Quoted by Rev. W. d. Keene, pastor of
the Southern Methodist Church, and the
interment will be In Rockville cemetery.
Mr.. Hurley's death was due to general
debility. Of which he had long been ill.
and was not unexpected. One daughter
and two sons-Mrs. Ida Warthen of AL
bermarle county, Va; A. J. Hurley Of
Washington and Harry C. Hurley of this
vicinity. HIS wife, who died several years
ago. was before her marriage a Miss
Major of Washington.
Miss Sue Howard Davis of 14O9 3Ist
street. Washington, and Mr.. George
Walker of 1888 Columbia road were mar
ried In Rockville yesterday afternoon by
Rev 8. r. White OF the Baptist Church.
The ceremony took place at the home of
the minister in the presence of a young
man friend of the couple. They left for
Washington Immediately afterward. The
young man gave his age as twenty-one
and that OF the young lady as nineteen.
Miss Elizabeth Krause and Mr.. Samuel
Gorham. both Of Alexandra. Va, also
visited Rockville yesterday afternoon to
get married. but were unable to obtain q
license. because the young man was Just
eight days under twenty-one, and had
failed to bring with him the written con-
sen Of his parents. as required by law in
case of minors. Although the young man
declared there was no objection on the
part Of his parents, he said, when told
the license could not be issued without
their written consent, that he guessed he
would have to wait eight days.

and Mrs. William G. Brewer of Bealls-
Vile. this county, and Mr.. Joseph b. Pyles,
a well known young farmer of the vicinity
of Poolesvtlle. were married yesterday
afternoon in Baltimore. where the bride
has been employed several years as q
trained nurse. The ceremony was wit
messed by small company Of relatives
and friends OF the couple.
The condition of Henry Bradley, a
prominent and wealthy citizen Of Rock
Vile, who was struck by an electric car
here last Saturday evening and who has
since been In Washington hospital, took
turn for the worse Tuesday evening and
throughout that night and yesterday was
regarded as critical. He Is reported to be
somewhat better today, and to have a

cline of about 4a6 points during the late

tinued good demand on a scale down.

fresh in the way Of news beyo reports
of firm interior spot markets and indica-

Civic Spirit Needed Here.
To the Editor Of The Star

10 the Editor OF The STAR
What this city needs is a decided in
crease in public spirit-among its citi-
zens-along certain lines. In the
spring and summer civic pride scars
around the boiling point, but in winter
it gets pretty close to zero. December
s, after the heavy fall Of snow, the
slush lay two inches deep all day upon
the sidewalks surrounding the Public
Library. No effort was made to clean
it off. This was also the condition in
front Of many stores and private resi-
dences. Not even sand or ashes were
used to make walking safe. Many
crosswalks were also neglected. The
result was that numbers of persons
were injured more or less seriously bv
falls.
That such condition can exist in
the nationals capital is lamentable. It
is shame and disgrace to the city.
and cannot fail to call forth much adj
verse comment from the many visitors
who come here at this season Of the
year.
If there is no law compelling property
owners to keep their sidewalks clear
Of snow and ice there should be one.
and it should be rigidly enforced. Law
or no law, the citizens should have
pride enough to attend to this matter.
for neglect to do SO not only en-
dangers the lives Of others, but also
tho lives Of the members Of their own
families as we'll. This point seems TO
be entirely overlooked.
