protest, and the fatal defect in the engross-

out. The defeat Of the Jones militia
bill in the House last night, while quite
discouraging, does not render the case
hopeless. II was only beaten by a few
votes, and when the Senate $40, 900 bill

ESTABLISHED AUGUST isss,
DisgracefoI sceno az a runern,

At the funeral of the late Mr.. Ford at the
Twelfth street M. L. Church east yesterday
there was disgraceful scene owing tg the
conduct of the officiating minister The
dead man, over whom the funeral was
being held, belonged to several secret
societies-tbe knights of Pythias, the
Grand Army of the Republic and the Inde-
pendent Order of Mechanics, but it was
agreed that none of these should bury the
dead brother in accordance with society
rites. The father, Mr.. Milton Ford, was
very much opposed to the secret societies,
and told his sons wife that if she had her
husband buried by any of them he would
not give a cent toward the funeral nor
have anything to do with it or with her.
The widow, accordingly, agreed to COM
ply with the wishes of her dead husbands
father, and so informed the societies to
which her husband belonged.
When the family and friends of the de-
ceased had arrived at the church, il was not
known that the pastor, Rev. II. L. Morgan,
would not Ofliciate. Instead of this gentle
man conducting the services, the Rev. JON
athan Blanchard, the anti.secret society
lecturer, and president Of Wheaton College,
at Wheaton, ILL.,, arose in the pulpit and
began sermon-not funeral sermon,
either-for it was nothing more nor less
than bitter and unwarranted attack upon
secret societies. He had spoken about q
quarter of an hour without once alluding
to the deceased, when Mrs. Ackers, the
sister of the dead man, became hysterical
and tainted.
Then it was that the audience began to
show their disapproval of Mr.. Blanchards
method of conducting funeral service,
and several parties called upon him to stop.
He did not pay any attention at first to the
demands made upon him, and kept right
on abusing the secret societies, when Mr..
Walter Brown, the brother-in-law of the
dead man, arose and demanded him in the
name of the family to cease.
The reverend gentleman replied that
Milton Ford, the father of the deceased,
had requested him to officiate, when the
latter stood up and said that he thought it
would perhaps be better for him to bring
his sermon to u close.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan then spoke few words
in praise of the deceased, and the coffin was
removed to the hearse, thence to the ceme-
terry.
1t is well to state that Mr.. Morgan did
not know when he surrendered his pulpit
to Mr. Blanchard that the latter would do
other than preach the usual funeral
sermon.

Police Officer Fitzgerald was brutally as
saulted on the corner of Virginia avenue
and Third street this morning by gang of
roughs composed of several of the leading
bruisers of Swampoodle, assisted by Others
residing in South Washington. The dis
orderlies collected on the corner in front of
Fegan's feed store shortly after Z o'clock,
and INDUCED in stone-throwing blasphemy
and rough.and-tumble fights. The neigh
bors were greatly annoyed by their bolster
Gus conduct, and requested them to move
away, bus the roughs were six in number,
and defed the residents and smashed the
window-glasses of those who attempted to
interfere with their diversion. Finally
word was sent to the station-house, and
Roundsman Fitzgerald was dispatched to
the scene of disturbance. The roughs were
found fighting and insulting the citizens
and Tom Cross, the apparent leader of the
gang, was placed under arrest by that officer,
when the Others of the gang ordered him to
release Cross or be mobbed to death, but he
continued to hold on to the culprit, when
he was knocked in the gutter and stoned
and kicked by the crowd, who declared
their intention to massacre any damned
blue coat who attempted to fool with
them. In the meantime Officers LOTUS
and Lewis heard of the disturbance
and hurried to the spot. When they ap.
preached the gang dispersed in different di-
rections, but after an exciting chase Tom
Cross and John Cross, alias Savage, were
captured and hauled resisting aud cursing
to the First Precinct Station. Officer Fitz-
gerald is badly bruised about the head, and
his face is so swollen that he can see
with difficulty. He complains of pains
In the stomach and side, and the probabili-
ties are that he is internally Injured. After
the fight he was taken to Baoon's drug
store, corner of Four-and -a-half and Il
streets, where medical assistance was pro-
cured and his wounds attended to. The
two Crosses are stoutly-built, vicious-look-
ing young men. When brought to the
statiOn-house they continued to resist
the police, saying that they intended to
leave the city Both men were armed
when caught and had in their possession
tickets for ball to be given by the Golden
Star Social Club. In the Police Court to-
day they were committed for trial for as.
saulting the officer.
