The funeral of James Hervey, the
victim of the tragedy of Thursday
night, took place yesterday morning
from his late residence near the 81
bridge. 1t was one of the largest fun
erals ever witnessed in that portion
of the county. An immense throng
gathered in the vicinity of the house,
and many followed the remains to
Stone Church in Elm Grove. where
the services were conducted. Every
pew was filled, the aisles were throng-
ed, and many were unable to gain
admission.
The officiating clergymen were the
Rev. Mr.. Greer and the Rev. Mr.. AL
len. The services were of very i'm
pressive character. At their conclu-
sion, the remains were borne to their
last resting place. The pall-bearers
were Messrs. C. S. Terrill, A. S.
Creighton, D. S. Thornburg, John R.
Clark, E. Carter and U. M. Hervey.
The excitement in Elm Grove and
Triadelphia and intermediate points
has not been allayed. Farmers are very
much worked up over the murder, and
the presence of lawless characters in
that part of the county, and are dis
cussing the advisability of forming a
vigilance committee to force objec-
tionable persons to leave.
Yesterday another club was found
in the vicinity of the Hervey home. in
a snow drift. 1t is square on one end,
and bound with heavy iron. 1t was
probably taken from the carriage shed,
and it is believed that it was carried
by the smaller of the two men who
visited the Hervey home Thursday
night.

been forthcoming concerning the Her
vey murder, near Elm Grove, Thurs
day night, has, had a tendency to es-
tablish the strongest chain of circum-
stantial evidence imaginable against
the suspects, John Mooney and Frank
Friday Owing to the snow on the
ground, their very footsteps were fol-
lowed from the scene of the dastardly
deed to the point the men were ar
rested. Not only that, but the
shoes of the two men fitted the foot
prints in the snow. Also, the hand
kerchiefs found on the men fitted the
description in every detail of the ones
used as masks by the assassins of
James Hervey All this evidence is
most damaging.
Yesterday one of the most promi-
nent business men in the town stated
that there was at least one man in
the city who does not believe Mooney
and Friday are the perpetrators of the
murder. The man referred to is
credited with the following state
ment:
While walking down Chapline street
Thursday evening between seven and
eight o'clock, he noticed two men
standing near Sixteenth street. The
next morning reading an account of
the murder In the papers he was
struck with the corresponding exact
ness of the description of the sus-
poets to the men he saw the evening
before. To further satisfy his curios-
ity, he went to the Jail to identity the
men, and it is his belief that they
are the same

AS a rule, my countrymen, while at

moderate smokers, not so much because

very little tobacco came into Japan

ing a poor bat frugal race, the masses
purchased only limited quantity OF

N A MES OF DAYS.
Have Curious Derivation which Few
People Know.

Last night l was at stag dinner,
where the company at large was asked
from what source the days Of the week
derived their names, and only ore man
out of the twelve present could answer
the question. and he was the man who
asked II, and he was one day wrong at
that, for I've since looked the matter
up. Sunday and Monday are simple
enough. and in themselves suggest
their derivation from the sun and
moon, but with Tuesday we come to
the ancient gods OF our forefathers, the
Engels, that hardy race that displayed
the Briton and gave their name to the
English people. Tuesday was named
for Twi. their god OF death; Wednes-
day for Odin, Wooden or Wotan, who
occupies In their mythology n position
analogous to that OF Jupiter on Mt.
Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god
OF air and storm and RAIN Friday for
Freia or Freya, the god OF peace, and
Saturday possibly for Sacterr, an OBJ
scure god OF their mythology, but more
probably 1t takes It's name for Saturn.
IL would seem as though almost any
one you would ask would know tho
derivation OF these words OF daily use,
but III wager that not one person out
of hundred can tell them correctly.
It's like the surprise the Bible gives
one not familiar with It, by the idloms
and phrases they will come across
when reading Its pages, that are fami-
liar and colloqulal In the language they
use, but which are uttered without
the slightest knowledge OF whence they
came on the part OF either speaker or
listener.-New York Tribune.
