James HAYDEN, father of Policeman HAYDEN, died in Gates on Saturday, at the age
of 53 years. The event occurred very suddenly. The funeral services
were held yesterday at the Immaculate Conception Church.
ANOTHER FLAGMAN KILLED. Following fast after the death of the flagman who
was killed on Thursday at the John street crossing, another accident of the same
character happened on Friday afternoon. George L. GEIDER, flagman at
Hudson Street, while on duty at that point was run over and instantly killed by
engine 306. A train was passing at the time and he stepped on the side to
warn the driver of an approaching wagon. He did not see the engine which
was coming toward him at the same time, and by which he was struck, the wheels
passing over his head, causing instant death. Deceased resided on Holland
Street. He leaves a widow and two daughters, who are grown. He had
been employed as a watchman at the cotton factory for sixteen years and had
worked for the railroad company only a few days. Coroner MORRISON held an
inquest and a verdict was rendered.
WATER WORKS. Mr. McDONALD, the contractor, has fifty convicts from the
penitentiary and a large number of teams now engaged in the construction of the
distributing reservoir for the water works. This great basin will cover
five and one-half acres of ground, and is elevated 110 feet above the average
level of the city. It is situated near the city line, and a little east of
South Avenue. Mr. McDONALD is doing everything in his power to push the
work forward, and much evidence of his success is already apparent.

Death of Mrs. Dr. ROBINS.
Mrs. Margaret R., wife of Dr. Henry E. ROBINS, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, died last evening, after an illness of several months. The
announcement will cause feelings of the deepest pain and regret. She had
been married less than a year. Previous to her marriage she was a teacher
in the Free Academy. In all her social and religious relations she was
esteemed and beloved, and an ornament to the society in which she moved.
Her loss will be deeply felt, not only by the church society, but by her large
circle of acquaintances in this city and vicinity. The afflicted husband
will have the sympathy of all in his great bereavement. The funeral
services will take place in the First Baptist Church tomorrow afternoon.
