JENNIE HELEN HUGHLRTT.

At her home near Kilmarnock, Ian.
caster county, Va, on Sunday, Septem-
Der 4, 1904, Miss Jennie Helen Hughlett
passed from earth TO Heaven at the age
of 81 years and IL months. She was a
member of Rehoboth Methodist church.
She lived up TO her Christian profess
sion, never complaining or murmuring
through her long spell of nearly six
months or intense suffering. Always of
of cheerful and gentle disposition, she
was loved by all that knew her. She
leaves a father, mother, brothers and
sisters, devoted TO her and she to them
She was cripple for many years, and a
great sufferer. 1t Is hard to give her up,
but what a blessed change for her-from
bed of great suffering to home above?
Our loss is her eternal gain. She wished
to get well, until few weeks before she
left US, when she became resigned to the
will of God. Her last word was "mama /"
She had every attention, but nothing ap-
peared to do any good. We wanted to
take her TO Baltimore to the hospital but
che kept too Ill to be removed. Her re-
mains were buried at old White Marsh
cemetery. LOVED ONES

SOME STEAMBOAT NOTES.

During the recent heavy wind
storm steamer Lancaster tied up at
Wilmont wharf in Westmoreland
county, and the strain on the wharf
was so great that it gave way in
many places and was badly broken
up.
Steamer Tourist. which has been
plying between Norfolk and Peters
burg, was to be taken off the line
yesterday. The Tourist is to be put
on line between Norfolk and
Columbia, N. g. A movement is
already on foot to establish a new
line. +. V. Archer, who was purser
of the Tourist, is in Philadelphia,
negotiating for new vessel. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Archer is repre-
sentiDg several business men, who
have put up the necessary capital to
start the steamer on the line. The
Petersburg steamers have not been
paying institutions of late.
The Superintendent of one of the
Pennsylvania line of steamers re-
Gently made trip over the Weems
line from Fredericksburg to Balti-
more. 1t is said he asked many
questions about the Weems Line
wharf property on the Rappahannock.
This revives the report about the
contemplated purchase of this line
by the B., g.. & A. Co, and from
what information we can CLEAN it Is
more than probable thai the deal
will be made in the near future if
not already made. In fact the
rumor is ahoat this week that the
deal has already been made, but we
have no authentic information on
the subject.
