 Yesterday-A Large but Simple Fune.
 ral Procession.
 ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 25.-One year ago Henry Grady wrote for the Constitution an editorial entitled "A Perfect Day." That Christmas day was beautiful, and to-day was another such. As the sun shed it's last rays upon the city all that was mortal of Henry Woodfen Grady was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery. The simple citizen of these United States was buried with honors worthy of tho mightiest potentate. There was no ostentation, no display, no glittering pageant, all was simplicity; but the funeral process sion was the largest this State has ever seen. At the beautiful house on Psachtrse street, which was once the pride of him who lay dead in it, sorrowful scenes were enacted this day. It was g o'clock when the honor- ary pail bearers and committees from each of the organizations to which Nr. Grady be- Jopped arrived at the house. In the honor ary escort there were besides men prominent in affairs in Georgia and the South a number of northern friends. The body lay III U Ochutllul VaDhoo HI pAAo AoA60 fsAA0@ "A.~~ here these friends took last look at the beloved face. At 10 o'clock a solemn procession wended it's way to the First Methodist church, where the body was to lie in state. Here the local members of the Chi Phi Fraternity, of which MT. Grady was the highest officer in" the State,, took charge. Then for four hours the public was allowed to pass the easket in double lines and look upon the face. The floral designs, which came from friends everywhere, were most beautiful. Old and young, white and black, passed by the casket an6 there was not a dry eye as people realized that their best friend had gone. The em' ployss of the Constitution, headed by Prest dent Howell and Business Manager Hemphill came in @ body. Then they went to ths house and acted as escort of honor to th' family to the church. The services were th' simplest possible, at the request of the widow Dr.. Morrison, Dr. Lee, Dr. Barnett, Dr Glenn, General Evans and Dr. Hop kins were the officiating ministers Reading of selections from the Scriptures singing of hymns, and prayers by Dr. Nor rison, Methodist, and Dr. Barnett, Presby terisn, completed the services. The singinl of MT. Grady's favorite hymn, "Shall w
 Gather at the River." was especially touch ing. The long procession wended it's way | | Oakland, and in the family vault of W. D Grant, the body of Henry Grady found l temporary resting place.

A WHITE CAP" KILLED BY HIS BROTHER.
AN ATTEMPT TO q TEACH LESSON. ENDS IN A
TRAGEDY


Albany, Oct 2s.-A dispatch 10 The Union
from Worthwhile, ~ Y, says A terrible tragedy
was enacted at the home of Samuel Darlington, half
mile from this place, on Saturday night Oscar
Barclay has made himself notorious by his rela-
tions with two women and his visits to the Car
rington homestead. Barclay had been warned re-
peatedly by his father and three brothers, but he
paid no attention TO them, and they decided to
teach him lesson Accordingly they disguised
themselves as White Caps and, accompanied by
about dozen young men, similarly disguised, pro-
ceeded to Carrington's house. The party dragged
Darlington from the house, tarred and feathered
him, placed him astride of a rail and carried him
thus for quite distance. Then he was released
and left to take care of himself.
The White Caps then returned to the house
for young Barclay, out, having witnessed their
treatment of Darlington, he determined to resist
them. As they came to the door he ran upstairs,
and, seizing a musket ordered them to stop. His
command was unheeded, and as the White Caps
pressed forward he took a careful aim and fired
A shrek followed and the leading one of the
White Caps fell dead the right side of his face
and head having been blown to pieces. The vie
tim proved to be Fred Barclay, the youngest
brother of Oscar. Barclay made no effort to es
cape, and taken into custody yesterday. -Four
of the White Caps were arrested yesterday after
noon, and the rest will be captured to-day. Public
sympathy Is in Oscars favor
