FIRE {AT DR. BOYD’S.
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.

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-

her 2nd, 1851, he was united in marri-
age to Miss Mary A. Kyle, Mt. Vernon
13., and in 1801 they came to Newton.
()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

issuing 115,000 copies per week and it
grows at the rats of nearly 1,000 per
month.
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.”
