Viewing the Remains OF the Dead.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. THE remains
of Jefferson Davis are lying in state in
the council chamber of the city hall. The
coffin rests upon a catafalque devoid of
much ornamentation. The casket has a
silver plate upon which is the simple in
scription jefferson Davis at rest" with
the date of the death. Badges OF con-
federate associations. the flag of the
Washington artillery carried through the
wal and a bunch of wheat and a pair of
crossed Spanish daggers fastened together
with a purple ribbon are the only other
ornaments.
Soldiers in uniform stand guard, stacks
of arms and cannon fill the corners of the
chamber and all around the walls are rows
of plants and shrubbery.
Since early morning people have been
pouring in to obtain a last look at the
dead. All classes we're represented in the
procession by the bier. A number of
colored people were noticed. Mourning
is general and every place of prominence
in the city put on black. A noteworthy
event this morning was a telegram sent
by Mayor Shakespeare to Secretary of
War Proctor, officially notifying him LOT
the death of ex-Secretary Davis and the
date of the funeral.

silcott is "A Forger, Too.

WAsHIsGToN, Dec. 7.-Leedom has
been gathering additional facts bearing on
the defalcation OF Cashier Silcott. There
had been a good deal of speculation as to
why Silcott took up a number of notes at
the National Metropolitan bank last
week, Just before he disappeared. Lee
dom has secured an explanation, which
is to the effect that the cashier forged the
names os members of the house and
Others to thirty-five notes, aggregating
Sl4,5 500. 1t was these notes which he
took up on Nov. 81. 1t was reported
this morning that Silcott had been seen
in New York en- route to Buffalo and that
he had been arrested at Albany. The re-
ports lack confirmation. The congress.
ional committee has been busy with the
investigation. Members of the house
claim the government will have to make
the sums lost good TO them.
Representative Thompson, of Ohio,
was before the committee this afternoon
in connection with the inquiry into the
character OF the notes taken up by Silcott
and was confronted with a record of a
note purporting to be his, for the amount
of a month salary, cashed September.
Thompson declared that he was not in
Washington in September and denied
that he ever made such a note. Repre-
sentatives Stone, OF Missouri, Mansin,
Caruth, Crisp Herbert and four or i've
other members. testified to the same eff
feet in respect to the notes made out in
their names. Caruth stated that he was
in Europe when the note purporting to be
his was made.
1t is believed the forged notes we're is
sued by Silcott to cover losses on a horse
race; that he hoped to take them up but
failed to do so and simply got deeper in
the pit. With the opening Of the new
congress the hour of reck oning had come
and being unable to settle up he decided
to make a big haul. Before going with
the money he got from the treasury, it is
now understood, he consulted his lawyer
who advised him to take up the notes so
as to destroy the evidence of the for.
geries as that crime is covered by the ex-
tradition treaty with Great Britain.
While the taking up of these notes has
embarrassed evidence of forgery, it is
thought al indictment can be returned for
forgery BY the grand jury, thus making
his extradition possible if he is found in
Canada. As soon as possible the case
will be sent to the grand Jury and an at
tempt will be made to secure indictments
for forgery and for grand larceny.
As evidence III how Silcott was trying
to save himself by plunging deeper and
deeper into every gambling scheme to
get money to make good his forgeries,
the fact is disclosed that for the past two
months he has bought FIVE whole lottery
tickets each month.

A Pier on Fire.

NEW YORK, Dec. Fire broke out
on the National Steamship company's
pier in the North river at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The steamship Holland,
which arrived this morning, was docked
and a gang of twenty.fv men started to
clear the pier to make ready for the
steamships cargo. While working the
foreman discovered fire among bales of
cotton near the end of the pier. Some of
the men remained to assist In putting out
the flames and were badly burned. It is
possible some were burned to death.
Five men were severely burned and taken
to the hospital. Tugs hauled the steam
ship Holland into the stream. At 2:3o
O'Clock the whole length OF the pier was
burning. The pier was 600 feet long and
cost $500, 900.
The fire was under control at 3 O'Clock
and at 3:l5 was entirely out. Four bodies
have been brought out, John Whalen,
James Barry, Richard johnson (colored),
and another unknown colored man. 1t is
feared others may have been also burned
to death. There are still nine men miss

The Weekly Cattle Market.
spatch to The LeadeI

CHICAGO. Dec. IA reduction OF
some 1000 head in cattle receipts has
failed to put much life INFO the trade.
The market may be described as slow for
all sorts. A few prime ripe steers sell at
fancy figures each day but such transac-
tons are exceptions and cut no great
figure in the general market. Several
sales have been made up around $3.50.
and the tor Of the market was reached
Wednesday when a bunch of twenty
eight fancy Christmas beeves averaging
l,799 pounds sold at S.. 65. A number
of trades, too, were made at around IS. Is,
although it is now too late TO put fancy
stock on the LONDON market for the
Christmas trade, and too early too meet
the Eastern holiday demand.
Latest private cables also quote refriR-
Grated beef dull at scant 63c per pound
and exporters OF live cattle are in receipt
of very discouraging news, it being al
most impossible to sell at the figures
quoted which range from 90 l03c per
pound estimated dead weight sinking the
offal. Glasgow is a little stronger. tops
selling at 1l4c. At this point sales above
81. so may be said to be scattering and
the larger part off the offerings consist of
the classes OF stock for which prices be-
low 1925 have to be accepted. The pens
have been crowded with natives that
were neither lean nor fat-stock not good
enough for shippers use and not poor
enough to be sold to Gamers at a bargain.
For all grades below choice the market
is dull and unsatisfactory and each night
has found many talr lots unsold. For
half tatted cows, balls, steers and thin
Texans prices have had to be shaded.
Shippers make most of their purchases at
50. 50(94. 25 and the bulk of the sales to
local butchers and canners are at 81. 759
2.25. A few choice cows and heifers
fetch 81. 5002.75 and scalawags go at
Sl.O0@l. 35. Receipts of poor Texans
have fallen off greatly, but the heavy Iun
OF Low grade natives prevents any i'm
provement. Native butchering STUFF is
selling at about the same rang as for
the past month, and there will probably
be no advance until the Texas season
closes. Values are about as low as they
well can go and Gamers are willing to buy
freely at the present ranges. Expert
enced dealers, however, believe that from
this time on decreased offerings of poor
stock may be confidently counted on and
they look for a gradual but steady en-
hancement of values. The annual clear
ing up of scalawag cows and bulls and
stock generally which it will not pay to
carry through till spring is about over, and
the cattle shipped in hereafter are likely
to be in good condition,
That good to best cattle will continue to
command remunerative prices can % be
doubted. OF Western rangers only a few
scattering lunches are now and then ar
irving. Several lots of Colorado Texans
have sold at around $3.50.
Dealers in stoekers and feeders report
moderate offerings with good grades rath-
er stronger. On light stock, however,
EQUATIONS are 10Y about as low as any on
record.
