Sentinel, Sept, IT. I Having indefinite particulars, our last issue made bnet relerence with regard to the death of Arthur S. Gregg, but authentic information since received permits us to mention such facts regarding the sad event as will be of interest to tbe many frieixls of the deceased. As is well known, Mr. Gregg has, during the past few years, represented the firm of Gregg Co.

in important interests which have required his presence, each season, during the several months, in the Southern States, and particularly in Morristown, where a branch office of the firm, is located. Some weeks sinej as was customary," he adjusted affairs here so an absence of several weeks might be advan tageously employed in the interests of the Southern Agency. With that new Mr. Gregg proceeded Souihsome two months since, devoting his time to the" object that had taken him there, but -it- appears that during a previous visit to Tennessee he had. identified himself with P.

Biggs in manufacturing lumber, their mill being located at Big Creek Mr. Biggs being the -active and managing member of the hrm. Therefore as occasion presented itself Mr. Gre visited' his" partner, going over mill 'and timber lands, "tmd in doing ttus it was necessary to pass from the timber lands to the mill on; logging cars, which are run on a tramway. Oa the day of the accident Mr.

Grejar was ridinir on the forward car of the train, which is run by grevity, the car oemg controlled Dy a system ot brakes but through some cause unknown the brakes failed to operate promptly, and the forward car de railed, Mr. Gregg being hurled from it, his ncaa coming with' the wheel and frame of the car following. While he was oth erwise injured, the fatal wound was tiat of the head. kvery availaole attention was given him, but without favorable results. Death was almost instantaneous ffor while i evidence of life remained some two hours following the ac cident, consiosnrss was but momentary.

His parents, residing at Morris.Otvn, Tenn were promptly jiotifiad of the disaster, and im mediate measures were taken to reach their son with skilled medical attendance, but all trains having passed for the day, it was as a helpless and hopeless effort. But with a sympathy stronger than all personal interest and worthy of all praise and gratitude the officers of the Railway cleared the road and gave the relieving party the right of way. But as the journey was feeing accomplished, bn the distant mountain, attended by rugged men with horny hands but tender, sympathetic hearts, the son lay dying he was dead. body of the deceased arrived here on Thursday evening, Sept. 1 1 th, many friends being-at the depot on its arrival.

The funeral services were held on Friday, Sept. izth, and were largely attended, Rev. R. H. Van Felt officiating.

Excelsior Fire Company and the lodge of Master Masons of this village, and St Augustine Commandery Knight Templars, of Ithaca, were present The casket was garlanded with many floral offerings, mute, fragrant, emblematic of the silent voices the life sweet in worthy deeds; and the evergreen at the grave were expressive of the affection for the departed one, the memory of whom will ever Kve in the hearts of friends. The life of Arthur S. Gregg was a clear and unclouded example worthy of emulation. His purpose was to prepare for the journalistic profession, as literary effort appeared to- be his ruling desire, but realizing that a thoroughly disciplined mind was the first requisite of success, he entered Cornell University and applied himself to such lines of study as would best subserve his adopted profession, but for satisfactory reasons the University course was abandoned, and he accepted a position with Gregg Co. With characteristic energy his duties were performed and it soon became evident that he possessed rare executive ability a conservative principle in the conduct of affairs a clear appreciaton of justice between parties in interest These qualities, supplemented by rigid system, soon placed him in a position of high responsibility and trust "Old men for counsel, young men for" were qualities combined in Arthur S.

Gregg- for young yet Wise was he in counsel, active in producing 'While in his genial manner he endeavored to realize the pleasure of life he still recognized its seriousness. As a dutiful son he reflected honor on his parents, as a devoted grandson he was the crowning hope and stay to his grandparents in their declinine years. They with others must look to the disposer of au tnings and in faith say "it is well;" for there is the assurance that our friend and brother has passed through the trials and uncertainties of this life to experiencethe. joys, and certainties" of the life beyond.
