The Hunt and Connsll Company.

Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In reference TO the newspaper
publicity which has been Siven TO the
business affairs of the Hunt ~ COnnell
company / wish to say that there is no
basis for the assertion that there has
been undue secrecy IN the management
OF that concern. The decision to retire
from business was reached by major
ity of the stockholders for reasons OF no
interest to the public. During the seven
teen years of my connection with the
Hunt & Connell company its business
has been fairly profitable and my decision
to retire is for reasons entirely personal
TO myself. II is hardly necessary TO add
that when the final settlements have been
completed no just claim will suffer a
penny's worth. William Connell

ert Hullah, NJ. j. Healey, Hugh John

The Memorial sermon preached
by Rev I. J. Brown in the Methodist
church last Sunday morning is de-
serving of more than passing notice.
For the wise selection and logical de-
velopment of its theme, for lucid yet
profound reasoning, for lofty and sin
cere patriotic expression, for keen
analysis cf present conditions and
forceful statement of present duties,
for perfection in the graces of oratory
the sermon was masterpiece.
Every person in the large audience
was held in rapt attention by the
speakers magnetic presence, the Wig.

livery from the opening sentence tc

more imprisoned moods affected the
audience profoundly. 1t was a SER
mon worthy a Hills or Gunsaulus

Lancaster and people should not hes
titate to express their appreciation o
SO brilliant a discourse.

This little city Of Philipsburg is the
county seat Of Granite county and
near here is one Of the largest mines
and one OF the largest stamp mills in
the United States went through
the big stamp mill to-day. The ore
is carried one and one-half miles from
the great Granite mine which last
week alone turned out $50, 900 worth
of ore. That one mine alone has paid
its owners twenty million dollars; 50
you can see why this state is for silver.
No wonder everyone here is for w j.

John PIatt Dead.

Our city was shocked last Tuesday
evening on hearing of the sudden de-
mise OF law abiding citizen and sue
cessful farmer living some four miles
from the city. Many OF his friends
had eonversed with him in the after
noon and not one observed ANYTHING
unusual in his condition of health
After transacting business OF import
ance and passing a few hours pleas
antly among his many friends in the
city returned To his home Shortly
after seven O'Clock the sad intelligence
was communicated 10 the city that at
6 80 he had passed away. Mr.. Platt
was born in Wolf KIube. Hesse Darn
stadt, Germany, June p, 1882; came
to New York in June 1885, then set
tied in Grant county, Wis, where he
has since resided. On Sept. /, 1853,
he was married to Miss Mary Grebe,
and eight children were born to them,
viz; Katie Breithaupt, Lancaster;
Louisa Bennett, Hayes City, Neb.
Emelia Rekruf. Ellenboro; Mrs. Me
Kee, Fennimore; John, Hewey, Mary
and Lydia Platt. Mr.. Platt has been
an ihuustTIVuS idfuleI anu desplle an
uphill struggle made splendid sue
cess.
The burial services were conducted
by the Rev L. j. Brown and the
mem bers OF Tom Cox Post on Sunday
last at Liberty church. A vast con-
course Of friends gathered at the Gem
etery to pay their last tribute of re
spect to an honored neighbor. About
thirty members of the Post attended
the funeral and by their presence test
flied to the profound regard they had
for their dead comrade.
Mr.. Platt was enrolled on the 10Th
of Nov. 1864, and discharged from
the service of the L. 5. on the 14th Of
July 1865. at Louisville, Kentucky.
