Nothing but Ashes, Ashes!
Special Dispatch 70 tbs Daily Inteligcucer.
WASHINGTON, October 1G.-There were
religious services at the residence Of the
late DR.. LeMoyne, this morning, suitable
to the occasion, by Rev. DR.. G. P. Hays,
in the presence Of the family and many
neighbors who had assembled. The
body, plainly coiIined, was then placed in
a hearse and hauled to the crematory on
Gallows Hill, followed by the family and
many friends, in carriages. The corpse
was carried into the reception room
at the crematory, when the people were
dismissed with the benediction. They,
the people, at once retired from the
vicinity. The family remained, and the
sons OF the deceased, after the body was
placed upon an iron crib, deposited it in
the fiery furnace, which was then closed
and allowed to do its work. The furnace
was not heated as well as it should have
been, ,andsoon after the body was deposited
coke was shoveled under the furnace
and large volumes OF smuke rolled
from the chimney, supposed by many to
be from the corpse, but this was not so
Good order prevailed throughout. There
were four policemen on the ground, but
they were of no use, there being no "im.
pudent" reporters about. The cremation
was strictly private. The members Of the
Doctors family cheerfully disposed Of the
body as he desired.
Eight o'clock, p. M.-Everything at the
crematory is as still and quiet as grave
yard. The body was entirely cremated in
little over three hours, yet few of the
bones still maintain their shape, only to
crumble to fine ashes when coming in con-
tact with the air. The retort is probably
at higher degree Of heat now than at
any time since the fire has been lighted,
the lid being red hot. The coffin in which
the body was conveyed to the crematory
was consumed this afternoon in the fur
mace. 1t was not desired that it should be
scattered broadcast as mementoes. The
ashes will not be removed until late Satur-
day afternoon. Nothing more unusual has
occurred in connection with this Crema.
ton than If it had been an ordinary
burial. There was no interruption in the
every day life Of Washington what
ever, and altogether this has been the
most quiet cremation we have had yet.

Thrilling Experience or the Passengers
ON the steamer AI0seI-The ship Burn

cent-GalIantEy Of the Captain and
Crew.
The following account, from the New
York Herald, Of the fre that occurred on
the steamship Mosel during her late pas,
sage to this country, will have a local al
well as q general interest for many Of our
readers, from the fact that Mr.. and Mrs.
Lange, Of this city, were passengers on
the vessel, and witnessed all and much
more than is described in the account
given below. They reached Wheeling
from Europe.last Saturday, and since their
arrival have been the subjects Of numer.
Gus congratulations from their friends on
their happy escape from what seemed at
one time an almost certain prospect OF
death. We quote from the Herald as
follows:
The MoseI had Just arrived at her dock
at Hoboken, and the reporters inquiries
were directed to the particulars OF the fire
on board the steamer on the Sd inst. Some
OF the passengers were still engaged in
getting their luggage ashore, and as the
Captain could not be found, and the iirst
officers mouth was closed by the orders Of
his superior, the reporter interrogated the
most intelligent looking Of those that he
could find
"He would tell you nothing, eh?" the
passenger said, eying the rubicund official.
"Well, that Is the way they treated us al
the time OF the FIRE. 1t occurred on tho Sd
inst, in the morning. About s O'Clock Il
was rumored that there was a fire on
board. There had been no announce
ment made that such was the case,
and many Of US doubted the
truth OF the report. When the
officers were questioned in regard to
It they gave evaSive answers and made
light OF the matter. When the fact could
no longer be concealed they said it was an
affair OF no consequence, and the Captain
was already attending to it. We might
have known nothing about 1t in the be.
ginning but for the noise made by the
pumps and the smoke which issued from
one OF the forward matches. It was plain
to all that there was fire in one of the
freight compartments OF the vessel, but in
spite OF the evidences oil our senses the
officers would give Us no information, The
gangways and passages, and even the
cabins were flooded with water, Even
the women who were suffering from sea.

berths.

ing 1t. This proved to be true, and the
workers were repeatedly repulsed by the

mot q word, except when the lifeboats
were made clear, and then we were told il
was only a prudential measure, We
feared, however, that the danger was
greater than the officers affected to be.
lieve-all felt instinctiyely that they
should prepare for the worst. The Ut.
most order and deCorum prevailed. There
were no wailings OF distress; no aimless
rushings to aud fro in search OF a place
OF safety; no cries even from the
many women and children on board.
This fortunate condition may have result
ed from the fact that no official signals OF
distress had as yet been given, and in that
case the action Of the officers Of the Mosel
was wise; or it may have been caused by
the feeling OF confidence the passengers
had in the capacity and extreme caution
OF Captain Naynader, qualities that have

FIGHTING THE FLAMES

THE report then came that the Captain,
amid steam and smoke, in a position
scarcely to be endured physically. and 10
the wonder and encouragement OF his
crew, was personally conducting the work
against the fire. The smoke was still poll--
ing from the hatchway forward, and some
time later brisk flame was seen to issue
from one oil the ventilators. The vessel
was turned before the wind, but still no
word OF advice or encouragement, no in
information as to our actual condition
came from the Captain himself. An onin.
GUS and unbroken silence prevailed, and
even when we spoke 10 each other our
words were uttered in whispers. Thus
matters remained for some time. bnt sud.
denly, when all were waiting anxiousiy
for some official announcement, man 4
voice, strong and clear, rang out the vel.
come words, "The Captain bids me saw
that there Is no further danger"
"This statement was received with a
hurrah that came from q hundred throats.
The announcement brought relief to many
until then sorely afflicted hearts. After
this the passengers, who, In spite oi the
falling rain, had remained on deck, grad.
ually withdrew TO their cabins, although
some doubted still the force Of the good
news. About y o'clock the Captain, ex.
hausted, his Clothing wet and torn, the
perspiration still streaming down his
weather-beaten face, appeared among the
passengers, with bundle OF black sewing
silk in his hand, and said: Ladies' and
gentlemen-The danger is past We found

The value OF advertising was never bet
ter exemplifed than at our new theater
last evening, for in the large crowd in at
tendance to witness the display of the
scenery, were the faces Of men who would
never have been there had il cost them two
bits for admission. The management
made a mistake. however. in not reserviDg
the gallery exclusively for ladies and their
escorts, as a number were obliged TO take
uncomfortable seats below. Barring the
the d~rop-curtain, which looks as though it
were made Of damaged goods, and in
which every seam is plainly visible, no
fault can be found with the scenery by any
acknowledged critic. The panel scenes are
all good, while the mountain. street, river,
sea, prison and palace scene would have
passed muster in any metropolitan city.
All in all. the Eureka public has reason to
congratulate itself upon the thorough man
ner in which the new place Of amusement
has been completed, and owe adebt Of graf
itude TO the citizens who shouldered the
trouble and expense. After the last scene
had been displayed, q merry crowd Of
