FUNERAL OF p. t. BARNUN1.

Thousands of People Congresate-
The City of Bridgeport Shows
Everywhere Evidences of Its Sor-
row-The Servtces-Notes of the
Day.
BRIDGEPORT. April 1O.-All business ap-
peared to be suspended here to-day on ac-
of the funeral of P. T. Barnum. Every
were tokens Of sorrow were manifest. The
factories suspended work for the day at
noon, as also did the big business houses
in the center of the city. The schools had
but one session. Thousands of people
gathered about Marina, the beautiful resi-
dence of Mr.. Barnum, to see the obsequies
and at o'clock the dense throngs seemed
almost impossible. At that time the Rev.
L. B. Fisher, pastor of the Universalist
church, read short and simple funeral
service, after which the relatives and init
mate friends of the dead Snowman were
permitted to take last look at his face.
The funeral procession then moved to the
South Congregational church, where the
final services were held. The Rev. L. B.
Fisher oficiated, assisted by the Rev. Dr.
Colyer of New York. The latter deliv-
| cred an address, his text being: "Not My
Will, but Thine be Done" The body
| rested on slightly raised platform in the
| center aisle of the church The casket
| was of cedar, and was covered with black
broadcloth and trimmed with oxydized
silver. On the plate was the inscription

But it was the scene in the church that one
will scarcely forget. While Mr.. Barnum
was pronounced Universahst, it was in
where the services took place, while the
spacious pulpit was occupied by pastors
representing about every denomination
known in the Protestant religion. 1t
seemed as if the community claimed him,
and that the people of every faith had as
sembled to do honor to his memory. 1t is
true, the Universalist pastor, Rev. L. B.
Fisher, conducted the ceremonies, but the
Rev. DR.. Collyer, the powerful Congregaa-
tionalist of New York and Mr.. Barnum's
lifelong friend, delivered the funeral ad-
dress.
Mr. Barnum had himself arranged much
of the detail of the funeral. At his re-
quest the quartette sang sweetly Whittier's
beautiful words:
81 long for household voices gone.'
But it was the closing incident of the
church services that those present will not
entire congregation of the hymn ''It
Singeth Low in Every Heart" to the ever
familiar tune of Aud Lang Syne. Every
one arose from the chancel to the galleries
and choir loft. Surely such scene has
perhaps never before been witnessed at 8
funeral service in church. AS the strange
harmony from so many voices foated up
ward, men wept who had not shed tears
before since childhood.

Westminster in the sacred precincts of the

of one of England's honored statesmen, bu

as this vast congregation singing with on
voice this sweetest of all Scotch ballads
and the recollection of it will never be eff

he told him several times before some

Walter, Sr., NJ. R:ckel and Mary Gas
against the Federal Street and Pleasant
Valley Passenger Railway Company, oper-
sting the Troy Hill Passenger Railway.
The plaintiffs are property owners on Lowrie
street, Allegheny. The Troy Hill COM
psny, by ordinance on September 1 l, 1890.
was granted right of way for a single track
on Lowrie street from Gardner street to
NiggIe street. The company, it is alleged,
now has workmen at intervals of about two
squares, who are moving the track from the
middle of the street to within four feet of
the curb.
They are also putting in long switches,
which occupy almost the whole street. it be-
ing only 81 feet wide. The ordinance grant
ing them right OF wav, il was alleged, had
no provisio3 Tor switches.
The plaintiffs believe that it is the inten-
tion of the company to make its return
along Lowrie street, instead of taking the
clrcuitous route provided in the ordinance.
They will eventually, it is claimed, coD-
tinue the Switches until they form uni
form double track over Louvre street, which
is in violation of the ordinance.
