He Went Away to Die.

  A solemn concourse of friends awaited at the Union depot last night 
for the 8:30 train, which brought the remains of Mr. J. A. Riley from 
South Carolina.  Mr. Riley was for a number of years previous to his 
leaving the city, about six weeks ago, connected with the firm of 
Armstrong Brothers, cork manufacturers.  The deceased had suffered from 
consumption, and was advised by his physician to go to Aiken, S.C., 
where he died, last Tuesday.  The remains were taken to his late 
residence on Webster avenue.
