She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Erastus GOODRICH of DeKalb and Mrs. T. MERSEREAU of Union. Mrs. Franklin C. CORNELL died at 5 o'clock Sunday evening, of apoplexy resulting from cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. CORNELL was prostrated on the preceding Wednesday, when she became unconscious and remained in that condition until death supervened. The intelligence of her critical illness was received throughout the community with expressions of deep and sincere regret and all who know her hoped to the very last that the hand of death might be stayed. The family physicians were at the residence of their patient almost continuously from the first and all that could be done was put forth to save her to her family and friends. By science was all of no avail. The deceased was the daughter of the late John PETTIGROVE of Owego. She became the wife of Mr. F. C. CORNELL about thirty years ago, since which every event they have occupied the same house and maintained continuous residence in Ithaca. The deceased had come to be well known and esteemed for all the qualities that make up the noble wife and devoted mother. The family circle thus broken was one closely united. Mrs. Cornell is survived by her husband, two sons and two daughters. - Ithaca Journal. SOLD WELL AT AUCTION. At 2 p. m. Monday Cashier E. O.
