 The remains will be embalmed and carried by his family to the old home In Ohio It is expected that the funeral party will leave this afternoon on the Cincinnati train.

Ives nave not appeared in public except to make purchases in. the city or for drives, and their stay in Asheville, as in Florida during the early winter, was thoroughly exclusive.

 Others-Lynching Still Threatened.
 MERIDIAN, Miss. April l7.-Robert Belk and Dudley Scott. the firebugs who were arrested last night, made a confession to-day.
 The gang applied the torch to the West End public school building for the purpose of attracting the fire de- partment and the citizens from the business portion of the city. and dur ing the excitement it was their inten- tion to set fire to number of bns,uess houses and rob the Meridian national bank.
 The arrest of Belx and Scott caused a miscarriage of the plot and saved the town from destruction. Belk and Scott in their confession gave the names of parties who mad employed them to burn property to secure the insurance The police are withhold ing the names until the arrests are made. Excitement is still running high and open threats of lynching the frebugs are made.

 of School Children.
 MONTREAL. Can. April 1s.-An acci- dent occurred at the Riverside school, Point St. Charles, yesterday morning. Men had been engaged in building some additions, and load of stone had been left on the floor of room above the class room. The floor sud denly gave way, and about ton oi stone came crashing through. By re- markable good fortune the damages were slight, only two little girls being hurt. Jennie Marshall. a daughter of the secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, had several teeth knocked out, and Charlotte Mcdonald had her left foot and hand bruised. A watchman named Laughlin ran into the room when he heard the noise and fell through the hole, sustaining slight scalp wounds.

It's strange how gossip travels in these
days of enterprise,
And how little story reaches most
prodigious size.
Now, way up there in Newfoundland
the strange tale has been told
How prices at the Long Brick Store
used up the whale SO bold
The news came by messenger, and
they called il very odd;
When they saw the fish that brought it
they all thought it was cod;
But he swore it was the solemn truth,
and wigged both his fins
He said that lying wasn't down upon
his list of sins.
The lady whales said, ooh, dear me, did
you ever see the likeg"
The gentlemen said, Its quite time we
whales went on strike"
And all the little fishes that filled the
great salt sea
Just swan around and told the news,
excited as could be.
The whitefsh with dismay got blue;
bluefish in fear turned white;
Red snappers in the face got black;
black bass turned red with fright.
They called caucus, then and there,
amid the rocky reefs
A meeting of the leading whales and all
the big whale chiefs.
It's plain that we must action take"
said speaker No. one;
Deep principles are here involved and
something must be done"
His voice gave out; he paused for breath
with many snort and wheeze-
whales cannot sing, though they are
quite familiar with high Cs).

SHIP Alloy!
The Song Of the Whaling Crew.

Then No. 2 began to speak, and so the
meeting went.
We need not tell you what they said
they were on vengeance bent.
The chairman then appointed great
whale committee there
To go and seize the Long Brick Store
and not a soul to spare.
They started off one moonlight night;
the silver waves were still
AS tough as whalebone was each heart,
as strong as iron each will.
Then nearer, nearer to our coast they
came, this whaling band,
But they scurried along the bottom,
for you see they needed sand.
The nearer came they to our shores,
the more they heard it said,
That prices at the Long Brick Store,
would turn the best whales head.
They whispered it among themselves,
ats worse than we bad thought,
The prices must have dropped still
more since brother Bill was caught.
"One-fourth, one-third, and even less,
they're asking for mems wear.
This whale sale must be GROWN fast,
the news spreads every where"
But finally they reached port, saw
news they didn't like;
In Northerner which they borrowed
from friendly wall-eyed pike.
They read the prices, then struck out
due northward from the shore.
Down, down the prices on clothing went
at Paw Paws Long Brick Store.
But whales are all outdone, done up,
subdued forever more.
Their low prices demands a whaling
bushes at the Whaling One-Price
Store.
