Milwaukee road doomed.

McCLURE--The grim messenger has once more invaded the ranks of the railway fraternity, and has borne to that unknown shore the soul of one who in life was loved and respected by everyone who had ever known him. J.E. McClure was a man among men, and those same qualities which made him so valuable to the passenger department of the Milwaukee road, made him a host of friends throughout the land who were deeply grieved by his untimely end. We liken his death to the setting of the sun at midday when its glorious rays are always brightest. The future held for him great possibilities as his reward for faithful and honorable service. In his death the Milwaukee lost an able representative, the people a faithful servant, the fraternity a Pythias, and wife and daughter a kind husband and father. We extend through the columns of The News-Reporter our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.--Railway News-Reporter.
