by four black horses, each led by sable
groom.
The Americus Light Infantry and dele.
cation of forty citizens preceded the hearse,
and the procession started to the Metho-
dist Church. The buildings along the
line of march were draped in mourning.
At $3.50 P. NJ, the funeral service began.
The deep mellow tone of the organ pealed
forth funeral dirge while the people were
assembling in the church. The choir
then sang 1--WE Shall Sleep, but Not For
ever" After reading appropriate pas
sages Of scripture and offering prayer,
General Clement a. Evans delivered a
funeral Grafton. His tribute to the de-
ceased was impressiyely touching. AS a
comrade in arms in Virginia and a close
friend in time of peace, he knew we'll the
worth and character of the man he eulo-
gized. His reference to the eminence
Mr.. Crisp attained in his Congressional
career was free from any display of full
some laudation, but told in that simplicity
which always marked the even tenor of
the life of the man Georgia mourns. No
higher tribute could be paid a National
character, nor is there who more justly
ucScIfcu II.
At the conclusion of General Evans re-
marks the choir sang "Asleep in Jesus"
The remains were then conveyed to the
cemetery.
The dwellings along the route were all
draped. The procession passed by the
house in which the Crisp family dwelr
years ago. Friends had placed large
arch over the gateway on which were the
words, "His Old Home" People lined
the sidewalks from the church to the
cemetery.
Arriving at Oak Grove the military ranks
stood at ''present arms" The remains
were carried to the family lot. A prayer
was read by General Evans and the body
of the dead statesman was lowered into
the grave to sleep beneath the sod of
Georgia soil, under Southern skies, in the
city he loved and the section he served. 1t
was at deep twilight when their act of sor-
rowful duty was performed, which added
to the gloom of the occasion. The people
were in silence and even in departing no
one was disposed to talk.

MARK LEWIS NARRATIVE.
Story Told by Converted Jew of His Religious
Experience.


Mr. Mark Levy, the converted Jew,
spoke Sunday night to large congre-
CATION in the First Presbyterian church,
corner Twenty-frst street and Fourth
avenue.
His remarks embodied his religious ex-
perience and were touching as well as
interesting. He was raised in London
and was a member of family of nineteen
children. The nurse of the family was
gentle. He listened to the child's lullaby
as sung by the Christian nurse and was
Impressed by the "lowly Jesus. He at
tended the Christian schools and met
with tauntings for being a Jew; his heart
was turned from his first impressions
He embaced the Jewish religion when
grown and was an active member of the
synagogue. He was early impressed
with the Christian faith; spoke to his
mother of his determination to embrace
Christianity, and, rather than give her
trouble, would leave England. He sold
out his business and went to Australia;
met Christians on the ship, among them
priests, pastors and popes. Their de-
meanor as Christian men was not OF the
kind he appreciated. Arriving In Aus
tralia. he resumed his visits to the syn
agogue His heart was not satisfied. He
had studied the old and new testaments
conformity He was impressed with the
fulfillment of the prophecy in Christ. He
determined to come to America He met
a Kentucky Christian on the voyage; was
again impressed by the Christian teach

MOST DISTRESSING DEATH.
Mr. ferd DeBardeIeben of Bessemer Passes
Away After Brief Illness.

One of the saddest deaths ever record
ed in Jefferson county took place Sunday
afternoon at $40 o'clock in Bessemer,
when Mr.. Ferdinand DeBardeleben, neph-
ew of Mr.. Henry f. DeBardeleben of this
city. breathed his last.
Mr. DeBardeleben was a young man,
holding a most important position with
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, and had a brilliant future be-
fore him. Three or four weeks ago while
in Mobile he was vaccinated, so that he
could enter and depart from New Orleans
without being detained, as smallpox was
then raging in the Crescent City. He
caught cold in his arm, and erysipelas set
in This led to blood poison. He made
great struggle for life, and the three ply
sicians in attendance did not despair until
Saturday afternoon, when new compli-
cation, in the shape of pneumonia, de-
veloped. He would have been 29 years
old in May.
Mr. DeBardeleben and Miss Fannie
Arnold, daughter of our distinguished
citizen, Judge j. M. Arnold, were married
at the First Methodist church In this city
on January l, just little over three
months ago. The event was one of the
most brilliant ever recorded In Birming
ham social circles. After a honeymoon
in Florida they settled in Bessemer,
where life was unfolding to them all that
is sweet and beautiful by the uniting Of
two loving hearts.
The young widow is Frustrated with
grief-so much so that the physicians
fear she will have a spell of Illness from
it, The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty goes out to her and the relatives of
both parties.
The funeral took place at Bessemer
yesterday afternoon, conducted by the
Rev. Mr.. Hawkins of Bessemer, who mar
ried them three months ago, and the re-
mains were brought to Birmingham and
placed In the DeBardeeben vault at Oak
Hill cemetery. A very large cortege of
kfriends followed the funeral party to the
cemetery.

THE NEW ELECTRIC LINE.
Description of the District Through Which It
viii Run.

The decision of Chancellor Cobbs, re-
Gently rendered, dissolving the injunction
restraining the Birmingham Railway and
Electric company from laying its tracks
down Eleventh avenue on the South
Highlands, is freighted with more inter-
est than the passing notice we have here
tofore given it would suggest.
In this case the Highland Avenue and
Belt railroad sought the injunction on
the ground that they own in fee simple
the roadbed for some distance on each
side of their tracks running along Elev-
enth avenue between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, and the crossing of
their tracks at the point named would
seriously injure their roadbed. tenn
porary injunction was granted in ac-
cordarce with their request, which has
been removed by this recent decision,
much to the delight of the population in
that section.
The electric railroad people propose to
operate this new line by running out
Twentieth to Eleventh avenue, and rum
ming their cars thence down Eleventh,
and 1t is their intention to equip 1t with
the finest and most modern coaches and
give the best service in the city.
Despite the lack of transportation that
has existed In this section of the city,
there has been more steady improvement
than in any other portion of the county,
which is largely due to the natural lay
of the ground, it's attractiveness, etc.
Mr.. Cullom, the owner of this part of
the city, has built during the past six
years twenty-odd attractive homes, and
he is now engaged in opening up and ex-
tending the avenue, which, when COM
pleted, will be the handsomest residence
property in the city, with water, gas,
electric light, sanitary sewer, stone curb
ing, asphalt block sidewalks and macad-
amized drive.
Mr. Jemison shows his usual foresight
in bringing this new line Ito accommo-
date the additional travel that he will
get upon the development of this prop
erty. 80
