New BEDFORD, MASS, August S.--The
newspaper representatives were allowed
to look upon the dead hero as he lay in
his casket ut the cottage in Nonquitt to-
day. 1t was 400 when the Monuhan-
sett, bearing the guards Of honor from
the G. A. Il. posts here and the loyal
legion, was mIle fast at the wharf. The
The Grand Army men then brought
from the wharf the bier upon which the
casket was to be borne. A sad sight
was the little faces OF the Sheridan
children when they peered out OF one
OF the upper windows rs they
watched the 6. A. L. men come and go.
Presently the bier was lifted in position
and the coffin laid upon it. 1t was lifted
to the shoulders Of the old soldiers,
and the solemn procession passed down
over the lawn to the boat. A sadder sight
is rarely seen. All was silence and i'm
pressive.
The coffin was followed by Col. NJ. n.
Sheridan, supporting Mrs. Gen. Sheri-
dan upon his arm. Little Phil walked
by his mothers side. Next followed
Mrs. Col. Sheridan with little Mary.
Sister Urban followed next, leading
Irene, ono Of the twins, while Sister
Justinia followed on, leading little
Louise, the other twin. Then came the
govcrncss and the women servants,
and ColOnels S. Kellogg and
Biount, and DR.. Matthews and Clark
Roerber, in turn. Down the long
wharf, through two lines OF members OF
the Loyal Legion ut open order, past the
procession, the Casket was lowered and
those OF the party who were to go, Col.
Sheridan and Mrs. Sheridan, Col. Blount
and DR.. Matthews, the sisters and some Of
the servants passed on 10 the steamer.
The body was next taken aboard, fol-
lowed by the members OF the Loyal Le-
gion, the Grand Army men bearing
the Casket. The start from the
house had been made ut 4 o'clock,
andtwenty minutes later the boat left the
wharf. Ii the procession had been sad,
the parting was sadder. Col. and Miss
Kellogg, with the children and servants,
were huddled into little group on the
wharf together. Hardly an eye which
saw the spectacle was dry. Little Phil's
lips Quivered and he broke out crying,
but the rest bore up nobly. The wheels
OF the MoDahansett turned and the re-
mains Of the great General left Nonquitt
forever.

no abatement in the intense heat which
has prevailed here for week, when the
sun arose this forenoon. Mercury regis
tered almost 100 degrees this forenoon,
and scarcely breath OF mir string. The
snltriness has had the effect OF driving
from the city not only every regular in.
habitant who could get away, but d ma
jority OF the members OF the House and
nearly half OF the Senators. 1t is i'm
possible to transact any business in the
House except by unanimous consent,
and only fifteen or twenty Senators
are in their seats most OF
the time. Such heat has not
been felt for years, and its effect is being
shown among the sick people. There
have been oyerG dozen deaths OF infants
during the past twenty-four hours. A
member Of the Senate Committee on
Finance said this morning that he would
not be at all surprised to see Congress
remain in session continually till the
time for converting the next session, in
December. He added that it would be
ut least two weeks before the debate on
the tariff bill was begun, and possibly it
would be a month, and that the pros
poets were that the bill would not be
passed before early in October. lie
added that il the session should continue
until the 10th or 18th Of October it
would only be necessary for Congress to
take recess OF couple OF weeks dur
ing the latter part OF that month, and
extending over election day, after which
the session could be resumed and con-
tinued till the fourth OF next March,

He rested and refreshed his command
with the wine Of victory and found re-
cuperation in the disposition OF the
enemy who confronted him. Great
applause.
This gallant son OF Ireland and Ameri-
ca (great applause) has written chapter
in the art OF war that will not fail to in

achievements. Great applause.

came down from the galleries, and was

two years ago, but he was interrupted
time and time again by shouts OF "Por-
ter" Mr.. Posey, Of Pike county, placed

OF applause. Hon. Jacob Fleece placed

Address OF the Master Workman.
CLEVELAND, August S.-The third an
nual convention of the Miners and
Mine LabOrers' National Trades Assem-
bly, No. l35, convened here to-day.
Twenty-Five States are represented, and
the convention will continue in session
for week or more. In his address,
National District Master Workman W.
Lewis said:
1t has become fashionable OF late for
labor organizations, our own among the
number, to cry down and discourage
the most effective method, offensive and
defensive, and that organized labor has,
as yet, learned to use to secure their
rights, aud the method that is employed
daily by organized capital with success.
Through the medium of their Coal As
sOciation, the operators OF the East and
West advance the price of coal in the
markets twenty-five OF fifty cents per
ton, regardless OF the consumers ability
to buy. That is Business" and the
fact is heralded throughout our
great daiIies and copied by
our labor papers MS an evidence
that the market is in good condition.
The miners, through their organization
advance the price OF their labor five or
ten cents per ton, and il they refuse to
sell it for less, it is n strike" and the
men who have the hardihood to make
such demand are expected to offer the
"public" an apology for the position
they have taken, and are counciled that
their only remedy is education. Last
month the "coal pool" struck the con.
sumer for % cents advance and struck
the miner for six cents reduction. II
the miner is to be educated out OF strik.
ing, what is to be done with the opera,

Other officers read their reports, and
the convention adjourned.

CHICAGO, ILL, August S.-Immedi'
ately after Mrs. Rawson, the bankers
wife, OF divorce and shooting notoriety,
secured her release from the county jail,
Il few weeks ago, she was taken by her
friends to a Wisconsin watering place.
But her stay at the summer resort was
short, as paralytic affection Of the
hands and feet began to develop itself,
and her Immediate removal to Chicago
became necessary. Partial paralysis OF
both hands and feet has now set in, and
the unfortunate woman cannot use her
hands even to sign legal documents.
The attendant physicians fear she may
lose the use OF her feet and hands per:
manently. Hel condition is attributed
to her Imprisonment and the damp con-
dition OF the jail.

1t is now in order for Democratic
newspapers to parade the action of the
Democrats in congress, who voted to
confirm the right OF Representative
White, of Indiana. to the seat in that
body to which he was elected, as marvel
Gus magnaninity. The fact is they
simply made virtue of necessity. The
contest was so palpably unjust and there
being SO little upon which to base it that
they dared not unseat him. The report
OF the majority of the election committee
favored declaring the seat vacant, but
the majority Dir. White received in his
district indicated that a new election
would not avail the Democrats anything,
and there was nothing left for the house
to do but confirm White. Meanwhile
the surplus in the treasury keeps piling
up an the rate of ten million dollars a
month, the circulation of the country
contracting to greater extent and finan-
cial distress becomes more widespread

Wichita eagle., 1888-02-08

Representatives in law making body
are presumed to have the interests and
welfare of their immediate constituents
first at heart and, if faithful, to devote
their energies in their behalf The aver
age congressman, however, is more
catholic: his heart goes out for ''all
creation and the balance of mankind. -
When there is as much of vital concern
to the common country involved in one
or two propositions demanding the i'm
mediate attention of congress, as at this
time, for one member of that body to
undertake to monopolize its time and
attention by introducing one hundred
bills at one time partakes of the ridicu-
lous, and places the member in the atti-
tude of bidding for cheap notoriety, after
the demagogic order. Perhaps the hun
dred-bill man was just trying to prove
that he was bigger hog than the repre-
sentative bearing that name with an ad-
tional 90, who introduced eighty-odd
bills at one time.
