Never before have so many distinguished visitors
been assembled in York, Pa, at one time. as at
tended the obsequies OF Judge Black yesterday.
The funeral services at Brockie the late residence
of the deceased, were brief. but at last, little
after o'clock, when hundreds had taken their
farewell, the Rev. Mr.. Power, pastor of the Camp
bellite church at Washington that ex-Judge Black
used to attend, came down from an upper room
and standing In the hallway. said softly, "Let US
pray" Ii was the beginning OF the end, and the
hall-repressed sobs from some OF the black yelled
mC urners showed that they we're conscious OF the
fact. The prayer was brief and was an eulOgy
almost pure and simpl,. The clergyman had
his life. his character and his broad composing
charity. After h'm the Rev. j. c. Miller and Ar
thur Powell, of York, prayed and spoke. They,
too. had words OF warmest praise for their de-
parted neighbor. At the end those who had not
yet taken leave f1ed past the bier. Then all but
the Immediate family left the room, and the widow
and the bereaved children bade farewell to their
beloved dead In sacred privacy. and the light OF
which had been viewed by thousands. The fea.
lures presented a very natural appearance The
casket was covered with black cloth. The gold
plate on the lid was inscribed with the name OF
the deceased and date OF his birth and death. All
the funeral arrangements were of the simplest and
most unpretending character There was no floral
inferred al Prospect Hill cemetery, and were fol.
lowed to the grave by funeral procession more
than mile IN length. The pall-bcarers were Gen.
Hancock. Judge Gibson, Judge Wickes, George
A: i. Farquhar, George H. Sprigg, Judge Bear and

WHAT JOHN G. THOMPSON


Mr.. John g. Thompson, OF Ohio, who has Just
arrived from Columbus. was met by a STAR re-
porter this morning, and, in reply to questions as
to the political outlook In Ohio. replied: s'Every
thing is running quietly and smoothly out there,
but, as am on none OF the committees and am
taking no active part am not In a position to
know all the inside workings We feel pretty
confident that Hoadly will carry the state. They
have fixed the date for the opening of the cam
pa1gn-15th of September-pretty late, and that
will make rather brief campaign. Both HoadIy
and Foraker are speaking at county conventions
occasionally, here AMI there, but the campaign
cannot be said to be opened yet 1t is generally
until the middle OF September"
"How about the race for the sergeant-at-arms?"
asked the reporter.
''Oh, well!" said Mr.. Thompson, 'that Is Just in
Statu quo. don't think that members OF Con-
gress care to give their attention to such matters
until they get here; then they can look along the
whole line and see just what they want"
II see your competitor In Ohio claims to have
pretty strong backing for the position said THE
STAR man.
"Yes," was the smiling reply ..He claims to be
perfectly satisfied. And know that 1 am. The
matter Will be satisfactorily settled as far we
two are concerned in the Ohio delegation. Who
candidate"
what do you think Of the chances for the
SpeakerShip?" again asked the renorter
"Oh, don't know anything more about the
Speakership question than see In the newspapers,
which say that first one man Is OF 1t, ami then
another ! don't care to say anything about 1t,
because don't know anything about it"
Mr. Thompson again expressed his satisfaction
with the democratic outlook in the Buckeye state,
ana the reporter took his leave.
