A Pleasant Occasion,

Closed Under n Mortgage.
Mr. J. B. Hill, dealer in dry goods in this city,
was closed yesterday by the foreclosure of a
mortgage in favor of local creditors. The liabili
ties are estimated nt $18,000, and it is thought
that the assets will be sufficient to cover the in
debtedness.
Funeral of Mrs. Rowell.
The fbncrnl of Mrs. Martha Rowell took place
Sunday from the family residence, No. 1112 Fifth
avenue, and was largely attended. Rev, R. II.
Harris conducted the services Tho pall bearers
were Messrs. ,T. A. Frazier, J. N. Barnett, W. J.
Watt, G. J. Peacock, M. M. Moore and J. L.
Howell.
On Sunday morning last the remains of Rev.
Z. H. Gordon arrived on the 10:55 train from
Goodwater, Ala., and were taken charge of at
the train by a committee of prominent citizens,
and a large number of the friends of tho de
ceased who had gone to the depot out of re.-pect
to his memory. The remains were accompanied
by Governor John B. Gordon, Major FiUgene
Gordon, Mr. — Gordon and Mrs. Roper, of Good-
water. The procession formed at the depot and
proceeded up Twelfth street to the First
40,790 . itaptist church, which was crowded
by an immense congregation of
Columbus people, many of whom were friends of
Rev. Mr. Gordon during his residence among us.
The pall-bearers were ex-Oov. J. M. Smith, Mayor
C. B. Grimes, Messrs. A. R. Wilkerson, H. H. Ep-
ping, R. A. Carson, J. E. Appier and J. M Estes,
and Captain C. A. Redd. The religious exercises
were co jductcd and the Ainernl sermon was
preached by Rev. Robert II. Harris, pastor of the
church, who opened tho service by reading the
Psalm beginning with the words, “The righto us
hath hope in his death. Let mo die like the
righteous, and let my death be like Ills.’’ After
the rending of the Psalm, hymn 648 was lined
and sung by the choir and congregation, the first
stanza being:
Servant of God, well done;
Re<t. from thv loved employ;
The battle f light, the victory won,
Enter thy Master’s joy.
At the conclusion of tho hymn a very pathetic
prayer was offered by Rev. J. II. Campbell. Rev
Mr. Harris then took his text from the second
book of Samuel, ill.. 38, which reads: “There is a
prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel.”
Tho sermon was one of tho ablest and most elo
quent funeral orations ever delivered in Colum
bus.
The preacher begnn by saying that “a prince
and a great man had fallen in Israel. That it
was natural with men to eulogize the dead. One
of the brightest traits of our fallen, darkened
human nature is the disposition to forget the
fo lies, or the faults, and to remember only the
virtues of the departed. It is a principle of ethics,
even in heathen philosophy, to speak no ill of a
deceased fellow being. Happy is the man whose
faults are few and whose virtues are many;
whose defects of character are hidden by the
noble attributes that enwreathe his memory
“But man is not alone in this laudable disposi
tion to ignore the evil and to commemorate the
good, in the life of one whose earthly career is
ended. God, Himself, has sot us the illustrious
example, in the record of inspiration. David, the
king, uttered tho langnago of the text, in eulogy
of Abner. And he expressed the common senti
ment of the people and won the approbation, the
admiration and the love of all Israel, by the
culogium that he pronounced at the bier of the
murdered captain. Abraham was called in Holy
Writ ‘the fa her of the faithful and the friend of
God.’ The inspired apostle to the Gentiles, in
one word, sublimely eulogized the ‘righteous
Abel.’ The faults—oven the vices of David are
forgotten, in the inspired declaration that he was
‘a man after God’s own heart.* Mo es, the
Death of Dr. Wardlaw.
Dr. M. C. Wardlaw, of Chattahoochee county,
died of paralysis of the heart on Sunday morn
ing, in his 75th year. He was an old and hon-

Rnrued to Death.
Coroner Brooks was summoned on Sunday to
hold an inquest over the body of Alonzo Riley, a
negro boy who resided on the premises of Mr.
W. E. Matthews, in Wynnton. The boy, while
In 0 cabin with a younger brother on Saturday
nigl had fallen into the fire and burned to
death. The younger brother was asleep, and
nothing wo s known of the uufortunatc boy’s fate
until Mr. Matthews was attracted to tho house
by the odor of burning flesh, and found the dead
body. The boy was subject to fits, ami was doubt
less attacked by one and fell into the fire.
More and Buggy Stolen.
Late yesterday evening about G o’clock, Dr.
Seth N. Jordan, in his professional rounds, called
to see Mr. W. It. Moore at his residenco. Getting
out of his buggy he carefully hitched his mure
a degree of consideration at the hands of the
mighty God, that no other man has ever known.
“ ‘For his was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the tramping,
Nor sawthe train go forth;
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes, when the night is done,
And the crimson streak, on ocean’s cheek,
Grows into the great sun.
And lmd he not high honor?
The hillside, for his pull,
To lie in state, while angels wait,
With the stars, for tapers, lull.
And the dark rock-pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And God’s own hand, in that lonely land, ’
To lay him in his grave.’
But while men laud him as a general of consum
mate skill and a s alesman of transcendant
genius, hear the eulogy of the God who gave him
sepulture: ‘He was the meekest of all men!’ And
listen to the language of Jesus, when lie an
nounced to His disciples the plaudit with which
He will greet the entrance of u believer into tho
realms of glory: ‘Well done, good and fuithfnl
servant! enter, thou it to tho joy of thy Lord ’
“God speaks in eulogy, but upon grounds too
often ignored by men. Ho commends the
humble believer for his meekness and his faith
and for his service—even menial service in spirit
ual things—fur the Master and toward his breth
ren.
“Thus tho character of the Christian is exalted
of God, and thus was tho venerable servant, of
THE JEfflHH FAIR OPENS TO-NIOHT INSTEAD
OF TO-HOKROW NIGHT.
The Ladles Beqnest That Contributions Promised
be Sent In To-Dajr.
The ladles who have charge of the now Jewish
synagogue fair have concluded to have the
formal opening of the fair to-night at 7:30 o’clock
instead of to-morrow night, as originally intend
ed. They extend a cordial invitation to all our
citizens to be present.
The Israelites, us is well known, never solicit
aid outside of their members except to build a
new synagogue or repair an old one. Nor do
they ever take up collections during their ser
vices in a synagogue, except for purposes of
special emergency other than congregational af
fairs if such requires it. They are, as everybody
knows, ever ready to extend a helping hand to
others. Now, as wo may say, once In a life time,
they ask tho public to help them build a new
synagogue, and we hope the citizens will respond
liberally. The new synagogue now being built
will not only be the pride of Israel, but a monu
ment to civilization and an ornament to Co
lumbus.
The fair will be held in the second store south
of the corner of Webster’s building, and will be
opened by Mayor Grimes. Prof Chase’s orches
tra will furnish music for the occasion.
The laclios request that all contributions be Rent
in early this morning, and all those who have
promised eatables for Wednesday will greatly
oblige the managers by sending them to-day, if
possible.

‘There is a prince and a great man fallen.’ His
long life was full of all that makes men truly
great.
“He was great, in tho probity of his character.
He was distinguished, ever, for rugged honesty
and stern integrity. His was a spirit that never
for a moment, swerved from the path of strictest
rectitude in his dealings with his fellow men. *ln
eviv?once of this fact I may nai rate an incident
strikingly characteristic of the man.”
The preacher then went on to relate a pathetic
episode in Rev. Mr. Gordon’s life, in which he
said that he gave five years of incessant and un
requited toil, besides his property and home
stead, to avert the financial ruin of a friend and
kinsman. The sermon was over a half hour in
length, and brought tears to the eyes of almost
the entire congregation. At tho conclusion of
the discourse the duxology was sung, and the ser
vices were concluded at the ceuetery.
Wivh these ceremonies there passed to the
ranks of the undreaming dead a man whose long
life and stainless name aud character illustrated
the highest type of Georgia citizenship and south
ern civilization.

of the buggy that it had been turned around, he
was confirmed in his suspicion that they were
stolen. He immediately notified tho police, and
at a late hour last night no trace of the mare and
buggy bad been discovered. Ho offers a reward
this morniug for their recovery.
The Wellge Perspective Map of Columbus.
This map which we alluded to in our Sunday
issue, we carefally examined yesterday and find
it a most perfect one. No illustration ever made
of the city has shown it in its true light before.
The immensity of water power, the extent of the
navigable river, are all made known by this map.
There are to be eighteen special views of the
leading industrial establishments and business
houses of Columbus giveu conspicuous places on
the margin. Mr. Wellge secured sixteen of these
yesterday. The other two spaces will be filled
to-day. Tbe edition of this lithographic per
spective will be three thousand copies,
and will reach the eyes of many capitalists and
strangers who will glean more information of
Columbus and her poss ibilit ies in a moment than
they otherwise would in a life time. Every
dwelling and building in the city is faithfully
shown, and when the truth about our city is
shown it is always convincing.
Complimentary to Girard.
Professor Solomon Palmer, superintendent of
education in Alabama, has just published his re
port. In it he makes the fallowing complimen
tary remark* about Giraid:
“All that I can now do is to publish extracts
from the published reports of the superintend
ents of the cities of Montgomery and Tuscaloosa,
which happen to be the only ones accessible at
present, and an address delivered in Girard in
the Peabody school district, which illust ates the
happy and beneficial results of local taxation for
school purposes. All the facts therein contained
were confirmed by ray recent visit to the district.
This district, i uder the moral and benign infiu-

for all school purposes, is the model werking-
