The Remains bal Toledo.

TOLEDO, March 2O.-At 10 o'clock the
special train bearing the remains of Chief
Justice Waite rolled into the Pennsylya-
MIA depot and the funeral party alighted.
The casket containing the body was at
once removed to the hearse, and the fu
neral cortege proceeded up Summit
street in the following order Squad of
police, Toledo Bar Association, city
council, mayor and other city officials, the
body with guard of honor composed of
Toledo cadets, justices of the supreme
court In carriages, senatorial and house
committees and citizens on foot and in
carriages. The remains were taken to
che residence of Richard Waite, a brother
of the deceased, to enable Mrs. Waite
and other members Of the family to OBJ
tain a private view. The city is thronged
with strangers and business is entirely
suspended. Flags are floating at half
mast and emblems of mourning displayed
everywhere.
A tremendous crowd was gathered in
the vicinity of Hon. Richard Waite's
house. The casket was borne into the
the casket laid a beautiful wreath from
President and Mrs. Cleveland, and two
palms crossed, and the room was filled
with beautiful floral tributes. After the
casket was placed in the parlor, the pail
bearers and others retired. The remains
were privately viewed by Mrs. Waite and
other members of the family, that there
might be no unnecessary display. The
ceremonies of the day were as simple as
it was possible to make them. The cas-
ket was carried by a squad of Toledo ca
diets, and they and the pail bearers made
up a simple procession to the guild rooms,
where the body was to lie in state. The
casket was placed on IA catafalQue draped
in black in the centre of the large hall,
and shortly after | o'clock the lid was re
moved, and shortly aiterward the doors
were opened to admit the numerous
throng of friends and citizens which
packed the adjacent streets. The doors
were closed at 2:45, and many thousands
were disappointed in obtaining a view of
the remains. The casket was then closed
and removed to the church cbancel, which
was appropriately decorated.
Shortly after the body of the chief JUS
tice was taken into Trinity church the
doors were opened and the distinguished
guests entered the church in a body and
were seated on either side of the main
aisle. The services in the church con.
sisted Of the regular funeral services of
the Protestant Episcopal church. and
were very impressive. and the music was
rendered by a male choir. At the con.
c%lusion Of the regular service Rev. DIR. II.
B. Walbridge, a former rector of Trinity
church and now of New York City, de
livered a fitting and tender address that
was very impressive. After the services
at the church the remains were placed in
the hcarse and the procession formed and
wendell It's silent way to Forest cemetery.
The funeral cortege then proceeded to
Forest cemetery. where the casket was de-
posted in the vault. There were no GER
emonies here save a short prayer and the
closing portion of the Protestant Episco-
pal ritual. The procession then returned
to the city.
Mrs. Waite has borne up under the
severe strain better than was anticipated
by her friends.

. PONCE DE Icons RETINUE.
The Crowd That Passed Through Sa-
vannah Last Night.

The special train conveying the employees
of the Ponce de Leon Hotel from New York
to the Ancient City, reached Savannah at
2 O'Clock last night. When the train rolled
into the Savannah, Florida and Western
depot there was a lively rush. From the
six coaches there poured a stream of people,
making up the largest crew eff hotel help
that has perhaps ever been seen together in
Savannah.
There was the portly chef, burdened with
honors from the crack kitchens OF Newly rk,
and crowned with the greater honor of hay
ing gotten up Grover Cleveland's little
spread on the occasion of his Inauguration,
the exclusive and pompous head waiter, the
bell boy, lnnumerable "fronts." nimble-
looking walters, Milesian accented and rosy
checked chambermaids, vinegary pantry
keepers, and on down to the solutions of the
kitchen.
The brass band, composed of twenty-five
people, completed the crowd. They were a
hungry lot, and assailed the depot restau-
rant in "fire-and-fall- back onslaught for
about an hour. After supper the band dis
cOursed several pieces Of first-class music
from the balcony in the rear of the general
Offices in compliment to the few belated
railroad officials and the large crowd of peo-
pie that curiosity had drawn to the depot.
The train left at 9 o'clock. The crowd
was in charge of Mr. r. +. Armstrong. who
is connected with the Ponce de Leon Hotel
in the capacity of an advertising agent. He
was aSsiduous in his attentions to the people
under his charge, and is a valuable man in
the Ponce de Icons service.

Held by the Enemy"

Held by the Enemy" ON Wednesday
and Thursday nights, will be
the next attraction. The play
was written by William Gillette, and he
has given to the public a distinctively Ameri-
can drama. The New Orleans Times Demo
crut, in speaking of it, SAYS, that although
directly dealing with the stirring scenes
and incidents OF the great civil strife yet
there is nothing in the play to offend the
most sensitive Southerner. Indeed, the
most thoroughly unreconstructedo of the late
war, if such there be, can sit through the
play without being provoked to the least
spirit of sectional prejudice or bitterness. 1t
is founded on a sentiment of love, honor,
duty and self-sacrificing devotion, and hence
will commend itself to popular favor ir-
respective of sectional lines. And apart from
this, it is a dramatic achievement original
in its way, and repete with animated dia-
logue, effective dramatic situations, and the
incidents which combine to make
the poInp and circumstance of war.
Miss Minnie DuPree, who is a favorite
in Savannah, is with the company, and Will
add to the success of its engagement here
Miss DuPree has been winning success ever
since she was here year ago, and a leading
critic recently said of her that she has no
superior as an ingenue-that she is simply
irresistible. The play has had great sue
cess wherever it has been, and it will hardly
fail here.

The election yesterday passed off very

that the interest in the election was of even
less magnitude than was supposed before 1t
came off The workers about the polls
were the familiar electioneerers who are
ALWAYS to be found at their posts at every
election and as some Of them are generally
supposed to labor for reward or
the hone of it, it will be easy
10 surmise that their efforts were not so
jealous as TO make the proverbial political
cauldron boil to its wonted intensity. There
was not even fight to mar the serenity of
the occasion.
The managers and list-keepers were on
the ground early. The balloting started off
lively as soon ms the polls were opened, and
by noon a majority of the votes had been
been cast The following are the two
tickets that were voted:
In favor Of the municipal authorities vesting

the new Jail, in the meshes Of enough evi-

a long term of years. They were committed
to Jail yesterday morning by Magistrate
Russell. Neither made any effort to pro
cure bond. Their apprehension was a
clever piece of work on the part of the de-
tective
The story OF how Malloy was trapped at
the pawnbroker's was given in yesterdays
MORNING NEWS Russell the detective
knew, had been in the employ of Messrs.
Fretwell q Nichols, and of Messrs. Parsons
q Pike, whose establishments had been
burglarized, and he felt confident that he
was concerned in the robbery. His belief
was so strong that he arrested Russell, and
after a very short time he confessed. He
piloted the detective to the house Of n negro
who lives at the corner of York and Lin
coin streets, where he found forty pocket
knives. twelve pocket-books, three sets of
new poker chips, two boxes of draughtsman
implements, dice, stencil pencils, and a
number of gold pens These were articles
taken from Fretwell & Nichols.
In the Justices office yesterday morning
Russell reiterated his confession, and gave
away Malloy and another young man who
has not yet been arrested as his accomplices
lie said that the trio, in entering Fretwell
d Nichols, let themselves down from shed
in the rear Of the Telephone Exchange to
the roof of Fretwell q Nichols building,
into which they effected an entrance
through the skylight. This gave them an
easy access TO the store below through the
elevator Their entrance INTO Parsons d

already been stated
Maloy held out for quite while yester-
day before he confessed. He then told the
officer that he would find some of the stolen
articles at his mothers house, on top of the
wardrobe. The detective went TO the house
and found there the articles that had been
stolen from Parsons a. Pike, consisting of
five silver spoons, 200 cigars, two bottles of
Florida water, a revolver, and Mr.. Fret
wells keys. The discovery completely up
set Malloys mother, who showed plainly
that she had no hand in secreting the
articles.
Russell is about 10 years old and seems to
be the leading spirit in the gang. He ac-
knowledges having been connected with
several robberies, among them the Lee Roy
Myers robbery. He also says he did the
nice work on Mr.. LaRoches safe several
months ago and which at the time was sup
posed to have been done by experienced
hands. Numerous river thefts are also laid
at his door, but his career in the burglary
line is now about ended for a while at least

1t was generally believed, and, in fact, ac-
cepted as true by many old conservatives
that in consequence of the exceedingly in
clement weather prevailing during the holt
days our merchants would suffer serious
loss Large stocks had been purchased in
anticipation of the usual holiday demands,
and it seemed that only bitter disappoint-
ment would take the place of fond hopes,
and while their predictions did not appear
unreasonable under such unfavOrable
auspices, yet the surprise became all the
more intensified when it became known
that our house rolled up sales much larger
than for like period in all their eighteen
years experience.
We allude to the staunch, tried and true

admit of referring to their almost number

their immense sales in Pianos and Organs.
During the month Of December their Jona
fde safes amounted to one hundred and
aiRefy-three tidnoS and Organs. round
ing up q grand total of 800, III o.
Surely such a showing as this under the
circumstances Is phec omenal, and serves to
establish beyond a question, in more WAYS
than one, their popularity, and that their
trade, now larger than that of any other
house in the South, is on the increase.

all the Pianos and Organs go to. L. & b.

people, unequalled facilities, unlimited
experience, best investments, one price

no misrepresentation, honest dealings, one
dollar in value for every dollar invested,
are some of the ingredients that go toward
making up the corner stone-success-- this
world-renowncd establishment.
Thai their trade is thoroughly established
and dealings characterized by the highest
standard of business integrity are facts too
well known to need any further comment.
