were taken ON the night train ON Mon
day to New London, arriving there ear
ly yesterday morning. 1t was the in
tention of the funeral party to have left
New London yesterday morning for
Orient, l.. l., where the burial was to
take place, but the captain of the steam
er dare not venture out in such a storm
as was prevailing yesterday In conse-
quence the party took the next train for
New York, intending to leave yesterday
at 8 p. m. by the Long Island railroad |
