BACH, Decatur, ill Flora died quietly at 2 a m. Will be burled hers Friday morning, Coire. MBS. J. KACE.

Tbe sad news was not unexpected, as the deceased has been in a sinking condition for several days, Dr. Hatch telegraphing yesterday that the deceased was slowly dying. Mrs. Bashforth, whose maiden name WBS Flora Race, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs John Race, had been afflicted with a kidney trouble that completely baffl-d the skill of Quincy and Decatnr physicians.

Tbe young wife bore her illntes bravely. When sue was here a few weeks sg: en a visit to her parents, she seemed to mend slowly, but she becams strong enough to go home with ber husband Mrs. BsflMjrth's untimely deatb will rend a feeling of sadness through this community, and tbe deep sympathy of onr people will go out to tbe bereaved parents and yonng husband. The deceased win born in Decatnr. Here she was a bright and bsppy chili brightening her home, Bnd as she grew to womanhood becoming a favorite in social circles, of which she was a bright ornamsnt.

On tbe morning of Dee. 12th, 1882, she became tbe wife of J. Walter Bashfoitb, at St Johns' Church, Rev. W. H.

Moore performing the ceremony. Soon after the marriaga the couple went to lincy, where Mr. Bashforth is the local agent for the Pacific Express Company. Their married life has been one of unalloyed happiness. No sorrow visited them until three or foar months ago when theyoung wife became ad since that lime she had been losing ter strength.

Her Buf- ferings ended this mowing, and to-marrow she will rest the grave at liucy. She leaves no children. Her age was about 27 Tue parents cf the decenstd were in' New Turk en Sunday. They started at once i i on learning of tbe a'ara-iug condition of their but it is if they reached that city before this morniog.

Chairman VanOrdstrand bas if sued the offioial call for the D.mooratio Congressional convention to be held at Clinton on Thursday, Sept. 80th. Macou county is entitled to 9 delegates; McLean 14 DeWitt and Piatt 4. Ihe place selected for tbe convention is much of a surprise to the members of the committee, nearly all of whom wrote the chairman several weeks ago that the meeting should be held in as this eity is the most convenient point in the district; but VanordstraEd, who is something of a general kicker, went ahead and located it at Clinton, without further consultation. Van is tbe man whom Ms- Emery beat for member of Ihe board of equalization sod he is BOW the nominee of Ihe bolting Democrats for representative in McLean county.

No ots can foretell who will be nominated by the Democrats for Congress. It doesn't make much difference who he is. The nominee will simply be a sacrifice candidate, for Capt. Roweli will snow him under 2,000 to 3,080 The committeemen believe they will soon be able to agree upon a time and place to hold tbe Democratic Senatorial convention. They have been holding off for some unknown cause, unusually long, but now that the Republicans bave selected a date they will come up smiling and protest that it was impossible for them to issue tbe call until this week.
