the failure of the police to retake him. Tweed
must be retaken, or American justice will be
the laughing stock of the world. His escape
was precisely similar to that of Harry Genets.
He was driven to his house hy Deputy
Sheriff, asked permission to see his wife, left
the deputy cooling his heels in the parlor,
and walked off, too safe to run.
The World intimates its belief that the
custodians of Tweed conniyed at his
escape, and says it is probable that they
have been stipendiarics of the prisoner for
mouths, granting him, for consideration,
those favors which are always for sale at a
debtors prison. Whether captured or not,
his property will serve to satisfy the judg
ments against him in the suits to recover the
pluuder taken from the city. The WorMsays

liable to a fine of 81, COO and one years i'm

not forthcoming they will be apt to get the
full benefit Of the law.

OF Tweed. Police Commissioner Matsell has
no theory in regard to the escape, but said
emphatically that in his opinion there was
collusion somewhere. Supt. Walling at a late
hour this evening stated that thus far not the
slightest clew had been obtained by him
which might put him on the track of the fugi-
tive, as the police were unable to find any
person who saw the coach which is supposed
to have carried Tweed off, or the driver Of the
coach, who had been left at his residence by
the SLeritl's officers. The Sherlfis deputies

The police are still of opinion that Tweed
passed out of the front basement door and
was taken to Sixticth street and East River,
where he embarked in a small steam vessel.

to the present wants of our Order:
~ the closing scenes OF this long and labo-
riOus session approach, as the memories of pre-
vious sessions and the many glorious achieve

to the future. We arc deeply impressed with the
truth that we must at all times preserve vital
spirit of fraternity between Oranges and indi-
ydual members of this Order to best maintain its
igor, success and perpetuity. This and the nature
of our solemn obligations should ever be borne in
mind. We have promised TO aid and not injurc

one of Us rs Is our own. Harshucss has no place
in the principles of our Order. Its mission Is one
of peace, gcntlcness and goodwil Therefore,
in the discussion or application OF our principles,
We hold that all aspcrity and violence are out OF
place and should ever be avoided by our members
We also hold that the Interpretation of any law
of our Order which works NANTES: injustice

their words and actions.

Burial of the Late Nice-PreSideut
Wilson.

The closing funeral rites took place at
Natick on the 1st, and notwithstanding
the severe cold weather there was a large
attendance.
At the conclusion of tie private service
at his late residence, whittier the body had
been removed the previous day, the re-
mains were taken to the Town Hall, where
the final ceremonies were to take place.
A special train had arrived from Boston
bearing the Governor and portion of
his staff and several members Of the
Executive Council, a committee of the
Boston city government, the Hon.
Marshall Wilder, Congressman Henry
Pierce, and officers Of the Fifth Maryland
Regiment and of the Independent Corps
of Cadets; also the Boston Fusileers, who
volunteered as the escort for the day.
The Rev Francis NJ Pcloubet Mr.,
Wilson's pastor, opened the services atthe
hall by reading the hymn: God is our
Strength beginning with the words,
" Man in his weakness needs Il stronger
stay than his tellow-men, the holiest and
the best" which was sung by the Alpine
Quartet, of Boston.
Following this was an invocation by the
Rev A +. Reynolds, and SCripture-read-
ing by the Rev. J. S. WhecdOn, to which
the response abide with me" was sung
by the quartet.
The address was delivered by the Rev,
Edmund Douse, of Sherburne, who main
" touched on his intimate personal friend
ship with the deceased and the great quail
tiles of the latter as displayed in the midst
of the people who had known and were
intimate with him from his youth.
The quartet then chantcd a poem writ
ten for the occasion.
An address by the Rev. F. NJ. Peloubct
followed, consisting of personal rcminis-
ccnccs of Mr.. Wilson. The hymn,
q Nearer my God, TO Thee" which was
an especial favorite with Mr.. Wilson, and
in singing which the entire audience
joined, was given with great effect.
The procession formed in line of march
embracing nearly every street in the town.
1t was not until four O'Clock that the
hcarse bearing the remains reached the
grave in Dell Park Cemetery. The cas-
kct was transferred from the hcarsc
and conveyed to the side of the open
grave ready to receive it. The Grand
Army post formed square about the
grave, while the military escort were
drawn up in line in the driveway. The
mourners and invited guests having as
sembled in body, the band meanwhile
playing solemn dirge, the casket was
gently lowered to its final rcsting-placc.

And the shuddcring north wind carries

With that heap of snowy wool | watched

With the lamplght falling on your cloudy

On the silken knot of rose you used to wear,
On the thoughtful little face l love so

You remember, when aloud read to you,
Sometimes silence interyened. You would

But in your radiant cheek the bushes grew;
For you knew l paused to gaze at you, my
