Remains Buried In the Family Lot
at Swan Point.

The late John II. Troup was in no sense
public man, neither was he an officer In
the church. and 1t seemed appropriate
that his funeral should be in keeping
with the unostentatious character OF his
life,/ The obsequies were observed at
o'clock this Afternoon at his late resi-
dence. All Broadway. Although II had
been announced that the burial would be
private no one was excluded who chose
| to attend, with the result that the spa
cious parlors OF the beautiful home were
filled to overfiowing; and the request to
kindly omit flowers did not serve to pre-
vent the contribution by intimates of
several clusters of the choicest blossoms
obta Unable.
The services were doubly interesting
because of those to ofiiciate. Rev. Wal
lace Nutting, ID. d.. pastor OF the Union
Congregational Church, conducted the
ceremony, read Scripture ana made the
opening prayer. Rev. DIR. A. j. j.
church, and a close friend of Mr.. Troup,
delivered an affecting address, aad Rev.
DIR. John q. Wooley of Woonsocket,a near
and dear friend, offered fervent prayer.
Sweet and touching vocal selections were
rendered by the Ruggles Street Quartet
Of Boston. Among others attending the
funeral we're the officers OF Clan Cameron
n, Order OF Scottish Clans, comprising
Chief James M. Macnair and Past Chiefs
William Forsyth, Alexander McMurtrie,
Alfred Dawson and David Grant They
also accompanied the remains to the cem-
elery.
The pail bearers were George w. Mat
teso,, Dutee Wilcox, Robert Adams and
Gorham y. Pomroy.
The interment was in the family lot at
Swan Point cemetery.
The Boston Store was closed. having
remained so since last week, and from

Instructor OF fencing. "a West Cedar street
Providence.

The above letter is an answer TO the ehal-
longe issued by Professor Lewis In the Boston
Post. Arrangements are being made to bring
about this fencing hout. in this city, on Feb
rusry IL, next. OF late Providence PEOPLE
have developed anew an interest in fencing
matters. and in diGerent circles there has
been held quite a controversy on the actual
value of the two prominent schools of fencing
of the European continent, viz. The French
aud Italian schools. The coming match be-
tween professor LOWS OF the Italian school,
and professor Fournon, one of the noted ex-
ponents of the French school of fensng in
this country, will be considered as OF great
interest by all those Interested in fencing
matters. 1t is said by several amateurs here
that while the French method teaches to cling
to the parry, and answer and thrust off time,
the Italians are constantly feeling for open
irgs, taking bold chances in their fencing
and, therefore. being often late at the parry.
The French method, on the other hnnd, IL
less bold in its play, is generally felt 10 bo
much the surer. as the man who uses IL is al
ways a close guard, and quick Mt parry,
even in the most excited contests.
