Death Of a Former Resident.

UC0tn OF rOrmer NeslVoHIs
I'VE are indebted for the following, TO Mr..
H, X. Stokes of Chicago. The deceased may
be remembered by some Of our older readers.
The article is taken from the Chicago Tribune
of the Goth inst.l
VIM. II. Bush Dead.
William Henry Bush, organizer Of the
Bush s. Gerts Piano company, and founder
of the Methodist Episcopal Old Peoples
Home, died last evening at his apartments
In the Walton Building, S07 North Clark
street. Mr.. Bush had been i'll only since
Saturday. The disease, pneumonia, became
worse suddenly at o'clock yesterday, and he
died soon after. His wifo and two sons,
Benjamin F. Bush and VIM. L. Bush, survive
him.
Mr.. Bush entered upon the principal bust.
ness venture of his life long after he once had
retired. He was 50 years old WI. en-, at the
solicitation of his sons, he began the manu-
facture of pianos.
In the later years ofhls life his benefactions
which always have been given through the
Methodist Episcopal Church, were devoted
to the founding of the Old Peoples Home,
which now stands partly finished but fur
nishlng Accommodations to 100 persons at
975 Foster avenue.
Mr.. Bush was born in Mechanicstown, Nd.
on May "a, 1898. He came to Chicago with
his wife in 1868, and engaged in the lumber
business, operating number of mills In
Michigan. The lumber firm was Bush, Hill
& Johnston.
In 1876, having purchased considerable
real estate, Mr. Bush retired from active bus.
ness, travelled extensively, and seemingly
had abandoned all intention Of engaging In
any business pursuit again. In 1885, how
ever, his sons persuaded him to undertake
the manufacture of pianos. A start was
made in small way, but the plant was rap
idly developed. In 1889 the firm was incor'
porated and shortly afterward the plant was
established at Dayton and Weed streets.
At the time of his death MIR. Bush was
planning North Side music hall, to be built
at Chicago avenue and Clark street.
Mr. Bush was member Of Grace Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and the funeral will
take place on Thursday afternoon at oclocK
from that church. The burial will DO at
Rosehill.

A gentleman who does not reside many
miles from this place, sent his son to Messrs.
Hoke s. Sebold, merchants and general deal
ers, with sack, containing the wool taken
from one sheep. The young man returned
to his father small handful of money, the
amount received for the wool. His father
counted the money, and as the amount was
80 much more than he had expected to re-
ceive he came to the conclusion that the sack
surely contained sheep, besides the wool.
On investigation eight large phosphate SACKS
were found in the sack with the wool. Eigh.
teen cents pound is fair price for phos-
phate sacks. Chronicle.

AN EDITORS IMPRESSIONS.

We made a business trip to Mar
tinsburg on Monday and after trans
acting our business mad several hours
to wait for train. While there we
met some of our acquaintance and
were cordially entertainment. We are
under obligations TO Mr.. W. G.
Earnshaw, of this place, who is en-
ployed at the Berkeley Hotel, at
which hostelry we dined, for favors
rendered us in the course of our bust
ness. We met our old friend. Mr.. ID.
S. Eichelberger, of the Berkeley
Democat, and who was several years
ago associated with the West Vir-
ginia Democrat, then published in this
place. We were glad to meet him
and visited his Office, where we found
him as of old times, polite and genial,
always ready to entertain his visitors.
He is the wheel horse" of the Dem
ocrat and puts fourth an excellent
paper. We also acknowledge favors
from Mr.. l.. ID. w. Gerhardt, clerk of
the Circuit Court of Berkeley county,
for his kind attention III entertaining
us in passing the hours He has
clean, attractive Office, and keeps his
books in an orderly and systematic
manner, and we know whereof we
speak, because we have had some ex-
perience in such an Office ourself.
AIR. Gerhardt is courteous and polite,
and we know he was born so, because
there is no affection IN his manner.
This is what we appreciate and we
have but one fault to find with our
friend, and that is, he belongs to the
wrong political party. We made a
visit TO the law Office of our old
friend, Mr.. u. 5. q. Pitzer, the able
prosecuting attorney of Berkeley and
found him busy and suffering from
the heat. He has grown somewhat
heavier since we last saw him. 1t is
no use for us to say anything about
Grant-every body that knows him is
cognizant Of his good qualities, and
he is all right and if any one does not
believe il, just try him, Charles
Town Farmers Advocate.

B & O. ORDERS.
VIII Control the G., l.. & w. and o. II :
Orders to Come Direct from b. a. o.
Officials to the New Lines
Acquired.

II is rumored that the b. and o.
company will issue orders direct to
the newly purchased roads after An
gust /. There has yet been no cfficia
announcement made to this effect
but the officials of the @. L. and W.
and the Ohio River roads have learn
ed from good authority that such
would be the case. The Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling has been con-
trolled in general way by the B. and
q. company since the purchase few
months ago, but the local officials re-
ceived 10 orders from the b. and o.
men direct. The same relationship
has existed between the b. and o.
and o. r. since the purchase of the
latter by the former three weeks ago.
Now the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany will operate the two roads as
parts of the system. On and after
August | all orders will come direct
from the b. and o officials 1t is
thought too that at an early date
there will be many changes among
the local officials on the two roads
at the important points.

from Jail on Sunday.
There were six in the original gang,
but the gang kept dwindling away as

remained Since the tramps refused
