 The remains of the late Charles Naggs were shipped from Bergln's undertaking rooms this afternon to the crematory at Fresh Pond, l. IL, where, in accordance with the wish of the de- ceased, they will be reduced to ashes. [ The dust will be returntd and inferred in some suitable place to be selected , by the administrator. Nicholas Com bellack of the Boys club, who was ap- pointed to act in that capacity to-day by Judge Robert F. Lowe of the pro- bate court. The tragic death of Mir Naggs was a rude shock to his friends. especially to half dozen aequaint- ances with whom he sat and chatted pleasantly for an hour or so Sunday and left for home to all appearances in the best of spirits. Those who were close to him attribute his down. ward step to the constant reading of nhe works of Robert c. Ingersoll and others who make light of things that are sacred to all Christian people. Aside from this he had many excellent qualities of heart and mind that en- deared him to those who knew him in- timately.
