a I.ItfIa Frn Mon and Than


At an early hour last evening the
thrOnged condition of the streets evinced
the fact that there was no small degree
of interest felt in the one-Wheeled char
lot ride announced yesterday. 1t was
especially attractive in view of the fact
that the propeller was to be political
corpse. ATT 20 the chariot was wheeled
onto Commercial street at Sixth avenue,
appropriately decorated with flags and
a banner bearing the significant in
scription, 1922 beats, to T." For
some unaccountabIe reason the
program as announced yester-
day was grossly violated but
all who saw the imposing procession
as it marched majestically down the
rocky thoroughfare will admit that the
changes made, proved TO be in accord
ance with the eternal fitness of things.
The committee decided that the military
band would be very much out of place
playing their own funeral march, since
they belong to the great soldier element
of the country and weres:borne downsin
the late "Onpleasantness." 1t was there
fore decided TO procure a set Of those
sweet toned horns which delight the
hearts of all on the morning after Santa
Claus makes his annual call, and band
of the stalwarts from Capt. Warren's
company Of light infantry was selected
instead. Although unframed as band,
they showed great familiarity
with these delightful instruments
and played in admirable harmony
with the mellow tones of Mr.. Hibben's
little bass drum which was manipulated
by the .'old man" of THE NEWS.
Judge Culver, chief marshal, performed
his part in arranging and managing the
procession as we'll as could be expected
considering the fact that he was COM
PEELED to walk the entire distance, at the
same time frequently going to the front
of the column to inspect and keep it
in line.
1t is but just to the committee ON ar
rangements to state that beautiful and
appropriate steed had been engaged for
the marshal, but the groomsman failed
to bring him in time. At half past seven
Captain Sommers planted himself firmly
in the chariot, bearing in his hand q
magnificent lantern manufactured in
China, and when the order to march was
given tremendous cheers rent the air.
Not single accident occurred during
the entire march, Notwithstanding an
immense crowd of people surrounded
the procession in the street and thronged
the walks on either side. On nearing
the railroad track double quick march
was ordered and the P, C. dashed across
the road with wonderful velocity, show
ing that he had yet some vitality left in
his system. Three rousing cheers were
proposed and given for Gen. Garfield.
Several prominent speakers should have
been heard from but they were at this
time too empty for utterance and those
who had small shipping tag in .heir
vest pockets repaired to Rice's where
they were served with genuine Garfield
oysters fattened at the expense of Gen.
Hancock. Verify little fun now and
then is relished by the best of men.

Mr.. J. D. Henry, of Wellington, Kan
sas, brother OF NJ. A. Henry, who was
murdered last week, arrived in the
city Saturday. From him we obtain
the following additional particulars in
reference to the unfortunate man and
his relatives: NJ. A. Henry was born
in Robinson county, Tennessee in 1855,
and was consequently, about twenty
I've years old. His father was, prior to
the war. a wealthy planter, and since his
slaves were freed was engaged in the
stock business until he died
four years ago. Young Henry went
to Coleman city Texas about three years
ago and has for some time been engaged
in general merchandise and stock trade
in the firm of Dunn, Trultt s. Henry.
The fifth day of August last he wrote to
his brother in Wellington that his
health was failing and that
he intended soon to retire
from business and would pay him a
visit some time this fall. Since that
time ]. d. had not heard from him until
in the evening about five minutes before
the train started from Wellington
when he received dispatch
from Mr.. c. G. Bell, a brother-in-
law asking him to go Emporia and look
after their murdered brother. MIR.
Henry seems to have been very much
attached 10 his brother, and says he bore
an excellent name up to the time he left
Tennessee. Since then he does
not know what kind of a life he
has lived. Mr.. Henry spent the
day with the officers arranging plans for
the capture Of the criminals, writing let
ters to his folks and this afternoon Wis
tied the grave. It is his purpose TO re.
move the remains TO Tennessee during
the winter
