        SUFFOLK MATTERS. 

  The funeral of James R. Baker was largely attended yesterday evening.  The 
Christian Church was crowded with friends and acquaintances and the different 
orders of which he was a member.  The uniformed rank K. of P. turned out for 
the first time.  Rev. W.W. Staley delivered the funeral sermon.  The remains 
were interred at Cedar Hill Cemetery, a large number following it to the 
grave.

    'SUFFOLK LETTER'. 

  Washington Square received a shock last Monday morning in the death of James 
R. Baker.  He had been the leading merchant here for eight years, though only 
thirty-five.  He died intestate and hence the store is closed, to take stock 
and to arrange for the final settlement of his estate.  He was buried on 
Tuesday afternoon, from the Christian church of which he was a member.
