THE LAST RITES.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE HENRY
w. GRADY.
THE REMAINS LIE IN STATE.
Prominent Men From North and
south I'm co--Magnificent
Floral Designs Simple but I'm
pressiyc Services.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 26.-All that
was mortal of Henry Woodtin Grady
was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery
Yesterday There was no ostentation,
no display, no slittering pageant-all
was implicity--but the funeral pro
cession was the largest that this state
has ever seen, and in the hearts of
Georgia's people was sorrow deeper
than human minds can measure. 1t
was o'clock when the honorary pail
bearers and committees from each Of
the organizations to which MIR. Grady
belonged arrived at the house. In the
honorary escort there were, be-
sides men prominent in affairs in
Georgia and the South, a number
of Northern friends. The body lay
in q beautiful casket in the large
parlor, and here these friends took
a last look at the beloved face.
At 10 O'Clock solemn procession
wendell its way to the First Metho-
dist church, where the body was TO
lie in state. Here the local members
OF the Chi Phi Fraternity, of which
Mr.. Grady was the highest officer in
the state, took charge. Then for
four hours the public was allowed to
pass the casket in double lines and
look upon the face. Floral designs,
which came from friends everywhere,
were most beautiful. Of these, that
given by the Constitution employees
was especially noticeable, and it Is
mentioned because If was made after a
design selected for another purpose
by Mr. Grady himself. 1t was in the
shape of Georgia's coat of arms, with
the simple words. "Georgia's Son on
top of the arch, and "Our Friend" at
the base.
The scenes during these four hours
were most touching. Old and young,
great and small, white and black,
passed by the casket, and there was
not dry eye as people realized that
their best friend had gone. The EN-
ployes of the Constitution, headed
by President Howell and Business
Manager HeInphill, came in body.
Then they went to the house and
acted as escort of honor TO the family
TO the church.
The services were the simplest posi-
BILE at the request of the widow. DR.
Morrison, DR.. Lee, DR.. Barnett, DR..
tIlenn. Gen. Evans and DR.. Hopkins
were the officiating ministers. Reading
of selections from the scriptures, sing
ing of hymns and prayers by DR.. Morri-
son, Methodist, and DR.. Barnett,
Presbyterian, completed the services.
The singing of Mr.. Grady's favorite
hymn, "Shall We Gather 1T the
River" was especially touching.
The long procession wendell its way
to Oakland, and in the family vault
of w. D. Grant the body OF Henry
w. Grady found temporary rest
ing place. One short prayer at the
vault and all was over. He is gone
bur his words of peace an ! good will
for the North and South will keep
him alive in the hearts of all OF the
people.

Music at the Opera House.

The Boston Quintette Climb will
appear at the Opera House tomorrow
night. Of the Club the Chicago Tri-
bune says: 1.-The music loving peo
pie were out IN full force at the
Academy last night, and gave the
Boston Quintette club the largest
house that ever greeted a concert
troupe in Chicago. 1t was Chicago's
tribute to musical excellence, and at
tested the high appreciation in which
the famous quintette is held. The
verdict was rendered at once, and
without rising from their seats-as
they say in the court house-that the
Boston Quintette is the finest travel
ing company of musicians in the
world. Such musicians as Louis
Blumenberg always has with him,
besides affording the highest and
most classical entertainments, are
great educators; they improve and
elevate the sentiments and taste of
every community they visit. and one
cannot hear them too often or say too
much in their praise"

RIOT AT JESUP.
A Serious Outbreak--SeveraiN Negroes
Reported Killed.
By Associated Press.

SAVANNAH, Ga, December ga
riot occurred yesterday at Jesup, fifty
seven miles south of Savannah. Two
seriousl wounded, and several negro
es are reported killed. The Georgia
Hussars troop OF the First Regiment
of Georgia cavalry sent two detach--
ments of men to Jesup last night and
more trouble is apprehended.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 26.-When Of
ficers Williams and Crawford went to
arrest a party of drunken negroes
Yesterday, they resisted and disarmed
the policemen and beat them badly
with their clubs. The police were
subsequently reinforced, and half q
dozen of the negro ringleaders were
arrested and locked up in the eng
ine-house. A large number of citizens,
white and black, collected about the
place, and great excitement prevailed
during the afternoon.
The negroes were subsequently re-
moved from the engine-house to the
jail, where they were safely guarded,
and no further trouble is apprehend-
ed. When the officers started to jail
with the prisoners difficulty occur
red between q negro and several
whites First clubs were used, then
pistols. One negro was killed out
right and another badly wounded.
LATER.-Advices received from
Jesup at midnight say the situation
is somewhat quieter at this hour, but
an occasional shot is heard. The
streets are still paraded by armed
men. A negro was found dead in an
alley a few moments ago and two
others wounded are reported to be
dying. Fear is now entertained for
the safety of the people remaining III
neighboring towns, but as all the
negroes and whites seem TO be congre-
eating here, very little danger need
be unprecedented.
STILL LATER.-Nothing additional
about the Jesup affair has been re-
ceived, but wild rumors are atloat
that there was serious trouble there
this morning. The militia there,
under command of Captain Gordon,
of Savannah, is as follows: Georgia
Hussars, 81 men; the Brunswick
Rifles, so men, and Appling Grays,
40 men. In addition to these there
are are upwards of 100 members of
different companies in the surround
ing counties. Captain Gordon has

MES, said
Just ut this season of the year the
employees of the express companies all
over the country are kept extremely
busy on account Of the large number
of Christmas boxes and packages sent
through this medium. a person who
has never been connected with
an express company can form
no conception OF the enormity
of the quantity of pieces OF
express we have to handle. The GUS
tom of giving presents is growing in
popularity and the number of pack
ages that passed through my Office
this CHRISTMAS is largely in excess of
the same period iast year. In fact,
our business was more than twice as
heavy during tie last few days, and
the employees in theo ce have worked
both day and night since last Satur-
day in order to get the Christmas
presents delivered, ana now there re-
mains only one on two pieces to be

HOW Book Agent Found Rich
Old Husband.

Allen Mcdonald, aged eighty-two
years, wealthy retired blacksmith,
and Miss Addie d. Bowen, aged
twenty-five, a New York book agent,
were married in Danbury, Conn, by
the Rev. Mr.. Hubbard.
The story Of the marriage is Gu.
rious one. Mcdonald is childless, and
his first wife died on November z,
1888. Except wealthy sister in Mis-
sissippi, he has no one to inherit his
property. which is estimated worth
$3.50, 900. A year from the day his
wife died he announced that he would
give half his fortune to any woman
Who would marry him. He insisted
that the woman should be young,
pretty. and a spinster. A few days
later Miss Bowen called at his house
to sell him book. He refused to talk
about the book, but asked her II she
she would marry him.
Miss Bowen thought he was crazy,
but finding that be was in earnest,
asked time to consider. He obtained
the address OF her parents in New
York and visited them. He explained
that he was very wealthy and wanted
some one to inherit his property,
adding that he had only few years
more to live.
Miss Bowen's parents thought the
proposal a good one for their
daughter. and gave their consent.
The couple are now living in Mr.. Nc
Donald's fine house on West street.

NEGRO E3I:GRATIoN.
whai a Lending Coiorcd Man Thinks
of the Euiicr Bill.

WAeHINGToN. Dee 2G Ma y Of the
most intelligent and thrifty colored
men in this city are f;tvorabiy inclined
to Senator Buffers proposition TO as
sist the negroes to elniSrate to the
Western states. There is q we'll
known colored elpp!oye at the capitol
who is generally regarded as pretty
sensible fellow. Being near the head
of the stream from which flows all
legislation, good and bad, lie natural
" keeps very we'll posted as to what
is going on around him. In speaking
of the Butler bill, Christmas eve. he
said that he thought sech g measure
would be Of material benefit TO the
colured race. il tsSy would but take
advantage of its provisions in the
event of its bcco1ninga Law. He went
on TO say thar While he was confident
that the colored man could find
ample work and opportunity in
the West, il was very doubt
full whether niary of them
would avail themselves Of the chance
TO acquire Il comfortable home and
have an abundance of work for the
remainder of their life. Colored peo-
pie, he said, are Infatuated with city
life, and it is difficult to get them
away after they have once had taste
of the pleasures OF big city. Here in
Washington there are several grades
of colored society There is the circle
in which Fred Douglass used to move
before he married Il white woman. 1t
is composed of some OF the wealthlest
and most enterpri>ing citizens. They
make no attempt 10 force themselves
into white society, and they will not
associate with many of their own
race. There is but little ifany demand
for social equality now; that issue has
worn itself out, and the intelligent ne
gro asks to go by himself and work
out his own salvation.
