Death of Mr. William Warrington.
Mr. Wm. Warrington, Manager of the Atlantic Hotel, Ocean City, died at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, from paralysis of the heart. He was 66 years of age. Mr. Warrington ate a hearty dinner and while at the table remarked that his children were all there except Allie, who is in Norfolk, Va. To several of his friends who saw him and spoke to him about 1 o'clock he expressed himself as feeling better.
About two weeks ago on an extremely hot day while out assisting Mr. D. C. Hudson, of Berlin, do some surveying, he was taken with sun stroke and paralysis. The muscles of his face becoming pinched and drawn up.
He retired to his room about half-past two o'clock, for a little rest. A little later his medicine was tak[e]n up to him, which he took, sitting on the bed. It is thought he died a few moments afterward, as he was found in such a position to indicate this.
Mr. Warrington has been connected with business in Ocean Oity [sic] for several years: As manager of the Atlantic Hotel, running the Colonial this summer. He also, in connection with his sons, Messrs. Albert Warrington and William Warrington, Jr., owned and managed the Atlantic Casino.
For a number of years previous to going to Ocean City, Mr. [Warrin]gton was a resident of [Berlin,] making a large circle of [fri]ends here, while he had no enemies.
The building of the Presbyterian Church at Ocean City was a favorite desire of the deceased. For years he had labored with this end in view, which saw its successful accomplishment this summer. When the church was dedicated there were no nebts [sic] on it; all had been paid. Mr. Warrington remarked to his son, Wm. Warrington, Jr., last summer that, although they then only had $150 toward building it, yet he expected to see its completion before his death, but that he did not expect to live long afterwards to enjoy its benefits. The people of Ocean City will get the benefit of his care and foresight, and live to appreciate the good moral atmosphere cast by it.
Funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian Church at Ocean City, at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, by Rev. William Swan, of Snow Hill. From there he will be carried by special car to Berlin and buried in Buckingham Cemetery. Relatives and friends from here can go down to Ocean City at 12:50 and return at 3 o'clock on the [s]pecial.

SUDDEN DEATH.
William A. Warrington Died of Heart Paralysis.
A special dispatch from Ccean [sic] City to The Sun Wednesday evening announced the death of Mr. William A. Warrington, of Ocean City, well known to nearly every reader of the Messenger [(?) Snow Hill Democratic Messenger]. The dispatch says:
All Ocean City was startled about 4 o'clock this afternoon by the announcement of the sudden death of William Warrington, Sr., manager of the Atlantic Hotel, who had been sick for nearly two weeks from the effects of a slight sunstroke while out with an engineer locating some street and lot lines. Mr. Warrington seemingly enjoyed dinner with his family about 2 o'clock. Then he went in his room, saying he would lie down for a while. About 4 o'clock his son William, had occasion to go to the room, and found it locked. Receiving no reply from his father he became alarmed. The room was opened, however, by the son, who was startled by seeing his father stretched upon the bed lifeless. Dr. Paul Jones, who had been attending Mr. Warrington, was hastily summoned and examined the remains, pronouncing death from paralysis of the heart. The doctor said that Mr. Warrington probably had expired about an hour before the discovery was made by the son. Everyone here seemed to sadly feel the shock, for Mr. Warrington was a man beloved by all who knew him. He had been identified with Ocean City for many years in various ways, and will be greatly missed. He was in his sixty-sixth year, and leaves a widow, two daughters and two sons, all of whom are here except for the oldest son, a resident of Norfolk, Va.
A letter from a resident of Ocean City to the Messenger [(?) Snow Hill Democratic Messenger] says of him: A better husband, parent and friend never lived. Ocean City has lost one of its best citizens. Kind hearted and willing was he at all times. While we mourn his death and deeply sympathize with his family we can but rejoice that he is resting with his blessed Redeemer. The funeral will take place on the 10th inst. from the new Chapel which he labored for and loved so well; the interment will be at the Presbyterian Cemetry [sic] in Berlin, Md.

ONLY A MEMORY.
BY MARY ELLA CORNELL
Only a memory left to me
Of days that are past and gone,
Naught can I hold but a memory
Till the judgment-day shall dawn.
Fondly I gaze on the pictured face,
The face that I've loved for years,
Tenderly ev'ry loved feature trace,
Till my eyes are dimmed by tears.
Ah, surely the saddest words of all
That fall from the lips of men,
I murmur unto my anguished soul,
And tell it--"Never again."
Never again shall I hear the tones
Of the voice to me so sweet;
"Never again," my spirit moans,
"Till we meet at Jesus' feet."
Long are the days, and the weeks seem drear,
And months drag their weary round,
All I can find when I seek my love
Is a narrow earth-heaped mound.
Those hands I shall never clasp in mine,
Those lips I shall never kiss,
Oh, the loving words for which I pine,
The tones I shall ever miss.
Only a memory left to me
Of days that are past and gone,
Naught can I hold but a memory
Till the judgment-day shall dawn.
