The funeral of Roderick Mcneil was

The funeral of Roderick Mcneil was
held from st. Peters church this
morning at o'clock. The services,
which were largely attended by friends
of the deceased, were conducted by
Rev. A. Bronsgeest who preached an
appropriate sermon, commenting at
length on the life of the departed.
Many sorrowing friends followed the
remains to the Catholic cemetery
where they were laid away with the
respect that was due to such a man as
the deceased had proven himself dur
ing his lifetime. Much sympathy is
expressed for the bereaved family who
were deprived of SO good . father by
the unfortunate accident of Sunday

LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICE.
MIR. Adams Has Served Nine Years as Dr.
rector

Probably there is no one individual
in The Dalles who has done more for
the public schools and the cause Of
education than s. B. Adams, who now
closes his nine years of continuous SER
vice in the capacity of school, director.
It was largely through his efforts that
the Academy Park property. the hand
soonest school grounds in Oregon,
whereon two magnificent brick build
ings now stand, was secured by the
district, and to him more than any one
else is due the credit of erecting our
new high school building, which may
well be considered the pride of The
Dalles.
He has indeed been faithful public
servant, and many will regret to know
that he has determined to no longer
serve the district as director, though
it would be an imposition upon Mr..

Secretary Long VIII Reduce Number
of Men i'm the Navy Fast SIS Possible.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Orders
have been issued by Secretary Long direct
ing the discharge of a large number of men
who enlisted for one year. from ships I'M
dergoing repairs at various navy yards
These orders are in line with the secretary s
intention to reduce the navy to a peace
footing as rapidly as possible. There are
now 1900 enlisted men on the rolls, every
one Of whom is needed to man ships which
are in commission. 1t is evident to the au-
thorities, however, that the treaty of peace
viii be ratified. and then immediate reduc-
ton to a peace footing must be made. be-
sides the extraordinary appropriations
made by Congress limited the use OF the
money until Jan. /, 1885, and expenses must
be cut down to permit the navy 10 run on
the Cd scale of expenditures Under orders
issued by the department it is expected That
at least eight hundred men will be dis
charged. The result will be to make a
number of vessels short-handed. 1t Is pro-
posed to acquaint Congress with this condl-
ton of the service, and it is believed that
authority will be given in the forthcoming
naval appropriation bill for 200O men ana
200 boys, as recommended by Secretary
Long"

Will be the beginning of the end Owing to
the vast interests involved and the enormous
amount of detail that has to be attended to
at least two months will elapse before the
control of Receivers Cowen and Murray will
end. Though the Baltimore & Ohio South
western Railway and the Central Ohio Rail-
road will practically be merged into the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad under the re-
organization plans it was learned to-day
that the offices OF the Baltimore & Ohio
southwestern will not be removed from Gin
cinnati to Baltimore. There are some diff
ficulties in the way of this which cannot be
removed. The offices of the three companies
will be identical, though the organizations
will be maintained to comply with the laws.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary Long
has at length determined to begin the sale
of such vessels of the auxiliary navy as are
not considered fit for the naval service.
BY this it is not intended to convey the
idea that the vessels are not seaworthy,
are in bad repair or structurally weak on
the contrary. most of them are modern YES
sells of excellent type, high speed and splen~
didly appointed but were built as pleasure
craft and, therefore are lacking in many
things that go to make up a naval vessel
Few of them, for instance, have water
tight bulkheads and most of their machin-
cry is too much exposed for safety in action.
The first of the vessels to be disposed of
will be the MayfioWer formerly owned by
the Ogden-Goelet estate. Before being sold
her battery will be removed. She is now at
Havana, and orders to-day were sent to her
TO come north.

BOSTON EDITOR RELEASED.
Mr.. Wardner Has Promised Not to
Offend the Court Again.

BOSTON. Mass, Dec. 81. - Torrey f.
Wardner editor of the Boston Traveller.
who a week ago was committed to Dedham
Jail for thirty days for contempt of court by
Judge Sherman, was ordered released late
this afternoon. Mr.. Wardner has purged
himself of the contempt. A petition praying
for the release was presented to Judge Sher-
man by G.. P. Wardner, brother of Mr..
Wardner, and his counsel in which the pc
titiOner set forth his conviction that the
law had been violated by the publication OF
the editorial which appeared in the Trav-
eler respecting the Getchell manslaughter
trial and upon which the contempt pro-
ceedings were taken. together with his as
surance that he would not again offend in
this respect. The petition also stated that
the petitioner had found that close conhne-
ment in prison had affected his health and
that IL ne was required to serve the re-
mainder of the sentence he might be serious
ly i'll.
On receiving the petition Judge Sherman
promptly ordered Mr.. Wardner's release
ed by Mr.. Wardner and the conditions at
tending the action were set forth in an ar
ti nc. which appeared in . the Traveller this
able anxiety on the part of the friends and
family of Editor Wardner concerning the
precarious state of his health. The
1inement in Dedham Jail and the utter
change in diet and mode of life have been
steadily undermining Mr.. Wardner's robust
physique, and, though he succeeded in con-
cealing this from his friends and family at
first, they have finally become convinced
that Mr. Wardner is on the verge of prostra-
ton They have urged him, now that his
counsel have advised him that the Supreme
Bench will without doubt confirm the de-
cision of Judge Sherman, that he can with
perfect propriety purge himself Of contempt
and secure his freedom. HIS announced irA
tention Of resisting the law. they say is
virtually accomplished, and the state of his
after having determined that the law how
ever unjust and needful of modification, is
sustained by the highest judicial authority"
