FEARLESS TO THE GRAVE.
The Mortal Remains Of Samuel S. Chip
man Inferred

The funeral services over the body
of the late Samuel :. Chapman were
held yesterday morning at l0:S0 O'Clock
from the L. b. A. home, the Rev.
DIR. Campbell FAIR of st. Marks ofiicl-
atlng. assisted 10y the Rev. Dr. IL. III.
johnson, rector of Trinity church.
The solemn aud beautiful burial ser
wee Of the Episcopal ritual was read,
and D.. Fair spoke tenderly ana eio-
quenliy OF the broad culture, the help
ful unseIfishness and Lne patience
under suffering Which were All marked
clements in Mr.. Chipman's character
and gave To his strangely cneckered
and unhappy life something which
more fortunate men will hud worthy OF
emulation.
He spoke with gratitude OF the help
which Mr.. Chapman mad for years al
forded hlm IN hls literary researches
and clerical studies. Ihe ladies of the
home sang several hymns Old
friends had sent beautiful floral offer
Tugs. Geurg Spaeth and julius Klein
wachter w,le among those who sent
flowers. On tue coffin was placed an
exquisite wreath. The remains We're
laid To rest IN the family lot at Oak
Hill cemetery. The funeral was at
tended 10y some tiity old trends and
several members of the local bar. The
remains we've not viewed by the gen.
eral public but an intimate irlend who
saw Mr.. Chapman in his coffin said that
the appearance Of his lace Was hfellke
aud peaceful, all traces OF his oeform-
ity having been removed In the au-
topsey.
The tumor which was the indlrect
cause of Mr.. Chipman's death has been
preserved and wsil be subjected 70 a
careful microscopic examination, as Its
formation and growth present very
puzzlng features TO the physicians. A
prominent lawyer said last night that
that the bar association would uD-

Chipman's death, IN a few days.

THE CITY's INTERESTS.

Yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
was of highly important nature. The
description of the opening for Pittsburg
manufacturers in Colombia, as furnished
by Colonel Pennington, must command
the attention of all business men energetic
enough to see the necessity of reaching
out after new markets. Pittsburg's prod
ucts have already secured a good name in
Colombia, and the statement that the
Southern Republic will require 100000
tons of iron during the next year is an
indication of the extent of its growing
market The advice for the establishment
of line of steamers by Pittsburg capital
direct from New Orleans to the Magdalene
river is such as should be followed with as
little delay as possible.
Colonel Roberts resolution asking for
tile establishment of a River Commission
to look after the interests of the Missis-
sippi and its tributaries is wise one
worthy of hearty support
The announcement that the Committee
on Transportation and Railroads had sent
out a series of questions to the railroad
officials on freight discrimination is an in
dicaton that the remedy for the evil COM
planned of is being gradually approached.
These three matters, separate and dis
tinct though they be, are ali Intimately
connected with the future growth of Pitts
burg. Their consideration is startling
indication of some of the several ways in
which the Chamber can foster this cIty'S
interests. To enlarge the market for
Pittsburg manufactures, to improve Pitts
burg's waterways and to abolish railroad
determinations against Pittsburg, one and
the same line of action is primarily neces-
sarily, that is, the unifcation of this
city's citizens for the attainment of bene-
fits for the community. 1t is the duty of
the Chamber of Commerce to encourage
this progressive cooperative spirit until
the growth and prosperity of Pittsburg
receive every possible aid and encourage

YESTERDAYS DARKNESS.

Yesterday was fair specimen of the
days for which Pittsburg was characters
tic in former times. Its recurrence ought
to arouse public spirit to prevent it from
becoming characteristic of Pittsburg in
the future
While the hill-tops and surrounding
country were enjoying clear skies and
bracing air, the downtown section was
shrouded in gloom and darkness. The
moisture rising from the river to the cold
atmosphere about was promptly turned
into fog, and held down under the high
atmospheric pressure. Mingled with the
smoke this became pail of darkness, and
Pittsburg groped in the gloom all day.
The city workers had to rely on electric
and gas lights, the exterior of everything
was gloomy and dingy, and the damage
to nerves, to eyesight, to clothing and ar
chitecture was beyond calculation.
In the days when Pittsburg had to ac-
cept this result of her industries as in
evitable it could be borne with cheerful
ness. and even with a species of pride in
our unique qualification But since we
have experienced a half decade of clean
illness and light, the question whether
artificial conversion of day into night is
necessary assumes vital importance
The fact that large share of our smoke
could be abolished shows how the afflic-
ton can be mitigated. Intimations are
also present that science can develop
smokeless fuels for our mills, and thus
abolish the darkness as completely as dur
ing the natural gas era. To do this is for
the welfare of every man, woman and
child interested in the future of our city.
Such demonstration of our smoke as
that of yesterday should unite the whole
population in the effort to get rid of it by
every means consistent with Industrial
DrOsperitv
