ional the hymn, Lead, Kindly Light"
The Rev. DR.. George William Douglas rector
of st. Johns Protestant Episcopal Church,
then began the Episcopal burial service, "
am the resurrection and the life" At the
conclusion the choir sang the hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" The Scripture lesson
was read by the Rev. Mr. Elliott pastor of
the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church.
It began at the twentieth verse Of the fif-
teenth chapter of First Corinthians. The

A prayer, read by DR.. Douglas, concluded
the services.
The President with Secretary Tracy on
his arm, first passed out Of the room, and
next to them came Mr.. Frank Tracy, who
was so overcome that he had to be supported
by two of the ushers. Following the pro-
cession come the choir, singing as reces-
sional hymn, "Abide with me, fast falls the
cventide; the darkness deepens, Lord with
me abide"
The bodies were removed to the hearses
and the funeral procession was formed, the
cortege moving slowly to Rock Creek Gene
terry, just beyond the Soldiers Home, where
the bodies were placed in a receiving vault
to await Secretary Tracys determination In
regard to their permanent resting place.
Secretary Tracy did not go to the ceme-
terry, as it was feared the task might prove
too much for his strength. The President
occupied carriage with Mr.. Frank Tracy.
A long line Of carriages containing nearly
all of those who attended the services at the
White House followed the remains to the
cemetery.

ROASTED TO DEATH.
Result of Drunken Revelry Among
Polish Miners.

Result of Drunken Revelry among
Polish Miners.
In the village of Marshwood, Penn, where
houses are built in blocks of ten by the
Moosic Coal Company for the residences OF
their miners and laborers, four lives have
been sacrificed in a fire resulting from the
carelessness of drunken jewellers, and ten
houses were destroyed.
There was a christening at the residence OF
q Polander named Pulaski. 1t was largely
attended by the Poles Of the community, who
had gathered to make merry over the NAM
ain village. Whisky flowed freely. A
dance was inaugurated and during the
drunken festivities q kerosene lamp was
overturned which fell on the floor and ex-
ploded.
There was no one sober enough to I'M
mediately extinguish the flames and the
burning oil ran about the room ignltlng
everything combustible. In a few minutes
the building was in flames.
From one dwelling to another the flames
quickly spread. The fire was quicker thar
those who endeavored to awaken the sleepers
and it spread with such rapidity that In less
than fifteen minutes the entire block was
enveloped. The men, women and children
rushed from the burning building IN their
night clothes, being unable to save any of
their effects.
The house Of Joseph Strauss was in flames
before the rescuing parties arrived. Alter
considerable effort the occupants were
aroused and all were taken out alive except
Mrs. Strauss and her two children, who oc-
cupied room in the upper story. Several
men ran into the burning apartment, but
were forced back by the fierce heat.
While the attempt was being made to save
the lives of these people, another band OF
rescuers went into an adjoining building and
attempted in vain to save a Polander named
Mike Switz. BE was asleep when the fire
broke out, and it is not known that he ever
awakened His blackened and charred body
was taken from the ruins yesterday, as were
also the other three bodies.
AS all the possessions of the occupants OF
the burned block are destroyed, those who's"
lives are saved are destitute, many of them
not having garment to cover themselves
The Moosic Coal Company sent temporary
relief to the stricken people.

BLOT IN A CHURCH.
A Pastors Personal Remarks Cause
a General Fight.

During service in Virginia County
church about thirty miles from Sparta, N. C.,
Rev. Joseph NJ. Stroke, in the course OF his
remarks. said: There is man in this CON
gregation who is so mean to his wife
chat it is a wonder God does not rain
down fire and birthstone upon his head and
consume him.
The preacher pointed his finger toward
Thomas Coleman, who occupied a seat near
the pulpit and as he did SO that individual
iumped to his feet to inquire if the parson
meant to be personal in his remarks. No
sooner was Coleman on his feet than half a
dozen deacons were up demanding that he
sit down. Everything was in an uproar and
an attempt was made to eject Coleman:
Coleman resisted and, seizing a stick OF
wood lying near the stove he began to WELD
it hard and fast, knocking four men to the
floor and killing Jeremiah Ferguson. One
man wrenched the club from Coleman and
dealt him a fatal blow across the head.
The riot lasted six minutes and was par
ticipated in by many of the congregation,
who used clubs as weapons. Besides the
two men killed. three others were badly
wounded.
