THE WsLSHE BURIED.


The services attending the funeral of
Henry Welsh, his wife and Alice Swords,
victims of the late railroad disaster at
Mount Joy, were held in the Evangelical
church of that place on Saturday after
noon. Long before tue hour set for the
ceremonies every foot Of space of the large
church, except that reserved for tho rela
tives of the families, was taken up by
surrowing friends of that borough and the
surrounding country. The funeral pro
cession proceeded from the Welsh resi-
dence on West Donegal street with the
remains of Henry Welsh at it's head. Then
came the corpse of Mrs. Welsh, followed
by their relatives. Within square of tho
Welsh homestead directly to the South of
David street lives the Swords family.
Through a narrow street the Swords
funeral procession proceeded meeting the
other on it's way to the church. In the
same order they were taken to the Mount
Joy cemetery for interment.
Rev. J. w. Hoover, of the Evangelical
church, Robert Montgomery, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and Henry Eugle,
of the Dunkard denomination, Oficiated.
Rev. Hoover preached a sermon based on
Matthew, xiv chapter aud 44th verse
Therefore, be ys also ready for in such
an hour as ye think not The Son of Man
cometh."
After the services, hundreds OF persons
viewed the corpses. The mass of persons
who were outside of the church outnum
bered those within, and it took one and a
half hour tefOre the last one had taken q
look at the victims of the tragedy. Fine
floral tributes from kind friends decorated
tho remains of the deceased, and the
sternest hearts ofthe vast assemblage were
wrung with grief as they beheld tho last
scene of the terrible accident.
The railroad company has very properly
s10O towards defraying the
expenses of the funeral.

TnE colored NAL and brother who

dent says he las done enough for the

EsIllEn TruafI.s
From the Iberyille South,

AhtAA TIT .1hGANAAaE 'i9AAhAAs
At the recent session of the district
court held at Franklin, parish of st..
Mary, Judge Goode presiding, several
important criminal cases were tried
and disposed of. Two colored men
were found guilty of murder and were
sentenced to be hung by the neck
until they are dead.
Judge Goode, in pronouncing the
fearful sentence of the law, delivered
avery feeling and solemn address on
the onormity of their crimes, made
the statement that the cause of most
of the crime committed by colored
people was mainly attributable to
their indulgence in strong drink, and
he characterized ''the practice prevail
| ing among plantation stores Of selling
whisky ad libitum to the laborers as
one that demoralized the labor on
plantations, and caused the commits
sion of nearly all the crimes"
No one who has care fully noted the
decentralization prevailing among the
laboring classes Of Louisiana can deny
that there is muck more of truth than
poetry in the above statement Judge
Goode is a sugar planter himself and
has witnessed the sad effects of plan
tatiOn whisky. Its effect can be seen
in all directions. ~0ne can mot travel
onr public thoroughfares on Sunday
without witnessing scenes of gamb-
ling, fighting, and, in many instances,
murder.
Under such circumstances what can
be expected Of the rising generation!
Its blighting influences must be en-
tailed upon them. The Young are
easily led astray, and, therefore, the
temptation to indulge in strong drink !
should be removed as far as possible |
from their path.
1t is for this reason, If no other,
that we think the sale Of intoxicating |
liquors should be confined 10 lncorpO-
rated town aud cities, where they are
under constant surveillance of the
police.
We believe tlatt the custom prevail
ing on most of our plantations of sell
ing liquor by the glass will ultimately
prove far more injurious to tn" sugar
Of Louisiana than any action
NAV take on the tariff. For
the latter there is a remedy, but for
the evil effects Of the for there is no
cure save death.
