10 FLOWERS At THIS WAKE.
Tim C~ampbell's EAigy Buried with
Jeers and Anathemas.
Corlears Hook People Vent Their
Rage on the Congressman.

The glory OF Congressman Timothy j..
Campbell has departed forever-at least
that much OF 1t that was wont to set
the Corlears Hook section of the city
in an uproar. Tim Is practically dead
and buried, and there Is none so poor
to do him reverence In the lower east
side. His corpse in eflgy was consigned
to the earth last night not with "dirges
due in sad array" but accompanied by
anathemas and words OF scorn not un-
mixed with hatred.
The Evening World" told last week
how a shallow, mimic grave had been
prepared for the Congressman in a va
| cant lot adjoining the proposed Corlears
Hook Park. Sunday night the corpse
was inferred. and there was no dearth
rectlv called. to attend the wake.
And all this ignominy is due to Tins
earnest efforts TO secure a park for the
populace of the lower east side of town.
While he is not directly responsible for
the selection of Corlears Hook as a
site. the inhabitants wanted some one
and the unhappy Mr.. Campbell was
selected.
To begin with, according to their ar
gument, 1t was not enough to GUST the
humble settlers from their homes in
order that the buildings might be torn
down but the work of demolition was
given 10 a lot or Italians, while those
who formerly occupied the buildings
were compelled to stand idly by and
watch the razing of their former habit
t%ations. Their rage eliminated Sun
day night In the execution OF the august
Congressman in efigy. An old suit
of clothes was stuffed with straw.
Contrary to the code OF execution. n
battered hat VAS placed upon the lg-
ure, and 1t was soon dangling from a
wire. Beneath the wire children danced
and sang songs OF derision, n when
their efforts tired them, the figure was
taken down and dragged through the
streets, accompanied by a jeering rab-
BILE,
1t was finally taken to the shallow
grave and buried, while BOUQUETS OF
tin cans. nosegays OF overripe fruit anC
vegetables n wreaths Of old boots
shoes and hats were piled on the pool
semblance of humanity.
Last night the wake was held. Lighted
candles were stuck in the ground abou
the grave. n rude tombstone wa.
erected, and hooking procession,
marched about the last resting place
politically, II not hguratively. OF tn,
fated Congressman.
While the o~bsequies were for tn,
greater part confined to the EFFORTS o
children, their elders looked on wit
glee. and felt that they were in
) measure avenged for the losing OF thei
shops and homes and the added in
Jury of not being permitted to do tn
tearing down themselves.
1t may be that Campbcll's fault wa
similar to Caesar's-he was too am
bilious.
