Funeral of the Unknown Man Killed
 On the New England Road.

On the New England Road.
 The remains of the unfortunate vic tim killed by the cars Monday, were buried this afternoon in the town ceme- tery. Mourners there were none and only the sound of the shovels and the falling clay broke the stiffness around the solitary grave. Who the man is will probably never Ee known. Save the few articles found in his pockets and a tattoo mark forming the letter ''B" on one arm, there is absolutely no clue.
 Last night a woman residing at the West End called at the undertaking rooms, in pitiful state of mind. From the description of the dead man printed in the papers she felt sure that the vic- ti.n was her husband whom she has not seen since Sunday. After viewing the remains the lady was still in a state of uncertainty but upon examining the clothing and effects of the dead she knew that the victim was not her hus. band, and wept for joy.

WORLD OF SPORTS

Jesse Burkett will certainly not make an enviable record in the box this season, though he looms away up as hitter. Were ''the Jap" given his regular turn in the points since the opening of the season he would be one of the New York clubs mainstays now, but lack of steady work in the box is fatal to Jesse owing to his wildness.
 Umpire Lynch, of the National league, has hardly more than a speaking ac- quaintance with any of the players of that organization. He does not want to become better acquainted-in fact, he rather holds aloof from the members of the profession, and never puts up at the same hotel the visiting team does. Does not this to great extent account for his success?

 Mir. Webb did most of the talking. He complimented the fremen upon their fidelity. but MT. Sargent was non- committal in his reply.

 No conclusion was reached and an other meeting is being held day. Messrs. Powderly, Hayes, Holland, Wright, Sweeney, Sargent, Howard aud Wilkinson are the oonferees.
 Though, as stated, no definite con slusion has been reached by the confer snce, the remarks and demeanor of the conferees create an impression that the mooted general strike on the Vanderbilt lines is favored and is likely to be or dered.
