BURIED IN TAE.TvILLE.
The Remains of Rev Jnmss j. Thompson
Yntarred Yesterday,


Inferred Yesterday.
The funeral of the Rev James j. Thomp-
son was held in Taftville yesterday. The
body arrived from Florida early in the
morning and lay in state for several hours
in the parish church. Six of the leading
members of the congregation acted as a
guard of honor at the bier. Handsome
floral forms were silent testimonials of the
esteem of Father ThompsoRss parishioners.
At IL o'clock the church was packed
with people and many who desired to at
tend were unable to gain admittance. The
altar and whole interior of the church was
heavily draped in black There were
seventy-fve clergymen present, including
Bishop-elect Tierney. The,church service
commenced with the chanting of the Office
for the dead by al the priests in unison.
Then followed requiem mass. Rev
Timothy Ri Sweeney of Portland was cele-
brant, with Father Lynch of Gainesville,
Fla, as deacon, and Father Preston as sub
deacon. Rev Edward Cartier of New Ha-
ven delivered a sermon III French and
Father Tennian of Providence spoke elo-
quently in English of the good qualities of
the deceased. During the service the
choir, under the direction of Miss Katie
Stanton chanted the Gregorian mass
The services closed by Bishop Tiernsy
pronouncing the dissolution. He was at
tended by Fathers Russell of New Haven
and DeBruycker of Willimantic. Rev F.
P. O'Keefe of Jewett City was master of
ceremonies. il
Then the remains were conveyed to the
waiting hearse and the funeral procession
was formed. 1t consisted of all the socie-
ties connected with the church and they
were headed by the TaftviFle brass band
hn IL ia
all the parishioners accompanied the pro-
cession to the cemetery, which is about a
mile from the church. At the grave the
usual burial service was read and then all
turned sorrowfully away and repaired to
their homes. All the people employed in
the Taftville mill, and who desired to at
tend the funeral, were allowed to do SO,
and during the services all the stores in
the village were closed.

strong man. Che wrestlers contested one
fall catch-as-catch-can style and another
at Greco- Roman, and Miller was beaten 10
both struggles. There was wide disparity
in weight between the two men, Mcleod
weighing only IT'S pounds, while Miller tip
ped the scales at 240.
Miller's favorite style of wrestling is
Greco- Roman, and the gladiators battled
for over an hour and a half before Mcleod
won a fall. The next bout, catch as-catch-
can, found Mcleod in his glory, and he
easily threw the Bavarian in ~ minutes.
With the exception of Evan Lewis, thu
renowned ''Strangler," Mcleod is probably
the best catch-as- catch-can wrestler in
America today. His favorite hold is the
hammer lock, and when he once secures it
surrender or a broken arm is the only al
tentative before his opponent He is now
anxious to arrange a match with Ernest
Roeber, the champion Greco-Roman wres-
tier of the world.

Consul Meade's Body Cannot Re Shipped
to New London at Present.
The state department has received a
cable dispatch from the vice consul of the

the death of Consul Meade, which oc-
CURED Monday, was the result of yellow
fever and that the body could not be
shipped to Mr. Meade's home, New Lon
don, until after the prescribed time for

Shadows New York Gymnasium.

Plans are being made, it is said, for the
construction of a gymnasium in New York,
where physical culture will be conducted
on the system followed by Sandow. The
exhibitions of strength building given by
him convinced several physicians and 9TH
ers that such an institution would do much
toward the prevention of consumption, and
the aid of wealthy men was secured. A To-
cation will be secured somewhere north OF
One Hundredth street, and the plans for
the structure provide for the accommoda-
ton of 5000 pupils at once. The cost is es
timated at 1885, 900, part of which, it is ex-
pected, will be given by Millionaire Rookie
Teller Sandow will be the director of the
new gymnasium, with large corps Of as
sistants.

Last Nights Talk.

Following the announcement of Judge
Calls decision the crowd at the Duvai
Athletic club was so great that it took hall
| dozen men to keep a pathway open for
| the pedestrians. The demand for tickets
was such that nothing but system pre-
| vented wild confusion and a rush. Finally
a scheme was arranged by which the men
went in one at a time, finding an egress at
another door, and the stream of ticket buy
ers was continuous for hours. The club
men did not forget to advertise their vic.
tory.
Half an hour after the decision band
wagon filled with brass band and having
on it signs painted upon streamers an
nouncing the Corbett- Mitchell fight rolled
into Bay street from side alley and was
greeted by volleys of cheers as the band
played lively airs.
Mitchell very modest about the out
come of the fight and would only say: II
think have mighty good chance-much
better than a Q to | chance, as the betting
is. l see Corbett says he can lick me- It
would be wiser FOR him to keep such re-
marks to himself until after the fight
There is no sense IN mans making fool
talk like that. He never has licked me,
and he don't know that he can. He only
thinks he can. Well, don't think so, and
that's all there Is to it."
Attorney General Lamar gave out a
statement announcing that he would abide
by the decision of the circuit court and
that contemplated action by the state
would only be taken after the contest, pro-
vided that the ruling of the court on the
final answer Of the sheriff should CORE
spond with that of yesterday.
Adjutant General Houston received or
ders late last night from Governor Mitch
ell instructing him to order the troops of
the Second battalion to their homes. ~

A SAD BLOW
Was the News Yesterday of the Death
 of tho Father of Messrs. Ben, Bert and Bob Jacobs at Y Quincy, Til.

Messrs. Ben m., Bert and Bob Jacobs, three of Birmingham's most prominent citizens and business men, were the re- cipients yesterday morning of news which was sad in the extreme and which will be heard with regret by their many warm friends in this city.
 The swift winged electricity brought the sad tidings that their father, man of mature years, and whom they idolized, had been called up higher, where pain and suffering is unknown. Ills death occurred at his home in Quincy, Ill. He had been 8 sufferer for some time from the effects of all attack of a grippe, but otherwise was a man oi strong build and great physical ability, and IL was the fond hope of his loved ones that he would be spared to them many years. But this was not to be, as sudden attack Of heart disease proved iaial, and he was gathered to his fathers.
 Messrs. Ben aud Bert Jacobs left imme- diatey Tor Quincy on receipt Of the dis dressing news, fS
 The entire city sympathizes with these estimable entlemen and their families in their bereavement.
