A SOLEMN OCCASION.
REINTERMENT OF GOV. SEWERS
REMAINS AT KNOXVILLE.
Thirty Thousand People View the Pro-
cesSi0n.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 19.-The
remains of John Sewer arrived here
to-day at II 80 under charge OF Gov,
Taylor and staff and the special Leg
islative committee. The special cars
containing the party were appropri-
ately draped in black and white and
the national colors. All along the
route from Chattanooga to Knoxville
crowds were gathered, and many an
honest yoeman barred his head as the
train sped by. The casket containing
the remains lay in the ladies' parlor at
the Union depot until nearly 3 3o'clock,
when the procession to the courthouse
was ready to start. 1t is estimated
that the procession, which was nearly
a mile long, was viewed by at least
THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE.
Broad, Park, Depot and Gay streets
were blocked, and every window and
available housetop was occupied by
sight.seers. The magnificent casket
was buried beneath floral offerings.
Mrs. M. B. Barry, of Montgomery,
Ala, sent beautiful offering in the
shape of a wreath of immortelles in
closing pipe and hatchet, formed of
pansies and violets. The pall-bearers
were Senator Mynatt, Speaker Clapp,
Gen. Laps McCord, Senator Jarvis,
Representatives Patterson, McNabb
and Andes. The procession was head
ed by battalion of police, followed
by four companies of the Third Regi-
ment, National Guard State of Ten
nessee. Next came ministers and de-
scendants (about thirty OF John Sc
vier's) III carriages.
THEY WERE FOLLOWED
by the funeral car, massive affair,
loaded down with magnolias and
choice flowers from the conservatories
about the city. Behind the car came
the Governor and staff, and following
him various bands of music, Grand
Army OF the Republic, Sons of Vete,
rams, Confederate veterans, Catholic
Knights OF America, Turn Vereini
Fire department and citizens in car
riages and on horseback. Arriving at
the grave, the military companies
formed square. Gov. Taylor deliv-
cred the remains to the people OF
Knoxville in speech of about twenty
minutes.
Gov. Taylor spoke as follows:
Fellow-citizens We bring to you
to-day the dust of Tennessee's first
hero. After a sleep of three-quarters
of century beyond her borders, il

ANrWERp,s HOLOCAUST.
The Total of the Death Roll Is
13S

ANTWERP, Sept. 12.-Nothing re-
mains of the cartridge factory in which
the explosion occurred on Friday last.
The village of AustruWell, which was
situated 200 metres from where the fac
tory stood, and which consisted of about
forty houses, has vanished. The dy-
draulic machines used in the dry dock
were DESTROYED with the exception of
the cranes. A number of merchandise
depots, including the Prussian stores,
which were constructed of iron, were
overturned by the force of the
explosion and an immense quantity
of goods was ruined. Two stained
glass windows in the cathedral were
broken by conclusion, but the building
is intact. For distance of 500 to 1000
meters the windows of houses were
shattered. Not drop of the burning
petroleum got into the docks, the DEPICTS
being surrounded by a high embank-
ment. According to the official report,
135 persons were killed, 20 are missing,
100 were seriously injured and 200 were
slightly injured. The story that several
British tourists we're killed by the eX-
plOSion is not true.
The governors official report to the minis
ter Of the interior says that nothing has as
yet been clearly established regarding the
origin of the explosion. After referring
gratefully to those who have assisted the
sufferers by the disaster the governor says
that the cartridge factory worked three
months without license. when it was closed

whether the city authorities inspection was
adequate or not. When the explosion &C.
Cured an inquiry was proceeding with refer
ence to an accident that had resulted from
the unauthorized introduction of steam
engine into the factory.

WHAT G. A. z. MEN THINK.

Washington Pierce-If Grant was presi-
dent, Tanner would remain as commissioner
of Pensions. | do not think he should be
asked to resign before the senate committee
on investigation has reported.
Past COMMANDMENT Chief Judge Real
think there is no disposition on the part of
the G. A r. to take sides between the presi-
dent and the commissioner of pensions, al
though the national encampment did eX-
press confidence in Mr. Tanner. I have been
a personal friend of his for years. and feel
sorry to see him i'll the present circum-
stances. But you know when the president
of the United States and the commissioner
of pensions can't get along. the president
can't get out and the commissioner will
have to.
Capt Terrell-Witbout going into the mer-
its of the case, l should say that he has shown
rather questionable soldieTly qualities to re-
treat while under fire.
Sheriff Eye, past state commander - It
seems to me probable that in his interest to
do all that he could for the veterans. Com
missioner Tanner might have gone too far,
but think he meant to do What was right.
L. A. Grant. past adult lt-The national en-
eampment of G. A. r gave Commissioner
Tanner an endorsement, but not such a one
and that he had the interests OF the old
soldiers at heart, but was indiscrete from
the fact that he talked too much. His re-
moval will in no wise affect the members Of
the G. A K. Under the circumstances, I
think his removal is for the best.
Col. W. 7. B. McIntyre-My impression
has been all the time that the corporal, i'll his
anxiety TO give full justice to all old soldiers,
has over-reached his authority and made
ever, and that removing him now is an in

AN INSULT TO CHRISTIANS.
Cardinal Gibbons Wrath at the
Bruno Episode.

Bruno Episode.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. IL. - Cardinal
Gibbons has issued a pastoral letter
calling attention to the allocution OF
Pope Leo on the unwilling recently
of a monument in Rome to the
memory of Bruno. The letter will be read in
the Catholic churches next Sunday. The
cardinal says:
A mingled feeling of righteous wrath and
deep sympathy was bred in every Catholic
heart when the news came that upon pub
lie square, in Rome, impiOuS men dared to
unvel the statue Of an apostate
monk. Dragging the memory of a
wild theorizer, a shameless writer, and denier
of the divinity of Christ, from the obscurity
of a grave that had for three centuries closed
upon its disgrace, these men, backed by.mere
brute, force, have set upon a pedestal
infamous Bruno. Such a proceeding
is a Palpable and fragrant outrage, not
alone upon the Catholic but upon the whole
Christian world. Its animus is clear in the
unchristian and defiant language employed;
the unwilling of statue of a man whose
whole life breathed cowardice, pride and de-
tiance of lawfully constituted authority.
Theirs is not the action of decent,
honorable, but misguided men, calmly,
and with due regard to the feelings
Of others, promulgating new belief or in
Producing new cult. Their attempt is not
so much to honor Bruno, as to insult and
Yilify the vicar of Jesus Christ and his de-
voted children throughout Christendcm.
Indeed, their aim is higher STILL They defy
and insult not alone his vicar, but our di-
vine Lord himself From every land
they have chosen as the committee to further
the movement, the champions of Atheism,
the wOuld-be deStrOyers of the very fOunda-
ions OF Christianity. 1t IS proper that
the Christian world, and especially
this portion where the term relig
ious freedom is understood in a
sober, Christian sense, should brand with
their indignant scOrn such action as this.
We are not yet ready for professions in which
the red and black flags Of revolutionists and
anarchists are defantly Haunted"

SAN Francisco. Sept 12.-The session of
the National conference of charities and
corrections was called to order by Bishop
Gillespie this morning, and, after prayer,
by Rev. DR.. Wendt F. II. Wines, Of Illinois,
submitted the report of the committee on re-
ports of states. He summarized the condi-
ton of the various commonwealth unrepre
sented in the convention, and then
called upon the delegates present to
report upon the condition of charities.
and corrections in their respective states.
Reports were accordingly made by Mrs.
Joseph 5. Spear Jr., of California; Alexander
Johnson, of Indiana; Mrs. Jacobs and Mr.. APP
pie, of Colorado, and II. II. Hart, Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Harris report was that prepared by
John d. Ludden, of St. Paul who is the cor
responding secretary in this state for the ma
tonal conference. This report gives the esti
mated population of the state at 100000,
and sets forth that fifty out of eighty counties
have county jails. Counties not having iails
board prisoners in other counties. Each city
and village maintains a lookup. Paupers
are a charge upon the several counties
in which they have a legal residence,
unless otherwise provided by law. Fourteen
counties have the town system of poor re-
lief, whereby paupers are made a charge
upon the several cities. villages and town
ships. There are twenty-five pOorhouses
maintained in the whole state, the aggregate
number of inmates being less than 800.
Counties having no poorhouse board out in
door paupers i'll families. The average num-
Der of insane persons for the year was .696,
and the cost per capita is $40. The average
number of inmates of poorhouses was 295,
and the per capita cost 500. The estimated
number of cases of outdoor relief was LOO,
and the total expenditure S24, 800.

EDISON 8BROAD.

The French have not been addicted
to liOniZing people from this side of the
water, but they have let themselves
loose over EDISON. He is all the rage
in Paris, and science, station and fash
ion all genu1ect before him. But he
shows his good sense by keeping his
n ad level. He has the freedom of the
ci ty and of its most select preserves.
He is even allowed to look at the works
of the old masters and say what he
really thinks of them. He is frank
enough to call most of their productions
inferior to those of the present time,
and in fact !'wretched old things"
Others have felt an inward shock over
an involuntary suspicion of that sort,
and resolved to crush out such impeach-
ment of their artistic taste. Beyond
the mellowing of time EDISON sees lit
tie to admire in the antique stuff" 81
like modern pictures, and think nothing
of the pictures in the LOuvres." He
will do good service to modern art and
artists in SCATTERING the costly fad for
old masters

the salaries of the president nor these of the
professors have been cut, and several new
appointments have been made. The
indications point to the usual num-
Der of students, and the course
of instruction will be given, as announced
in the programme. AS to the finances of the
university, it is no secret that The income de-
rived from the Baltimore Il Ohio rail-

years, the income from investments

inclusive of the library. 1t is safe to say
that within six months the Johns Hopkins
university has received from the various

expected. The national character of the inSH-

receive important aid from a distance. 1t

TOO EAR AHEAD.

The death of five members Of con-
greSs since their election, and some
months before they had an opportunity
to take their seats, adds to the peril
nency of the objection 10 the election of
members of congress year and month
in advance of the regular meeting of
that body. The number of deaths may
be more than the average, but there is
nothing surprising in it. a more forci-
BILE objection is in the fact that in SO
long a period questions of public inter
est take new forms, and those who elect
congressman may want different poll
cies enforced from those the member
was elected Oh. Present illustration of
this may be seen in connection with the
wool and iron manufactures of the East.
Reduction is now wanted where only
high duties were urged year ago.
There are no practical difficulties in the
way of members entering upon their du
ties, even from the most remote dis
tricts, month after the election.
