Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE, May 1.-The funeral OF
John Guy, the colored boy, who was
burned to death on Wednesday by his
clothes igniting from a pile of burning
rubbish, will be held this afternoon at 3
o'clock. Services will be held at the
house at o'clock and burial will be In
the Mt. Salem M. e. Chgrchyard. The
funeral is expected to be very large
one. because Of the suddenness Of the
boys death. Undertaken Clewell, who
has charge Of the remains says that 1t
Is one Of the worst cases he ever had.
The body Is burned to a crisp on one
side and the bones are exposed. On the
other, and In fact, all over the remaining
portions, the skin has fallen of. He
thinks II remarkable how the boy could
have lived so long in that condition, but
says that he must have been dead to all
pain. The boy knew all that was going
on and recognized his relatives to the
last moment,

poor beginning for the month of

price jumped to SEQ per hundred soon
after daybreak. and it is probable that 1t
will remain there the remainder of this
week. MAY" shad, which can bs dis
