BURIED AT ROUND TOP.
r~nerai services over the Remains
of Evangelist Moody Held at
East NorthAeld, Mass.

East Mortified, Mass, Dec. 27.-The
funeral services over the remains of
Dwight Z. Moody were held at the Con-
gregational church Tuesday before q
large audience.
Men who for many years have been
connected with Mr.. Moody's work took
part. Rev. C. I. Schofield, d. D., off,
ciated, assisted by Rev. A. Torrey, of the
Moody Bible institute, Chicago.
DIR. Schofield said in part:
I'VE are met, dear friends. not to mourn
a defeat, but to celebrate triumph. He
walked with God and he was not, for God
took him. There in the west. in the pres
ence Of great audiences Of 1900 Of his
fellow men. God spoke to him and told
him to lay 1t all down and come home.
He would have planned 1t so. This is not
the place nor am I the man to present a
study Of the life and character Of Dwight
L. Moody. No one will ever question that
We are to-day laying in the kindly bosom
Of the earth the mortal body of great
man.
..The secret Of Dwight L. Moody's power
lay: First, In definite experience of
Christ's saving grace. He had passed out Of
death into life, and he knew it. Secondly,
Mr.. Moody believed in the Divine author
ity Of the Scriptures. The Bible was to
him the voice Of God and he made it re-
sound as such in the consciences of men.
Thirdly, he was baptized with the Holy
Spirit and knew that he was. It was to
him as definite an experience as his CONVEX
sion.
"Fourthly, he was a man of prayer He
believed In a living and unfettered God.
'But filthy, Mr.. Moody believed ir work.
in ceaseless effort, in wise provision, in
the power Of organization. of publicity.
II like to think Of Dwight L. Moody in
Heaven. like to think Of him with his
Lord and with Elijah. Daniel, Paul, Au-
Farewell, for a little time, great heart.
May a double portion of the spirit be
vouchsafed to us who remain"
The last speaker of the afternoon
was Will R. Moody, the oldest son of
the dead evangelist. Rising in his
pew in the body of the church and
looking at the body of his father, Mr..
Moody said in part:
IT wish to speak Of my father as hus-
band and father and OF his great kindness
to his wife and children. At times he spoke
to us quickly, almost sternly, and later
with tears in his eyes, he would express re.
greet that he had spoken so quickly. He was
tenderness itself. He was filled with con-
secration. and only those who knew him
and loved him as did his family can truly
appreciate the loving tenderness of his do
nestle life. Father did not crave death.
He loved his work. but he was willing to
CO."
The body was then carried to the
burial place ut Round Top. The
chorus sang "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" and after prayer and bene-
diction the body was lowered to its
resting place.

Upon this top are laid out the streets of the borough as they were in 1S40, with the canal and houses loca-s ted in their relative positions It Is of mahogany. The streets are marked by placing a strip of the same wood so that the grain will run in the opposite direction to the general run of it in the main piece. The canal and tall races are of mahogany of darker shade, while the frame houses are of holly with the roofs outlined with dark mahogany. The mills and stone buildings are in dark mahogany also
 All the streets, canals and buildings are inlaid and the workmanship shows that the maker had reached a high de- gree of skill. Henry Tobias, German, employed by Stephen N. Summers, made the map about 1S4o, gettingk his knowledge of the location of the build- ings from personal observation. He showed great pains in getting every building exactly located and, in some instances, went so far as to give good outline of the buildings. People fa-F miliar with this kind of woodworking will appreciate the duf11cult task he exe- cuted.
 The map shows nine streets and there are fifty-flve buildings, including barns.

RICE GETS DECISION OVER CON-
ROY.
Boxing at St. Patricks T. A. B. Hall
 Last Night.

dC ot. I, A, Ildll Last Night
 | A "standing-room- only" crowd of spectators assembled at St. Patrick's Y.
 M. T. A. B hall on Wallace street last evening for the second smoker of the
 year given by this popular organiza- tion. They enjoyed judicious mixture of vocal and instrumental music, fol- lowed by some high-class boxing, the first bout of which showed Costello and
 Breslin, local boxers, at catchweights.
 The gong saved Breslin in the third round of what was to have been a six
 round bout It didn't come in time in
 the fourth, however, and Costello, a brief but spirited grandson of Italy, got the money Breslin returned to con sciousness without medical assistance,
 though he had to be pulled back through the ropes first.
 Walsh and Gallagher, heavier locals, shook hands at catchweights and prom ised to do their best for ten rounds. Gallagher was heavier, but Walsh had all the condition. Gallagher led the oftener in the opening rounds and de- served the draw he got for his game 
 ness.
 Austin Rice of New London shook hands with 'Kid'' Conroy of this city for a fifteen-round "go" at 126 pounds at 10:SO Both seemed in the best of condition. Cohroy, was six and a half pounds overweight, but Rice kindly consented to oblige. He had the better of the first round, relying chiefly on the straight left for the body, which Con- roy found so puzzling> in McCue. The second was Rices In the third he va ried the straight left with a right swing on the kidneys in .clinches, and the fourth was like the. third. Conroy's wind was not so good Tn the fifth as In the preceding rounds, but he seemed to be as light on his feet and as willing as before. His mouth was slightly cut in the sixth and it began to look like Rice. It looked more so in the seventh, when he began landing body blows almost at will. In the ninth Conroy landed two straight rights bn the jaw, and Rice slipped to the floor shortly after the first one. In the tenth Rice scored the first clean knock-down of the bout. Conroy did not take the count The

He was kept on the ropes most of the time during the fourteenth, once being pushed through on to the bell, which was accidentally rung. The men grim ned and continued. The fight ended in a decision for Rice, who had fairly earned it. The house was all for Con- roy but the decision was generally con- ceded to be perfectly pair
