When the steamer Mobjack,
two hours late, reached the Old
Dominion wharf on Saturday
evening, there was sorrow at
every heart and tear-dimmed
eyes. For one of their comrades,
since leaving Mathews that morhs
ing had gone to his death and
found sepulture In the cold and
cruel waters. 1t was Secoud Off
Ger Morgan who had so met such
an untimely death,
As usual ON Saturday evening
orders had been given for praC-
Using the fire drill" Always
ready for duty;the boy officer was
doing his part. He was on the
upper deck letting down the boats
In trying to catch a rope that was
thrown to him and missing it he
lost his balance. tHe went over
board. falling free, and reached
the water uninjured. ~ But il
seemed that Providence had willed
it and God meant that his time
had come. Beng only twelve
minutes run from Old Point and
therefore in the roaghest part OF
the Bay there was not much in
his favor AS he came up for the
last time they succeeded in get
ting a rope within his reach, but
the terrors of death were upon
him and he did net see it. Every
thing was done to save him that
was possible Only ga mere
boy-at the outset of a promising
career; endowed by God and ma
ture with rare beauty both in
person and character, loved by
all, it seems exceeding sad that
he should leave U.s. Perhaps an
insight into his Sunny disposition
is best shown by the words of the
old negro chambermaid when she
told, as the tears rolled down hel
dusky cheeks, of how they would
miss Mr.. Morgan. He never
give none o lis 4 Grass word
and had a good word foI
everybody-always a smile, How
could we help loving him, and
now he's gone" He visited HON t
for the last time ON July 6. That
afternoon he and two of his friends
went to church and took a frcnt
seat. Could he but have known
that this was the last the very last
time he would be there | saw
him that afternoon as the boat
steamed of from the wharf. He
was resting his arms on the lower
deck and into his brown eyes mad
Crept d lingering sadness. CoulU
some faint presentment have
come to him in this hour of part
ing that it was the last he should
see of his loved home folks?
We tender our heartfelt SYM
pathy. but who can know, except
he who has had a fellowship o.
suffering, the heart pangs of the
mother. Amidst the heart-crush-
ing sorrow we pray that all the
bereaVed may look to our Heav-
emily Father for comfort-one who
will never fOrsake leave them,
having faith that there will be Z
glad reunion in that land where
parting never comes.
The o. u. s. 8. Company has
done all in its power to recover
the body. A reward for its re-
cOvery is now out, but it has not
yet been found. What an added
sorrow is this to his dear ones.
Could he Bit lie under the vesta
vigils of mother, father, sisters
and brothers resting in a corner
of the garden where the rosebud>
burst with imprisoned sweets

sky smiles by day and sentine
stars keep watch by night, undis-
turbed to rest until the buglt

The ELECTION
Was QUIET
THE VOTING WAS LIGHT IN SOME
OF THE wARDs-soME FUN IN
THE BLOODY SIXTH, WHERE
THE CANDIDATES WERE Nu-
MERous.

Election day in Fargo Was quiet,
only aldermen were to be elected and
in one of the wards there was no OPP
position to the sitting member, Henry
Amerland Of the Third.
Probably the most animated contests
were in the Fourth and Sixth wards.
In the latter It was stated that Dan S.
Stewart had withdrawn from the con-
test against alderman Mcclellan and
friends of the latter said they were
sure of his election. 1t is stated chat
the bringing out of Mr. Dian last FRI
day. was for the purpose of dividing
the probable vote which would go to
Mr.. Hodges.
In the two precincts of the Fourth
ward the vote was very light up TO
noon, but a rush in of electors was ex-
pected after that hour. John Ammer
bobbed up as a sticker candidate in
that ward this morning. In the First
and Second wards things got little
animated this afternoon Friends of
Alderman Marsh predicted his re-elee-
ton in the Fifth.
