NEW ORLEANs,k December s.-Many
churches held memorial services in honor
of Jefferson Davis to-day, principally the
Protestant Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist
and Presbyterian. Bishop Keener, of the
Methodist Church, related anecdotes of the
deceased, especially as a visitor to the an
nual seashore campmeeting. Bishop Gal
leher, of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
who will be in charge of the funeral, did
not preach any sermon. Besides those al
ready mentioned as assistants, he will be
specially aided by DR.. Markham, Presbyte-
rian; Father Hubert, Catholic, and Drs.
BakeWell and Martin, Protestant Episco-
pal.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT.
They were all Confederate chaplains. DR..
Bakewell was sergeant of a company, and
Bishop Galleher himself carried musket.
It is the Bishops intention to have the
services take place on the broad portico of
the City Hall. Lafayette Square stretches
out in front, and many people could then
witness the rites.
A surpliced choir will sing the anthem
''Though Walk Through the Valley of the
SnaQOW Ol OedlD, ny OlE AIbnur sullivan.
At the tomb the same choir will chant
''Rock of Ages" The body will be taken
to the cemetery, distance of about three
miles on a caisson and the vast procession
will walk all the way.
The parade will be of immense proper
tions. Even the benevolent societies are
commencing to announce that they will turn
out. The somber drapery of mourning is
spreading over the city. To-day the ship
ping dipped its flags, the British steam
ships especially pulling their flags at half
mast. All day long there was ceaseless
stream of people viewing the remains Of
Jefferson Davis
PLENTY OF FLOWERS.
Floral offerings have been pouring in, and
the coffin now looks as if placed at the base
of bank of flowers. The Army of Ten
nessee leads with design ten feet high, one
of the handsomest fcral offerings ever made
here. When the doors opened at 10 o'clock
fully 5000 people were waiting to enter.
The crowd was so great that the people were
allowed to pass the bier in double instead of
single column, and over 8, 300 people passed
every hour. The total to-day was fully 40
900. The body will remain exposed until
the last minute. The full programme of the
parade will not be decided upon by General
John Glynn, the Grand Marshal, until to-
morrow night.
The selection of pallbearers will be left to
Mrs. Davis. Mr.. J. q. Payne, promi-
nent cotton factor and lifelong friend of
Mr.. Davis, will be one of the Grand Army
Confederate vetrans, and Governors of other
States will be represented beside the casket.
The Army of Northern Virginia and Army
Of Tennessee veterans will march side by
side just behind the caisson bearing the
remains of their lamented chief.

BUFFALO, n. Y, December s.-Sullivan

the negro failing to funk, are going to fight
In Buffalo.
Sporting men Of every grade and condi-
ton are wild over the matter. Last Tues
day large number of the most wealthy
sporting men in this city, envious of the
condition of the Buffalo Athletic Club, or
ganized the Erie County Athletic Club, on
the same basis, but with a larger member
shin and more wealth as backing. At
their first meeting, after electing james c.

Jackson's manager, asking those worthies to

There are about 800 members, and by assess
ing them 500 apiece this seemingly large sum
could be raised without any trouble. Last
evening the club held its second meeting at

Sullivan, telegrsphic dispatch reading as fol-
lows:

That was all. 'Parson" Davies was in Europe
and no reply had been received from him, but
he had every reason to believe that it would be
in the affirmative. The club will at once get
their club rooms in shape for occupancy. They
are located at the corner of Michigan and
Genesee streets, in building belonging to
Treasurer Floss, formerly known as the Peoples
Theater. They hope to open the rooms with
