FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
Of the Late Cardinal McCIOskey at New
York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.
crowd of people gathered about the doors
of the Cathedral, Tuesday morning and wait
ed for the moment when they could enter and
look upon the remains of Cardinal McClos-
key. The procession emerged from the late
Cardinals residence, walked slowly along the
street and entered the Cathedral. Six un-
dertakers bore the body of the Card nal, be-
hind came body Of priests headed by Archi-
bishop Corrigan, Mgrs Quinn. Finley and
Preston, and Rev. DIR. Mcdonnell. The last
named acted as master of ceremonies. The
procession moved down the aisle, went
through the main vestibule and centre aisle
where platform and catafalque was erected
Here the bearers reverently placed their bur
den on the golden pail which covered the
catafalque.
The body of the Cardinal was dressed in
full ecclesiastical robes and four candles
burned at the corners of the catafalque. A
guard of four men from the society of St.
Vincent De Paul stood near the catafalque
When the doors were thrown open the crowd
quickly filed into the centre aisles passing
along on either side The people after view
ing the remains left the church by another
exit. The police had no difficulty in handling
the crowd. Many of those who visited the
Cathedral today found fault with the height
of the catafslque which lifted the body of the
Cardinal so far above the heads Of the peo-
pie that it was almost impossible to see the
faces

THOSE STOLEN LETTERS.
Mr.. Emerson in Hopes OF theis Recovery
for the Completion of the Next Edition
of the EmersOn.Carlyle Correspond.
enCe.
BosToN, Oct. l3.

Boston, Oct. Is.
In connection with the report telegraphed
yesterday that portions of the late Emerson
Carlyle correspondence had been stolen, Ed
ward w. Emerson of Concord, son of the
poet, gives some additional facts. He says
that shortly after Csrlyle's death it became
known to his father that many of the letters
were missing, and after a long and trying
search the robber was found to be none other
than the trusted secretary of Carlyle, who
had access to all his papers. This person,
who has since died, had scattered the letters
broadcast throughout the leading cities, his
design being apparently to distribute them
where the attached autographs would bring
the highest prices. The possession of these
letters became virtually necessary in the
preparation of the correspondence and many
of them were secured through advertisements
and by paying literally for them. Others
are still missing and the matter of their re-
covery has been placed in legal hands. The
matter had been kept from the public until
such time As it was thought they could AS
sist in their recovery. The letters have been
circulated for sale chiefly in London and New
York. Mr.. Emerson has hopes of be-
ing able to secure the letters necessary to
complete the next edition of the Emerson
Carlyle correspondence.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Reports at the Marine Hospital Bureau
Cabinet Meeting-Postof1ice Matters-Ap.
pOtntment.


WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
Reports received at the Marine Hospital
buresu show that yellow fever epidemic is in
Caracas cholera Is decreasing in Spain and
is extinguished in Vslencis; that small pox
is raging in Bueonss Ayres with alarming
fatality and yellow fever has appeared in
Acapulco.
All the members of the cabinet were pres
ent at the meeting today. The session was
unimportant.
The postmaster general has considered the
subject of permitting postmasters to give as
snreties bond of guarantee associations. He
has decided, after a careful examination of
the subject, that although such companies
may be responsible and competent in law to
become bonds for postmasters yet that policy
of the department will not permit such sure
ties to be accepted. 1t is constantly happen
ing that on the death Of a postmaster, or his
detection in crime, it is necessary for his
sureties to take charge of the office as under
the law. They remain responsible for the
performance Of the duties until q successor
takes possession. This safeguard would be
broken down if the sureties were a foreign
corporation, having no agent or person on
the ground to take charge of the Office, when
even from death or other causes it becomes
necessary to place the office in other hands
than those of the postmaster. OF the 600
changes made in presidential postmasters
since the adjournment of the Senate, 249
were caused by removals of the postmasters,
By the first of December there will be nearly
100 vacncaies in presidential offices, caused
by the expiration of commissions and resig-
nations and it is the intention of the post
master general to give his attention to these
offices before making any considerable
changes elsewhere.
The President today appointed John S. II.
Frink to be United States attorney for the
District of New Hampshire.

DR.. c. F. Brown, testified to the condition
of the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs Goodwin, after
death, and that death in both cases was
instantaneous
Peter Butler and II. A. Tozier testified to
warning the deceased of the incoming train.
The deceased were in position to see the
train, but evidently thought it to be the mail
train, which would stop at the station below
the crossing. On being warned, Mr.. Good
win struck his horse which quickened his
pace. When the collision occurred the body
of Mrs. Goodwin was thrown l4O feet.
The engineer and fireman testified that the
bell was rung and whistle blown as usual
that the train slowed up little before pass
ing the station; that the train was running
at the rate of 30 miles an hour, which was it,
usual rate of running by this station that
they had no instructions to slow up at any OF
these small stations, and no orders to do SO
between Waterville and Bangor except al
Newport.
1he station agent testified that he had no
orders to flag any trains, but had tagged the
two Yankees" and Bangor express, morn
ing train, when he could get the time; that
there was post and board at the railroad
crossing, lettered "R. R. Crossing;" that
they had not time to flag the train that dav
after they first new it was coming.
N. Jaquith, merchant, testified that he told
the deceased he thought they would have
plenty of time to get over the crossing before
the train arrived that at that time he had
forgotten about the Yankee which passed a
few minutes before the mail train, of which
he was thinking.
Tozier testified that at the time he warned
Mr. Goodwin of the train, Goodwin was look
ing in the direction of the incoming train
that Goodwin looked at him and then turned
his head back in the direction of the train.
and that he, Tozier, thought Goodwin was in
a position to see the train.
very full and thorough investigation was
made, occupying six hours, after which the
jurors viewed the scene of the accident and
the Witnesses pointed out their respective
positions, that of the deceased and of the
train. The jurors then returned to the hall
to bring in their verdict and the special train
departed for Watervlle.
