FIRST SNOW 0F WINTER.
1t Was Surprise and Made a
Beautiful Sight

Those who before they retired last
night saw that it was raining a mean
drizzle, were much surprised to find upon
awakening this morning that while they
slept old Winter had descended and
wrapped the earth in its white mantle.
The surprise of those on the Heights,
however, soon gave way to admiration, as
their eyes wandered over the beautiful
Picture which nature spread out before
them. The snow-ladden trees which
formed all manner of attractive figures
which harmonized with the snow-clad
landscape, formed sight which will not
be forgotten in some time by those who
We're fortunate enough to behold it.
1t was about ten O'Clock last night when
the first flakes began to flutter Through
the sky and mingle with the dr.zzle
which had been falling all the evening.
The weather was so warm that the fakes
melted as soon as they struck the pave
ments. The grass, however, welcomed the
falling snow, and soon began to put on its
Writer robes. By midnight the atmos-
phere had become much colder and the
snow began to remain upon the street and
Sidewalks. 1t continued to come down
during the best part of the night

Missouri National Bank. one of the larg-

the Currency this morning and is di-
rectly in charge Of H A. Norman, Ma

The failure is due to the money on
hand running below the reserve required
under the banking laws and paper among
the assets being given a much lower
value by Examiner Forman than by the
bank officials. Mr.. Forrnan is reticent re-
garding the exact condition of the bank
and the officers of the institution say they
have left everything to him. They as
sert, however, with apparent confidence,
that they will pay depositors IN fun and
no matter what occurs there will be a
fair percentage left for stockholders. The
failure created surprise, as the bank
was generally understood to be in sound
condition.

MBBGAN'S BURIAL.
There Seems to Be Doubt Why
He Was Refused Interment
in a Catholic Cemetery.

highly colored and sensational arti-
Gle appeared in the New York newspapers
this morning which does a great injury
to the memory of a man who died at
his post like hero. The article stated
that Joseph Meegan, the engineer of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, who died at his
week, was refused burial In the Holy
Name Cemetery either because ne belong
ed to the Brotherhood of Railroad En-
gineers of because Meegan sent his chill
dren to a public school The article also
quoted Father Ter Woert, the pastor of
st. Johns Church, as saying that Meegan
was public sinner and had not attended
church for twelve years. The article then
proceeded to tell how Father Moran
had granted a burial permit
for the Holy Name Cemetery, how
morning; how the permit was was suddenly
revoked by Father Moran, the grave was
refilled and how, finally, the Order of
Locomotive Engineers had to come to
Mrs. Meegan's rescue and procured a
burial for the martyred engineer in the
New York Bay Cemetery.
Most of this is false and Injuries both
the dead and the living. Father Ter
Woert was seen this morning. He said
had nothing to do with Meegan's
case and the only reason why my name
is rung in is that | am manager of the
cemetery and it was Thought that in that
capacity had revoked the burial permit.
As matter of fact none but the min
ister who grants It or the Bishop can
do this. The order never reached the
cemetery, no grave was opened, and con-
seQuently none was ever refilled. / did
not say that Mr.. Meegan was a public
sinner. l simply gave this as hypo-
theticai case, applying in no sense to Mr..
Meegan, but one which might exclude
man from conseerated ground. I know
of No reason why Mr.. Meegan was re-
fused burial. 1t certainly was not fer
any of the motives hinted at in the news
papers. Father Moran revoked the per-
NIT and for what reasons he knows best
Father Moran was then seen. He said:
Yes, did grant the permit and then re-.
woke it. When l granted it ] did SO un-
der THE impression that Meegan belonged
to my parish and had seat in the
church. was told that such was the
case. ! found however, that Neegan lived
in st. Johns parish and had no seat in
our church. Reiaitiyes of his have a pew
in St. Joseph's Church, and he and his
wife sometimes occupied that. As Meegan
did not belong to the parish ] could not
grant a permit. It was not IN my power
to do so under the circumstances. Mrs.
Meegan did not apply to Father Ter
Woert for permit. The order of Railroad
Engineers stepped in and carried the fun
eral forward without delay. it is not the
policy of the Church to refuse permits
but rather to grant them whenever. pos
sible."
Mrs. Meegan is i'll in bed, but at her
home it was said that she bore no feel
ing against either of the ministers and
was satisfied with her husbands BURIAL
although she would have preferred to
nave him buried in ground consecrated
Meegan was buried Saturday In the New
York Bay Cemetery.

The girls with whom we have the most
success are these who are committed to
us early in life OF course, those are not
accused of such offenses as are charged
against the Schultz girl I realize the
great mistake that is made in sending
such girls to the County Jail or Peniten-
tiary, where they are thrown into the
company of older and more hardened
What disposition of such cases would
you recommend, then, Mr. Maddock?" |
asked
"A reformatory such as that which we
are now building at Railway for young
men,, replied the chaplain. They have
such institutions in New York, Massa-
chusetts and other States, and | under
stand they work admirably. 1t would
pay the State to erect such an institu-
ton. l would suggest that girls too old
to enter the Reform School be sent there
tend to their reformation. OF course they
must be first offenders, and no hardened
and depraved characters admitted.
MIR. Lewis Parker, Treasurer of the
Trenton Savings Bank and President of
the Board of Trade of that city, has for
several years been Secretary and Treas
urer of the. Board of Trustees of the
school. He has always taken q deep in
terest in the institution and has worked
hard for its success When 1 spoke to
him about extending the age of admis-
sion to the institution he SAID =
1T would not be wise. Girls beyond
sixteen years are very hard to reclaim,
and their influence upon the younger
members with whom they are thrown
into close contact by the manner in
which we conduct the school is most
baneful. Our experience has shown US
that, and also that those who come to
us early are those whom we succeed in
making useful members of society. "
Mr., Parker, like Mr.. Maddox, favored
a reformatory for girls similar to the
Railway institution.
One of the most active workers in the
Board is Mr.. E. ReZeau Cook. State
street merchant. He is the managing
trustee and visits the institution daily.
He has carefully watched it's progress
the Board, and is capable of speaking
of the result of it's working. He agrees
with the other members of the Board in
declaring that 1t would not be wise to
change the age of admission to the
school and that the best methods of deal
ing with such offenders as Gussie Schultz
is female reformatory.
