BROTHER BROOKS BURIED.
Very Lively scenes at the Fuuern

Very Lively scenes at the Funeral.
The funeral procession did not leave the
Vermont-avenue Baptist Church yesterday
with the body Of the Rev. John H. Brooks
until 6 o'clock.
The speeches made in the church were
Characteristic and sensational. Tho audi
ence frequently inteEiected remarks.
None of the societies were allowed to
take part in the ceremonies as organiza-
lions.
The Independent Order of Good Samar-
itans, who had supposed that they had every.
thing their own way, were with the others
refused admittance to the church. They
sent a delegation to Police Headquarters to
protest against the action of tho church
authorities, but nothing could be done for
them by the police, who had to recognize
the church authorities. The Sons and
Daughters of Moves came to the church In
carriages, but did not get out, remaining in
them for three hours while the services
were going OH in the church. They after
ward went to the burying ground.
The Lilies of the Valley Council of the
Cross, Sons and Daughters of Purity and
Love, Sons Of Liberty, Followers of st. Luke,
Gallileans, and other societies, were repre-
sented by small delegations, VINO rode In
carriages, wearing the rcgalia Of their
order.
Finding that they could not enter the
church, several of the societies went to the
burial ground in advance of tho funeral pro-
cession, but were refused admittance there
also. They were kept at the outer gates
until after tho services at the vault were
concluded. After the church people had
lett the cemetery the delegations from the
societies were admitted. They were about
to have another burial service Of their
own, when orders were given to the
police to drive them out, and tho order
was executed.
The funeral and the contests over the
body arc the subjects that the colored peo-
pie arc all talking about to-day. They are
good deal excited yet. Two Of them were
talking to-day on Ninth street. One was
very much worked up. He said "Whst dc
Sons oughter done was to go to do church,
git dat body and take it to dc burying.
ground. But dey didn't do it. De fac Is
dat dc Sons was towards yesterday"

The chesapeake & Ohio Canal Shit

President Lewis @. Smith, of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal, was in Baltimore yes
terday in consultation with Hon. Chas. j.
NJ. Gwinn, Ex-Governor Thomas aud Mr..
Thomas M. Lanahan, counsel for the canal
company in the pending suit in the United
States Court for foreclosure of mortgage, in
junction and receivership. The canal coun-
sci will file answers to the petition and the
bill in the case, one by September 10 and

While He Sits In Jail and POnders
Over the Wages of Sin.

George Smith, the hurculean colored
man who was reported as having been sent
to the hospital last Monday on account of a
severe clubbing he received at the hands of
Policeman Moreland, was before the Police
Court this morning with his head nearly
covered with plasters and bandages.
He was charged with disorderly conduct
and also with assaulting the policeman.
Mrs. Eliza Sullivan and her daughter, of
1904 X street, testified that last Monday
Smith came to their house and created an
excitement by breaking down the gate
and ringing the doorbell and trying to get
at the cook, who used to be his wife and
who he wanted to thrash.
A flne.of$ $40 was imposed in this case.
He pleaded guilty to the charge Of as
saulting the officer, but afterward withdrew
the plea at the suggestion Of his counsel.
The officer stated that when he arrived at
the premises he found the defendant in the
basement, and he resisted arrest and broke
away twice and assaulted him (the officer
and he had to use his club. He was fined
$50 or sixty days on this charge.

Kissing I'm the Rain.

One stormy night CHANGED to meet
laBBie IN the town.
Her locks were like the ripened wheat,
Her laughing eyes were brown.
watched her as she tripped along
TIL madness fllled my brain,
And then-and then-I know twas wrong
kissed her In the rain
With rain.drops shining on her cheeE,
Like dewdrops on rose,
The little lassie strove 10 speak
My boldness to oppose;
She stroye in vain, and quiverlng
Her finger stole In mine;
And then the birds began 10 sing
The sun began to shine.
oh, let the clouds grow dark above,
My heart is light below;
IT'S always summer when we love,
However winds may blow;
Ana I'm as proud as any prince,
All honors dlsdain;
She says am her rain beau since
kissed her In the rain.

between and 2 o'clock yesterday morning
wandering through the streets of South
Washington in state Of insanity. He was

Several months ago the wife OF tho unfor-
tunate man left home In the morning. after

AvICTIM OF BLOOD POISONING.
How the Late Senator Anthony Con
lracted the Disease.

'The death of Senator Anthony" said Baiti-
more merchant yesterday, 'reminds me III At he
fell victim TO blood poisoning while In this
city some years ago, from the effects OF which
he never fully recovered. He went out, while
here one day, TO call on some Providence
friends, taking his dinner hour for the call.
He conversed with them somewhat at length,
but did not partake OF dinner. on his way
back he stopped in at restaurant and was
served with partridge. Snow was on the
ground, and It is supposed that the bird, thus
deprived OF its ordinary supplies, had eaton
OF kalmia berries and tainted its flesh with
their poison.
"Soon after his meal he became III, and on
the train for Washington, feeling worse aud
fearing that he might become unconscious, he
called the conductor to him and gave him his
name and Washington address, which proved
timely help on reaching that city. 1t was
several days before he got about TO resume
his public Duties and felt the Ill effects OF the
attack from time to time for years afterwdrd.
The closing weeks OF the last session bore
very hard on him with their almost incessant
labors. 1t was a suicidal thing for that body,
which always includes q majority OF men past
their ply steal prime, to remain In constant
session, taking only short, unsatisfactory
recess OF very few hours length daily" -
