tege great concourse of people had gath
cred at the church, and long before the GER

able foot of space not reserved was occupied.

Miserere, the casket, completely covered
with white bloom, upon which rested a
sheaf of ripened wheat, was borne down
the center aisle.
THE GRIEF-sTRICKEN FAMILY.
Mrs. Blaine, leaning heavily upon the arm
of Col Coppingor, closely followed the bear
ers of the casket. Secretary Blaine. with
one Of his daughters upon his arm, came
next, and they were followed in turn by
James g. Blaine, Jr., with the other sister,

CONCESSIONS Made to Both Parties In
His Modified Rules.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Speaker Reed is
hampered in his own dictatorship by being
obliged to manage the republicans with
one hand, while be slaps the democrats with
the other. The squeamishness of the re-
publicans prevented him from counting a
quorum on seating Smith. It also prevents
MIN from going on much longer without at
least bringing in code OF rules II is prob
able that he will bring in his proposed new
code tomorrow. To that end be held meet
lngs OF the COMMITTEES Of rules this morning
and this afternoon at his room.
CONCESSIONS MADE.
AT these meetings he made some conces-
slons to DIR. Carlisle and some to the repub-
hcans, SO the innovations in the new code
promise to be less radical than at first pro-
posed by Mr.. Reed. Riders on appropria-
tIoD bills seem to have been abandoned, for
example, but the restrictions upon publish
ing remain about the same. Mr. Reed has
so far succeeded in keeping out an incorpo-
ration in the rules of bis ruling counting a
quorum, as desired by many of the leading
republicans, who think this would in a way
validate Mr.. Reeds doubtful course. MIR.
Reed proposes to keep his ruling distinct
from the rules.
REED MAD.
The democrats worried Mr.. Reed to-doy.
They not only made him back down twice
on his arbitrary ruling, but compelled him
to agree to prompt report Of the rules in
consideration of a cessation of their attacks.
Mr.. Heed was in an ugly mood when the
House ad journed, and said some rough
things of the democrats.

CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
Pledger Hires a Hall-A Vixen scalds
q Negro's Eyes Out.


ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 4.-To-night Bill
Pledger hired hall aud made an infiamma-
tory address to a negro audience concern
ing the wrongs TO which he supposed the
colored race to be subjected. He whooped
up the dark-skinned contingent for all he
was worth, and finally inquired whether
they were dogs or men. As one man, his
hearers repudiated the idea that they were
less than men. Pledger, encouraged by this,
harangued them at great length.
soALDED HIS EYES OUT.
Fanny Love, a negro woman, last night
threw pan OF scalding water in the face of
William Curry and burned the skin off his
face so completely that by the time she got
through with him he was almost white.
The vixen scalded Curry's eyes out.

ton began its annual session here to-day

FLAGS AT HALF-MAsT.
Tho flag on the state capitol has been
flying at half-mast all day, and the ex-
ecutive offices have been closed out of re-
spect to the memory of the late Secretary
of State, Nathan q. Barnett Gen. Cook,
his successor, reached the city tonight, and
viii qualify in the morning.
THE NUN OF KENMARE.
A most interesting character has made
her appearance In Atlanta, coming from
the north for her health She is Miss
Frances Clare Cussack, otherwise known as
the celebrated nun of Kenmare. Miss Gus
sack Is first cousin to Bishop Garret of the
Episcopal diocese of Texas. She is now
nearly GO years old. When quite youthful
she entered the sisterhood OF the Catholic
church in England, and devoted her life
and fortune of 100000 to the training of
young girls. Later she abandoned the Cath
olic church and became a protestant, chiefly
because she found herself unable to sub
scribe to the doctrine of the Pope's infalli-
bility.
HAD TO LEAVE THE CHURCH
After che had devoted years in the work
she had undertaken, she says she found the
Catholic church unwilling TO assist her in it
because the education of the lower classes
was not consistent with the Catholic idea
She left the church three years ago, but for
several years previous had thought Of
severiug her connection with it. She states
back was her discovery that the
bishop under whom she served
insisted on devoting to the maintenance of
English converts money subscribed for
those in America. There we're other reasons
which induced her TO abandon her early
faith. She has pat herself in communica-
tion with the Protestant ministers in this
city, and will probably lecture under their
auspices in the near future. Her subject
will probably be Catholicism and why she
abandoned it.

Secretary Noble made the President very
cordial toward Capt Bridges, and he
was promised the consul generalship to
Mexico, with the understanding also that
