WASHINGTON. june 1.-THE remains of
the dead victims of the horrible wreck at
Ford's Theater on Friday are nearly all
disposed Of Washington to-day was a
city of funerals, and all day long mourners
have gone about the streets. Every one
knew what the sad proce ssions meant and
the sympathy of all was extended, albeit
unexpressed in many cases, to the SORROW
stricken ones.
Inquiry con firms the statement that none
of the victims were men of property. Most
of them lived on salaries which furnished
them the means of livelihood but left lit
tie 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 lacking
funds for immediate use.

Much of the talk upon the disaster is
now Of relief measures and circulating of
subscription papers in the departments.
Washington newspapers in their efforts to
gather funds for the relief of the victims
and their families are meeting with success
TO degree that does credit to;the beneyo-
lence of citizens.
One notable fact is the growth of feel
