The Creditors Amer Him.

Levi Hancock, who lately occupied the
Ross house at Milford, is Just now trying
to dodge an army of creditors. Everything
that he had in his late quarters was bought
from the confiding tradesmen. Hancock
has leased the old Lee premises opposite
the Ross house, and proposes to run an
active opposition to John Beck. While
Hancock was moving his goods and chat
tells across the street he was descended
upon by perfect swarm of creditors with
writs of attachment. Sheriff Bradley. OF
Milford has in turn been served with writs
of replevin by the different parties to
whom Hancock had given bills of sale.
The whole affair is greatly mixed up, and
furnishes fruitful theme for the Milford
gossips. -Bridgeport Farmer.

JOHN BOYLE O,REILLY BURIED


Mourners From All Ranks and
Glasses Lay Away the Poets Re-
mains Many Beautiful Floral
Tributes - The Body Temporarily
Laid I'm n Tomb.
Bos-oN, Aug. 13.-The remains of John
Boyle 0'Reilly lay in state in st. Mary's
church, Charlestown, from p. IN. yester-
day until this morning when the funeral
took place. From one end to the
other of the wide sanctuary were stationed
artistic floral tributes, radiant with beauti-
full colors. Many of these were SO massive
that they partially hid from view the altar
behind them. AT 10 o'clock to-day, the
hour set for the funeral to begin, Winthrop
and Warren streets, in the vicinity of the
church, We're packed with hundreds of peo-
pie anxious to gain admittance. When the
invited ones and representatives of organi-
cations were seated few from the throng
without were permitted to enter and fill
the remaining pews. The rest crowded
about the windows and the doors, and it
took several policemen to prevent them
from crowding into the church. The coffin
rested in the middle aisle in front of the
altar, and many viewed the remains before
the ceremonies commenced.
The services consisted of a solemn re-
QUEEN high mass, Rev. ]. w. Mcmahon,
pastor of the church, celebrant, assisted by
DR.. O'Reilly of Detroit, deacon; Rev.
Richard Maggie, chancellor of the arch
diocese, subdeacon; Rev. ]. w. Millerick,
master of ceremonies. Rev. Father Fulton,
S. j., president of Boston college, pro-
nouneed the eulogy, lauding the dead for
his devotion to human freedom, his kind
ness, courtesy and forgiving spirit. At
the close of the service the crowds outside
were allowed to pass through the church
and view the remains. Eight employees
of the Boston Pilot then bore the coffin
to the hearse and the funeral cavalcade,
one of the largest ever seen in
Boston streets, proceeded to Mount Cav
airy cemetery, where the last offices of the
dead were repeated, and the body laid in
tomb until the family decide as to its
final disposition. No funeral that ever be-
fore took place in the environment of
Bunker Hill drew together SO varied a
gathering of mourners. The gathering in
the church was made up largely of clergy
men and notable persons who had been as
sociated with the deceased t-patriot.
| Over 100 members of all the orders of the
Catholic priesthood within and without the
sanctuary participated in the requiem SER
