4 FORTUNES MADE BY A TOY YANKEE DEVICES FOR GATHER ING IN THE NICKELS. 7b a Advance Made in Inventions of This Character—A Future Financial Prince—Some Points About Jay Gould’s Oldest Boy. New York. June 11. —The ingenious toy makei-of old who made a coach-and-four, complete as to all details, so small that the shell of a hazelnut would cover it, has lxxm surpassed in the line of ingenious plaything by a Rhode Island Yankee. With true Yan kee shrewdness this toy maker lias so con structed his creations that they make money and draw it from two channels into one coffer. 'The devices are the little gold and silver steamboats, locomotives, fire engines and Corliss engines, which are found in the lux; irious New York saloons and hotel lob bies, in one amusement hall and in public resorts all over the Union. The idea of con structing these toys, whose mechanism should be made to move by dropping nickels into a slot in the pedestal on which they rested originated with an ingenious New' England model maker, and fortunes are now living made out of the enterprise. One large firm in Providence, R. 1., has a large factory devoted entirely to the business and scores of men employed Strange to say, the makers refuse to sell their goods. Last week the proprietor of the principal hotel on Union Sijuare offered the manu facturer in question $5,000 fbr the model of a steam fire engine, the machinery of which runs to the tunes of a music box after one has drop]>ed a nickel into the slot in the ped estal. The offer was refused tiecausc the firm never permits its goods to go out of its possession. They lease the toys for the handsome sum of BSO per month or give the proprietors of profitable resorts a peroent age of the income. In cases where a per centage is given the collector of a bank, designated by the owners, calls once a week to clean out the nickels that the toy has ac cumulated and to give the proprietor of the place his share, which never exceeds 38 per cent. In popular resorts the income from these toys amounts to and sl2 a day. They are models of tire engines, locomo tives or steamers of certain well-known manufacturers or lines, w hich pay the com pany for making them a handsome sum for advertising their corporations. Thus money from two sources accrues to the rich Yan kees who originated the idea. One of the first of their machines was the model of a 6teamboat placed in a Chicago saloon of note. Since that steamer was put in profit able vibration more than a dozen devices have been placed in New' York resorts, and the makers have their models in saloons as far West as Denver and as far South as Texas. In the places frequented bv the poorer classes they have music boxes, which are operated by dropping cento into the .slots. The average income from these is $5 per day. The Yankee has not yet been able to make music boxes that equal those of the Swiss manufacture, and the makers of the toys in question, all of which are pro vided with music boxes, send abroad $50,- 000 a year for them. Tho most profitable model is a steam fire engine. A magnificent locomotive, perfect as to every detail, ranks next in popularity. Its machinery works, its electric headlight blazes forth and a music box underneath it plavs popular airs at the instance of a nickel. In a few weeks habitues of one New York place who choose to spend their nickels on the .device will see the perfect model of a modern per fecting printing press, which will throw off as souvenirs copies of a newspaper. The manufacturers will derive income from the nickels, from the royalty paid by the news papers advertised or from certain firms whose advertisements apjiear in tho souve nirs. In addition to these toys arp the machines made by a New York firm which gather in the nickels at a surprising rate in much fre quented resorts. One of these gives the depositor of a nickel a shock of electricity, and another shows him his weight. One of the most popular inventions in this line is a little apparatus w’hich, when a nickel is dropped into it, throws out a receptacle and presents the donor of the 5-oent piece with a package of candy. The stock of the com pany making these machines last men tioned is so greedily tnken up that none is on the market. Branch corporations for in troducing their nickel collectors in Europe as to be organized. Tlie New England Yankee inventor who first originated the idea is making a minia ture race course for sporting resorts. Sev* eral little horses rim around a circular hur dle track so constructed that no one can tell which horse will win. The toy will give betting men a chance to wager their money on the miniature horses and thcownerof the invention a handsome income from the nickels of the betters. AmosJ. Cummings. U. A young man of about 24 years of age. five feet eight inches in height, with a rather swarthy complexion ami jet black eyes, en ters the great Western Union building every morning abort 9 o’clock, goes up to the third story in the elevator, enters his private office, throws off his coat and plunges into work. 'About -1 o’clock he leaves the building, walks down to the Battery and boards a steam yacht, which immediately sails up the Hudson river, txmnd for Irvington, about twenty miles distant. The young man will one day be one of the great financial powers of this country. It is George G. Gould, son of Jay Gould, whose fame is world-wide. Young Gould during the winter lives in Forty-seventh street, one door below his father's large double brown stone house, ou the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street. He and his wife will pass tire summer with the elder Gould at Irvington. He is identified with the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the Man hattan Elevated railroad and tlie Missouri Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Texas and Pacific, Bt. Louis and li-on Mountain and other Gould roads. As is well known, he has been married for about a year to a former actress, who made some reputation on the stage as a soiibrotto. Young Gould is a sensible fellow, and t his fact was illus trated by a little incident on the day of his wedding. Late on tho eventful day the fact that he was to lie quietly * married at his father's mansion, in Irving ton, became known in tho city, and naturally the city editors, those journal istic generals who command the reportorial coq>s, were impressed with the importance of the occasion, and they sent their re porters here and there in a frantic hunt for the news. Few thought it worth while to go up to Irvington, but one bright young writer for n well-known luminary decided that he would draw truth from the fountain head. Arriving at Irvington, the pleasant town named after the genial author Of the “Sketch Book,” he hired a barouche and told the driver to take him up to the resi dence of Mr. Gould, several miles distant. They had gone hardly more than a mile when the driver, nodding in the direction of an approaching equipage gav with jingling silver trappings and spirited horses, driven by a liveried coachman with a pompous little footman by his side, said: “Khure, here comes Mr. Gould now, sor.’’ “IV heel round,’’ said the rejxu'ter, “and don’t let him bcut you iu getting t>ack to the depot.” The reportorial turnout was not one which a pennon would le proud to show in Central Park, The horses were atigulnr in their ap pearance and seemed like emliodied remiu tsceneeH of the seven years’ famine in Egypt. ut if they stymied to lack siietsl apiieHi*- anoes were deceptive, for they won the race to the depot by several lengths. Young nml!' t* 1 ba 1 hwtboon married wedding trip. When ret hi? Ma ’Y thl ‘ reporter lie looked Iffy“ rpl ?' <1 u " rt n llul ” sheepish. Such unpleasant to news,,,, nnfl character, what ■HL m *Y the opinions of fat vitted snobs on the subject, and the young writer in question of course had no wish to intrude ujxm a happy bridegroom, though he had known him for several years, lie hoped that there might lx> some opportunity of securing a few par ticulars of the event on the train going down to New York from Mr. Gould himself, and t hus avoid mistakes that would tend to make the whole affair ridiculous. But the future millionaire, having secured his tickets, came over to the newspaper man, shook hands pleasantly, and in response to a few polite inquiries, and knowing that he was talking to as thorough a gentleman as lumself, gave a modest account of an affair in which the public were so much interested and which the newspapers were therefore compelled to notice, and it is of interest to add that the young millionaire afterwaajb sent a letter of thanks to the newspaper wfftter for the good taste in which his account of the event was written. The future heir to forty millions had what some of the wealthy cads and snobs of this and other parts of the country would not have had, namely: the good sense to recognize the fact that his father's promi nence made the public interested in the son, and that a correct and modest account of the affair was better than the mistakes of exaggerations that might, result from refusal to set the newspapers right. “Make it modest,” was his only request. This remark was characteristic. There is nothing of the vain, pretentious snob about him. Many an idle young fellow heir to possibly a fiftieth part of this young man’s coming fortune, struts a I suit with an insolent air, affects the English stare, and generally makes himself ridicu lous, but George Gould is liked for his quiet, modest manners and respected for his abili ties and industry. He is a graduate of Cor nell University and a member >f the Union and Manhattan Clulis. He relieves his father of much of the routine work of the various Gould interests. Mis. George Gould is a patronness of several well-known charities, and the young couple in time will doubt less become prominent in societ3’. Osuah Willoughby Riggs. A MANIA FOR MARBLES. The Morbid Passion Suddenly Develop ed by a Chicago Hoss. FVom the Chicago Neve. Gen. Grant is one of the oldest hack drivers in Chicago. His name is not Grant, but that is the name he is known under— presumably because in his younger days he looked like the famous statesman-soldier. Well, he is in sore trouble now, all on ac count of the horse that he has been driving for the last eight years. “That hoss is 1“ yeato old,” said Grant yesterday, “and I’ve had him so long that it seems like we was brothers or relations o’ some kind. Nobody else could drive him like I could; he understood me and I under stood him —we got along fust-rate. About three months ago I changed 1113- stand from Dearborn street, near the Trbtune office, around to State street in front of the Pal mer house. Business boomed and ever3 r thing went well until one day last April—it was on a Thursday, I recollect, for on the same day I bought anew harness for the hoss. Waal, that very sameday along came a gang of the raggedest little newsboy 3'ou ever see an’ began to play marbles on the sidewalk alongside of where my cab was slandin’. At first the hoss didn't notice ’em, but l)3 r ’n’ by his ’tention was attracted by the noise an’ he looked round. Likely as not he had never seen a game of marbles afore, for bosses isn’t particularly observin’ critters. At any rate, it was clear that he was amused an’ fascinated —I could sec that by the expression into his eyes. He laid his ears forward kind of attentive like anil watched them bo3's as earnest as any growed up man yon ever seen. Ever since that day that hoss haz been stuck on marbles—jest insane on the subject. I have tried to drive tho newsboys off’n the pavement, but, Lor’s sake-! it ain’t no use tryin’; I don’t own the pavement and they’ve jest as much right to it as I hev. But the hoss is ruined, and marbles lias done it. There he stands gawpin’ at them boys for hours at a time. When a party comes along as wants to ride — “ ’Carriage?’ says I. ‘Nice, clean cab an’ rapid hoss.’ * “ ‘Get out,’ says they, ‘that hoss is sick. Jest see how liis 03’os look, andwot’sthe matter with him that he twist his head round so?’ “When Tdo get a load it’s as much as I can do to get the darned hoss awa3’ from the stand—he wants to hang around an’ see ’em play marbles. Then he’s in a hurry to git back; or, if he strikes a game of marbles anywhere along the line of our trip, bless my e3'es if he dosen’t shy up to the side walk and want to watch the perceed ings? “I took him to the veterinarian’s t’other <ln3’,” continued Grant. “The veterinarian bled him an’ pln'siekod him an’ looked him all over. “ ‘Grant,’ says he at last. ‘I don’t know what ails your hoss, but ’pears to me like some insijious vice was sappin’ his system an’ a-preyin’ 011 his vitals. He hez all the symptoms of sof’nin’ of tho hrain; ef lie wasn’t a hoss I’d say he was a board o’ trade man who had been dealin’ in pork an’ wheat. ” “ ‘lt’s them marbles,’ wez I, and then I told the veterinarian all about it and asked: “Is it too Into to save ’itn?’’ “He kind o’ shook his head. ‘lt’s a hard t hing to save a hoss when be gits on the downward path,’ sez he. ‘Houses is a good deal like men; ef t.he3' oncet get into bad habits it’s hal'd to break up. 1 have heerd that Mayor Roche wos goin’ to stop all gamblin' in Chicago; if he does, why, of course, them boys can't play marbles for keeps no more, an’ that’ll do away with the vice as is impairin’ the usefulness of this ’ere hoss. But if the Mayor don’t keep his word there ain’t nothin’ I knows on as will restore your boss to a healthy, moral, an’ business-like wa3 r o’ thinking” The Death of Mrs. Cartwright. fYaneie M.Hayee in June Century. On jxige 522 of The Century for Feb ruary there is a note on the death of Mrs. Cartwright. The meeting referred to was in charge of tlie Rev. Hardin Wallace, now a resident, of California. By request of the Rev. John I J . Brooks, editor of tlie /loa ner of Holineas , 1 was at Bethel ( 'impel as a reporter for that paper,-and l wrote the nets Hint of “Mother” Cartwright’s wonder ful death for that paper. Permit me again to state the facts of her death, as 1 witnessed it all, seated as 1 was not. more than six feet in front of her, and with my eyes upon her at the moment. It was about two o’clock in the afternoon. Son(e, teU persons had spoken, or given their “testimony.” She was not called upon to speak, but was about to rise from her sent, when the Rev. Mr. Wallace requested her not to rise, and turning to the congregation said, “We will now listen while Mother Cartwright gives her testimony.” Bhe sjxike of her long and arduous life as the wife of an itinerant Methodist Episcopal minister, of the goodness of God, of the joy and peace she then enjoyed, and with rnuen feeling concluded by sa3'ing: “The past three weeks have been the happiest of all my life; lam waiting for the chariot.” I wrote her words as she spoke them. The meeting con tinued in a quiet way, others speaking for about twenty-five minutes longer, when 1 observed that, Mother Cartwright leaned her head on the shoulder of Mrs. Huett.who sat beside her, and as she did so, closed her eves. I arose and stepped to her seat,, oiiened the window, and found her dead. Then it was that tho Rev. Mr. Wallace said: “The chariot has arrived.” Both Were “Cornered” Perhaps.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 1887—TWELVE PAGES. A CRIMINAL AS THEIR JUDGE. Craig Tolliver’s Red-Handed Rule in Rowan County, Ky. A dispatch to the New York World from Lexington, ICy., says: Craig Tolliver, of Rowan county, Ky., has lieen a hunted desperado and murderer for years and years. Warrants have been served ngainst him, in dictments found against him, posses have searched for him, and a whole company of soldiers went after him and proclaimed martial law in all of Rowan county. But they did not get their man. Cunning, reck less. dare-devil, he fought them from am bush, hid away in the mountain fastnesses when the country grew too hot for him, and when matters quieted down again he came forth cool and unharmed and went at his old tricks. Of course a feud was at the bottom of it. John Martin killed Bill Tolli ver, Craig’s brother, and so, of course, the natural result was that the Tolliver family and their friends set out to kill the surviving members of the Martin family and their friends. Craig shot a few men, and the whole county took sides. Troops were ordered to Moreliead, the dtmnty seat of Rowan county, to quell tho disturbances that had been caused there by' two factions—one under the leadership of (’raig Tolliver, and the other marshaled by Cook Humphries, who was looked upon as being every bit as dangerous as Tolliver, and possessing even more courage. After a long trip in the mountains by the State Guard, peace was j finally restored by ah armistice on the part of the Commonwealth, whose attorney agreed to withdraw prose cution on condition that the two leaders should leave tho State. The principals readily agreed to this, and it was thought that the disorders which had brought the State into such bad repute had come to an end and the troops were ordered withdrawn. Scarcely had jieace been restored when information was received that Tolliver was back at, his okl haunts. But he came back in anew character. Tired of being hunted like a dog, he con ceived the brilliant idea of hunting Instead of being hunted. He thought the matter over in his own rude way and figured things out about like this: The only thing he had ever been forced to fear was that intangible something men called the law. What was the law? he asked. Tlie Judge on the bench was the only peraonal exponent of it that he knew. So his mind was made up. He would become the law. He would make himself Judge. His friends would vote for him. Where was the man brave enough to ride up to the polls and deposit a ballot against him i And so Craig Tolliver, murderer and des perado, a criminal hiding from justice, was elected a Judge of Rowan county. No further need had ho to llee from jus tice. He was justice himself now. The man whose outbreaks had brought shame and disgrace to the fair soil of that section had turned the tables, and with a high hand prepared to turn prosecutor instead of being prosecuted. It was a dazzling stroke of genius. The great opportunity of his life was right at hand, and lie prepared to pay off old scores, and j>ny them off in the name of the law. There are many indictments against Tolliver for serious crimes; vet so terrified are the jieople that they allow a criminal to hold office and exercise the rights of that office. Since the election of Tolliver to the office of Police Judge three gisxl citizens have been compelled to flee from Morehcad. Their lives, their fortunes, their homes, sons, daughters and wives were in danger. In the reports of the elections Tolliver received 20 votes, thereby electing him. People who were against him were afraid to go to the polls, and a man who cannot sign his name legibly is elected to an office which requires knowledge of the law, equity of judgment and .justice in all things. Immediately after taking possession of his office he began the persecution of his enemies. Yesterday afternoon he issued warrants for the arrest of William Logan, 24 years old, and his brother John, 18, charged with Kuklux plans. WaiTants were placed in the hands of Marshal Mali nin to serve. About 3 o’clock Mannin and Tolliver and a posse went to the Logan house to serve the warranto on the two boys. Upon arrival at the Logan home stead Marshal Mannin asked if the boys were at home. The housekeeper answered no, but Mannin knowing to the contrary, forced his way into the house and up-stairs. Immediately the Logan boys, who were secreted upstairs, opened fire upon Mannin, riddling him with slugs from shotguns and killing him instantly. The two Ixl3-3 then attempted to make their escape by getting out b3' the back way of the house, but the two men who accompanied Mannin were stationed in the rear, and as soon as the two I toys made their appearance the posse oiiened fire upon them. When the smoke cleared away it was seen that the Logan boys lay dead—killed at the first shot. The two men who formed tho posse returned to Morehead, gave themselves up and gave the facts as stated. The Logau boys were buried this afternoon at the old burying grounds about five miles north of the town of Morehead. Dr. H. 8. Logan, the father of the two dead boys, is confined in the Lexington jail for safe keeping on a chai'ge of conspiring to kill Taylor Young and Judge A. C. Cole, of the Circuit Court of Rowan county. Dr. Logan, when seen, said that the object was to arrest the boys so that they could lie placed in the hands of Craig Tolliver, who is Police Judge, so that Tolliver could wreak his revenge on them. Howard Logan, an uncle of these bo3's, was one of the parties who was forced to fiee from Morehead a few da3's ago and seek a place of saftriy. That whole section of the State is wild over the affair, and the end is not 3'et. Craig Tolliver is about 55 years old, and has been a desperate character for thirty years. He revets in bloodshed. In 1884, at the August election, the Martin-Tolliver feud was started, and since that time more than a dozen men have been killed in en counters liotween these factions. At the first breaking out of the feud John Martin killed Bill Tolliver, a brother of Craig, in a fight. Martin was placed in the Flemings bm'g tail, from which he was taken b3' Bill Bowling and others on a forged writ of habeas corpus, and shot dead while on the cars on route to Morehead. The warfare has been carried on openly or in ambush ever since that time. Two yeans ago martial law was proclaimed in Rowan county, but as soon as the troops left, the old troubles were renewed. Tolliver protended that lie intended to reform, and somo people were foolish enough to believe his professions. It is the general opinion at Morehead that nothing but the death of Craig Tolliver will restore peace to that section. In Favor of the Ballot. St. Louis is the pious city where a recent violent attack wasinade on the ballet. Dur ing the late engagement of the National Opera Company in tho “future great reli gious,’’ the Bf. Louis Republican one night secured u ballot on the ballot from the audience in attendance. Cards were dis tributed liearing the question: “Shall tlie ballet lie retained?” Voters were requested to write “vos” or “no” with remarks. The voting resulted: For the ballet 1,823, against 201. The following wore some of the re marks of those who voted no: “Also low neck dresses should go.” “Demoralizes the young men and gives an air of res|>ect t<> show of forms.” “Not unless they can wear panto.” “Its effects on the opera are degrading, and it should tie eliminated.” “It seems to lead old men astray more than the young, since they are always in front.” “Not in the st3'le given this evening.” “’Tis too suggestive.” “Chestnut*. “Because it is indecent.” “Most emphatically, no.” .“Has liad effect on the rising generation.” "Not because it is immoral, as tho length of a woman’s dress does not measure her chastity, but because the ballet show is not worth wliut it costs.” “I think it neither adds to the music nor to artistic effect.” “I’d rather see a song and dance." Use the surest remedy for catarrh—Dr. Sago's. BILL NYE MEETS MR. CLEVELAND. A Strange Encounter With the Presi dent in the North Woods. From the New York World. Saranac Lake, June 9. —The ihy' closed quite warm here, and, as the hot dusk set tled down among the sombre green hills, the black flies pulled in their stingers and went home, giving place to the murmur of hot headed mosquitoes. Driven from my quar ters U>3' the heat and the torturing remorse which sometimes comes to a man who has fished not wisely but too well, I strolled forth for some time beneath the gathering wings of the great, quiet night, and finally backed up against a softly sighing pine to scratch my blotched and corrugated back between the shoulder blades, where no hu man hand could reach. I look forward with horror to the day when our forest trees will be utterly swept from the face of the earth, and when with all the agony shed over our race by the mosquito we will not have a for est tree to our backs. I bad only been a few moments braced up against the solemn pine, when I heard alow sigh, welling up from the very heart of some unknown ]x>i-son, who was evidently scratching his back against my tree. “ Who are you, sir?” I hissed through my front teeth, cocking a small pocket pistol and resolved to sell my life dearly. “Do not shoot, for God’s sake,” answered a low, greas3' voice with blanched face. "1 am a friend to you. lam a friend to every bod3' now. lam the President in disguise. Do not, oh, do not contribute another mar tyred President to our already gory histoiy. I pimply came out here to scratch my back under a nom de plume and in a quiet, Jef fersonian way to agitate my bites under an assumed name. I did not know that this was your tree, as heaven is m3' judge.” “It is all well enough for 3'ou here, where no one knows you, to claim that > r ou are the President of the United States,” I thun dered, “but how are you going to prove it/? Identify yourself and show that 3'ou are or ever have lieen one side of a President nnd I will spare you,' But if you are deceiving me I will injure you severely.” “Well, sir, I have been driven to decep tion b3‘ the newspapers. The New York papers seem to think that a public officer is a public cuss, and that I ought not to do anything that it would be wrong for the people to know about, so I am up here on tho quiet, where I can unbend and go fishing and spit on my bait and be a boy again. Here ghoulish glee can never come. Here I do not have to think. You cannot imagine how disagreeable it is to have to think and to be responsible for what you do and be criticised if you do not do it right. My early life ran quiet as the clear brook by which I babbled, and to be tossed about on the tempestuous tide of politics at Washing ton, and to be held accountable every time I appoint a man to office, if he turns out to be a retired convict, I tell you, is tough.” “Oh, yes, all that sounds well,” I said, reaching for him nervously, “but how can you prove that you are the man we are talking about? Can you show that vou lin ve over done anything by which to iden tify yourself with the Presidency V' “Why, of course I can. I got married, didn’t If’ “Yes, several of us have done that, and we were most of us proud of it at the time. If 3'ou are the man who eloped a year ago and acted ashamed of yourself at tlie time and want to point to it now with pride as the 011I3' distinguishing feature of your Presidential career, I will admit that" you are Grover Cleveland, for nobody else would do that way.” He then further identified himself by pro ducing a rabbitt’s foot sent to him by a South ern admirer. It had his name on it, also markes of desiccated fish bait and yellow threads of fine-cut chewing tobacco. So we becajne friendly and chatted on ga3'ly about the prospects for ’BB, and as to whether a fish ought to be cut open jpn the back or 011 the stomach in order to mjiove his viscera, and whether the press yrauly molded public opinion or whether, our moldiest opinion did not really hiva its origin in tne White House, and what was good for prickly heat, and the Drecf Sciott decision, and what to do for membraneous croup and the Wilmot Proviso, and whether it was a bad sign to drop a dishcloth, and as to who struck Billy Patterson, and other live issues of the day. Before we parted, at his request I ex tracted a wood-tick from the back of the President’s neck, and it was given to me by Mr. Cleveland as a keepsake. He said I might have it with pleasure. He also said that he wished it was in his power to give each of his friends a wood-tick or some other little souvenir that did not cost an3’tliing, and that whenever they looked at it it would remind them of him. Just then Daniel Lamont called through the summer twilight to Mr. Cleveland that it was 9 o’clock and time that he was in bed; and so we parted, and as I came away with 1113' little Adirondack wood tick clutched tightly in my tremulous fingers, I could not helji thinking that I had never met a Presi dent who presented a more intellectual or a more commanding appearance in the dark than Mr. Cleveland, and I regret to read da3’ after day the be.toll and vituperative comments of various journals throughout the country, who make a specialty of in dulging day after day in what Mr. Cleve land very justly and very orthographically refers to as ghoulish glee.

Charity was one of the most prominent characteristics of his life. He made many friends wherever he went, and especially was the appreciation of bis fellow-citizens made manifest l>y the large concourse of people who met his body at the church in Scriven county, where it hail been taken for interment. For years lie had been a sufferer from a chronic trouble. This assumed a serious form some few months ago. and, in despite of the best medical skill and the constant, patient nursing of a devoted wife and loving friends, death ensued. Though he is dead, sorrow not as those without hope. During In', sickness, and while there was good hope of his recovery, he gave his heart to God, was received by Rev. T. T. Christian into Trinity Methodist Church, and for weeks rejoiced in the Holy Ghost. He fre ?ueutly expressed his great regret to his old riends for having lived so long a time in sin, and exhorted them to turn to Christ, His con version was bright, and he was enahied unnuir muringly to liear up under his severe illness. When the dying ho ir came, with his mental faculties still clear ami rtror,*. he declared his readiness to go. and trusting in Jesus, he fear lessly stepped out of time into eternity. A few days before he died, while friends and loved ones bad gathered round his bedside, he clearly and sweetly joined in singing his favorite hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee.” His feet had been taken out of the pit, and anew song placed in his mouth. Only a short while before he breathed his last, he looked up into his wife's face, while she was still holdiug his hand, and said: “Darling, God's will must be done." With this he entered Heaven. “For thou. Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.” In the death of our brother, the community has lost one of its most valuable citizens, and his devoted wife a loving husband.
