FUNERAL OF OFFICER CLAY
Three Thousand People Attended the Obsequies at Jefferson City.

 of Dying At the Post of Duty.

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 27.-The flu neral of Officer John Clay, killed in the prison emeute, was held here, and was attended by probably 5000 peo- pie. Gov. Folk delivered an address, in which he paid high tribute to the deceased who lost his life in perform ance of his duty. Among other things he said:
 The greatest honor that a man can attain is to die at his post of duty. This brave man, whose mortal re- mains this afternoon we return to mother earth, achieved that distinc- tion. When the desperadoes in their wanton break for liberty came upon him, he had the option of being recre- ant to his trust and saving his life or being faithful to duty and to die. He chose the latter. and he choose well, for it is better, far better to fill he ro's grave than to live the life of a coward. l would rather. far rather, be this man in this grave than the richest man in all the world with a towards heart. I want the state of Missouri, through the next general as sembly. to erect a monument here and at Clinton. where the courageous old confederate who gave his life for hs state IS DOW being laid to rest, and on each of these monuments I want in scribed the words: He died at his post of duty A greater eu,ogy than this can not be paid to any man. l want the names of John Clay and of Ephriam Allison to live in the hearts of q grate ful people; I want their bravery to be enshrined in song and in story though their bodies are in the dust"

2AYMONO HAS CONFESSED
One of the Mutinous Missouri Con- victs Confcsses to Gov. Folk
 Reward for Ascompliccs.

Jefferson City. Mo. Nov. 27.-Gov. Folk has announced that he will offer a reward of $500 for the arrest and con- viction of the persons who furnished the firearms and explosives to the con- yicts which were used in the mutiny last Friday at the penitensiary.
 Gov. Folk has secured from Edward Raymond a confession regarding the matter. Raymond told the governor that Vaughan came to Ryan, Blake and himself. about a month ago, and told them that If they would join him he would enable them to make their es cape. Vaughan tod them while they were together In their cell that he had explosives by which he could blow up the stockade and they could escape. Later when it was discovered that Vaughan did not have a sufficient amount of the explosives, it was de- cided to hold up the deputy warden and make him let them out through the round gate. Blake was a locomo- tive engineer and the plan was to cap ture an engine and make their escape on l. This apparently explains their run to the Missouri Pacific yard, where Blake was killed before they came to an engine.
 Raymond denied to the governor that he knew of the firearms until the time came for the carrying out of the plot. when Vaughan took the other convicts to the sole leather room of the factory and showed them the pistols and the ammunition. Vaughan had kept these
