The Funeral at 81. Johns Church Yesterday.
The funeral Of the late Hon. Franklin Steele
took place ut st. Johns church yesterday at
p. m, the Rev. Mr.. Clarke and the Rev Mr..
Lindsey Of ST. Johns church, Georgetown,
officiating. The church was well filled with
the relatives aud sympathizing friends Of the
deceased, among whom were some OF the most
prominent men of the nation. Tho pail
bearers were Admiral Almy, Admiral Poor
and Admiral Stanley, U. s.. N; Colonel Nc.
Cawley, U, S. marine corps; Dr. Maxwell, U.
S. N; DIR. Norris, U. S. A.; Hon. J. ]. Knox,
comptroller Of the currency, aud Mr.. Niles.
Tho church was lavislly decorated with
flowers In most beautiful designs. The re-
mains were taken' to the family lot at Oak
bill ard intcrred sidc.by side with his son'in-
law, the late Commander George U. Morris,
U. S. N. The venerable Mr. W. w. Corcoran
attended the burial service at tho grave.
Among others present were Captain Willie, Y.
$. N, a son.iu-law; Captain Arnold, u. S. NJ;
MIR. Chase Barney, formerly of U. 5. N; Lieu
tenant Frank Harrington, U. S. NJ. c.; Dr.
Blake, Mrs 9. G. Oldfeld, Mrs. Mary Rogers
and Mrs. Pastel Of Savannah, Ga. The press
OF Minnesota generally is devoting two or
three columns Of obituary notices to Mr.. Steele,
in which they cannot say too much In his praise
from every point of view. He was regarded
Us a sort of father of the state. Being Its car
lest pioneer, he was ever the leader in all
measures pertaining TO her welfare. His
brains and energy were identified with all of
its enterprises, which have been crowned with
success. Ho was q gentleman of extreme
modesty, and although ne would never accept
Of u nomination to come to congress or to run
for governor, still lie was the power behind
the throne aud largely controlled state poll
tics. His reputation for sterling integrity
aud generosity was rs wide rs the state. His
personal interests were immense. There
Is no way Of accurately calculating his wealth.
1t is variously estimated to he from one to
three millions. At one time hc owned the
whole site Of the thriving city ofMinncapolis,
which now exceeds St. Paul in population.
He was without doubt the richest man In tho
state. For the past fifteen years Mr.. Steel 8
family have resided hero and are well.known
as leaders in Washington society All ot his
family are now at his Georgetown residence,
His family have tho sympathy of tho whole
community.

Prospective Work for the Commissioners.


The first comptroller of tho treasury yester-
day submitted his decision regarding the
power of the District commissioners TO dele.
gate the signing of drawback certificates re.
ceved In payment of special assessments to a
clerk. About $1,000 worth of these certih.
Gates had boen sent to tho treasurer of the
United States signed by Mr.. Roome, and not
by the commissioners, The treasurer decided
that the commissioners must sign them, and
instructed Collector Cook not to receive any
certificates unless this rule was complied with.
The same views were held by the first auditor
of the treasury, and he requested a decision
from the first comptroller whether tho cert6-
| Gates should be signed by all the commissions
| eIs or a majority. The latter states that us
| the commissioners are authorized TO issue the
certificates they must be signed by a majority
Of them. To relieve them, however Of the
| duty of signing multitude of certificates, lie ia
of the opinion that schedules may be made
with Il proper number of certificates attached
which may be certified and signed by the com.
missioncrs. Such certificates to show that the
commissioners themselves revised and cor
rected the assessments and found them erro
neous, and that the certificates were issued tC

James McKelyey, former citizen OF

and more recently OF the vicinity OF Del
aware, Ohio, has gone West. His de-
parture was somewhat sudden, and was
an event not looked for by his friends
and admirers. One Of his female ac-
quaintaIces protested strongly against
his sudden resolution to emigrate. and
even the officers OF the law went 80 far
as to throw obstacles and distractions
in his path, and endeavored, in sundry
wavs, to convince him that there was
mo place like home" But James was
inexorable-he would tear himself
sway-and the girl he is alleged to have
betrayed mourns and will not be COM
iorted, The attempt OF young mu-
latto to run away with the wife OF Alex
and, Morgan, a colored citizen OF Ale
gleny City, Pa, has develoved the IN
teresting fact that the aforesaid wife is a
beautiful white woman, and a former
belle of Youngstown, Ohio. A terrible
tragedy occurred at Bath, New York,
Saiur Q :, | ivolving the death OF well
known young couple OF that place. Two
tssmps attempted to wreck passenger

Candahar, or Kandahar, to which place
the remnant of General Burrows force
retreated after their late defeat by the
troops OF Ayoob Khan. and which the
latter is now besieging. Is situated about
200 miles southwest of Cabul, the capi-
tai Of Afglanistan, and has an elevation
OF 3,Si9 feet above the sea. The city is
laid out in the form OF an oblonR square,
It's streets being straight and intersect-
ing each other at right angles. The in.
habitants number about 10000. much
the larger portion being Afghans, al.
though there are many Hindoo and Per.
sian merchants, who carry on . consid.
cradle trade with India and Persia. Water
is ordinarily supplied from . neighbor.
ing river by two canals, and distributed
throughout the city by bitches in oil
the principal streets, but Ayoob has. at
present, stopped the system. The
same means OF irrigation has covered
the surrounding country with gardens
and orchards. What is known as the
Citadel is an impregnable fortress, q
short distance north OF the city, where
the British successfully withstood siege
in the former Afghan war. Candahar Is
supposed to have been founded by Al.
exander of Macedon, and has been
prominent in the history OF Central
Asia for 1000 years. Previous to l747
it was held at various times by Tartary,
India and Persia, but in that year
Afghan rule was permanently estab.
lished.
