moved to do so, responded in
beautiful and pathetic appeal tt
those present to strive to lead {
life of purity and spirituality lik'
unto that of her to whom they haC
come, to pay the last sad rites
closing with a touching expression
of sympathy for the bereaved fam
lily. She spoke for ten or twelve
minutes and was listened to witt
breathles attention. The pail bear
ers were N. T. Jerman, William w
Nelson, John M. Voshell, John Van.
Gasken, John H. Hoffecker anc
William M. Bell. The large pro.
cession then moved in the direc.
ton of the Episcopal Cemetery
where the closing ceremony of re.
spect was paid to long anC
beautiful life. 1t was an event
that perhaps not one of the com
pany had ever witnessed-the bur-
ial of one of such advanced years
and most probably never will
again. Everything about the OBJ
sequies was consontant with the
life of the deceased, simple and I'm
ostentatious, but orderly and beau
tiful. The following persons from
other places were present to unite
with the family in their express
sions of sorrow: ]. p. Eyre and
wife and Miss Mary Pennell, Of
Chester; Mrs. J. G. Catherwood,
daughter and son, of Philadelphia !;
Mrs. Luther w. Reynolds, of Bal
timore; DR.. Corse and Miss Bring
hurst, Of Wilmington; Samuel Reg
ester and Horace Carpenter, Phil
adelphia; DR.. Emanuel Stout, near
Leipsic; Robert w. Reynolds, Fred
erica; Jacob Cowgirl and wife and
Palmer Cowgirl, Camden; Manlove
Hays and wife, John A. Nicholson
and wife, John r. Nicholson, Miss
Harriet Comegys, Miss Cowgirl,
William Denney and wife and Al
bert Cowgirl and wife, Dover. Mrs.
Denney's two sons, living, Charles
Denney living in Missouri, were
unable to come to the funeral.
There is something peculiarly
sad in the untimely death Of Miss
Venie Money. A little less than
two months ago her younger sister
Ella, was buried amid manifesto
lions Of grief in an unusual wide
circle. The deceased was taken
Immediately after with the same
disease, typhoid fever, but gradu
ally regained strength until three
weeks ago, when from slight ex-
posture, a relapse set in ending IA
tally on Sunday; and today, the
grave SO recently made in Glen
wood Cemetery was opened and
the remains placed beside those of
her loved sister. United in live,
they are not divided in death" She
had just reached the age of eigh-
teen when snatched away-as is
the rose when it reaches its period
of greatest beauty and fragrance.
AS girl and young lady she made
use of every means of advance
ment; attractive in person and
manners it is not to be wondered
at that her parents are overwhelm-
ed with grief at their double be
reavement. The funeral was large
ly attended by persons from this
town and country; the casket bore
several beautiful floral designs, the
pillow containing the words "Our
Venie," in purple immorteiles. The
Revs. Stephenson, Rigg, Roe, and
Jones took part in the solemn ser
vices.
Mrs. Hannah Wilson was buried
yesterday from the residence Of
her son-in-law Wesley Warren.
When Mrs. Warren died some TWEEN
ty years ago she took charge Of
his house and his two children,
both of whom died with consump-
tion just as they were entering
young womanhood, leaving her
thus alone. Mrs. Wilson was a
woman Of great goodness of heart,
and esteemed as an earnest Chris
tian, devoted to the M. F. Church
in all its means of grace.
Sale of a Railroad The Phila-
Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad directors on Monday at
the annual meeting in Wilmington
confirmed the purchase of the Del
aware and Chesapeake Railway,
which runs from Clayton on the
Delaware Railroad to Oxford, Md,
"a miles. This purchase has been
in contemplation some time, in
fact the terms agreed upon, sub
ject to the confirmation of the Di-
rectors Of the p, w. & B. The
new management it is understood
will go into effect the first Of Feb
ruary. This makes the second
Branch road the Pennsylvania has
purchased, the other being the
Kent and Queen Anne's running
from Townsend to Centreville. The
next to fall into their hands will
doubtless be the Kent Road, run
ming from Bombay Hook to Ches-
