Last Rites Of Earth Over the ex- Confeder-

Last Rites Of Earth Over the ex-Confeder-
ate President.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.-Although
the weather on Tuesday was unusually
hot the city hall was crowded all day
with people of every degree, all anxious
Floral offerings were brought by the
wagon load, and all committees were
busily engaged in preparing for the
morrow's funeral. At 10 o'clock the Or
phans from the various Catholic asylums
formed in solid columns of two, and COM
manded by sweet-faced sisters, marched
solemnly up the main entrance of the
hall, and were conducted into the ch am
Der of death by Sergeant-at-Arms Hur-
ley, who has been constantly on duty
since the remains were brought to the
hall. Later in the day other societies
visited the hall in body to view the
remains.
THE FUNERAL
was the largest ever seen in this section,
and the religious ceremonies were of the
most impressive character. Assembling
at IL a. m. the representatives of the
clergy of all denominations met in
one of the committee rooms. The Epis-
copal clergy, preceded by the choir of
st. PauPs Episcopal church. consisting
of thirty men and boys robed in cassocf
and surplice entered the mortuary
chamber. Two prelates of the Episcopal
church were present clad in full vest
ments. Representatives from the Catho-
lie, Presbyterian, Methodist, Congrega-
tional, Lutheran and other denomina-
tions were in attendance, and as far as
possible took part in the ceremonies. The
choir ranged themselves at the head of
the casket. the Rev. James Bakeville,
rector of Trinity chapel, commenced the
Office of the burial of the dead as pro-
vided in the book of common PRAYER.
Rev. j. +. Martin having read the psalm
of the day, DIR. T. r. Markham read the
lesson for the occasion taken from ST..
PauPs second epistle to the Corinthians.
Succeeding this Bishop Gallagher gave q
brief extemporaneous address. The
choir at this point sung Keats funeral
anthem, Yea, though I walk through
the Valley of the Shadow" The Apos-
ties creed was then recited by the entire
audience led by Rector E. Thompson, of
Biloxi, Miss. Prayer was also said by
Father Hubert, 1.-The soldier priest" This
closed the ceremonies at the hall. At
the cemetery the services were in strict
accordance with the Episcopal ritual and
only participated in by the bishops and
clergy of that church.
Bishops Hugh Miller Thompson, of
Mississippi, and Gallagher of Louisiana,
were present and also prelates from
other Southern states. The procession
was in strict accordance with the rules
laid down for military obsequies and
was under the direct command of Brig.
Gen. John J. Glynn. The caisson on
which the remains were conveyed to the
cemetery was drawn by twelve black
horses.

The Flood stricken City the
Scene OF Another Great
Calamity.
An Alarm Of Fire Causes a
Great Stampede at the
Theatre, :
And In the Rush Twelve People
Are Killed and Many
Others Injured.

PTTTsBURa, Pa, Dec. ia special
from Johnstown, Pa, to the Times says:
An alarm of fire was sounded at 1890 p.
m. 1t was in DR.. Wakefield's stable in
Kernville. The "Uncle Toms Cabin
company was playing in the Parks
Opera House, and when the alarm was
sounded the whole audience of 900 per-
sons jumped to their feet and made q
dash for the stairway, and fearful jam
and crushing was the result.
THE DEATH LIST.
The following were killed: F. Bigler,
Miss Clara Burns, Mrs. Nester, George
Horner, Charles Friant. George Ston-
akor, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa; John Carl,
William Miller (colored); A. Fleishour,
Isaac Folor, Lizzie Claycomb, unknown
woman.
Seriously injured are: Charles
Vaughn, John Weimer, Albert Owens,
Mrs. Lister, Mrs. Platt and Richard
Worthington and about twenty more
slightly injured, such as sprains and
bruises. When the panic occurred q
large number of persons thinking the
fire was in the opera house tried to get
into the theater, making another panic,
and it was necessary for the firemen TO
turn the hose on the crowd to get them
away from the door. The screams were
terrible, and it was shocking to see
small children knocked down by big
men and trampled upon. The theater
has always been noted as death trap,
and was
CONDEMNED TWELVE YEARS AGO,
but the other theater was washed
away in the food and this one has been
in use. The manager tried to quiet the
crowd, but it was of no use. One man
jumped from the third story window and
was seriously injured and many more
would have jumped but for few cooler
heads. 1t is reported on good authority
that the
POLICE CLUBBED SEVERAL TO DEATH.
The killed and injured were all taken 70
Henderson's morgue where they were
identified. Coroner Evans and jury
viewed the remains of the dead and rem
dered a decision that the victims came
to their death by being crushed and
mangled in ParkeS' opera house,

that he was unable to rally. He passed
quietly away, the passage from life to
death being so faint that the anxious
watchers were scarcely able to tell when
death came.
Biographical.
jefferson Davis was born on June 3,
1903, in Todd county, Kentucky. He
was educated at Pennsylvania college,
Kentucky. and was appointed by Presi-
dent Monroe a cadet in the military
academy at West Point, where he grad
uated in 1928. He was in the army
seven years, and he fought against the
Indians in the Black Hawk war of 1881
80, and against the Comanches and
Pawnees in 1884. In 1885 he married a
daughter of Zachery Taylor, then colo
mel in the army and afterward president
of the United States. Davis became a
cotton planter in Mississippi and spent
several years in study in order to fit him
self for public life. In 1S45 ne was
elected a representative to congress and
took seat as Democrat. He soon dis
tinguished himself as a speaker on
military affairs, as well as upon
miscellaneous topics. He served un-
der his father-in-law in the Mexi-
can war as colonel of the Mississippi vol
unteers. The war over, he was ap-
pointed in 1847, to fill an unexpired term
in the senate of the United States, and
in 1S4S he was elected senator for full
term. In 1850 he was reelected. In
September 1851, his famous contest with
Henry S. Foote for the governorship of
Mississippi occurred. He was beaten by
800 votes, but he gained largely ON his
ticket, for, two months before, the
"Unionists" had carried the state by a
majority of $500.
President Pierce appointed Davis Sec
retary of war, which position he held
from 1868 to 1857. He proved himself
an able administrator and introduced
many reforms into the army. 1t was he
who introduced the MIME ball and rifled
muskets and pistols. He revised the
army regulations, strengthened the from
tier and sea coast defenses, and was the
first to introduce the system of explora-
tions in the western part Of the conti-
nent for geographical purposes and for
determining the best route for railway
to the Pacific coast. On retiring he was
reelected to the senate, where he soon
made his mark as the leader of the
Southern wing of the Democratic party
He was candidate for the presidency in
the Democratic convention which met
in 1860, and after the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln he identified himself with
the Southern movement which resulted
in the war of secession. 1t is needless to
go into the history of the war which fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Davis died as he had lived since
the war-an unrepentant rebel, and his
political disabilities were never removed
In 1887 he published his history of the
rebellion.

Of &82, 900.
s WAsHINGToN,-De &C. E. Silcott,
cashier of the sergeant alarms Office,
is an embezzler to the amount of $S2, 900,
$72, 900 of which was government money
which he had drawn as salaries of MEM
bers of the house. He left the city Nom
day saying he was going to New York
to collect note. His continued absence
raised suspicion and an examination Of
his accounts showed his defalcation.
Sergeant-at-Arms Leedom had $4,000
private funds in the Office safe, which
are missing. Silcott had been q heavy
patron of the races and was fond Of the
company of fast women. Before leav-
ing Washington he took up about $14, 900
Of forged notes which he had banked,
evidently to destroy all chances Of his
being extradited. '.aE
A house investigating committee was
appointed which reported that Silcotfs
bondsmen were not liable for his defalca-
tion, as members of the house had no
authority for drawing their salaries
through him. In doing SO he was only
acting as their agent and not as agent OF
the government.

A few farmers in each county, can
readily SOW an acre or two of winter
wheat this fall. The results OF expert
ments already tried are SO favorable
that it seems reasonably certain that
winter wheat will prove a success on
all old lands, on many Of which spring
wheat does not thrive. II has been
found good crop on the farms in the
older counties of Minnesota, and is now
grown almost to the exclusion of spring
wheat on lands once devoted to the lat
ter. If winter wheat can be grown ex-
tensively on prairie farms, the farm
work in seeding and harvest is divided,
and the chances of a poor crop greatly
reduced. Wheat is, and for many years
must be, the main dependence as cash
producing crop on most Northwestern
farms, and if wheat can be grown, it
will double the chances of good average
results, as favorable conditions for the
fall wheat may be unfavorable for the
spring, and the reverse may be true at
other seasons. In most seasons, win
ter wheat maturing early would escape
the unfavorable July and August wealth
er, which often blasts spring wheat
when at the critical milk stage.
