GEN. JoHNsToN's FUNERAL
Services Are of the Simplest Character.
Remains Taken to Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The funeral
services over the remains Of the late
Gen. Joseph +. Johnston, almost the
last Of the great commanders OF the
COnfederacy, took place in this city this
morning. BY special request Of the
deceased, the ceremonies were d"N1.a
of Ostentation or unneceSsaiy lormality,
and the simplicity Of the services were
in keeping with the character Of the
man. There was nothing to distinguish
the funeral from private interment,
beyond the large attendance OF dis
tinguiShed persons.
There were no services at the resi-
dence OF the deceased, but just before
II o'clock the remains were taken
quietly to st. Johns Episcopal Church,
opposite Lafayette Square, accompan-
led by the family and near friends.
The funeral party arrived at the
church at II o'clock. 1t was met by
the honorary pail bearers. The active
body bearers consisted OF members Of
the ex-COnfederate Association OF this
city, all men who fought under john
ston during the war. Drawn up in
double line along the sidewalk were
about 100 men Of Robert E. Lee Camp
Confederate Veterans, without uniform,
and they stood with gray heads barred
to the inclement air as the body was
borne between their ranks.
The casket was plain one, covered
with black cloth and without ornamen-
taton. A silver plate bore the inscrip-
tion;

FUGITIvEs FROM JUSTICE
Who Land IN Great Britain---How They
Can be Detained.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The De-
partment Of State has issued bulletin
in regard to the provisional detention OF
which the following is a copy:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WAsuNGToN. d. c., March II, 1891. \
The Minister Of the United States, in
London informs the department that in
ouiries are frequently made at the Le-
CATION by officers OF the London police,
who have received kilograms from po-
lice authorities or detective agencies IN
the United States, asking for the ar
rest and detention OF alleged iugitlyes
from justice.
In Great Britain a provisional war
rant OF arrest Of fugitive from justice
may be obtained from a judicial maglS-
trate, but it is requested that the appIl-
cant shall have the sanction OF the Tor
eign government. When, therefore, the
London police receive such a telegram
as has been described they at once APP
ply to the Minister of the United States
to ascertain whether he will authorize
proceedings before magistrate to be
taken.
Ministers OF the United States are not
authorized to sanction requests for the
the arrests OF fugitives from justice
without the Instructions OF this depart
ment. When, therefore, the Minister
of the United States in London Is asked
to sanction a complaint before magis-
trate based upon request made by po-
lice authorities or detective agencies IN
this country, he is obliged to refuse.
The proper course i'm such case Is
for the authorities of the particular
district in which the oiGenSe was com
mtted, to Apply to the Governor oi the
State, through whom the application
FOR the intervention OF the Ohlted
States. or of its representatives, must
come. The only exception to this rule Is
the city and county Of New York, the
prosecuting attorney OF which Is per
mitted to apply for provisional dete9-
tion directly to this department, al
though the formal application Tor a
requisition for surrender must come
through the Governor OF the state.
In applying this document TO secure
the provisional detention OF fugitive,
in Great Britain, the charge al crime
must be briefly and clearly stated, ana
unless there is some witness IN Oreat
Britain to identify the fugitive de-
scription OF him should be iurnlshed
either TO this department or 10 the
London police. A positive assurance
must also be given to this department
that warrant has been issued for his
arrest at the place where the crime was
bommitted This is necessary allesa-
tion under the British statute

MURDER MYSTERY.
TAB SUPPOSED MURDERER OF CARL RUrT-
NIGER LOCATED
Ia Rochester, New Hampshirs-He Comes as a
stranger and Lodges IN the Village Hotel-His
Queer Actions Excite Commsnt-lnspeci-
or ByrHes Detectives on bis Track.

BosroN, March 94.-A Globe special
from Rochester, y. H., says the evil
dence appears 20 be strong that William
Wright, the supposed murderer OF Carl
Ruttinger. al Tottenville, Stateu'ISland,
is alive and has recently been stopping
at Rochester under the name OF Gail
Hamilton Allen. According TO the
Globe story, ON February -, man
closely answering Wright'S description,
applied at the house of John Trickey
for board, saying that he had just arrived
that morning at Portland from Scot
land. Mr. Trickey took him in and
assigned him TO "a room with young
man named James Gilleland. For three
days he did not 20 out of doors, and he
procured New York and Boston papers.
lie acted strangely and was apparently
lab0ring under great mental excitement.
one evening, said Mr.. Trickey, Allen
sat iu the parior, and my three-year-old
boy was beside him. / noticed he was
tying his hands behind him with piece
OF cord, and when he had done SO and
the little fellow was struggling | re-
mOnStrated, and eXcuSing his action,
Allen said be was just doing IL 10 see
what the movements OF the muscle were
when 4 person thus tied was trying to
free himself. Ruttinger, when found
ON the Staten Island shore murdered,
had his arms bound behind him.
When a fortnight had passed, during
which time Allen had scarcely been out
OF the house, except az night to 90 TO
the pOstoilice, Mr. Trickey asked him 10
pay his board. Allen promised TO do so
later, and showed him some English
money, which he explained he did not
want 90 get converted into American
money at Rochester owing 10 the great
sacrifice iu exchange he would have TO
make The same night, however, he ieft
the house and had never returned.
His room mate, Gilleland, stated
that Allen frequently talked in his
sleep. crying, "Oh, why did | do
10. ." iucohorent words which created the
impression that he had something on his
mind. In conversation, Allan told him
one day he was never in any part OF the
United States, and the next day told Of
experiences in New York city which
proved coucluSively that he had been in
that city. One day he and Allan rode
past Nutter's woods, where the Sawtelle
murder was committed, and Allen APP
peared very nervous when the
place was pointed out TO him. He
said 10 was horrible the way
hang suspects OF murder
on circumstantial evidence alone, but
I'M Scotland direct evidence was neceS-
sary for conviction. a singular fact is
that Allen was familiar with the Saw
telle case To- an extent that would have
been impossible in a stranger just land
ed iu this country. IL is stated that
Inspector Byrnes' detectives are vigor-
ously following up the clue discovered
here, and additional developments are
liable 20 occur.

Charles Chickerlng Dead.

New YORK, March 94.-Charles f..
Chickering. the well-known piano
manufacturer, died last evening At his
residence. No. Fifth avenue. Many
members Of his family were present to
sooth his last moments.
An illustration Of Mr.. Chickering's :
business integrity is found in the case
of the miSer Paine, who, while diStruSt-
ing all the world, did not hesitate TO
deposit his hoardings in the care of Mr..
Chickering, never asking for receipts.
Finally Paine died, and then, to the
surprise OF every one, the veteran piano
dealer announced that he had no less
than $500. 600 lying IN his safe, which
had been left in his care by Paine. This
sum Mr.. Chickering. who might have
kept every penny Of it without any one
being the wiser, turned over intact &c

THE MARKET STREET BRIDGE.
The City VIII Have to Purchase or Con-
denim Land.

A communication was received from
the Board OF Public Works, in the Sec
ond Branch, in relation TO the wall at
the north end OF the Market street
bridge. The Board stated 1t had sup
posed the land upon which it was was
intended to construct the retaining wall
belonged TO the city, but an eXamina-
ton Of the records showed the land be-
longed to Miss +. V. Miller. The Board
submitted it would not be good policy 10
build wall along the line Of the street,
as the excavation would be forty feet
deep, and might endanger the street by
a slip, and also called attention to the de
STABILITY Of construction along the edge
OF the water by the statement that II
would be but a few years until a
new bridge would have 10 be constructed
the full width OF the street. The Board
asked that authority be given to con
demn or otherwise acquire Us feet OF
ground, and the resolution to that effect
was unanimously adopted.
In the First Branch there was lively
and extended debate over the matter,
and the body finally adopted a sub
stiLute for the resolution sub"sittad by
the Il. p. w. relating TO the land for
the retaining wall, the substitute ask
ing the Board TO endeavor TO obtain the
ground without cost to the city, or in
lieu OF that, TO try some other plan.
The Second Branch concurred, but in
moment Mr.. Irwin said Engineer White
had informed him all plans had been
tried, and to adopt the resolution would
only delay matters.
Engireer White made statement
that the estate had been asked TO put a
price on the land, but they had refused.
The Board had then asked the estate to
give the city about twenty-five feet OF
ground, in return for which the city
would build the wall and benefit the
property. The estate refused that offer
as well, and after a weeks cOnSidera-
tion the Board concluded TO make the
recommendations to Council IL had, as
the water pipe was in great danger OF
breaking,, which would leave the South
Side without water.
The Second Branch then refused TO
concIr, and asked the Engineer TO make
the same explanation in the First
Branch he had made to the Second.
This was done; the First Branch con
Gu. red in the action OF the Second, and
the Board will condemn or purchase.
