Friends Carry OF Flowers from Organ and
Pulpit-The Interment.
The desire of the friends who attended
the services at the church to carry away
some memento of the occasion resulted in
the complete stripping of the blooms from
the pulpit and the organ rail, almost be-
fore the cortege had fairly begun its march
to the cemetery The removal began in
voluntarily, as it were. Owing to the con-
tracted space through which the mourners
passed in front of the pews. those nearest
the pulpit brushed the roses and other
flowers from their insecure resting place,
and as they fell to the floor they were
picked up by those who were passing.
Persons following, seeing the movement in
front, plucked a flower as they passed by
The Smilax Ropes Divided.
Their example was initiated by the other
persons present in the church until, as has
been stated, not q single bloom was left of
all the two broad bands of flowers that
met the gaze of the congregation as they
entered. Later in the, day while the deco
rators were at work removing the rem
pants of their work, several ladies entered
the church and asked the privilege of pur-
chasing some of the plants There was
nothing that could be disposed of then ex-
cept the smilax ropes, and with these in
their possession, by the gift of the gar
dener In charge, they gratefully retired.

ne ROUND out what Made the Water
Look So Greasy.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 31-Just as
church services were beginning Sunday
five alarms of fire were turned in. The
cause of it all was a mans curiosity and a
match. A group of men was standing on
street corner at the mouth of large sewer
guessing what made the water look so
greasy One of them said he would see
and he dropped a lighted match into the
oily substance. At once there was ter
rife explosion, and one of the spectators, a
man named Haley, had part of his hand
torn off.
Set the Sewer on Fire.
The flames rushed on through the sewer
consuming the oil which had escaped from
the gas company's broken pipe. One ex-
plosion followed another, tearing up the
sidewalks, square after square, and shat
tering window glass along the way. Great
excitement prevailed, women shrieking
and fainting from fright The fire en-
gines could accomplish nothing and the oil
continued to burn until it had emptied
itself into the KENTUCKY river. The gas
works were rendered imperative and Sum

WASHINGTON, March 9.-President
Cleveland's first executive communica-
ton to the senate came this afternoon.
and proved to be a surprise not only to
republican but to many democrats as
well. In the communication Presiden I
Cleveland Withdrew the treaty with
Hawail which was sent to tho senate a
lew weeks ago by President Harrison.
The message was short, simply request
ing the senate to transmit to the execr-
tive The proposed treaty with Hawaii. II
was received without comment on the
floor of the senate, Republican senators
regard this action of the president as in
line with the course he pursued in with
drawing the Nicaraguan treaty sent to
Inc senate by President Arthur in the
closing days of his administration.
Democratic senators look upon the
act from a twofold point Of view, some
taking the ground that it shows Mr..
Cleveland to be against annexation or
American domination of any sort j IN the
Hawaiian islands; while others hold that

agreed that nothing but senatorial mat |
tiers should be transacted during the
extra session, and hereafter no attempt
will be made in open senate to take up
any business other than that which
clearly relates to the functions of the
senate.
1T is understood that the reason of the
withdrawal of the treaty by President
Cleveland is that he is opposed TO it in
its present form. Whether he will favor
