The closing scenes in the calamity of
Monday took place yesterday, and are noted
in detail below:
Mrs. James Dore and Retfse Dore.
The last sad rites over two of the victims
to the shocking disaster at White Bear lake
last Monday afternoon, took place yesterday
in the presence of multitude of mourners
and friends. The funeral of Mrs. James
Dore and Miss Nellie Dore took place at st.
Mary's church, corner of Ninth and Locust
streets, at O'Clock yesterday morning. The
cortege left the late residence of the de-
ceased on De Bow street and by the time
the remains had reached the church there
was not foot of available standing room
left.
The ceremonies were solemn and Impress
i've in the extreme. Those in the church
were made to witness scene of grief, while
quite natural, was but little dreamed of. On
entering the church the bsreaved husband
and brother gave vent to his grief in the
most piteous lamentations. He wept inces-
sanity throughout the service, which was fire.
quently interrupted by the most sorrowful
wailings. AT times he would break forth
into hysterical cries and his friends were
compelled to hold him down during most of
the service. 1t is feared, indeed, that his
reason will stagger under the crushing se-
verify of the blow.
The service consisted of high requiem
mass for the dead. following which an elf
oquent sermon was preached by the Rev.
Father Daily. The reverend speaker advert
ed in pathetic terms to the suddenness an.
frightful character of the calamity, and a
feeling tribute was paid to the characters of
the deceased.
The funeral cortege was about the largest
ever seen in st. Paul. Several we'll known
citizens oficiated as pail bearers for Mrs.
Dore, and the casket of Miss Nellie Dore was
carried by several young men.
The pail bearers were as follows
MRS. DoRE.
Messrs. P. Brady, j. Cokley, John Bell, VIM.
McTague, James McNally and John Horrigan.
MISS NELLIE DoRE.
Chas. Smith, Michael Corran, Louis Cavitzel,
F. Rourke, J. McGounigel and John Mallory.
The remains were borne to the Catholic
cemetry, and as the remains were being
lowered the husband and brother uttered a
loud lamentation and tainted away. He was
borne to the carriaye. and there was not q
dry eye among those in attendance.
The Gibson Family.
OF this unfortunate family, every member
of which perished by the dread calamity of
last Monday, there is nothing additional to
state aside from the scene attending their
removal from the city last evening. The
father of Mr.. Gibson and the brother of Mrs.
Gibson, Mr.. Theodore Taylor, arrived in St.
Paul on the early train yesterday morning
from Terre Haute, Indiana. They repaired
to the once happy but now desolate house
hold of the family, No. IS De Bow street,
whittier had been removed the bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. Gibson aud their two children. =
The relatives of the family were almost
prostrated with grief, and the scene at the
house is not susceptible of adequate descrip-
ton.
In this connection too much praise cannot
be awarded the neighbors Of the family for
their kindly efforts in arranging for the re-
ception Of the father and brother.
Under the circumstances, everything was
done to make their painful visit as pleasant
as possible. Among those who were most
active in this direction, were the members of
Mr.. Joseph Steel's family, the next door
neiShbors of the deceased, Mr.. Steele also
being the foreman of the shops where Mr..
Gibson was employed.
1t was decided to take the bodies east on the
sos o'clock train over the river road, and
IN the afternoon the remains of Mr. and Mrs.
Gibson were conveyed to the undertaking es-
tablishment of M ssrs. Mccarthy & Donnel-
ly, on Wabashaw street.
At o'clock the bodies were conveyed
from the store of the latter to the depot and
more touching or imposing demonstra-
tion than that witnessed could hardly be
imagined.
The mechanics at the st. Paul & Manitoba
railroad shops, where deceased was employed,
quit work at o'clock in order to attend the
funeral in body. They turned out about
200 strong, and forming at the late residence
of the family, they marched to Messrs. Nc
Carthy & Donnelly's store, Wabashaw street,
where large number of citizens had as
sembled to obtain a last view of the remains.
The Ice boxes containing the four caskets
were carried to wagons in waiting, which
took positions at the head of the procession.
The following gentlemen acted as pail
bearers:
W.B Baker, W. q. Wilson, N, Spicer, A.
Haritie, W. lidell, q. Corey, ]. Hulding, 0.
Crosby, b. F. Rugan, T. F. Tellerher, q. A.
Carey, r. H. Bowman, j. B. Friedman, G.
W. Sayony, M. II. Gerry, J. J. Murphy, H.
Potter.
The sad eortage then took up the line of
march for the depot where the remains were
taken in charge by the relatives of deceased.
Great praise is due Messrs. MCCARTHY & Don
nelly for the efficient manner In which they
have discharged the important duties since
the recovery of the remains.
