PROMINENT MAH PASSES AWAY. MR. MOSES ISAAC DIED AT AN EARLY HOUR YESTERDAY MORNING. HAD BEEN ILL FOR SOME TIME AND HIS DEATH WAS NOT A SURPRISE. Brunswick was saddened yesterday morning by the news of the death of Mr. Moses Isaac, one of her most prominent, and highly valued citi zens. For over a year, Mr. Isaac’s health has been failing and, although all that human ingenuity could suggest was done to ward off the sad result, it availed not. Specialists were consulted in the north as well as in the soulh,and ac accompanied by his devoted wife, Mr. Isaac traveled from one place to an other for a year, seeking restoration to health, but the disease was too deeply seated and its eradication was Impossible. Had it not been for careful nursing, watchful attendance and the indefat igable perseverance in treatment, the sufferer would have succumbed long ago to the disease. But love and faith and hope were his best physicians and for many months he lingered among his dear ones, teaching them by his patient endurance to hear the sorrow which ovorsliadowd them then, and must fall ere long to darken for many days the brightness of their hitherto happy lives. Mr. Isaac was born in Pfungstadt, Germany in 1842 and came to Amer ica at 'he age of sixteen, making his UUXIIO Hi 1 liumasvijie. fir me,,, ... came Identified with the interests of tho south. . When the war broke out, he should ered his musket and marched away to fight or to die for the land of Ills adoption. After the war, he resumed his residence in Thomasville and on March 7, 1875 was married to Miss Emma Kahn, of New York. Tine - children, Mr. Waiter B. Isaac. Miss Carrie Norah Isaac and Mr. Julian Isaac were born during their residence in Thomasville. In 1888 the family removed 'to Brunswick, where Mr. Isaac took his place in' the foremost ranks of progressive, public-spirited men; and his interests in our city and his active work for her welfare is too well known to be remarked on. Mr. Isaac has held various official po sitions in the city and as amember of the board of education and county commissioners. He was always act ive in every movement that was for the good of Brunswick and her citi zens. His loss will bo sadly felt in tue community, for there is always re gret over he death ot a good man, and, as a good man, he was truly known in every sense of the word. A loyal citi zen, an honest, upright business man and above all a devoted husband, father and brother. Grief reigns to day in the hearts of those that loved i ; v x*..! .1.. him and sympathetic friends grieve . with them. But the world is better off for his having lived m it and this I may be truly be a great consolation. : For there is no nobler existance than to live your own life so well as to in- : fluence the lives around you an.l up- , lift them to higher things. “His life was gentle; and the ele ments so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up and say to ail the world; ‘This was a man.’” Funeral services will be held at the residence on Union street this after noon at 4 o’clock, Rev.

At (he time I hud an opportunity of getting the ser \ices ot the chief horso expert of the United States army as adviser, I cabled the suggestion to the war office, but re ceived no reply.” The whole debate on this qucstii n causes widespread indignation. Tho ministerial press vigorously charges tho war office with absolute incompeteucy, if nothing more, and demands a search ing inquiry, QUIET WEDDING LAST NIGHT.
