ing, but up to noon to-day the indications
were that such would not be the case.
Mayor Johnston was also summoned to
appear, but it seems the summons re-
mained unheeded.
About 8 o'clock this morning scat
tered crowd of laboring men, numbering
in all about 800, were observed standing
around the different corners of the Es-
planade, and, upon inquiry, many of
them were ignorant ofthe object Of the
meeting, and stated that they had come
merely in answer to summons through
one OF the German dailes OF this city.
One of them who seemed to be more
enthusiastic than the others was inter-
viewed by reporter OF The STAR, and
stated that the purpose OF the meeting
had been to consult among themselves
and inquire into the most effective means
Of obtaining employment, He also init
mated that their speaker, whose name
was unknown, had issued this summons,
but as yet had not put in an appearance.
A number of laboring men apparently
strangers to the city were also present.

ness to convey them to the Engine
house. The services will be conducted
by Rev. II. ID. Moore, or the Central
Christian Church. Allfriends Of the de-
ceased and his family are invited to be
present.
Probably no case of this kind has been
productive OF SO much genuine feeling
and universal sympathy as has that OF
Holcomb, one of the braveSt and most
reliable firemen that Cincinnati has
ever had. Always promptly on hand at
the call OF duty, and always to be found
when most needed, no matter how great
the danger. "Happy D;ok" won the re-
spect and honor of everyone who knew
him, and his loss as fireman and q CON-
panion is to-day mourned by hundreds
Of fond hearts all over the city.
His frequently expressed wish to die
at his post in discharge Of duty as men,
ber of the finest fire department in the
world, was but too soon and. truly real
lied, and Cincinnati may well mourn the
loss Of tried and trustworthy defender
in an hour OF danger.
10 his two daughters who survive him
and the other relatives and intimate
friends, the heartfelt sympathy OF all will
be rendered in this the hour OF their sore
afiiiction. s
