerce
was right in saying he would probably
abandon the case.
