His funeral and burial, Mr.. Speaker,
will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. The autumn sun was fast
sinking behind the bright curtain of
the West, bathing the mellow autumn
fields" of 'Old Virginia with its purple
hues. Untrumpeted by official author

village, farm, and cabin gathered at
RavenswOrth to pay the last sad honor
to their beloved friend. White and
colored, rich and poor, high and low,
soldiers, citizens, and statesmen, all
were there.
His body was borne from the house
to the ivy-clad family graveyard by the
sturdy yeomanry of the nelghborhood.
In the presence of that vast throng,
with uncovered heads, his comrades,
who had followed him on many a hard
fought battlefield, performed the last
sad rites, and with their own hands
filled his grave and planted upon it the
''immortelles'' of their affection and
devotion. Faces that never blanched
amid the storm of battle paled hearts
! that never Quailed in the presence OF
an enemy broke in the presence of the
last enemy of us all, and the silent pitt

Forever more thy memory
In Heaven and in our hearts shall shine.

TOM JOHNSON TALKS.
He Says No Insult Was Intended to Crisp
Doesn't Want Him for Speaker.

Gle vELAND, O., Dec. 13.-Congressman
Tom L. johnson arrived at the Weddell
yesterday morning, and remained until
late last evening. when he started on q
fiying business trip to Louisville and st.
Louis. As usual, the hustling Congress-
man was in fine health and spirits, and
chatted pleasantly about political subjects.
When asked in regard TO the alleged insult
to Speaker Crisp, Saturday night, at the
Reform Club banquet, in New York. Mr..
johnson said: 1T was not much of q Crisp
crowd, but no insult or snub was in
tended. The Speaker w~asinvited to the ban
quet, but was not invited to speak. and il
was never announced that he was to be one
of the speakers. He did not leave the ban
quet ball earlier than many others. In
fact. the speeches were short. and the BAN
quet was concluded at a comparatively
early hour. / spoke at about IL O'Clock.
There were more calls for Wilson to speak
than for Crisp. but neither of the gentle
men was called upon to speak. i certainly
do not think any insult was intended. but
if there was any such intention. l had no
knowledge of it. and i have no idea that
Speaker Crisp blames me. He is an elegant
gentleman, q magnetic fellow, whom sny
one who knows must like"
will there be any opposition to Speaker
Crisp's reelection"

WILL GIVE UP THE GRAY.
Confederate Veterans in Atlanta Decide TO Pat
Away Their Peculiar Garb.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. l3.-The last confed-
crate uniform will soon be laid away
never TO be donned again. 1t was worn
By Company b, of confederate veterans. of
this city. When jefferson Davis made his
last memorable tour of the South. in 1856.
there was a great revival of confederate
enthusiasm In Montgomery he was re-
ceived by 1900 people. Coming TO Atlanta
an effort was MADE TO Guido Montgomery
oy uniforming her confederate veterans.
IL was this company that carried the con-
federate flag which gave such offense to
Grand Army Commander Palmer at the
Grady monument unwilling. and led to the
order that the Grand Army should never
again appear IN procession where that flag
was borne. In the late Columbian celebra-
ton In this city both bodies appeared In
procession. but the flag was left behind in
the armory. Last night Company Is had
nm exciting meeting. In which 10 was de-
cIded that the uniform should henreforth
be discarded. The reason assigned is that
when the uniform was originally adopted
IL was hoped that all the veteran associ-
atoms would adopt il nlso. The other as
sociations not having done so the wearing
OF the uniform by the Atlanta association
alone makes 1t too prominent.

One Death Due to Alcoholism

PITTsBURG, Dec. 13.-Homestead is con
siderably exercised over the alleged cases
of poisoning in the steol-works. but the
general opinion of the citizens now
is that it is q good deal of q myth.
The company will have to pro-
duce very strong evidence to make
the people of Homestead believe otherwi SO.
The staten emit in a recent communication
that mine cases are expected to result
fatally at the Carnegie Hospital should
have read None of the cases are expected
to result fatally"
Coroner Mcdowell has concluded his in
vestIgation into the death of Isaac Jury.
An autopsy was held and death was found
to have been due to alcoholism. The dis
ease was far advanced and there was not
the least semblance of poison. The
Charles Stanford. who died In To-
onto, Ont, last night from sup
posed poison administered at Homestead.
is not known by the Carnegie officials.
Secretary Lovejoy said the company sent
several sick men home. but kept no record
of them. The cool Gallagher. who is said
to have been the man who made the con-
fession duplicating Beatty and others, is in
P%ittsburg, but is hiding. through fear.
1t is said that he will be
killed. The officials and members of
the Homestead advisory board continue
to d~enounce the poison plot Is a scheme to
further injure them, but that tho company
has some revelations which are sensational
there 10 little doubt, and under mem bers of
the Carnegie firm Say that the denoue-
ment is yet to come.

stitution IN the county that has been in
successful operation for three years, has
been endowed to the extent of 5000. and
has an Indebtedness to the amount of the
sum asked. The matter was laid before
the board by hon. L. :. Kennedy, Hon. It.

about s. 900 annually In this county, and

dents of the county. The appeal was very
ably presented. and the commissioners an
bounced that their decision in the matter
would be made tomorrow morning.
