4 CITY OF FUNERALS.
Services Over Remains of Ford
Theatre Victims Occur at
Washington.
Streets Of the Nations Capital
Filled With Lines of Sad
Professions.

WASHINGTON, June 10. The remains
of the dead victims of the horrible
wreck of Ford's theatre Friday have
nearly all been disposed of. Washing
ton is city of funerals and all day
long mourners have gone about the
streets. Everyone knew what the pro-
cessions meant and the sympathy OF all
was extended, albeit unexpressed in
many cases, to the sorrowing stricken
ones. Inquiry confirmed the statement
that none of the victims were men of
property. Nearly all of them lived on
their salaries. which furnished means
of livelihood but left nothing for day
like this. The body of George @. Allen
of Pennsylvania was taken to Phlladel-
phia, where his relatives reside, for in
terment. After the last sad rites had
been performed over the remains of
Emanuel Gates Shull, also of Pennsyl-
vania, the casket was taken to Gettys-
burg for interment. The remains OF j.
Boyd Jones were sent to his home in
Evansville, Wis, where widow and
three children await their arrival. The
body of Captain Michael T, Mullaly is
now on its way to New Orleans; that
of Samuel P. Banes was taken to Bris-
tol, Pa; that of Jeremiah DAILY to Ro-
mola, Pa; that of H. S. Miller to Cum
berland, O.

bers of various military or civic organi-
cations, and their comrades in each case
attended their funerals and escorted
their remains to the railroad stations.
j. B. Gage was a Grand Army man,
and Kit Carson post gave him mill
tary funeral and buried him among his
comrades at Arlington. George M.
Arnold was one of the best-known col
ored men in the government employ
here, and his funeral at the Metropoli-
tan Methodist Episcopal church at
ira cted an enormous attendance. Flu
neral services were held over the re-
remains of Frederick B. Lotus at his
home on Ninth street. The Masonic
fraternity, through B. B. French lodge,
conducted services over Captain Bed
Miller. Rev. Mr.. Rogers of the Uni
versalist church, preached short SER
mon, and at 2 o'clock the remains were
started for Utica, N. Y, where the in
terment will be made What remained

Arlington, after services by German
Lutheran minister. The body of DIR.

neral service. The Independent Order
of Mechalites laid at rest at Greenwood
the remains of Joseph Richard Pagan,
and Garfield post G.. A. R., inferred at
Arlington the body of their late COM
rade, T. E. Chaplin.
A Feeling of Resentment.
One notable fact is the growth of the
feeling of resentment on the part of the
public against the persons responsible
for the wreck. In advance of the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury and of the
findings of the court of inquiry ordered
by the war department there is no gen.
eral agreement upon this point and the
public are rather unfortunately con-
demning everybody who had anything
t,, do with tho Ureckad b,,ildino FROM,
