NEW YORK, March 1.-Two notaple
funerals took place yesterday. The first
was that of Michael McGloin, hanged on
Friday. An immense throng followed the
hearse to the cemetery. The other was
from the most miserable and squalid part
of Canal street, from the worst of the
.umble- down rookeries. Early in the day
hardened Bowery roughs and their equally
hardened and bedizsned female compan-
ions began to gather in large numbers.
The constant theme Of conversation was
Poor Jimmy Elliott" On the second
floor lay the body Of the dead pugilist, in
a loth-covered iron casket, surrounded
with flowers. Over it hung the mourning
trimmings that hung over the body of
Cornelius J.. Vanderbilt. At hslf-past l
the pall-bearers, wearing high hats, white
regaiia and mourning badges, entered the
room. Among them were Jack Stiles,
Charles Johnson, Jimmy McGlynn, ex-
Alderman Jimmy Damn, Red Leary,
Shang Draper, Chief MaSin of the Phil
adelphia police and Matt. Grace. They
carried the casket to the street. A num-
Der OF small boys began to cheer, but they
were quickly hushed, and the coffin was
quietly borne to the hearse. The process
sion then formed. Following the hearse
and pail bearers came about 10000 men
and boys and $50 coaches. After the
usual Catholic services at Calvary Gem
etery, Jimmy Elliott was placed in his last
home. Every well-kuown thief in the
city was present. The Times says Of the
gathering at the funeral: No such crowd
ever gathered in New York before. Ruff
fans Of every grade, from p~iiferers up to
murderers unhauged, were abundant. The
police dubbed everybody within reach
whenever the throng grew unruly. Some
inkling of It's character may be inferred
| from the care taken by some Of the we'll
known sporting men OF what may be
called the higher class not toHbe seen in
such When a crowd is too hard
for such persons as the Coblrns and the
Aliens it must be very bad indeed, aud yet
on such a corner stone as this the govern
ment of the city rests.
Virgins and His Predictions.
OTTAWA, March 12.-Wigsins to-day
claims that his prophecy has been literally
known has been reported at Halifax, and
The kilograms received from all parts in
dictate a severe tempest. He says he has
always entertained the greatest anxiety
for the safety Of the people on the shores
Of the Bay Of Bengal and the Gulf of
Mexico. In the former a major tidal
wave, of which the minor one on our
coast was the reflection, must have &C.
Cured on the afternoon Of the l0Jh, Lon
don tiDoa hunhrpls of fhnrsan1s nf liyas
perishing. He expresses great fears for
the City OF Chester, and characterizes this
storm as the greatest that can possibly &C.
cur on this planet, and the greatness Of
its extent is the only hope of safety
in any particular quarter. He makes o
sly hit at the Canadian and United States
authorities for not hosting storm signals
until after the storm was actually beating
upon the continent. Some people, he
adds, expected an impossible storm yester-
day. but he repeatedly said his object in
making the prediction was for the safety
OF mariners, as no danger could possibly
occur on land, except in the vicinity Of the
places named as being exposed to tidal
waves. But the people like to be fright
ened, aud cling to their own i%nterpreta-
ton 10 preference to mine.

ing-house Saturday night give the follow
ing story: They were awakened by the

totally destroyed in 80 minutes after the
discovery Of the fire.
