CAPTAIN WeDb's widow.

BOSTON, Mass, July 3O.-Attired in
black, but without Grape, with fair,
fresh face, but with eyes redeemed with
weeping, Mrs. Madeline Webb, ac-
companied by Mr.. Kyle, left for
Niagara Falls in the $50 train TINS
morning, to be present at the Coroner y
inquest. Mrs. Webb has been keenly
sensitive to the inuendoes thrown out
that the whole affair was a hoax and
that only dummy made trip over
the rapids. She has also felt deeply
injured the general criticism of her
husband as rash and toolhardy. She
believes that the attempt was deliber-
ately planned, and that he had studied
the situation carefully before attempt
ing it. He had assured her that he
would succeed in this as he had sue
ceeded in other aquatic undertakings
which some had deemed impossible, and
she had relied upon his judgment.
Mr.. Kyle insists that Captain Webb
was alive after the whirlpool had been
passed, and that he was seen by a num-
Der of persons, including himself. He
believes that death was caused by a col
lislon with rock after Webb had sup
posed that all danger was passed The
body will probably be brought to Bos-
ton on Wednesday, and the interment
will be at the little cemetery at Hull,
the deceased having expressed n wish
that his bones might be laid to rest in
that quiet spot by the sea, which he
loved so well. Probably the services
will be held on Thursday
Captain Webb's property consisted of
9l5,OOO in English consols at 2ls per
cent. which are in trust for his two
and inaccessible TO his widow,
leaving her with but meagre income
1t has been proposal to open a subscrip-
ton in her behalf about Nantasket.

Frightened by Yellow Fever.

NORFOLK, July 30.-The proximity of
the vessel Andean, from Vera Cruz,
with yellow fever on board, has Great
ed feeling of the greatest alarm, and
at largely attended meeting on Sun
day, at which were present business
men, city officials, health authorities
and others, a resolution was adopted re-
questing the removal of the Quarantine
ground to a point opposite Lynn Haven
Bay, and also calling upon the Surgeon.
General of the Marine Hospital Service
to establish a rigid quarantine of the
Capes. Active measures continue to
prevent the approach of yellow fever
Surgeon Smith, of this city, has been
directed by Surgeon General Hamilton
to take charge Of the Quarantine of the
Capes.
NEW ORLEANS, July 30.-Two men
to-day escaped in boat from vessel
undergoing quarantine at the Ship
Island station and made their way to
Pass Christian. When the fact became
known to President Jones, of the Louis
lana Board of Health, he ordered the ar
rest of the men. They were taken into
custody and turned over to the United
States authorities, charged with steal
ing the boat.

DUST TO DUST
son YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
"A LARGE FUNERAL;

The funeral Of William Wilson, who
was instantly killed last Saturday
morning by being caught in the draw
at Market street bridge, took place yes.
terday afternoon at o'clock, from his
late residence, No. 4l3 Taylor street, and
was largely attended, every part of the
house being crowded. The remains
were dressed in a fine black suit, and
enclosed in a handsome walnut coffin,
silver mounted, with plate on which
was inscribed his name on the lid. He
looked very natural, and SO skillfully
did undertaken Palmer and his assis-
tant perform their work that no one un-
aware Of the facts would have thought
that he came to his death in such a vio-
lent manner.
The services, which were conducted by
the Rev. Rufus Wendell, pastor of the
Household of Faith, were opened by the
choir singing in a solemn and effective
manner the hymn commanding" We
shall sleep but not forever" This was
followed by the minister reaiins selec-
tions of scripture, consisting of the
Psalm Lord, thou hast been our
dwelling place in all generations" and
the account of the raising of Lazarus
from the dead.
Mr.. Wendell then spoke of the brew
ity and uncertainty of life, and said
that this sad occurrence was solemn
Illustration that we know neither the
day or the hour when we may be strick.
en- down. This should remind all that
we too are to be called home, and
should be lesson to all to be prepared.
We frequently form good resolutions
when we stand around the forms Of
our friends as they lie cold and still
in death, but how soon we forget them
when we mingle with the world again.
None present knew who would be next,
and although it was probable all would
live to see Tomorrow, or month from
now, it was also probable, that IN year
some one that was then present would
be taken, and none knew who it would
be-
After exhorting his hearers to be
prepared, and always found abound
ing in grace. he offered fervent
prayer, in which he earnestly beseech-
ed the God of the fatherless to look
with pity upon the six orphaned chill
dren, and to bless and comfort the be-
reaved relatives.
Another beautiful hymn was sung by
the choir, and the funeral procession,
which was quite large was then formed
and proceeded to Riverview cemetery,
where, after brief service, the remains
were consigned to the silent tomb, to
await the resurrection morn. Messrs.
Joseph Pyle and Ware have been unre-
mitting in their attention to thebereaved
family, and were among the first to call
on them after the sad accident occur
red.
