ed in the Gazette OF that day, and verdict
rendered that she came to her death from in-
fammation of the lungs The deceased was

SPEECH FROM GENERAL HANCOCK.-At

"Comrades Of the Army OF the Poto-

occasion OF the seventh annual rcGnion Of
our Society, to renew and cement friend-
ships formed on the field Of battle, to IN

comrades in distress, or the widows and
orphans OF deceased comrades who may re-
owe have no other purpose in meeting
here. Here politics enter not, either to dis
tract or disturb. We meet simply as broth
ers who are linked together in affection
through memories Of the past; by common
dangers incurred, glories gained, privations
suffered, and hardships endured; and am
thankful that am permitted to be present
with YOU, and that the privilege OF calling
to order this meeting Of my old comrades
devolres upon me.
"But before proceeding with the exer-
cises OF this occasion it is proper that we
should return thanks to, Almighty God for
His goodness in permitting us to be here
and in health to-day, and to ask that His
blessing may rest upon US all. ,..,

SUSPENDED ANINATTON-SINGULAR INTER-
RUPTIOS TO THE OBSEoUIES OF A LADY
Tuesday singular affair occurred at No. 116
St. Paul street. Baltimore. Mrs. Eliza Ann
Close died suddenly ON Sunday last. Her
remains were prepared for burial and placed
in casket for interment. Tuesday after
noon large number OF relatives and friends
of the deceased had gathered at the house
to attend the funeral. Some lady friends,
in taking their last farewell Of the remains,
noticed that the corpse had changed color
and the hues OF life had taken the place OF
the pallor OF death. They at once supposed
that life was not extinct, and the funeral was
at once postponed and several physicians
were sent for by the family after the per-
sons who had assembled to pay the last token
of respect to the deceased had departed.
The physicians after an examination decided
that the lady was actually dead, and that the
change in the appearance OF the features
was no unusual occurrence. The family
still remained unsatisfed, for it was difficult
| to believe from the appearance OF the fea-
lures OF Mrs. Close that she was really dead,
and ''the wish was father to the thought"
so other physicians were sent for last night,
all OF whom agreed that life was extinct.
The postponed funeral will probably take
| place to-day or to-morroW.-Gaz

DANIEL FERRY,

Mr.. STEWARDS UNFINISHED PROJECTS
The various charitable and other projects
conceived and partially executed by the late
A. T. Stewart are being pushed forward to
completion with considerable energy. A
large force of men is at work daily at the
Woman's Home at Fourth avenue and Thir-
ty.second street. This large edifice, which
will contain five hundred rooms-the same
number as the Windsor Hotel-will be sup
piled with two grand staircases OF iron,
which are now being erected, and with
three steam elevators. The contracts for
completing and furnishing the Home are
being made. Between 100000 and 81 ,000,-
900 will be required to finish the Home,
which will be made ready for occupancy as
soon as possible, probably within year or
eighteen months. Work is being pushed
forward at Garden City, also on the new
carpet factory Mt Glenham, and the addi-
lions to the Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispateh.l
JUNE 7, 1876.
The City Council has purchased the gas
works for the sum Of $40, 900, subject to the
ratification Of the people, which will proba-
bly, lie done on the 3Uth instant. They pro-
pose to reduce the price from $3.50, rs now
CHARGED. TO 500 per 1000 feet, and even
lower: which we think will be likely, rs the
increase in consumption and the saving OF
expense in lighting the streets will enable
them TO put the price TO . nominal figure
and realize Il handsome revenue for the
town.
