of the dead victims Of the horrible
wreck of Ford's theater Friday have
nearly all been disposed of. Washing
ton was today a city of funerals, and all
day long moutners have gone about the
streets. Every one knew what the sad
procession meant, and the sympathy Of
all was extended, albeit upeXpresSed in
many eases, to the sorrowing stricken
ones. Inquiry confirms the statement
that none Of the victims We're men OF
property. Most OF them lived on their
salaries, which furnished means of
livelihood, but left little for day like
this. Most of them were married, and
some had large families, who are now
left, if not entirely dependent upon
friends and relatives, at least lack
Ing in funds for immediate use.

Q lief measures, and circulators of sub
scription papers in the departments and
in the Washington newspapers in their
efforts to gather funds for the relief of
the victims and their families are meet
ing with success that does credit To
The Nations BenevoIence
Government employees as class are
not well to do, and living expenses here
absorb most of their salaries, but few
indeed were too poor to contribute a
sum that appeared to be generous in
view of their means for the relief of the
widows and orphans. One notable fact
is the growth Of the feeling Of resent
ment on the part of the public against
the persons responsible for the wreck
In advance Of the verdict of the cor0-
ner'S jury, and of the findings Of the
court of inquiry ordered by the war de-
partment, there is not general agree
ment upon this point, and the public is
rather lndiSCl Intimately cOndemning
everybody who had anything to do with
the control Of the wrecked building,
from congress down to the very labOrers
who were digging in the cellar when
the crash came. All the victims in the
hospital, with Two exceptions, are in a
fair way to recovery. The serious cases
are i. NJ. Mccormick, of Wisconsin,

ture of the ribs, and he is

expected under the circumstances until

moved 10 his home tomorrow. A. L..
