WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE remains
of the dead victims of the horrible
wreck OF Ford's thester Friday are nearly
disposed Of. Washington today was a
city Of funerals and all day long mourn
ers have gone about the streets. Every
one knew what the aad PROFESSIONS
meant and the sympathy of all was ex-
tended, albeit unexpressed in many
cases, to the sorrow-stricken ones. In
curry confirms the statement that none
of the victims were 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, II not
entirely defendant upon friends and rel
atives, at least lacking funds for i'm
mediate use.
The body of George @. Allen. was
taken to Philadelphia for interment
after funeral services here. After the
last sad rites were performed over the
remains of Emanuel Gates Shull, the
casket was taken to Gettysburg for in
| terment. The body of J. Boyd Jones
was sent to his home in Evansville,

ledy ie now on the way to New Orleans,
La. that of Samuel P. Banes was taken
to Bristol, Pa. !; that of jeremiah DAILY,
to Homole, Pa. that of r. 8. Miller, to
Cumberland, Ohio.

of various military or civil organizations,
and comrades in each case attended the
| funerals and escorted the remains to the
railroad stations. J. B. Gage was a
Grand Army man, and Kit Carson post
gave him military funeral, and buried
him among his comrades at Arlington.
George M. Arnold was one of the best
known colored men in the government
employ here and his funeral at the
/ DIeuyupuliruu African VI : Il. church AZ
tracted an enormous attendance, which
included coiored militia companies.
Funeral services were held over the re-
| mains of Frederick B. LOTUS at his home
In the presence of his wife and six chill
dren and many friends. The masonic
fraternity conducted the services over
Captain Ben Miller and started for Utica,
N. Y, where the interment will be

The remains of Otto F. w. Maeder

Mount Olivet cemetery, and that OF

was buried in the Congressional ceme-
terry. The Independent Order of Me-
chanics laid at rest in Greenwood the
mortal remains of Joseph Pagan, and
Garfield Post. G. A. r. inferred at Ar
lington the body of their late comrade,
J. B. Chaplin.
Much of the talk upon the disaster is
now of relief measures and circulation
of subscription papers in the depart
ments and the Washington newspapers,
in efforts to gather funds for the relief
of the victims and their families, is
meeting with success to degree
! the citizens. One notable fact is the
the part of the public against the per-
sons responsible for the wreck, in adj
vance of the verdict of the coroner's
jury and the findings of the court OF in
quiry ordered by the war department.
There lie no general agreement upon this
point, and the public is rather indis-
criminately coHdemning everybody who
had anything to do with the control of
the wrecked building, from congress
down to the very laborers who were dig
cling in the cellar when the crash came.
| The injured in Fridays catastrophe
now in the hospitals, with the exception
of two. are in fair way to recover.
Deputy Coroner Shaffer was engaged to-
day in making preparations for the in
quest, which will be resumed tomorrow.
