William Wilson Cocoran, Wash

William Wilson Corcoran, Wash
ington, D. O., ripe in years YET
ripper in good deeds, has passed
away. For him all Virginia mourns.
His life began with toll, it ran and
ended in good works. Unfortu-
nate in early business life his high
integrity and sterling worth raised
him to great fortune. He was one
of the few men of whom it can be
truthfully said she won riches by
honest work. only. His heneiac-
lions have been many and great.
The Louise Home, Oak Hill Gene
terry, the Corcoran Art Gallery,rhe
Washington City Protestant Or
phan Asylum are monuments tes-
tifying the living charity Of a good
man; and his name is interviewer
forever with the Columbian Unl-
versity, the Washington Art Club,
the University of Virginia, Wash
ington and Lee University, the
Confederate State Home of Rich
mond, K. 4. Lee Camp, and the
Virginia Historical Society. His
private charities were many and
grcat-his heart ever sympathlzed
with distress and his hand gave as
his heart beat. He was buried on
Tuesday, 2Sth ult., at Oak Hill
Cemetery. Many we're the tributes
of floral gifts and distinguished
presence at his funeral-but the
most touching Of them all was the
presence at the little cemetery
chapel Of the children of the Wash
ington City Orphan Asylum whose
sweet voices sadly greeted the vast
cortege. While goodness, truth,
honesty, virtue and charity are
revered the name Of William Will
son Corcoran willlive

mentioned. The names of many

are much sought after, and from
present indications the contest over
them will be quite All active one.

That the city is full of strangers and liter

told by the thousands which lined every
avenue upon any of the lines of march
where torches cleaned by march and count
ermarch from 1870 o'clock until nearly 10
o'clock last night The city glowed with
Greek fire, which klndling the clouds,
marked the march of the long line of trades
and civic organizations.
As darkness began to settle down upon
the city, the rattle of drums and the sound
of gathering bands of music served to rally
thousands upon the streets where the night
procession was to pass. Tho rendezvous
was at o'clock at Bull and Bay streets.
An hour before that it was almost impos-
sible TO make ones way along the sidewalks
on either side of the street. The Custom
House portico, and the long granite steps
were packed with people. All the way
from Whitaker to Abercorn streets the
mass of people increased in volume. Leav-
ing Bay street with the lights Of the City
Exchange, the Cotton Exchange and the
Illuminated buildings on the south side of
that street, mingling with the glare of
torches and colored lights, shed a gorgeous
lusture on the gathered thousands

It was a magnificent spectacle, one well
calculated to receive the cheers from the
crowds who surged like the waves Of the

solid gold setting; also money and many
other articles Of less value. Every can con
tains a souvenir. The Coffee, can and con-
tents weigh about three pounds; the Tea,
can and contents about one and one-haf
pounds. This expensive and novel way of
advertising will be discontinued after thirty

Festival Notes

There were only four arrests by the police
yesterday.
The Chatham Union notices last night
were ''Protecton and Benevolence," "Edu-
Cationn and "45, 900 Enrolled Names.n
The tall white hats of the Levy brigade
last night were a feature of the parade, and
they appropriated the lions share of the
cheers To themselves.
The transparency Of the Forest City Gun
Club last night was a beautiful one. 1t re-
presented a marsh scene on the Savannah
with duck boat hunters and dog, the picture
being true to the life.
The statement in yesterdays issue to the
effect that the Chatham Artillery salute as
the Presidential train entered the city was
fired by detachment of the company was
erroneous. The full battery of four pieces
was used. The full company met the Macon
Volunteers III the morning.
When the band which Serenaded Gov
Gordon Wednesday night played Dixie"
Gov Gordon, i'll responding, set the crowd
wildly cheering by this happy bon mot: II
love Dixie. | was born in Dixie, l was
reared in Dixie, / expect to live and die in
Dixie, and 1 want to be buried in Dixie"
Z. r. Hernandez a. CO., the Broughton
street grocers, had handsome float pre-
pared for the trades display, but as they
were starting to the rendezvous the mules
took fright, ran away and mashed it to
pieces. This accident threw one of the
most handsome floats out of the line to the
great disappointment of its owners. No
one was hurt by the runaway.
The bakery and candy factory of Messrs
NJ. Ferst q Co. was the scene of consider
able animation yesterday, and the festival
visitors received quite a treat in the shape
of stick of candy neatly put up in
small Tinted States flag as n souvenir of the
Jasper Festival the year 1888 running the
full length of the stick. Fully 800 visitors
We're entertained and received a souvenir.
Among the visitors were many ladies, who
voted the candy great success, The fac
tory was in full operation and the whole
process of candy making was witnessed by

THE SENATORIAL PARTY.
1t Will Probably Stop in Savannah o
it's Way North.


An effort is being made to have the Sena-
torial party stop here on its return from
Florida tomorrow. Col. Garrard, Chair
man of the Jasper Festival Committee,
urged the party to stop on its way down,
but the invitation was declined for urgent
reasons. Yesterday Col. Garrard tele-
graphed Senator Call, who is in charge of
the party, renewing the invitation for to-
morrow, promising to arrange the
schedule of trains to suit its convenience, but
late last night no reply had been received.
1t is probable that the telegram did not
reach Senator Call Should the invitanion
be accepted the Cotton Exchange and citi-
zens will entertain the visitors and they
will be looked after by the members Of the
Jasper Festival Committee.
The Presidential party will leave Jack
sonville between 10 and II o'clock tonight
and will pass south over junction at 5
o'clock tomorrow morning. Master of
transportation Craig, of the Charleston
and Savannah railway is in the city on his
way to Florida to meet the party and will
go down this afternoon, returning tonight.
