It was 2 o'clock when the caisson en-.
tered the gates OF the cemetery. Most OF
the troops remained outside of the GENE
terv. On account of the large number OF
carriages occupied by Grand Army men,
members of Loyal legion and Sons OF
Veterans who were unable to endure the
fatigue of the entire march of nearly
eight miles, and for whom carriages were
provided at the corner of Grand and East
ern-aves., the road from the entrance OF
the cemetery to the grave was soon
blocked, and many OF those who occu-
pied carriages near the end OF the pro-
cession were obliged TO leave them some
distance from the gate and walk to the
grave. This caused some delay in the
services, and it was not until 2:30 that
all who had been assigned places took
their positions about the open grave,
which was lined inside with flags.
4 short distance TO the south was the
brave Thirteenth, to the east members oi
the Grand Army, and directly around it to
the north were grouped Senator sherman,
the Misses Shermans, j. L. sherman, Col.

draped with flags and was bare of any
floral tributes.
The services were of the simplest char
acter, and were conducted by the Rev.
Thomas Sherman, all assembled about
the grave standing with uncovered heads.
AS the casket was being lowered the
regimental band played Piye's
hymn. Father Sherman read the
catholic service, one OF the
selections being 81 am the resurrection
and the life," offered fervent prayer and
the services were at an end. As the SER
vices progressed many about the grave
were visibly affected, and when the flags
around the casket were removed the
sound of low sobbing was heard. At
o'clock the closing OF the grave was CON-
pleted and the buglers of the Seventh
cavalry sounded the "taps" out.
Volleys were fired over the grave by the
Thirteenth infantry. Immediately fol-
lowed by three salvos by toe artillery,
which was stationed some distance to the
east. Wreaths and branches OF ever.
green were then placed upon tire grave by
loving hands.
The funeral party and the troops re-
turned to the station and the many
thousands OF citizens who were present
dispersed 10 their homes.

wife and his two sons, one Of whom was
his Soldier boy" Gen. William Tecumseh

MEMPHIS, Feb. 1S.-The south-bound
limited passenger train on the Illinois
Central railroad, which left Chicago at 3 20
p. in. yesterday, jumped the track near
Medina, Tenn, about $50 o'clock this
morning The cars took fire and all were
consumed except the rear sleeper, which
was saved by the timely arrival OF a
freight train, the engine of which pulled
from the burning train. No one was
killed, but the escape from death of all
on board was remarkable. Ed Silver

and the newsboy were seriously injured.

HAZING AT WEST POINT.

Not Done Away With, But 1t Is Not
So Rough as 1t Was.
"Has the practice of hazing been
done away within" asked a reporter
for the Louisville Conrier- J ournal of
John S. Sewell a West Point graduate.
"Not altogether, but it is not quite
as rough as it used to be. They used
to toss the plebs in blankets, drag
them by the heels up and down the
street, roll them down the embank-
ments OF the fort into the ditch, and
all that, but that has been pretty well
stopped. Now, it is usual, when one
OF the cadets want to go to see his girl,
and his gun must be cleaned, he dosen t
want to do it himself, so he takes his
traps to pleb, and politely requests
him to put them in good order-and
the pleb usually. does It,"
"But suppose he doesn't?"
"Why, then Ire gets the worst of it.
Sometimes he is made to sit on the
sharp end of bayonet or treated to
O. dose of the setting-up exercises be-
hind the tent. Or they make him chew
the end of rope or the canvas OF a
stretcher until they get tired. Some
times they fasten brass button to a
string, pass the string over a ridge
pole of the tent, and make the pleb
stand, with his hands at his side, and
endeavor to touch it with his nose.
When he tries to get it away up they
let it drop, and when he sees it dang
ling low and reaches for it they yank
it up high. When a pleb first gets
there he is usually very green. If he
is from the country he will probably
eat with his knife, use his own spoon
to take sugar, or his own knife for the
butter. They begin to abuse him with
a volley of curses that almost takes
his breath, and when they have got
ten through with that they tell him
how he must eat. This, however,
usually results in good. No, they
keep up hazing. l have been dragged
out of my tent many night when
tired after a hard days work. Yes, |
suppose the cadet officers could stop
it, but they wont, and the regular Of
ficers might do it if they would patrol
the company grounds all night. But
hazing is not what it once was"

Don't be q spider
and cra,O1 in these days! Why
not keep up with the nineteenth
century? You would not buy a
steam engine made like those of
a century ago. Then why should
you buy the old-fashioned, big,
drastic pills that grippe and debili-
tate your system?
AS great improvements have been
made in pills as in steam engines.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, or pills,
are easiest to take, and never grippe
or shock the system.
They are purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless.
One little Pellets a laxative, three
to four are cathartic. They regu-
late and cleanse the liver, stomach
and bowels - quickly, but thor
oughly. They're the cheapest pill,
sold by druggists, because you only
pay for the good you get. They're
guaranteed to give satisfaction,
every time, or your money is re-
turned. That's the peculiar plan
all DR.. Pierce's medicines are sold
