Waterworks Save a Fine House Fire was discovered in the third or attic tioor of Dr. Boyd’s fine brick and stone residence upon College St, about 9:00 o‘clock this morning. The flames spread up under the roof where they were hard to get at. necessitating the cutting of a hole through the roof, when the fire was conquered and the damage stopped. Of course consider- able water was used before it was dis- covered that this was necessary, this fact clearly demonstrating that with only the chemical engine at hand, one charge of which would not have lasted long enough to put out the fire, this beautiful home and residence would, in all probability, have been another seri- ous sacrifice to the fire fiend. It is thought that the fire started through s arks from a burning chimney working t irough a crevice and then igniting. It is not positively known how the fire originated. The loss from fire and water damage will be several hundred dollars, fully covered by in- surance. The fire company responded prompt- ly and considering their experience did so in a commendable manner. While their has been criticism assed because the boys have not drills and practised more the fact remains that the first test found them equal to the occasion and successful in their efforts. While we believe that the utmost system and efficiency possible in this direction should be maintained and cannot say that asZmuch has been accomplished as might have been. we are inclined, un- der the circumstances, to let the matter pass without further comment. That our position in advocating waterworks has had so good a vindication is enough for one day. Dr. Boyd and family desire to ex— press their appreciation of the kind efforts and assistance of all in fighti/rég their fiery visitor, and have reques us to make this announcement. Death of Mrs. Alexander Tor- ‘ . ,rance. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Alexander Torrance last Sunday came as a great shookrto all. :A y 1 days before the final summon. she was considered in u m wereme death. The shock‘ of turn realization of a great loss, of aw loved one gone forever, has brought gloom and sadness to more hearts than the‘ two lonely ones of husband and son, who mourn together b a fireside that expression, un- natural though familiar. But the final summons that knows nothing but obedience came, the soul of a good woman, s devoted wife, a lovin mother and a kind, sympathetic an appreciative friend has taken its flight to the final' resting place and is in heaven, basking in the per tual sun- shine of God’s great ands l powerful love. We mourn but not in vain. Hope is with us and a memory to be cherished. The simple story of a life well 3 out, duties faithfully performed, is to d in the obituar notes attending the life's history of t e deceased. Henrietta F. Coleman was born in Knox county, Ohio, February 5, 1850. She died at . the old family home in Linn township, Sunday, December 4, 1898, after a three weeks’ illness of tubercular pneumonia. in early life she joined the Christian church, which dissolved some time after her her letter had never been received; but she continued her faith in Jesus and fully put her trust in God. Of late years, in company with her husband, she had attended Presbyterian services at Paralta under the ministration of Rev. Hugh Robinson. She married Alexander Torrance January 1,1863, and remained a faithfulcompanion un- til her death. She was the mother of two children, one of whom preceded her to the better world, her remaining only son, Charles Torrance, was present at the home and services. The Alexander ’Torrance family is one of our famous sturdy pioneers, re- spected highly in the community which attested its regard for the memory of the deceased by attending in large num- bers the obsequies. The funeral ser- vices were held at Mt. Zion church in Linn Grove, conducted by Rev. Hugh Robinson of S ringville, assisted by Rev. A. K. box of Mt. Vernon. Many from Mt. Vernon were among the number of friends and neighbors who filled the church and came to ex- tend their sympathy in the hour of deep trouble, to the husband and son. Theinterment took place in the Mt. Vernon cemetery. Card of Thanks. So far as it is possible for us to do so in a formal manner, we desire to ex~ press our thanks to the many good friends and neighbors who extended their kind and sympathetic ministra- tiona during the sad ours and trials of our afflictions in the sickness and and death of wife and mother. With the realization of an invaluable and irreparable loss hanging over us we ask the blessing of Him, who in His infallible wisdom has seen lit to demand the ordeal, upon you all. ALEXANDER TORRANCE. CHARLES ToaaANCE. Death of Sylvester McKean. From the Newton Recorder we get the, followiu obituary of Sylvester McKoan, an o d pioneer resident and schoolteacher of Mt. Vernon, who made our city and old time friends a pleasant visit last summer. The death of Mr. McKean, which occured at the home of his daughter, Mrs: Al. Miller, in Des Moines last Friday, removos another (good ol man who has been honored an respected in this city for nearly thirty-five'years. He was born in Wayne county, Ohio‘ ,Feb. 14th, 1826, and came to Iowa, set- tling in Linn county. in 1849. Septem- Hdditional Lorri ’.’.’.’.’.’.’v’-’- \. \. \. \u. ‘.. ‘.. ‘.. ‘.. e. \. -‘.

()n the 18th of December, 1896, Mrs. McKean pasSed away and since then Father McKean has made his home with his three daughters—~Mrs. Josie Tathwell of Marion, Mrs. Laura War- den of Venclever and Mrs. Ida Miller of Des Moines, all of whom were with their father during his linal illness. Mr. McKean had been a faithful and consrstant member of the Presbyterian church for over forty~six years, and of the First Church in Newton since the fall of 1804. The remains were brought to New.- ton on Saturday, and at 2:30 Sunday afternoon funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. R. F. Chambers, and attended by a large number of the old neighbors and friends of the deceased. The music was by a quartette composed of Mr and Mrs. Carrier, Miss Robinson and Mr. Brown with Miss King as organist. After the services, which were Very solomn and impressive, the remains were taked to our beautiful cemetery and gently laid to rest by loving hands, beside those of his faithful companion. Dr. Berrv at Cornell. Rev. Joseph F. Berry, D. D.. of Chi cago, preached at the college auditor- ium last Sabbath morning and deliver- ed a college lecture at the Methodist church in the evening,the theme of the latter being “The MISSIOII of Altruism.” He also addressed the stu- dents at chapel on Monday morning. These addresses were among the finest which it has been the privilege of Cor- nell students and the community at large to hear of late, and were highly appreciated by the audiences w .ch crowded the buildings at each service. Dr. Berry is an interesting character. He is a young man, being now only a little past forty years of age, yet he 0c- cupies one of the most conspicuous positions in the Methodist church. His father was a Methodist preacher, and his brother Rev. E. A. Berry, is pastor of the Second Congregational churchin Cedar Rapids. Dr. Berry began to preach in charge of a country circuit when only seven“ teen years of age. After serving three or four charges in the Detroit confer- ence, he was called While pastor at Mt. Clemens, Michigan, to be associate edi- tor of the Michigan Christian Advocate, the paper edited by Dr. J. H. Potts who made such a favorable impression here on the Day of Prayer for Colleges 8 year or two Since. While holding this position, Dr. Berry displayed such signal ability as an editor and became so popular throughout the state of Michigan as a pulpit orator and plat- form speaker, that he was chosen unanimously as editor of the E worth Herald when the Epworth Beague launched that enterprise eight years ago. He was then about. thirty-three years of age and the problem of the paper was a doubtful one, as two young people’s organs for the Methodist church launched pronoust had more or less of a failure. Under his compe- tent manageme t, howaver,the Herald soon became on to popular and in four ears passed the most sanguine expec- '%gion of its friends by attaining a cir- ation of. 50,000 co ice at!"

In addition to this, Dr. Berry is in goat demand throughout all parts of nited States in Epworth League ss~ scmblies, as a pulpit orator and as a lecturer. We understand that he has» pledged the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Methodist church to return at an early date and give his lecture on “What a Tramp saw in the Emerald Isle.” Oratory Recital.
