THE LUCAN TRAGEDY.
FaneraI of the victims-scene at the
Church.

Funeral OF the Victims-Scene mt the
Church.
LucAN, 0ST, February G.-The funeral
OF the murdered Donnelly family took
place this morning from the house OF Mi.
chael Connors, whittier the remains were
brought from the scene OF the tragedy. 1t
was attended by men, women and children
from the surrounding country, which
would indicate that the family had more
friends and sympathizers than was at first
supposed. The assemblage numbered over
five hundred persons. All the surviving
members OF the family were present. The
pail bearers were chosen from among, the
most intimate friends and near neighbors
OF the deceased persons. The collins, con.
tanning the charred remains OF the old
folks, their son Thomas and niece Bridget,
were placed on a sleigh, while that con-
tanning the body Of John was put in q
hearse. It was rumored yesterday that
the interments were to be made at
the Episcopal cemetery, but this proved
to be mistake. The cortege. which was
fully half mile long, proceeded to the
Roman Catholic Church, about mile and
half from Lucan. Father Connolly was
in waiting at the church and led the way
up the aisle to the front Of the Chancel,
where the collins were rested. The peo.
Pile nocked in afterwards, filling the
church. The priest then commenced the
burial service, which was solemn and
impressive He was attended by several
acolytes bearing lighted candles and
cruciix. After prayers and holy sacra.
ment, the priest in low tones began to
address the congregation. He spoke for
more than half an hour Of the dreadful
occurrence that had brought them to:
gether and frequently burst into sobs and
tears painful to witness. This afternoon
the funeral had occupied the public mind,
and now the scene in the church and the
words OF Father Connolly are in every
body's mouth.

skull Crushed in a Dispute over Finger
Ring.

PARKRRsDuRd, W. Va, February g.
Last evening William Davis went into a
barber shop and demanded Of John Halle
wood ring he had pawned, which de-
mand was refused without payment of the
money advanced. Davis repeated the de-
mand for the ring, this time placing a re-
volver against Hazlewood's breast, when
the latter stepped aside, saying he had
not the ring about him: Davis fired, but
as he did SO Hazlewood knocked the pistol
aside, and the bullet entered the floor.
Hazlewood fled to the bathroom, Davis
following, and swearing that he would
kill him, but as he opened the door, and
before he could fire, Hazlewood struck him
on the head with an iron bar used as a
poker, crushing in the skull like an egg
shell. Davis was carried insensible to his
hotel. The physicians say he will die.
Hazlewood quietly surrendered himself,
and will probably be discharged on the
ground that he acted in self.defense.

NEGRO EXODUS INVESTIGATION.
The Senate Exodus Committee held a
long session to-day, and examined nine
witnesses. Most Of the evidence brought
out was corroborative OF previous evidence
by other witnesses. James Buchanan, OF
indianapolis, a prominent Greenback er
and q member Of the National party OF In
diana, was examined. BE said that the
demand for labor in the State of Indiana
ia far short OF supply; that never since
1878 had winter passed that the super
yisors OF the Poor in the vicinity OF In
dianapolis were not called on to supply
food to able bodied men, who would be
glad TO earn living II they could only get
work. He was opposed to the exodus. He
believed the negroes were not improving
their condition by coming to state al
ready over-supplied with labor. lie was
not moved to hold this view because oil
any prejudice against the black race. lie
had been an Abolitionist until slavery was
abolished, and Republican until lSI2.
With reference to the Indiana RepuDli.
cans favoring this exodus, he believed
that nine out Of ten Republican voters
we're opposed to 1t; but half dozen lead
ers, whom he knew in Indiana, while
they did not openly favor 1t, failed to con-
denim the bringing Of these negroes 70 In.

there Is no work for them there. He i'm
pugned the motives OF the gentlemen by
intimating that they were willing to see Q

which was not justified by the condition
OF the labor.demand in Indiana, when their
party was likely TO be benefited by the
addition Of Republican voters.

nrrrsAL TO EXTEND A PATENT.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-seven TO
three is the vote OF the House Committee
against granting the application OF Ezra
Miller for an extension Of his car coupling
patent. The committee take the ground
that seventeen years, the length Of time
the patent has run, is the limit contem-
plated by an act Of lS60.6l, and that the
general policy OF the government is ad-
verse to extending patents beyond that
period,
