DR. KIRKWOOD DEAD

Th e Eminent Educator Died Yesterday at His California Home, Dr. Wylie and Dr. Kirkwood Passed Away the Same Week. A useful life ended. Dr Daniel Kirkwood is dead, and the news will be received with universal sorrow, not only neie wiiere mwas an honored citizen for many years, but over the entire world "that know the worth of Daniel Kirkwood, during his life. No man living today was considered a greater, or more efficient scholar in astronomy than was Dr Kirkwood. He devoted his life to the study of astronomy and was often consulted on the subject by neraons from many parts of the globe on perplexing questions. He was considered the strongest man the University of Indiana ever honored with the name of Professor. He was the peer of mathematicians and his world-wide reputation speaks for his life's work. The citizens of Bloomington loved and cherished the vererable astronomer and were loathe to part with him, when he moved to Riverside, Cal., and where he peacefully passed down the dark valley of death yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. The message of death was received by Judge R W Miersat noon yesterday from John W Cravens, Dr Kirkwood's nephew at Riverside. The telegram further stated that the remains would be forwarded today, and they are expected to arrive here not later than Sunday morning. Judge Miers will complete the arrangements for the fun eral today. The body will he in state in the audience room of tinWalnut Street Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, so that all the citizens may have an opportunity of once more looking upon the face of their former fellow towns man and friend. The funeral services will take place from the same edifice at 5:80 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Mid the services will be in charge o! :tev. Al lison. The faculty will also he represented by probably Dr swain or Judge D 1) Banta. The faculty will also attend in a body. The new college building recent ly erected was named in honor of the dead Astronomer and was but a fitting tribute to Daniel Kirkwood. Coining so soon after the death of Dr Wylie, a co-worker in the University, has cast a gloom over the citizens who loved and honored both, and will continue to cherish the names of Kirdwood and Wylie. The remains will be interred in the family lot at beautiful Rose Hill cemetery by the side of his wife, to whose welfare and comfort he devoted his life. He never fully recovered from the shock caused by her death, and he in a few short years followed, a victim of paralysis. Daniel Kirkwood was born in Hartford County, Maryland, September 27,1814. His earlv education was limited. In 1834 he attended an academy at York, Pa., and afterward became a teacher in the same institution. In 1841 he was chosen

Principal of the High school, of which John W.Forney and Thaddeus Stephens were directors Afterward he moved to Lancaster, Pa. and took charge of the Lancaster High school. In 1831) he was principal of the Pottsville Academy. While in this place his ''Annlogy in the Periods of Rotation of the Primary Plants," was first published in Silliman's Jour

nal of Science, and brought into the notice by Prof. Sears C. Walk er an astronomer of some distinc tion, to whom Prof; Kirkwood had communicated in a letter. This ingenious analogy, derived from La Place's nebular theory, both in country and in Europe. In I8o1 Prof. Kirkwood was chosen President of Delaware College, Newark, Del. In lfC lie was chosen Prof, of Mathematics in Indiana State University, which position he occupied until IMG, with the exception of about two years during which he filled the chair of Mathematics and Astronomy in Canonsburg, Pa. In 1851 he was made aj member of the American Philo sophical society. The degree of A. M. was conferred ou him by Washington College, Pa., and L L. 1). bv the Uriversity of Pennsylvania. ! Dr. Kirkwood was author of the article on "Astronomy" fin the annual supplements of Appletoivs Cyclopedia, in which tne progress of astronomy from year to year is given. In l-SSb' Dr. Kirkwood resigned his Professorship having been connected with Indiana Uniuersity nearly thirty years, and received from it the honorary title of Emeritus Professor1 Dr. Kirkwood married Miss Sarah J M Nair, of Newton, Pa. They moven to Riverside, California, October, 1881). Mrs. Kirkwood died four years ago and was brought here for burial. LAST SAD RITES. Jr. A, Wylie fcaltl to Kosl Itetintiful Koxe II ill The funeral of Dr. T. A. Wylie occurred at the Walnut Street Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. The large audience room was crowded with friends of the deceased and the sorrowing relatives. Rev. M. G. Allison conducted the service and delivered an eloquent sermon. At times Rev. Allison's remarks brought tears to the eyes of his hearers as he paid a glowing 'tribute to one of "God's faithful servants." He read from the book of Hebrews, eleventh chapter. He also referred to the number of times that Dr. Wylio had sto d in the sane pulpit, nd taught God's word and commands to his hearers, many of whom were there today to pay their respect to the man thev all honored and respected in life and cherished after death. He spoke words of consolation to the bereaved wife, the daughter, the son and gtvmd-ch ldren, who would look today for the last time upon that beloved face. "Be of good cheer, though sorely tried, for he is with God the Father." In another column appears the adj vertisemeut for attorney W. II. East. Read it, and when wanting anothing in his line give him a call. He will treat you right. William V. Payne, of the University states that he has been offered the presidency of the University at Eminence, Ivy, a school in which eleven prol'e( sors are employed.
