A DUAL AFFLICTroN.-On Saturday
night Mas. Emily Arnsll, wife of Mr..
Z l.. Arnell, died at her home, corner
OF Alfred and Pendleton streets. and
her !aueral had been arranged to take
plaza this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Her
husband hal heen 10 poor health fer
some time, and the death of his wife
and the natural depression it produced
aus mented his physical ailments, which
caused him to weaken rapidly until 4:3O
o'clock this morning, when his death
followed. The funeral of his wife has
been postponed until 4 o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon, at which time the sepul-
ture OF both husband and wife will te Ike
place. Mr.. Arnell was 20 years old
and he had resided in this city the
greater part of his lte He was shoe
maker ny trade, an occupation
ne followed for many years.
The decreased was for q long time
magistrate for the Second ward, and
he Was also warden at The city Jail.
The sad picture of a mothers coffin in
the house is one never-to.b forgotten
not only by those bereaved but by
many who behold it. When, however,
the sable messenger, almost at one FIJI
swocp, places the lifeless forms of both
father and mother beside each other in
the death chamber and produces
donhle funeral, human commiseration
goes forth much stronger to the be-
reaved ones, and those now mourning
beside the dull, cold ear of death, de.
prived of both father and mother in the
short space Of forty-eigbt hours, have
the earnest sympathy of their many
friends.
