JUDGE JAMES RAYBURN Dies at His Home Southeast of the City After an Illness of Several Week's Duration. After Living in Two Centuries He Dies at the Age of Eighty Three Years, Four Months and Eleven Days -At half-past four yesterday morning, Judge James Rayburn, one of the oldest and most respected of McLean county's pioneers, quietly passed from this earth while sur rounded by his relatives and friends at his home in Old Town township, about six miles southeast of the elty.

His confinement had only lasted about three weeks before his death, although be bad been failing for a number of months. His death was probably hastened by an acci. dent which befell him on last Tuesday while standing by the side of the bed, leaning most of his weight on the back of a chair, when suddenly the bone of his right thigh broke, as were, by the simple weight of his own body. Since then he kept rapidly sinking until time of his death, which occurred while be was surrounded by his children. Mr.

Rayburn was born in Mason county, where he lived until he was four years old, when he moved with his parents to Rose county, Ohio. His next home was in Madison county, Ohio, where he moved in 1829, and where he remained 22 years, coming to McLean county, on the 17th day of Oe. tober, 1851. He immediately purchased a farm in Old Town, where he has resided ever since He was a zealous member of the Presby. terian church, having Joined that church previous to 1829, and at the time of his death being all elder in the First Presbyterian church of this city, to which office he was elected in 1851.

The deceased was member of the Ohio Legislature in the years 1850 and 1851, and in May, 1851. was a delegate to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church at 8t. Louis, Mo He WAS associate justice of the court of common pleas of Madison county, for a number of years. He was married at Chillicothe, on Sept, 24,1816, to Miss J. McCoy.

Their married life extended over a period of sixty years, her death occurring on August 15, 1876 During those years of married life, ten children were sent to them, of whom the following are now living, and will be present at the funeral: John M. lives at Kansas City, David C. resides near Towanda, this county; William resides on the home place, Margaret, wife of Cyrus Jones, near Towanda; and Martha, wife of J. B. Shough, of Kansas City; James Rayburn, died in November, 1880; Joseph one of the first to enlist in the army, in this city, was drowned in the Mississippi river, August, 1862.

The funeral services will be held at the residence, six miles southeast of the city, to day, at half-past twelve, Dr. Levi Crawford officiating. SELLS' SECESSION.

What the Sage of Pale Has to Say About the Recent Greenback Seance. -Mr. Joshua dells, the Sage of Dale, quite warm yesterday when he stopped PANTAGRAPHER on the street and wanted know if it was Dr. Alphabet Smith that stated to this paper that the Greenback leged corrention of Wednesday had passed the Prohibition as well as the resolutions. The preamble and resolutions ferred to are as tollows: WHEREAS, Our convention at Peoria, as a step, dee ared in lavor of submitting the querton to the people, thus placing the Greenback: party on record as the only party in favor of mitting the question; and, WHEREAS, A law or constitutional amendment, if of po itical import, must have a party behind to insure its enforcement.

Resolved, That ware not only in favor of submission of the Prohibition amendment to people, bat are in favor ot the doctrine of Prohibition party. In reply to Mr. Sells, the reporter said: "Yes, sir; Dr. Smith was the man." "Well," said Mr. Sells, "Dr.

Smith m'srepresented the action of the convention, I ought to know it, for I was its chairman. The preamble Was not adopted. The simple resolution was offered as a substitute for the whole business, and was adopted as such." "How about your withdrawal from the party "I didn't withdraw from the party," said Mr. Sells; merely pulled out of the sideshow to the party that the convention was constructing. Ten of us pulled out when the prohibition business was tacked on.

We are Greenbackers 18 much ever, but don't propose to follow such men As Smith and the others that to turn the whole thing into a Prouibition farce. We, every one of 119, are willing to stand by the Peoria platform, and that, does not take 118 over to Prohibition." "What are the political antecedents of the "Every one of them are originally Repub. licans, except Captain Hickey, who used to be a Democrat." "What do you know. Sells, about the probable action of the Greenbackers regarding a candidate for Congress! "I know that we bolters won't support Harts. What the rest of them may do cannot certainly say, but I feel satisfied that no action regarding Congressman will te taken by the Greenback party of McLean county.

The adherents of Greenbackism will be left free to exercise their as preferences between gentlemen that may be noDIinated by the other parties."
