Remains Inferred al Nice.

Advice was received here last
week of the determination to inter
the remains of the late Mr.. Lewis
Washington, an account of whose
death was published in the COURIER
last week, at Nice the place of his
death.
The remains were inferred in
the English Cemetery there. the
officiating clergyman being the
Rector of the American Episcopal
Church, and while the cablegram
did not give the name of the Off
ciating minister, it is believed to
have been Rev. Edward ii. Ingle,
who so ably and popularity filed
the pulpit at Christ Church, Mill
wood, for several years, but who
accepted call to Nice last year.
We are informed that the body
will probably be disinterred later
and removed to this country. but
as several months, and perhaps a
year, would be consumed in per-
fecting all of the arrangements for
such removal which are required
by the French Government, it was
thought best to carry out the inten-
tions of the widow and relatives as
indicated.
