MAGGIE SLEEPS ~ LAKEWOOD.
funeral of the Murdered Girl-Con-
dition of the slayer.


The funeral yesterday morning OF poor
murdered Maggie Driver was one Of the
saddest which has ever taken place In
this community. Not a single relative,
not even a friend, of the unfortunate
girl. was present TO shed a tear. At il
o'clock two inmates Of the almshouse
bore the black-painted coffin into the
chapel Of the institution, and deposited
n unceremOniously in front Of the little
white pulpit
On the casket was pasted r plain,
square piece of paper, on which was
written Maggie i. Driver. Died January
18th. Aged ---- years.
There were about forty inmates or
the almshouse in the chapel when Mr..
Vivian McKinuon. missionary Of the
Grace-Sreet Baptist church, took his
place in the pulpit. The services were
opened By the reading OF the hymn,
"Oh. Where Shall Rest BE Found?" a
short prayer followed, and then Mr.. Nc
Kinnon announced the hymn, Just As
Am without One Plea. and when he
had finished more than half Of the men
and women Joined in singing it.
BUT ONE STEP TO DEATH.
Suitable passages Of Scripture were
read. after which a simple and touching
address. based on the Scnptural quota
ton, There is but one step between Me
and Death" was delivered by Mr.. Nc
kinnon.
He made allusion 10 the tragedy. point
ed out the lesson 1t taught, and asked
his hearers 10 pray for the infant child
Of the dead girl, and for tho unfortunate
man then lying between life and death in
the hospital OF the institution
The services were concluded with the
singing Of the hymn, There is FOun-
tain Filled With Blood" when the two
men acting as pall-bearers lifted the
coffin again. and carried n TO the dead
wagon.
AT THE GRAVE.
At the grave. which was in lakewood
Cemetery. the burial services were con-
Quoted and poor Maggie was laid quietly
10 rest
The girl had relatives near 9he city,
but II Is said that they have scarcely
seen her since her downward career. NO
rclafives claimed the body, so the city
had TO bury II.
William Meadors bears in India-lnk on
one of his arms the name and picture
OF the girl he murdered which was prob
ably worked there at the same time that
his name was tattooed on Maggie's right
arm. in conjunction with her own initials.
The condition OF Meadors continues to
improve. and his physicians are very
hopeful Of his speedy recovery.
