James Richard Greene Hall

We are called upon to announce the
death of James Il. Hall, which oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon, the 22d, at
his home on Front street.
Mr.. Hall had been in delicate health
for several months, and his trouble de-
velopei into II we'll defined case of
heart disease in January last, when he
had severe attack which came on
him with rapidity. From this attack
Mr.. Hall rallied, but it was not for
long, and the course of his disease re-
duced his powers so that he was una BILE
to withstand subsequent shock.
Since Thursday last there had been no
hope, and his decline was marked till
dissolution ensued.
Mr.. Hall was as we'll known as any
young man in Marietta. and he was
possessed of many virtues which won
him large circle of friends. He had
kindly nature, was very generous,
and was companionable man.
He was born in Marietta May 10th,
1858, the only son of the late Chas. Is.
Hall. He was married in Septem Der,
1881, to Estelle de la Vergue. His
mother, his wife, two daughters and
a son survive him; and they have the
tenderest sympathy of many friends.
e Mr.. Hall was member of St Luke's
E Episcopal Church, and was Secretary
of the Royal Arcanum at the time of
his death.
The funeral will occur Thursday
afternoon at o'clock, at St Lukes
church.

Number of Shots Exchanged

Attempted Hold.Up at beverly and a
Number of Shots Exchanged
The citizens OF Beverly are just now
trying to unravel a mysterious shooting
affray which occurred few nights ago
at o. J. Stoves Touring mill. In the
early hours of the morning the watch
man at the mill was aroused by hear
ing persons on the outside and suppos-
ing it to be another. emploYe he arose
to open the rear door. Two unknown
men confronted, him and commanded
that he hold up his hands. When he
refuseI tney fred two shots at him and
ran around to the front door. The
watchman went to that door with his
revolver and was again 6red. upon, the
bullet crashing through the. glass. He
sent several shots after his assailants
but failed to touch either of them.
Their motive was apparently robbery.

DEEP SEA LIFE.
Parity of the Water is a Necessary
Condition for Fishes at
Any Depth.

Results of deep sea dredging are diff
ferent in different oceans. A series Of
experiments made in the Aegean sea.
which is part of the Mediterranean
seems TO establish the fact that there
was an abundance of life in the shallow
water, which diminished till IT found a
limit at 300 fathons, below which no
life seemed to exist. 1t was after
ward shown, when repairing cable on
the coast of Africa. that animals we-
attached to the cable that had been W.
ing at depth of 1900 fathoms. This.
however, was exceptional for the Med
iterranean- Both the English and
American governments have nlade ex-
tensiye research in the bottoms of DIFF
ferent oceans, with very interesting re-
suits to science. 1t is proved by
these dredgings that there is abunI-
ant life in the Atlantic ocean as
deep down as $500 fathoms. or
nearly thFee miles. One result of
these soundings was TO establish the
fact that there were currents reaching
to great depths moving in opposite di-
reetions, with Is degrees difference of
temperature within 4 short distance.
The Mediterranean seems to be an ex-
ception to the general rule in the mat
ter of deep-sea life. The reason is
found in the fact that there is a slimy
sediment in the deeper portion of this
sea that interferes with animal respira-
ton, the same as an extremely thick
dust would in the air. Life is supported
in the water the same as on Landry
breathing oxygen. In the one case ii is.
absorbed from the air and in the othe-
case from the water. Pure water is to
the Sc animal what pure air is to the
land animal. The sea animal could not
live IN muddy water continuously any
more than we could exist continuously
IN an atmosphere filed with dust. 1t
IS thus seen that depth is not the only
condition that affects animal life on the
led of the sea. The nature of the soil
and deposits are factors. as well as the
temperature of the water. However.
there are certain forms of life to be
found in the lowest Temperatures. But.
as is the case on land. we do not find the.
same kind Of life in the colder and
deeper zoDcs of the ocean as in the
warmer ard more shallow parts.
In the cold waters the animals are
dwarfsd in size. somewhat as we fra
