Solemn High Mass Celebrated Over

AT the funeral services of Mrs. John
S. Barbour in st. Aloysius Church this
morning high mass was celebrated,
Rev. Father McGuirk celebrating, with
Fathers Stack, McGaldrick, Noonan,
O'Kane, Walters, O'Connell and Nc.
CURE in the sanctuary, Messrs.
Brooke, Soleau and Lynch acting as
ushers. A special train brought large
number of friends and relatives from
Alexandria and vicinity, and friends
also came over from Philadelphia and
Baltimore. The Virginia delegation in
a body was present, also many Repre-
sen,atives and Senators and the Dis
trict Commissioners. Mrs. Manning,
Mrs. Carlisle and the venerable w. w.
Corcoran were also present.
The first services were held at the
residence of Mr. Barbour, where the
Del Protuadis was pronounced. At
11:10 the remains passed down the
center aisle of the church TO the solemn
strains of Mozarts Requiem, the white
robed acolytes leading the way, bear
ing lighted candles, followed by two
priests reading prayer for the dead.
The caskct was horne by twelve pail
bearers, comprising the following
gentlemen: Judge Field, Judge Wylie,
Hon. Samuel j. Randall, Senator Glib
son, General Eppa Hunton, Hon. Ran
dolph Tucker. General Rosecrans, Hon.
George c.. Cabell, Mr.. Marbury, Soici
tor-General Goode, and Mr.. Maury.
Next came the immediate friends and
relatives of the deceased in full mourn,
ing.
The casket, shrouded in black and
completely covered with floral designs,
rested upon the catafalque in front of
the altar. surrounded by lighted
candles. The ceremony of high mass
for the dead was very impressive, the
chants and requiems, the grand old
organ pcaling forth in solemn melody,
| the rising incense, the robed and sur
| plced priests, the swinging censers,
| the sweet voices of the choir and the
half stifled sobs of the friends all
tended to heighten the solcmnity of the
service. A most touching and beauti-
full panegyric was pronounced by
Father McGuirk over the remains,
moving the vast congregation to tears.
After the funeral ceremonies at the
church prayer was said over the body
at Mt. Olivet Cemetery and the re
mains placed in vault temporarily
previous to being inferred in the fam

ness in anticipation of rain
Acting on these orders, he had the
tug-boats L. ID. Hartley and Mary
Lewis lying at Tenth street wharf
southwest with steam up this morning
to engage in the battle when the
emergency arrived. There will be no
attempt TO break the ice unless rain
sets in or considerable rise Is reported
from Harper's Ferry. Captain Symons,
the engineer in charge of the Washing
ton Aqueduct works, receives hourly
reports of the condition of the ice at
the Great Falls.
A late report received at that office
at late hour this afternoon states that
the ice remains solid and that there Is
no immediate danger Of break at that
point. Major II. l.. Biscoe, who has
had much experience, says that the
river is in a decidedly worse condition
than II was before the disastrous flood
which inundated the lower section of
Washington five years ago today.
lie further says, that while similar
flood is imminent, continuance of the
warm spell Is the only thing that can
save the harbor and the city from u
damaging frcshet.
The delegation which waited upon
Superintendent Sharp of the Baltimore
& Potomac Railroad yesterday to ask
assistance from the company in clear.
ing the river were promised by Mr..
Sharp that he would at once communi-
cate with the proper officials and in
form the committee as to the reply.
The reply had not been received up
to late hour this afternoon. Mr..
Browning has submitted his report of
receipts and disbursements as treasurer,
which shows that the amounrcollected
was s50150 expended, $500; balance
on hand, $3.50. He also says that he
has received numerous offers of con
tributions If necessary.
Engineer Commissioner Lydeckcr
made another inspection of the harbor
this morning before going to his Office
at the District buildings. He said the
ice was not melting too fast and the
snow melt in the hills and mountains

The Deadly POgOnip.

This morning the cold yapor or fog called
''pogonip" by the Piutes was seen hanging
almost stationary midway between the base
and summit of Mount Davidson and Cedar
HILL At intervals during the day 1t was
so dense as to obscure the rays of the sun.
This cold vapor is productive of pneumo-
mia and is frequently fatal to people afiict-
ed with lung disease. During its contnu-
ance the mercury hovers between 16 and go
degrees above zero, and the cold is much
more penetrating than at times when a
lower temperature is registered in clear
atmosphere. The ''pogonlp" generally
lasts three days, and is usually the prelude
to a snowstorm. During its prevalence the
wary Piutes lie close to their wickups, be-
ing well aware OF the danger Of inhaling
the icy yapor.-[ Virginia (Nev,) Chronicle.
