INGERSOLL'S FUNERAL.
Extracts From Deceased's
Writings Read in Place
of Ceremony.

New York, July 25-The funeral Of
the late Robert G. IngersoI took place
this afternoon from Walston-onHud-
son, where he died on Friday last.
No clergyman was present to con-
duct the services; there was no music
and there were no pail bearers. The
body lay on cot in the room where
the colonel died. 1t was enshrouded IN
white, just one red rose being placed on
the breast. About the cot were banks
of floral tributes sent by friends,
wreaths and punches of blossoms.
The services were held at o'clock.
Mrs. 1ngersoll sat beside her dead, and
near her were her daughters, Mrs.
Walston H. Brown and Miss Maud In
gersoH. They were very much agftared
and Wept almost continuously. Mr.. and
Mrs. c. P. Farrell were present, and
Charles Broadway Rouss, Col. Inger-
soils Oldest friend, occupied a chair by
the side of the bier. There were soma
40 others present, and they remained
standing throughout.
The intense silence was broken by
DR.. John Clark Ridpath who, in a voice
full of emotion, said: MY friends. it
is my very sad duty to read in the
presence of the dead the last poem
written by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, en-
titled Declaration of the free.
The poem Col. Ingersoll had read anc
altered in some of it's parts only few
hours before he was stricken down.
Maj. o. ]. Smith of Dobbs Ferry, a
close personal friend of Col. Ingersoll,
then read another extract from Col In
gersolTs writings, entitled My reli-
gion."
Dr. John Elliott of New York read
the funeral grafton delivered by Col.
Ingersoll over his brothers dead body.
This concluded the short and simple
services. Nearly all present then took
a parting look at the dead and passed
out. After they had gone Mr.. Rouss
arose from his chair, and as he is to-
tally blind, passed his hand over the
face Of his departed friend and said:
Perhaps he is better now. No one
can understand it,
Mrs. Ingersoll said to him: 1.-THE
colonel wanted you to put your hand
upon his heart" and suiting the action
to the word he directed his hand to the
left breast of the deceased
Mr.. Rouss asked what she was going
to do with the remains. Il can't give
him up" she said. 81 can't put him in
the bTOuIlQ. L CdIl I DSe1f " tillIih VI IL.
We're going to bring him back home.
The body will probably be taken to
Fresh pond on Thursday for cremation,
but this arrangement is subject to
change.
During the morning there were many
visitors to look upon the face of the
deceased. Among them were several
old colored servants of the family who
had come from Washington and taken
four days off and paid their own ex-
penseS to do honor to their benefactor.
Among these were two former buffers
of the family. One old man, who was a
baggageman on the railroad, came
down from Long Island, others came
from Chicago, Syracuse and Buffalo.
Many additional kilograms Of sym
pathy were received today, one Of them
being from Gen. Miles. Floral tributes
were received all the morning, and
there were two rooms full of them. A
photograph of the body was taken this
afternoon just as it lay surrounded by
those flowers.

ONE MORE LYNcHlNG.
Charles Mack Strung To Tree and Rid
died With Bullets.

cambridge, Ca, July 25.-Charles
Mack, the second of the ogletree Bap-
lists, was lynched this morning at SAT-
fold. His crime was committed in
Early county, and citizens of this (De-
catur) county refused to let the mob
bring the man into cambridge, since
1t was desired that an innocent county
should not suffer the odium of a lynch
ing committed by citizens Of another
county.
Mack was therefore taken to Sa.ffold.
the scene of his crime, in Early county.
When that place was reached the mob
found the body of Louis Sammin, who
had been lynched As hours before still
swinging to the line on which 1t had
been left. Mack was carried to Mrs.
Ogletree. She recognized him at once,
as did also her husband Mack made
a confession to every fact except hold
ing pistol to Ogletree's head while
Sammin committed the assault.
Mack was then taken to a. tree near
that on which hung the body of Sam
min and strung up. AS he was pulled
off the ground his body was riddled
with bullets. The story that negroes
were lynched and scalped in the lower
part of the county, day before yester-
day, is denied by the sheriff.

CRAMP DENIES 1T.
Will Not Admit He Has
Changed Lines of
Maine.

Philadelphia, July 25.-Henry w.
Cramp, vice president of the Cramp
Ship Building Company, today denied
the statement published in a Washing
ton special to New York newspaper,
that serious defects had been discov-
cred in the huh design of the new bat
tleship Maine, now in course of con-
structfon at Cramps
The publication referred to stated
that Cramps had made the lines of
the null much finer to secure extra
speed, bringing her displacement down
to 1890 tons. In the meantime, prepa-
ratlons for armor, armament, ammuni-
ton, ETC.. had been progressing, with
the understanding that 1880 dead
weight would cause the vessel to draw draw
only 23 feet 103a inches of water. The
pairing down of the hull, 1t was stated,
means that 200 tons of armor must be
sacrlhced or she will draw "a feet "a
inches, which would render her inacces-
sible to many ports, and expose her to
danger
Mr.. Cramp, In his statement, SAYS
there is an excess instead of a shortage
in displacement, and as the Maine is
now building the actual disbursement
is 1850 tons, with q draught of %
feet l01s inches. He states that the
article is based on conclusions drawn
or deduced from a fact which is of
no material importance to any one IA
mlliar with naval architecture. Con-
tlnuing. he says the addition of the
krupp type Of armor, which, at the
time the design was accepted, it was
confidently expected that congress
would approve, will leave of itself a
margin far more than sufficient to over
paIance, or make good 200 tons, or twice
wv tons IN relative value of protection,
not only as compared with the develor,.
ment of the Krupp process ITSELF uu
70 the present time, but in view of the
fact that before the Maine would need
ner armor, there would be opportunity
tor year and half for further devel-
opment.

TROOPS GUARD PRISONER.
Infuriated Throng of WouId.Bs Lynchers
Threaten to Attack Jail,

Savannah, Ga, July photographic
orders were received here tonight from
Gov. Gambler, addressed to Capt. Mid
dletown of the state militia at Valde-
sofa and Capt. Smith of Thomasville,
ito report to Sheriff Patterson at Balm
bridge with all available men at once"
and Ito act strictly under his orders.
Arrangements were Immediately
made for a special car on the Plant
system to take the troo0s. The train
will arrive at cambridge at a. M
The troops are wanted to protect the
sheriff and the Jail against the attack
of mob that is after John Williams a
negro, who is charged with assaulting
and attempting to rape two white girls
Many country people are in town, and
swear they will have Williams if they
have to dynamite the Jail. The Deca-
tur Jail is one of the strongest in the
state. Should an attack upon 1t be
made before the arrival of the troops,
there will probably be bloodshed.
