in Gotham Park Baptist church. of
which she was consistent member,
Sunday afternoon. Although the day
was very inclement, large crowd of
Borrowing relatives and friends were
present to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to one they loved. From the
CHURCH she was tenderly borne to
the cesAssSrry just in the rear, fol-
lowed by Borrowing loved ones, and
placed by the side of an infant sister,
who preceded her only month. So
lemnity attended the entire scene of
one so young, accomplished and promis-
ing, called away in the bloom of
youth. She leaves almost broken
parents, grandparents, sisters and
brothers, and many other loved ones to
mourn their loss-but her eternal gain.

Gen. Scott Ship, superintendent of
the v. M. l., has offered his resigna-
ton. The Board of Visitors laid it on the
table for one year.
Valparaiso's loss in life and property
exceeds that of San Francisco, particu-
larry in lives. $500, 600, COO is the prop
erty loss and several thousand is the
number of lives. The people are starv-
ing and the distress of San Francisco
was nothing as compared with the
Chilean city.
The wet summer has paralyzed Tide
water interests. All trucks but early
Irish potatoes are failures. The tomato
canning industry will not produce hall
an output, and prices will be way up.
though the majority of Gamers had al
ready contracted their output at moder-
ate figures. Corn is more fodder than
ears, but unless the weather quickly
settles the fodder cannot be saved
Only grass and peas are prosp ering.

Amid Showers and Sunshine the
Worshippers Gather from Far

were possibly 2, 500 present, and the long
wharf of Cross and Ashburn had everv
available mooring from shore to pier
head occupied by sail and gasoline craft.
and at the pier-head were lying four
large steamers, besides many schooners
at anchor off shore. About two
o'clock the Mobjack, of Norfolk.
steamed up with about 500 more to
swell the crowd. In the early after
noon rain began to fall, and one shower
followed close after another until about
night when it terminated in a severe
storm, and from that time on until
Thursday the downpour has continued
at intervals.
The first service was held Saturday
evening. On Sunday Reverends r. d.
Garland and ]. w. Porter preached
three able sermons, and other services
were conducted as in former years.
Rev. r. d. Garland was called home
Monday night by the sickness of his
wife, and since then the preaching has
been done by Rev. ]. w. Porter. Rev.
Mr.. Hill, President, Claybrook and local
ministers.
l. o. Smither is at the head of the
boarding tent, and is, in his usual well
arranged way, taking care of the many
soJourners there. Orrris James is con-
Quoting Ashburn's dosmitory tent.

tionary stands on either side of the
