THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE HENRY
F. RICE.

The Right Reverend Bishop Whitaker, as
sisted by Rev H. L. Foote, Rector of this
Parish, conducted the funeral services yester-
day, over the mortal remains of our lamented
fellow citizen, the late Henry F. Rice, Presi-
dent of the Town Council of Carson City.
We have seldom seen so numerous an attend
ance. Gentlemen and ladies from Storey,
Washoe and Douglas counties came in very
considerable numbers. About o'clock, the
coffin, preceded by the Bishop and Rector,
the former reciting the service for the dead,
entered the south aisle of the church and pro-
by pail bearers selected from the ranks of the
attendant Masons, the deceased being of that
order. The church was filled as was also the
Sunday school room. Many, being unable to
get even standing room in the church re-
manned in the yard. The choir was composed
of three male voices, Messrs. Laughton, Ma
son and Scoville. Miss Frances Hodgkinson
presided at the organ. The services closed by
singing the Hymn beginning with the words,
"When | can read my title clear" This
hymn was sung TO Ine MaSlC ColipoSeo ny
Professor Passmore for the funeral of the
late Chas. E. belong This dirge was sung
with much solemnity of tone and effect. The
altar was appropriately draped in black with
immortelles of evergreen, and with flowers.
In all respects the services were exceedingly
impressive. Among the bodies of men in at
tendance were thirty-eight employees of the
Mint, including Superintendent Crawford and
other officers The Masons were largely rep
resented. The cortege was very long and
contained great number of private and pub
lie carriages. The Town Council was in at
tendance, also the State officers and many
members of the Bar of Ormsby and Storey
counties The attendance of ladies was very
large. Many Pioneers were observable in the
throng. At the grave the solemn ceremonies
of the Episcopal church were observed And
thus is laid in the earth all that is perishable
of a man whose character, whose work and
whose sense of duty as citizen and a public
servant are fit subjects of emphatic approval |
and private emulation. Our dead neighbor |
deserves well of his remaining townsmen;
and the spot where he is laid should be marked |
for future honors.

At special meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of Carson, held on the 28th instant, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS, We his official associates, are
left to mourn the death of the President of
this body, Hon. Fl. F. Rice, now be it
RESOLVED, That the bereavement thus

orable, trusted and useful members is taken
away. We mourn the death of a man whose
wisdom, honesty of purpose and executive

voted to the private business with whose
conduct he was intrusted of a man whose
industry and sagacious management were in
valuable aids in the formation of Ormsby
county and the administration of its earlier
affairs, of a man whose superior qualifca
tions were made available in the construction
and original organization of the United States
Mint in this city and of one who, ever
since the incorporation of our Town Govern
ment, has been called, by the almost unani
nous voice of his fellow citizens, to mem
bership of this Board.
RESOLVED, That we offer our heartiest
sympathy to the wife, son and relatives who
by this mournful visitation are bereft of
kind and indulgent husband, father and
friend.
RESOLVED, That the members and officers
of this Board attend the funeral in body;
that these Resolutions be spread upon the
minutes and that a copy of the same be
transmitted to the widow of our deceased as
sociate. d. A. BENDER,

DISTINGUISHED PARSONAGE - The great
Piute chief, Winnemucca the big Injun passed
through yesterday morning for Virginia, to
consult with, well, anyone his majesty pleas
eth, on the state and condition of the tribe, or
any other subject. He was arrayed, as has
been previously announced by the papers on
the line of the C, P R, r., in his full and
complete uniform, presented by, we forget the
donor, but he looked gorgeous and more like
a commanding officer than Governor Mcclellan
of New Jersey, whom We have gazed upon in
full regimentals. He (Winnemucca not Nc
Clellan), was attended by his staff, that is to
say Natchez, and the entire force presented
stunning and martial appearance.

FIRE ALARM.

Last evening between s and 9 o'clock the
emotional person went rushing across Capitol
Square bawling out Fire, fire, fire at the
lower end of town. Well, there was bonfire
in the street thereaway, but nothing more
serious. The engines came out and the hose
cart, and the street was very much alive. 1t
only took few minutes to show that there
was no need of the engines and so the hose
carts were reeled home and the hand ma
chimes were speedily housed. The Swift
stopped at the King street cistern and
steamed up for about five minutes, and all
was over
